It took me a while to realise that I really love the fact that the female dancers keep theirs faces neutral and let the movements speak for themselves. They are all so strong.
Its because the women were representing something abstract. They were al supposed to be one organism wheras the front man is his own entitiy and therefore less neutral in his expressions
So beautiful. I'm 42 yrs old and a retired dancer but oh when I see moves like this, contemporary dance has come so far, I wish I could glide across the stage like these stunning dancers. I wasn't expecting contemporary but the flow of the movements told the story perfectly. So well done.
So.. I guess this is what they do at the secret Beauxbatons training camp. A bunch of lovely women dancing together with their coach before the tri-wizard tournament is freaking cool AF
Laoal Jaiplum hhahaa im not even a major potter fan, but i couldnt pinpoint who those girls reminded me of, lol yes they are like them 😂😂 love it & this video
It is so important to bring those beautiful choreography works out through qualitative cinematography! This is as much moving as watching spectacular nature landscapes on a big screen and more. All crew work put in this video is just brilliant!
Anneli Arro Music I agree! Its important that people recognize the construction behind this piece! Its marvelous. Hey if you have a sec please checkout my dance video and let me know what you think! THANKS 😀
maybe i'm seeing to much into this but their motions imitate a river, everything is continuous, synchronized, and basically flowing from the start till the end. there are parts when they do the domino effect sorta thing, but they also have that eye of the storm (circular) thing where the center is calm but surrounded by organized chaos, just like a cyclone. plus, the color of their clothes kind of allude to this idea as well.
Wow, I am very impressed by this dance! The choreography is absolutely breathtaking and the visual effects created by the dancers' movements are incredible. Also, the dancers are so in sync it looks unreal. I'm truly speechless, great job!
First off, I am waaaaayyy older than everyone on here, literally from another generation. The dancing, music, backdrop, colors all melted together into one slowly over time. I can't dance worth shi*t, but can tell getting that many people in one group to move together is a rough project and well done, much better than the usual stuff you see put out. If all of you are speaking to another generation of people, you are battin 100 💪🙌 Keep up the great work and congrats to all of you. XOXO from Chicago🙂
Cry Me a River is one of my favorite Justin Timberlake songs. I NEVER imagined that someone could dance to it! This is beautiful. After the incredible dancing, my favorite part are the blue gowns the women are wearing and their river current-like movements.
😱😱😱😱😲😲😱😱😱😱😱 legit one of the sickest things I have EVER seen ----- ridiculous how utterly Stellar this is... I literally have no words good enough 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I admire this piece as the artist combined three different generes, I saw contemporary, one modern style hiphop phrase, and close to the end of the song I saw what looked like a lyrical or liturgical phrase, wow! There sky blue or ocean blue packaging was quite fitting for the theme of the piece ( Cry me a River) love it.
Andrew Winghart this is excellent! From beginning to end. Would you consider checking out BTS's mv's? Not Today is hittin it but they have a lot of others that may be more your style. Would love it if you could get some of your choreo in an MV!
I've watched this so many times. To the point, I heard the song on the radio and this is all I could picture. The movements are hauntingly beautiful and I feel it in the guys facial expression.
I can't imagine how much passion and work went into this masterpiece: the chores, the body control of the performers, the cinematic and camera work, awesome!
This is why I love modern dance. This work is a truly outstanding use of space, rhythm, and justa-position of movement elements- bound verses free and slow verses quick. I was mesmerized by the wave-like, ebb and flow sequential group movements. The creative, edgy choreography made way for dynamic emotional piece that I will not soon forget. This is a masterpiece. Bravo!
This was absolutely spectacular. 🫶 The different shades of blue dresses & their neutral faces the entire time added so much to that dance. Absolutely loved it & that song. ❤
unexpected influx of comments in the last 24 hours..... not sure why that is happening but either way thanks so much for all of the kind words on this one!
Andrew Winghart Andrew this is a brilliant piece of work, thank you for sharing!. I was just curious to know why you hired someone to be the lead instead of dancing yourself?
This video is EXACTLY what i have been wanting from the dance community, and what i want to work towards aswell. thankyou SO MUCH for making this beautiful video and choreography. well done sir, WELL DONE
The lead dancer had one Fine Attitude throughout his entire body and demeanor. 2:36 to the finish - especially love those swaying, lilting lifts. mm mm Gooood.♥ Bravo to all!
it’s only as i’ve had to learn this dance for part of my gcse grade that i really took into appreciation how hard it is. they all make it look so flawless and easy, the strength they have is incredible, the whole thing is amazing
They most likely did all of these shots at different times of the day so most likely there is lighting variations. I could tell at some parts that they had to have lighting as it was towards the end of the day.
we had one giant light source in front and the rest was all natural light you are correct - our shoot day was pretty short as light was contingent on sun being out!
@Tesy Lava I think so too, for example, you can see a big light change between the first and the last shot. The windows in the ceiling show that the sun moved. I guess the first one was done at noon, sun directly above/between both windows, while the last one was done 2-3 hours before or most probably after. They most probably started in the morning with setting up the euipment, costume and makeup for the dancers and some warmup/rehearsal, then started shooting around noon with the totals. Colser shot, like the one at 01:52, were probably done later in the afternoon, when the windows in the background didn't look that nice anymore (that's how I would do it) and you can clearly see there is a big soft light source placed on the right side outside the frame. As Andrew said in another comment, that light source was also used as fill light in the frontal shots
A message to the choreographer - Andrew Winghart - fantastic imagery. Dance shows that tempest of a river by the beautiful dancers. Do not know if that was your intent - that was my first impression. I realize this video is old but so relevant today - with all of us crying tears that can fill not just a river but an ocean with our lives been drastically changed by these Covid chaotic times. I thank you ever so much and I would love your feed back if by chance you ever see this post.
I’ve watched this video about four times in a week. And I’m mesmerized every single time at the precision and perfect execution of every one of his dance moves. It’s done so perfect including the facial expressions that he must be an alien or a robot. He’s extraordinarily talented.
Such a so beautiful thing to watch for❣ The whole time they reproduce the water movement, the alternation of waves, and mixing of blue depth of the water. I can't explain how much I loved it! The interaction of him to the water, when he is surround by them, like they reproduce the response of the water in circles in relation to his movements surrounded my "water". What a choreograph! What a dancers!🏆👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
SPECTACULAR! Had to watch it again & again. Can’t take my eyes off the handsome Dance teacher.( he’s gawjuss) and the girls were mesmerising together. Simply Fantastic 👏👏👏👏👏👌
This is the best choreography video I’ve seen all year. Reminds me of when I used to picture myself dancing pointe to rap songs as I listened to them lol 😂
This perfectly reflects the situation at my dance classes when I was a kid: 37 girls and 1 boy. You'd have to cry a river to form a pair with him haha.
Truly a masterpiece!! The music, the choreography and the person who edit this video did amazing job!!! the changes of the images combined with the music was sooo good!!
Simply perfect mix of the dance, music and lyrics. Only true artist has skin thin enough to feel the song right, vision clear enough to see how exactly dancers should perform and the soul so pure to create such a brilliant canvas. Beautiful
Bouncy Avi 🤦🏻♀️ That’s not what feminism is. And since y’all are asking, I wouldn’t go so far as to click the dislike button, or even comment on my own accord...but I’ve definitely got some issues with the some of the artistic choices. Dancers technique and execution were great, and I could see some bits of the complexity that the creator was trying to convey, but for me it mostly fell short. 😐🤷🏻♀️ Again, I’m not usually one to give my two cents when it’s negative, but it was very very homogeneous which translated into basic/boring for me. There were many missed opportunities to add complexity and dimension, & the choreo almost exclusively chose to emphasize the melodious parts, right off the top of the song- which my ears don’t need help picking up on! Nothing to bring about background sounds or harmonies you wouldn’t notice on your own. And if this was executed well I would totally look past the little a costume- but the dress was a total miss for me! I don’t understand what the director is going for here! I did enjoy the camerawork! But Overall it was just okay. 🤷🏻♀️ 😬
It took me a while to realise that I really love the fact that the female dancers keep theirs faces neutral and let the movements speak for themselves. They are all so strong.
As you dance you become the music and the music becomes you dancing is a very fantastic way of expressing ones self
Its because the women were representing something abstract. They were al supposed to be one organism wheras the front man is his own entitiy and therefore less neutral in his expressions
bom
That was some Handmaid's Tale bullcrap if you ask me...wtf was this
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
So beautiful. I'm 42 yrs old and a retired dancer but oh when I see moves like this, contemporary dance has come so far, I wish I could glide across the stage like these stunning dancers. I wasn't expecting contemporary but the flow of the movements told the story perfectly. So well done.
I'm 42 now, never to late to bust a move....I plan to start dancing as a hobby now
Indeed a masterpiece at all levels: concept, choreography, performance, photography, costume, everything!
wtf
you are so right Ellie amazing work
I just used this video in a class on ancient Greek tragedy to explain the Chorus. Love it.
Wow! The girls were his river of tears...they flowed and ebbed and reflected his emotions! This was spectacular.
Mesmerizing! And the idea of picking different shades of blue for the dresses was very on point. Added even more dinnamism to the movements.
So.. I guess this is what they do at the secret Beauxbatons training camp. A bunch of lovely women dancing together with their coach before the tri-wizard tournament is freaking cool AF
this is the best comment i've ever seen
Laoal Jaiplum hhahaa im not even a major potter fan, but i couldnt pinpoint who those girls reminded me of, lol yes they are like them 😂😂 love it & this video
lol i thought of Beauxbatons too when i first saw the video
Laoal Jaiplum thats what I thought when I watched it the first time 😂
its not only girls, theres a couple boys in there
It is so important to bring those beautiful choreography works out through qualitative cinematography! This is as much moving as watching spectacular nature landscapes on a big screen and more. All crew work put in this video is just brilliant!
I very much agree! Thanks so much for the kind words!
Elegant with an edge💃🏽🕺🏽
Brilliant work, Andrew Winghart!
Anneli Arro Music I agree! Its important that people recognize the construction behind this piece! Its marvelous. Hey if you have a sec please checkout my dance video and let me know what you think! THANKS 😀
I love the sequence of every dance move, it truly gives the visual effect of an actual river. Beautifully done.
I always love to come back to this video - it’s just stunning 💙
Stunning indeed 🥹
maybe i'm seeing to much into this but their motions imitate a river, everything is continuous, synchronized, and basically flowing from the start till the end. there are parts when they do the domino effect sorta thing, but they also have that eye of the storm (circular) thing where the center is calm but surrounded by organized chaos, just like a cyclone. plus, the color of their clothes kind of allude to this idea as well.
The perfect description
Agree
Exactly!! Agree
Agree too.
Да, мужское начало структуирует женскую жнергию, которая в свою очередь толкает мужское начало вперед❤😊 трансформация инь-ян
this i called art.... a masterpiece
Love it. So powerful ❤️
Are you kidding me right now ...that was AMAZING OMG!!!!! THAT CHOREO WAS INSANE!
Crying a river was exactly what I did after watching this video!!
Damn it's so good, WOW!!
Jeremy Paul Me too!!
This is the most beautiful and heartbreaking dance that I’ve seen in my whole life ❤️😭
Svetlana Tulasi so beautiful and powerful
Then watch Pina by Wim Wenders :)
Stunning! I love the blue representation of the river/tears. My fave part is 2:35, where they're swaying from side to side. Perfection.
Everything about this video is so right.
The dance.
The music.
The setting.
The lighting.
The costume.
The cinematography.
Great job to everyone!
Whoaaa sickkkk
Wow, I am very impressed by this dance! The choreography is absolutely breathtaking and the visual effects created by the dancers' movements are incredible. Also, the dancers are so in sync it looks unreal. I'm truly speechless, great job!
this looks amazing.
and totally agree with the commenters about the great part at 1:50 - 2:02 .
That is my favorite part!!!!
This is what choreography in modern film musicals should be like.
First off, I am waaaaayyy older than everyone on here, literally from another generation. The dancing, music, backdrop, colors all melted together into one slowly over time.

Everything is great. The ensemble are so strong. Well done. :)
I can't stop watching it. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I saw this on Facebook and it is BLOWING UP!!! That part at 1:51-1:57! MY GOD!!!😃🙌🏾❤️
Afronerd_92 Best part!
Afronerd_92 YES 😍😍😍😍😍😍
YESSS that part gave me goosebumps !!! its amazing !!!!! :DDD
Ya! he is a teacher at JUMP dance convention and he taught that to us! It was hard but so much fun.
Afronerd_92 I know! I feel like I saw this before it was on youtube 😮
This is perfection. Mesmerizing, intelligent, beautifully executed, just perfect.
Cry Me a River is one of my favorite Justin Timberlake songs. I NEVER imagined that someone could dance to it! This is beautiful. After the incredible dancing, my favorite part are the blue gowns the women are wearing and their river current-like movements.
Andrew Freaking Winghart, done did it again. 😭😭😭😭
😱😱😱😱😲😲😱😱😱😱😱 legit one of the sickest things I have EVER seen ----- ridiculous how utterly Stellar this is... I literally have no words good enough 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
i can't help seeig Beauxbatons doing this #potterdhead
Claudia Nyamda glad i'm not the only one 😂
Timberland’s production just so many layers to work with. Beautiful
Amazing Dancing moves!❤🎉
All of the dancers in this video were PHENOMENAL.
You are such a huge inspiration. Incredible video! As always.
I always come back to watch this video.
So strong! Both the choreography as well as the dancers! Thank you for this refreshing piece of art.
You think you have seen everything and then this video shows up. Incredible dance routine.
I admire this piece as the artist combined three different generes, I saw contemporary, one modern style hiphop phrase, and close to the end of the song I saw what looked like a lyrical or liturgical phrase, wow! There sky blue or ocean blue packaging was quite fitting for the theme of the piece ( Cry me a River) love it.
I am literally OBSESSED with this choreography. Emotional lyrics + intricate choreography + a layered Timbaland beat = my favorite kind of dance ever.
super cool andrew! love it!
thanks carrie!!
Andrew Winghart this is excellent! From beginning to end.
Would you consider checking out BTS's mv's? Not Today is hittin it but they have a lot of others that may be more your style.
Would love it if you could get some of your choreo in an MV!
yes army you promo our boys
Still as much of a masterpiece as the day it was uploaded. Excellent
I m blown away they killed it completely the waves the movements the vibes no smiles damn loved it
That footwork is absolutely insane! Great job you guys!
2:30 onwards was absolute perfection for me!! I loved the whole piece but that last two minutes... Goosebumps!!!
1:50 - 1:51 that moment when they move in unison looked so good to me
I feel like I’m in a secret showing of the Mockingjay’s District 12 underground dance recitals the night before the reaping.
Omg yesss I was thinking that to hahaha
Could be Divergent too.
Or the Handmaids!
Strong real men who can dance are so attractive.
This should have been the video for this song! Amazing!
I've watched this so many times. To the point, I heard the song on the radio and this is all I could picture.
The movements are hauntingly beautiful and I feel it in the guys facial expression.

You remind me of Akram Khan..Brilliant, all of you.

Fantastic composition (beyond the hype). Gave me shivers.
Andrew Winghart Andrew this is a brilliant piece of work, thank you for sharing!. I was just curious to know why you hired someone to be the lead instead of dancing yourself?
Andrew Winghart Bollroom dancing
This video is EXACTLY what i have been wanting from the dance community, and what i want to work towards aswell.
thankyou SO MUCH for making this beautiful video and choreography.
well done sir,
WELL
DONE
Andrew Winghart this choreography is superb
This is so beautiful omgg
wow the video was at like 70k views when I left his comment
This dance is AMAZING! I watch it all the time. The song is beautiful. They are all extremely talented dancers.
The lead dancer had one Fine Attitude throughout his entire body and demeanor.
2:36 to the finish - especially love those swaying, lilting lifts. mm mm Gooood.♥
Bravo to all!
Agree finish was spectacular, some of the movement earlier in the video could have been as well practiced.
Amazing choreography. The dance is impeccably executed. Truly inspiring.
George George George ❤🤘🏾 but this choreography and directorial is amazing I love this 😎
This looks like it can be a scene from a Hunger Games novel/movie broadway show.
ohmychickenballllls exactly what I was thinking :D
Harry Potter ... Fleur D'elacour and the other girls
it also has a cult-vibe to it. With the guy in the middle and all the women around him and their dresses look a bit religious...
Wow 😍 beautiful&amazing
it’s only as i’ve had to learn this dance for part of my gcse grade that i really took into appreciation how hard it is. they all make it look so flawless and easy, the strength they have is incredible, the whole thing is amazing
So crisp & professional. Absolutely love it. 👏🏾
My favorite parts were 1:51 - 2:06 and 2:36 💖💖
This was absolutely wonderful! The movement so precise and clean, yet there was passion in every step. Loved it.
Beautiful dancing. Was this shot in front of a green screen? There's something with the lighting that's messing with my mind.
Nope no green screen!
They most likely did all of these shots at different times of the day so most likely there is lighting variations. I could tell at some parts that they had to have lighting as it was towards the end of the day.

I clicked expecting a video..This dance memorized me..visually breath taking!
Former dancer here as well (jazz) Loved the entire piece... awesome choreo and cinematography!👏👏👏👏
❤️this choreography is amazing and the synchronized dancing is epic !!!
Dang, this is so cool! The costumes, the movements, everything was so beautiful!
that was brilliant!!!

One of the best choreographies if seen in a long time
I was almost crying at the end... #AbsoluteBeauty #Art
this is the best dance I´ve ever seen on youtube, the rythm, the moves and the locations -Just stunning.
I’ve watched this video about four times in a week. And I’m mesmerized every single time at the precision and perfect execution of every one of his dance moves. It’s done so perfect including the facial expressions that he must be an alien or a robot. He’s extraordinarily talented.

This is the best choreography video I’ve seen all year. Reminds me of when I used to picture myself dancing pointe to rap songs as I listened to them lol 😂
This is amazing
i loved this video 5 years ago and i love it now
Literally screamed out "I'm in love"
Não me canso de ver essa coreografía. Uma das mais incríveis que já. A sincronia, a interpretação...
The Amish been REAL QUIET since this dropped.
🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 omg this comment brought me to tears
Speak on it 🙌🏾 🤣
Girll wtf 😂😂😂
🤣🤣👍🏽💯
Completely breathtaking. So intense and still crisp in every movement 🎉🎉 🎉
That was a really cool handmaids tale inspired dance loved the uniformed fashion, dance was awesome.... amazing.😄😄👋👋👋
The creativity is just perfect.
That's one of my favorite Justin Timberlake songs. This was a very nice performance; and the guy is cute.
This perfectly reflects the situation at my dance classes when I was a kid: 37 girls and 1 boy. You'd have to cry a river to form a pair with him haha.
What the heckk...so beautifull!!
C'est juste magnifique !
Truly a masterpiece!! The music, the choreography and the person who edit this video did amazing job!!! the changes of the images combined with the music was sooo good!!
So beautiful! The execution was on point. Felt like I was watching a live production
4 years later I still comeback to watch it again, beautiful work of art
Okay. THIS video just made my whole week! Awesome!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Simply perfect mix of the dance, music and lyrics. Only true artist has skin thin enough to feel the song right, vision clear enough to see how exactly dancers should perform and the soul so pure to create such a brilliant canvas. Beautiful
This is one of the prettiest and smoothest dances I’ve ever seen!! I LOVE THIS!!
JAJAAAAJ
I kept seeing this in my recommendations and was like "why?" Finally watched it after a few days. Loved it
HONEY, WHERE'S MY SUPER SUIT
His clothes reminds me of Frozone from the Incredibles.
Honestly this is some amazing choreography though. I am amazed.
Around midway, the dancing starts to align with the song, that’s when it gets good😊
I've lost count of how many times I've watched this, but it never ceases to amaze.
Who the hell disliked this?! It's amazing!
Probably feminist who don't like the fact that a make was the lead
@@bouncyavi4528 👍🤣🤣🤣
