This Robot Dance Takes the Dance Style to New Heights
Jonathon Brown — December 11, 2012 — Pop Culture
What a robot dance! Appearing on an Asian dance competition show, this dancer puts on a clinic with his incredibly real robot dance.
The unnamed dancer exhibits magnificent body control as he starts from a crouched position and raises up his upper body mechanically. His movements are deliberate and robotic, so much so that he actually looks like a real robot at several moments in the video. The lights flash and the crowd cheers as he gyrates his way from one move to another, using the entire stage.
The robot dance is a style that creates the illusion that the dancer is actually being controlled by a remote control or at the very least is not a human. Whereas traditional dancing can include fluid, leaping movements, the robot dance means every movement is calculated and deliberate.
