#JIMIN @BTS_twt

@BTS_twt

From the top of the song, it looks like #JIMIN appears out of nowhere, ready to bring on the death to all of us. His mastery over so many styles of dance is evident here as he combines all the elements, completely making this his own. @BTS_twt

@BTS_twt

The choreo during the chorus is bold and powerful & not one second of the music is put to waste. Every count is utilized with authority & precision, matching the intensity of the song perfectly. When #JIMIN takes the front, he doesn’t let us breathe for one second. @BTS_twt

@BTS_twt

To produce this level of intensity is not always an easy task. While on set it can feel awkward if the music isn’t loud enough or you catch a glimpse of a bored crew member. When the music ends, the drone is so loud & positions are held until they yell CUT! PROS! #JIMIN @BTS_twt

@BTS_twt

The next part of the choreo should be mentioned because it’s just cool. During Yoongi’s rap, all the members line up behind the drum line, and take over as if they are now the drummers. It produces a great visual and just added a great element to the performance. @BTS_twt

@BTS_twt

Then, in comes #JIMIN one more time and he’s not here to play. He’s confident that he’s not taking any prisoners and he delivers. He has a knack of creating intensity in just his eyes and facial expression and he is going full force here. @BTS_twt

@BTS_twt

Here #JIMIN just shows up right behind Jungkook to sing his part and poof, he’s gone again. But wait… reminiscent of NO and Bulletproof Pt. 2, here he comes and you know it’s about to get serious. @BTS_twt

@BTS_twt

#JIMIN easily delivers exactly the intensity needed for this segment, from each stomp, clap, and look into the camera, he destroyed this part. The arms alone are incredible beyond all reason. He alternates his arms and the power for speed comes from his center @BTS_twt

@BTS_twt

The next segment kept reminding me of Dionysus, as it does seem similar. #JIMIN @BTS_twt

@BTS_twt

#JIMIN seriously made the decision to annihilate everyone during this film. Look at how far he arches his back! Then… then, he’s front and center with choreo that looks like FIRE and DIMPLE had a love child…and his mission is complete… @BTS_twt

@BTS_twt

#JIMIN knows his power and talent and it shows in this film! His intensity is perfect, the execution of the movements is spot on and he owned every single second of this performance. I’m going to go cry now. @BTS_twt

[Jimin Black Swan BB Solo Dance Analysis Thread]

Jimin served us a veritable feast of choreography once again in the Black Swan Behind the Scenes Bangtan Bomb. Let’s take a closer look at some of the new moves and sequences we weren’t able to see before.

#JIMIN #지민 @BTS_twt

Having been blessed with multiple versions of Jimin’s solo dance now, it’s clear that he choreographed and perfected a few staple sequences and then freestyled to fill in some of the transitions. #JIMIN

First, let’s take a look at this iconic sequence and how well it can be adapted for the different musical versions of Black Swan. You can see from the ON:E sequence that Jimin draws it out to fit the slower music, using twice as much time for the same move in the beginning.

[Dance Analysis Thread - Black Swan Duet MMA 2020]

This exquisite performance by Jimin and Jungkook was breathtaking. It required trust, strength, grace and above all teamwork. Let’s take a look at how all those elements combined to make art.
#JIMIN #Jungkook #BlackSwan @BTS_twt

First of all, what an insane entrance! The cascade of falling dancers is so perfectly timed, not one off beat or out of place. The dancers settle into the misty waters...and then Jimin turns around with dramatic flair to start his dance. #JIMIN

With both his arms and legs held by other dancers, Jimin swoops forward to take flight. As the dancers let go of his legs, he arches his back and uses his core muscles to bring his legs up and under him. It takes tremendous strength and control. #JIMIN

[Dance Analysis Thread - Black Swan ON:E]

Incorporating both brand new moves and old favourites, Jimin choreographed a stirring solo number for the ON:E concert. Let’s take a closer look at Jimin’s interpretation of Black Swan.
#JIMIN #지민 @BTS_twt

#JIMIN starts this piece by immediately sinking to the ground. Modern dance, and by extension contemporary, is characterized by its use of gravity. Ballet strives to lift up as much as possible, but modern plays with gravity, giving into it one minute & bouncing back up the next.

Here again you can see Jimin use gravity to his advantage, letting it push him down before he curls up under its weight. In this way, gravity becomes a character in the dance, an oppressive force Jimin is constantly fighting. #JIMIN

[Dance Analysis Thread]

Oooooh a grand jeté?? 👀👀
#JIMIN #지민 @BTS_twt

In ballet, there are several types of jumps. Probably the most basic is the temps levé, which is a jump from one foot that lands on the same foot while the other leg is raised in the air - typically in arabesque.

It’s really difficult to see Jimin’s full jump here, but instead of keeping his front leg under him, it looks as if he throws it to the front. When you jump off your back leg, throwing your front leg to the front, that’s known as a grand jeté. #JIMIN

[Filter Dance Analysis Thread]

Whew. It’s time to talk about Filter, an electrifying solo number that Jimin brings alive through charisma, fancy footwork and a flurry of costume changes. Let’s break it down.
#JIMIN #지민 @BTS_twt

One thing to note right off the bat is how Jimin changes his performance ever so slightly from one night to the other. By emphasizing different moves, switching speeds and changing facial expressions, he’s able to show a different side of himself, or filter, each show. #JIMIN

We can see this even from the very first moves. Notice how his delivery on the first night was sharp and quick, punctuating the notes of the song. On the second night, however, his delivery is slow, deliberate, tantalizing. He’s easing the audience in and teasing what’s to come.

[Black Swan Jimin Solo Dance Analysis]

So. Jimin did THAT. And we HAVE to talk about it. Let’s dive into the incredible solo dancing Jimin displayed in the Black Swan MV and how beautifully he pulled it off.
#JIMIN #BlackSwanMV @BTS_twt

Let’s start this solo dance with #JIMIN flying through the air like the graceful swan he is. I will never get over how high he can jump and how, by kicking back his legs and keeping his upper body calm, he can make it look like he’s suspended in the air while he’s up there.

#JIMIN hits this beat with a jerking motion, as if suspended by puppet strings. Then he raises his arms, creating a moment of stillness and suspension before sweeping into a beautifully controlled fan kick. Winding up the leg gives him the momentum needed going into the kick.
