I have been searching for amazing asian female dancers and i haven't found any. And i'm talking about someone who could go against American female dancers like Ciara, Janet jackson, J.Lo, Mila J, Beyonce, etc... I know people are going to say BoA but seriously I haven't seen anything by her that made me say wow. But if you can found something then post that. Thanks.

If you mean singer-dancers then I think BoA is definitely one of the best. Watch her Over the Top performance and that's a gauge of how well she can dance

http://youtube.com/watch?v=hOzVDi10QlI

To be honest..I think its gotta be BoA for one....others like Nami Tamaki...ermm...0______0...not really that great. she basically just repeats her dances AND her songs. But for others...I think some of the dancers who back up for BoA are incredible. I don't remember their names but they were introduced at some point of her Love and Honesty Tour...so yeah....Ppl say Bae Sul Gi is good at dancing....but right now I don't see her doing any thing...AMAZING....then there's Chae Yeon...Shes alright I guess...Also Hyori Lee...I haven't actually seen her dance yet...so....yeah. But another one is Ayumi from Sugar...her dances are alright too....but over all....I think its gotta be BoA. for most variety. I mean...take a look at her Spark performances...same with Moto and Girls On Top. theyre really crazy. *i like Sweet Impact too*

I think Stephanie from tszx is good
She's got skills in ballet and everything
and she could challenge those girls cuz she speaks really good english too

I agree with the others. Obviously, BoA isn't the greatest dancer in the universe, but she has shown some really good performances over the years in both Korea and Japan.

japanese dancer YOSHIE would totally whip anyone's butt in dance. looky see:

she's my hero!

BoA in my opinion is just an asian Britney Spears and Chaeyeon is not a dancer. I'm talking about female dancers who can bet these people.

I say BoA as my first choice since her dancing makes up for her singing.

Koda Kumi is my second choice.

Why does everyone say BoA? she isn't good at everything and dancing is one of them. SHE CAN'T FREESTYLE, her dancing is the exact as her background dancers. She does NOT STAND OUT. She can NOT compete against americans. Let's PLEASE be REALISTIC!

U;Nee was an original dancer. Her dancing can be put up against the best. Her flexibility really helps her in achieving uniqueness. She uses every part of her body, from her hair to her toe.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu-MZyvXbuo

for this one look at the semi-end of the performance to see her solo dance in it. WOW she is amazing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdLOzV78sYc

In this dance performance, she made the way for GOOD FEMALE DANCER's in XMan. She started the good dancing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcB4KUCm-Tw

she is the best dancer in the whol world.

oh MINA is very good dancer too. The 2nd best korean dancer.

Eventhough she is mixing with her background dancers, her dancing is far more superior which makes her stand out a lot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_M6-3iMPMM

oh and just to let you know. Beyonce can not dance

since Ash can't post yet:

I would recommend:

- BoA: Her moves are really powerful, and she doesn't stick to one type of dance. You can see her dancing the sexy dance, poewrful dance, cute dance, and they all fit her, and she makes all the moves hers. Plus, you should watch her doing her "Over The Top" perfomance or Moto. Everything is good, especiially her dance around the 4th & 5th album. and even her Sweet Impact dance.

- TSZX's Stephanie: She was a ballerina, so yes, she can dance well. I mean, she can atleast do ballet well, and she's really flexible causing her to do a lot of good dancing. You should check her out. Her song "What U Want" was all choreographed by her.

no one's mentioned Kil Gun yet.

but hmm,
in general it seems less is expected of the girls. That goes doubly in Japan. I mean, people refer to Koda Kumi as a great dancer. I love the girl and i can see that she's always smooth but... her choreography sucks. There's more of an emphasis on it in Korea, but even then. There's alot of Hyori-esque dancing, it fails to dazzle :\

If you think Beyonce can't dance then people don't even mention hyori lee or chaeyeon for that matter. And U;nee (R.I.P.) even though she can't go against any American dancers she has to be the best I have seen because she has to be the first asian female dancer i ever saw that put that much energy into performing.

How come u never have anything nice to say about Boa and Beyonce??

anyways
I would like to see an asian female that can go against these girls...not including Janet Jackson
no one is on her level so just don't include her.

I wonder why T-boz from TLC is never mentioned as a great female dancer
she was the best dancer in TLC, I love her moves.

But like I said I don't think I will ever see an asian girl that can compete against them because they are just natural born dancers
they hear music, they can just bump to it.

i'd like to add Jeon Hye Bin.

The only real excellent female dancer in Korea is GILGUN. She isn't that popular becuase she isn't a very good singer and doesn't have a pretty face, but she is an amazing dancer.... she also trained some big stars in dancing... like Hyori during her '10 minute days', and Chae Yeon when she danced to 'Two of Us'. I think she is even better than Beyonce.

yeah, I mean I love Boa too... but that doesn't make her the best dancer... I feel like a lot of people think she's the best just cause everyone knows her since she's been around so long and she's so popular and well-liked... I think Stephanie is a really good dancer but sometimes it just looks too unnatural... but I give her a lot of props for being good at a lot of different types of dance.. how many other dancers are so versatile? I also think KilGun is really good... she's also really flexible.. I feel like she's not given enough credit b/c not as many ppl know her, but I think she started out as a dancer which is why she's so good.. I think Bin, Boa, etc. are all good, but out of Korean dancer, Stephanie and KilGun are the best.

the clip of Yoshie (I think that's the name?) was pretty good too

Speaking of dancers..anyone see Lil Mama's "lipgloss" video??

stupid song, but that lil girl can dance so good

I'd like to see someone go up against her.

But like I said I don't think it can be done

if we were talking about the guys then it would be different
I just don't think the american females have fierce competetion outside of the united states.

but I give Yoshie major props she can dance mad good yo!

JOLIN TsAI is pretty good dancer imo anyways..

I'm starting to agree with LucasBunny I mean all the people ya'll are mentioning cannot go against american female dancers. And janet jackson I don't like her at all and i think all she did was copy of brother and Ciara is waaay better than her anyway.

I just saw a Elva Hsiao video "LoVe"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQHIXy5qb4Y

She is pretty good.

For the record, Janet didnt copy Micheal
they are related and that whole family is full of good dancers
and Janet and Micheal do different types of dancing so she didnt copy him, but they are the only two dancers I've seen that can be 100% in sync with each other a perfect example is the Scream video.
They are both just born dancers.
Honestly
I don't think Ciara can keep up with Janet Jackson
I would love to see her try to dance beside Janet, remember if it wasnt for Janet
there would be no Ciara, Ciara said so herself.

althought of i'm not too fond of her..but i'd have to say..

Chunmoo Stephanie..

she's really good..

Then if thats your opinion, what is the whole point of this thread now.

Personally I feel that BoA is still one of Asia's strong female singers that dance. People forget that her main job is to sing, not dance (but she does both well). But not many people can contend with the cream of the crop in America. At least none I can think of.
For me Beyonce's choreography isn't that impressive, but her execution is always on point and she's bustling with energy.

...and

I think you've just lost any sense of credibility you've ever had

Are you kidding me??? Janet's whole career was copying her brother. His sound, his dancing everything. I am absolutey postive Ciara would take Janet down if they has a dance off. One reason is because Janet is still stuck on 90's dancing, another reason, she is getting old. She is more concerned with showing off her body then making decent music.




what does that mean?

Ciara's a good dancer, but you're obviously underestimating Janet.
I think you might be underexposed to Janet and overexposed to Ciara if you truly think Ciara is way better.

I'm not talking about Janet from twenty years ago. I'm talking about 2007 janet jackson This one right here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbEj43wJV0g

I'm sorry Janet sucks against Ciara. She needs to go and sit her old self down somewhere..

Janet Jackson is Janet Jackson.
It doesn't matter what time period it is, you act as though she still can't perform those dances (when she still does on tours, performances of classics).

I guess in 5 years Ciara won't be able to dance if she starts doing simpler dance steps :roll: ?

Um no she didnt Janet is more sexual with her music and dancing then Micheal.
Second, Janet is only 40, she takes great care of herself thats why she's still good.
Janet can sing live and dance at the same time , something Ciara cannot do.




Thank u



what in the???

Janet is not that old she's only 40 like I said.

Do u have any idea what good shape she is in???

she is in better shape than half of these young female dancers
out here right now.

Janet is still a beyond fantastic dancer
remember Janet is Ciara's idol

Looking at the question by itself...the answer is yes. Too many
But seeing that it's in the other music section and examples given I'm guessing this is only referring to a very small category of dancing. If that's the case then 'not really'. I think it's more of problem with body build than anything. For instance, looking at boa. No matter how good she gets, because of her body build, she still wouldn't be able to give the same effect as the listed comparisions.

Janet Jackson, Ciara, etc are very good in their particular styles, but these kinds of dancings are made for them. Just as there are famous European ballerinas, there are also world-renown asian female dancers. Can you imagine Janet doing any of the dances below?

(If you do decide to watch these, have some patience, the dances take awhile to pick up)

^I think that's why the OP said
girls who can go up against Ciara, Beyonce etc.

I think in terms of hip hop is what the OP meant

She hasn't debuted but I think Lee Min Young from JYP is a really good dancer. Even Lil' John said so. I think it was him. Lee Min Young can do stuff that Beyonce & Janet Jackson can't do like popping and stuff but she can do that & waves and stuff and she's only 15 years old. Plus Lil' John said that he never saw a asian girl dance that well.

Cheon Mu Stephanie from The Grace

^I heard Min is good
I am dying to see her dance cuz I hear she's good.
I have high expectations for her

People can call me biased I don't care
no mainstream female artist can compete with Janet Jackson at this point, I dont care how much poppin or lockin
they can do, it's just not possible this goes for Boa, Ciara, Mya, Min etc



Okie I have to shut up cuz I'm not on topic anymore I
made another thread so I will bump it instead.

To talk about dancers in general everyone post here
http://www.soompi.com/forums/index.php?sho...t=0&start=0

Ciara would be 26 why would she start doing simpler dance steps?

Maybe i'm not explaining myself well. To my generation Janet Jackson is an has-been, Yeah she was the big thing in her time but now Ciara is the big thing. Janet Jackson cannot do anything that Ciara has done (she would probably break her hip bone in the process) Janet Jackson is too old and needs to retire. I also believe Madonna needs to retire. there should be an age limit where old people should stop. And those woman are at that age limit.

That's very a close minded thing to say.



But you can think what you want, everyone is entitled to there own opinions
besides I linked you to another thread where this can be discussed.

Please do not bring up janet jacskon none there vocal skills. Please someone show me janet Jackson "beyond fantastic" dancing skills cause i haven't seen it.

And i shall say this one last time:
Ciara is the best now, Janet was the best then.




Maybe not Beyonce But I saw some clips of this gurl. and i sorry to say that Janet Jackson would knock this gurl out. Not to mention Ciara. But.... she is very good for an Asian girl.

I agree with the Janet thing. Janet is a *HAS-Been* I don't know what generation some people are living in, but in this generation, Janet is nothing. There's too many singers that not only can dance as good as her, but better. I do thin Ciara can dance better than Janet, but I don't think Ciara is the best dancer.

She dances exactly how her background dancers dance. I saw the *Goodies* video and She didn't stnad out compared to her background dancers. Ciara isn't that great anymore at all, We are all over her. She is one of those one hit wonder. Her 1st album excellent, second one um..boing the exact same as first.

I don't think American female dancers are good. No one is original here in america, they all copy eachother, no one tries to be daring, if someone does something new, 20 thousand more people can do it.

I do believe asians can dance better. Asia is more going out and getting new dance moves. Just like Shim MIna, I think she is an excellent dancer, because unlike most americna dancers, she can bellydance.

OH AND LETS KEEP IN MIND! I rarely EVER SEE ANY AMERICAN FEMALE ARTIST dance with HIGH HEELS! Put some 5 inch heels on Ciara and lets see if she can still dance.

Asian artists like U;Nee, Mina, Bin have all mastered dancing in heels. They can do what Ciara does, but BETTA!

OH and for "LucasBunny" Janet doesn't have the best body *LAUGHS OUT LOUD* umm wasn't like a couple of months ago she was OBESE?!? hahah and now she still is thick.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrWbPLgCY0o...ted&search=


that girl min

o_O
WOAHHH !!

agree totally with stephanie,
but i'm not a fan of boa's dance moves.

^FYI she got Obese to play a role in a movie!

she lost that weight in no time and she is not thick I dun
what ur talking about.

and no Shim Mina cannot Bellydance!
She does more booty poppin, Shakira can Bellydance,
Aaliyah can bellydance but Mina cannot.

and what are u talking about in america everyone copies each other
everyone copies everyone in every country!

I'm not even going to talk to u Leo because you are kind of rude
with your posts and it's annoying

*throws up in the mouth* AALIYA COULD BELLYDANCE hahahahahhhahahahhaaahahahahahaaha

that's a freaking joke! If you think Mina can't bellydance, but Aaliyah could, then wow. You need to see Mina bellydance, she does booty shake and bellydance. Aaliyah just moves her body she can't move just her hips. HAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHA

your a funny joker

boa dances really well but she doesn't seem to have her own style, she's been trained to hit every move since she was young but i don't see her own unique dance style
stephanie dance really well too but when i watch her, i just don't see something unique to bring to the tables

U don't have to be so rude u know
I'm trying to have a civilized discussion but you always come at me
so rude
but I remember someone else mentioning that she can do
some of the key movements of bellydancing which is true
but she is not controlled, she's just moving her hips and stuff and
there is so much more to Bellydancing then moving your hips all over the place
which is what Mina does.

Try youtubing it and you will see what I mean.

you are very emotional arn't you? You can't handle people joking around? you thank everything so SERIOUSLY to be honest, I don't even remember you, I treat everyone the same haha just the things you say make me respond the way i do

so you agree Mina can bellydance, she just doens't do it as INTENSE as a professional belly dancers. Can those professional beyyldancers dance to hip hop? jump around pop and lock..nope. Can they learn pop and hip hop dances and dance with high heels, nope. Mina is way better esspecially in versitility than any other professional bellydancer and it's not like she had 20 years to practice. She learned it within a year.

Aaliyah >>>> Mina on all levels.


Oh and you too have lost any sense of credibility that you ever possessed.
I think someone just has yellow fever :|


U;Nee, Mina, and Bin are all WORSE than their background dancers. Ciara >>>> them in technical prowess AND energy and stage presence.



Nice way to generalize, and show your symptoms D:
Where do you think popular Asian acts get their dances from?
Not only do they borrow moves from Westerners but they borrow them from each other too :X
Half of the dances I see there were in a America years before.
Asia is going out and getting new dances moves from other places, such as America.
and FYI who says most American's can bellydance? Who says most Asians can bellydance?
Bellydancing didn't even originate from Asia :/





Just because your underexposed to American female artists, doesn't mean they don't dance in high heels.

Your extreme generalizations show an extreme sense of ignorance :/
I'm not trying to put down female Asian singer-dancers, but America has a much higher population of than places such as Korea. As a result they have more singer-dancers, and note how some Korean music draws inspiration from America...usually not the other way around.

I seriously want to know what you've been smoking to put artists like U;Nee, Mina, and Bin on some high pedestal.
They really aren't that good in the big picture.

WOAH YOSHIE IS FREAKIN AWESOME
hyori dancing is mediocre
jolin's um...bad

why exactly did you make this thread.
When we give you good female dancers you just hate on them? your not open-minded and you give no reason why you think they arn't good dancers.

If you think U;nee doesn't dance with energy then you need glasses.

iYou say that a lot of american dancers dance with high heels, please name them... you say things and yet you give no proof.

Your completely closed minded to asian dancers and you won't give them a chance, no matter how good they are you still won't like them. I don't even understand why you made this thread, OBVIOUSLY you don't like asian dancers....GET OVER IT!

I live in America and I used to watch all the performances and music videos, it's all so boring now! Ciara's dancing is all the same! every performance she does the same moves. I don't understand why you put her on such a high pedestal, we (americans) are over the CIARA PHASE...come on now...

It's so sad how hypocritical you are. You say I'm ignorant and yet you won't give asian dancers the time of day. Your completely biased against asian singers. You think Aaliyah is a better dancer than U;Nee, don't make me laugh! Aaliyah danced like every other person in AMERICA no ORIGINALITY no different. U;Nee is very original her ability to use her flexibility and double jointedness really puts her HIGH on the *good dancer* list.
