    68 years old. Former professional Ballroom/ Latin dancer. I don’t watch much dancing anymore. For me it’s either more of the same or beyond weird. This has to be the most creative, entertaining, technically difficult, diverse choreography I’ve seen in years. Absolutely Phenomenal !! ❤Awesome job to all 👏🏼

    This is a literal masterpiece. The intensity of each dancer, the synchronicity and clean, sharp lines in movement but with the flawless execution in the flow of “chaotic” and extremely hard choreography. They absolutely killed this. I can’t stop watching, I mean it’s just SO captivating. Even the color scheme and outfits are perfect. The cinematographer has a beautiful way of shooting and telling this story. This entire piece is EXACTLY how this songs FEELS. Frustrating, prideful, bittersweet. I’m obsessed, and this has brought my love and hope of actual dance back, it’s been awhile so thank you CDK. This deserves ALL the praise and recognition.

    NOW THIS... THIS IS ART.
    I've seen so many dance choreographies throughout my life but this is the first time I've seen a dance that makes you think it's ART.
    Dancing is an expression, it's an art.
    This is the type of dance that doesn't make you focus on one person only because everyone-- in their own individuality makes them whole. Everyone is just so amazing! Dancing isn't only about flashy and snappy moves; it isn't only about people doing backflips or popping your joints. It's about the expression through the movement of your body with or without the accompaniment of music, but this... THIS IS ART ACCOMPANIED BY MUSIC. The synchronization of different movements to ONE song is just so mezmerizing to watch. It's like watching an art piece come to life.

    I'm 70. This song has always ruptured my soul in connection with a long relationship with someone I was deeply in love with in the 80s, as a young woman. The choreography here is just mind and heart- blowing. Excellent. Moved me to tears, the music and the dance by these fantastic young dancers and which expresses the song so well. I'm sharing it now with that man, who's now 84! Because emotional experiences just don't recognize time. Maybe now he'll get it.

      I think you should know that your comment is the reason that I watched this video - and I am so glad that I did! In fact, I’m just pausing to write this before watching it again!
      When I saw the listing, including the pop music title, I thought “Oh no! Not another RUclips/TikTok dance challenge.“ Hip hop, Celtic, even ballroom are all fabulous, but also not really my “bag.” I have a background myself in modern dance and ballet. (although I’m 63 now and it’s some years since I’ve worked at the barre). I’m also a lifelong fan of Broadway musicals, especially when fabulous dance numbers are part of the show! Needless to say, then, that this was perfect! I loved every second of this fantastic creation and performance. But … I would have scrolled past and never would’ve seen it at all without your recommendation. So thank you, from the bottom of this old dancer’s heart!

    Former professional dancer here; RESPECT!! This makes me so happy! It's so original, creative, and technically perfect I had to watch it over and over again with a big grin on my face. I don't know what country this is from but I love it! No same old boring stuff putting me to sleep cause it's been done at nauseum, but finally a new fresh generation injecting a stirring song of heartache with hope and commitment. YESSSS! Gimme more!

I told him that you are real artists, that you have learned to cooperate very well, persevere, and practice together. I could say it all with words, but you actually showed it through this dance. I had tears in my eyes. Thank you for your beautiful gift.

    Phenomenal.
    The choreography. I haven't saved a choreography video in ages... It's so deceptively simple, so technical. Each movement marries the lyrics. A visual delight. I'm just... Dumbfounded.
    The art direction. The costumes - so individualized and yet, so homogeneous with the central theme. The color palette, textures, the fabrics, the accessories. Even the tattoos belong. The bell bottoms, the shine on the shoes.
    The editing. The camera moving with the dancers. Some of the best zoom work I've noted. Not one frame out of place. Not one breathe out of place.
    I wish we got to see the making of this beauty. I wish we got to hear the raw dance, I expect goosebumps with the feet taps on the wooden floor. The sound of the jumps, the occasional grunt.
    This team deserves to be flown in to perform at the Grammys or Academy Awards or something. Calling this a masterpiece is not enough.
    What have you all done? 💔

Hopefully you learn to uplift others instead of putting them down it makes for a much more fulfilled life. As the quote goes by Robert Ingersoll “We rise by lifting others”.
