It was thrilling to see dance return to the forefront for a BTS performance. Even better was seeing dance leader j-hope front & center initiating the Dance Break for the inaugural performance of Butter at the BBMA21. #JHOPE #TheDanceBreak #제이홉 @BTS_twt

The Dance Break choreo focuses on deep, sultry hip movements accented with bold hand gestures, alternating between sharp and sinuous. With his long arms wrapped around his body & expressive fingers spread across his torso, j-hope embodies smooth, sensual dancing. #JHOPE #제이홉

j-hope's emotive hands & fingers also give the dance needed flavor. The Butter Dance Break moves (small, isolated & tight to the body) feel similar in flavor to the choreo of Bob Fosse, which emphasizes precise isolations to syncopated beats. #JHOPE #제이홉

Given the dark stage and black costumes, it was advantageous for j-hope to have just dyed his hair butter blonde. And flashing a hint of flesh by wearing a thin tank top also made also made his movement more visible & prominent. #JHOPE #제이홉

With this dance break in the Butter stage and a standout freestyle solo in the Butter MV, the return of j-hope in the center position for BTS dance is truly welcomed. #JHOPE #제이홉
