These days, fans throw this term around and call anyone a professional dancer. There’s a big difference between being a professional dancer and an idol dancer. Just because someone is incredibly skilled doesn’t automatically make them a professional dancer.
Some of the idols I consider to be among the best dancers in Kpop are:
• Taemin (SHINee)
• Kai (EXO)
• Hyoyeon (SNSD)
• Jimin & J-Hope (BTS)
• Ten (NCT)
• Shotaro (Riize)
• Bailey (Adp)
• Sung Hanbin (Zb1)
• Tomoya, Haru & Yu (NEXZ)
• Ni-ki (Enhypen)
• Seulgi (Red Velvet)
• Soul (P1H)
• Justin/JJ (smtr25)
(There are many more, but I can’t name everyone here)
They’re all skilled exceptional dancers, but I don’t think all of them would necessarily be considered professional dancers.
Here are the questions I’m curious about:
-
Who are the actual professional dancers in K-pop?
-
Do these things make someone a professional dancer?
The above idols I mentioned:
● Have years of dancing experience before becoming trainees.
●Have participated in choreographing
●Have won well-known dance competitions.
●Worked as backup dancers
Do these achievements alone make someone a professional dancer, or is there a different standard?
- What’s the difference between a professional dancer and a highly skilled idol dancer?
If there are any professional dancers or people with dance experience or knowledge in this area, feel free to share your opinions.
