Choreography research

Trap music has a big connection to choreography and dancing. The style of dancing is called hiphop, similarly to the music as Trap also stems from hiphop music.

Dj Sliink - Run Ricky Run is a good reference and example of dancing to Trap music.

In the first track of this music video, it features multiple dancers in different locations with different styles and choreography. The editing in the video alternates between them all in a fast paced manner.

We have decided on 3 dancers - Carol, Ching, and April. We will present them with a few ideas and influences we would like them to include, but we will focus more heavily on camera work and editing, the actual choreography we want to leave it to the dancers.

A common thing in hip hop dance videos, especially from dedicated dance channels on Youtube, is the use of camera. The movements of the camera follow the movements of the dancers in order to emphasise the sense of movement.

This is a video from Urban Dance Camp. Other channels such as 1 Million do use this camera effect in a subtle way, however this video uses it in a more obvious way.
