Gangnam Style!



www.conversations.nokia.com

Many videos are famous today because of the dancers.  Dancers can make or break a music video.  When dancers accurately portray the messsage of the song through dance, they draw an audience in.  This will increase the popularity of the song and help the artist become more well known.  In return, dancers get paid well to continue helping the careers of many different artists.

This popular song, Gangnam Style by Psy, is famously known for the outrageous dance moves in the music video.  It has become an internet sensation in just weeks.  The dancers in this music video have become known for their different, catchy moves.  This dance has eve become a popular zumba dance in Hinsdale Central aerobics classes.  These dancers get paid lots of money to help make this song so popular.  How many of you know the moves from this song?

  1. I was wondering if this video and the dances in this video are as popular in Korea as they are here?

  2. I think it's interesting how you pointed out that some videos became famous because of the dancers, but I think you could also expand that to say that some dancers become famous because of the videos. It gives them more exposure, especially if they intend on doing more of this type of dance. Another point you could mention would be other forms of media and dance- personally, I watch So You Think You Can Dance, and I know many dancers have launched careers due to that show, even if they didn't win.
