Dance Cover Showcase: Melany
Could you tell us who you are, where you’re from and why you have chosen this dance cover as your showcase?
Hi my name is Melany. I’m 19 years old and I’m from Italy!
My choice for the showcase is “Odd Eye by Dreamcatcher”.
I chose this dance cover, because I think the choreography is wonderful and gave me a lot of energy.
(interview continues after the dance cover)
So how long did you have to study the choreography?
Usually it takes me around 30 minutes to memorize all the steps, but I practice the choreography at least for 2 days to clean every single step.
How long does it normally take for you to memorize the choreography?
Usually for the girl groups it takes me around 20/40 minutes I think, but for the boy groups it takes me 2/3 days, because their choreography are really hard for me and I want to do my best in every single cover so I take a little more time.
What was the most difficult part of the choreography?
I think the most difficult part of this choreography was the speed with which you need to run the steps (from 0.28 to 0.35). It’s pretty difficult to be precise and clean by going fast haha.
Were you surprised that the choreography was easy / difficult and why?
At first I thought that this choreography was impossible to do, but in the end I was really surprised that after learning the steps, it’s really simple and fun to cover it!
How did you come up with your outfit?
The choice of the dress is so difficult every single time LMAO, because I want to inspire myself to the clothing from the idols, but not copy the exact stage outfit.
Are there hidden bloopers / secrets in your dance covers?
Yes, of course there are bloopers!! The harness I was wearing was a difficult friend lol, every step I did, it fell off and I had to stop recording every second!!
If you could give one positive message / advice to anyone out there who loves to do K-pop dance covers, what would it be?
Please guys if you love dancing to K-pop songs or dancing in general, don’t listen to the bad things that some people can say to you. I know that sometimes these words can hurt you, but you ARE STRONG and WONDERFUL and NO ONE CAN RUIN YOUR DREAM!
And last but not least: If you could give a shout out to another K-pop dancer, because people need to see their showcase. Who would you like to give a shoutout to and why?
Mmh this is a difficult question, because every person deserves to be viewed. Every single person in this social are an amazing talent and extraordinary dancer!
So in the end, I won’t mention someone in particular, but mention all the dancers in the world, because each of them deserves to be seen and appreciated. <3
