Hello everybody, welcome to this new video
Today I'm here with my friend Batinna
And we're here to talk about
How to dance with your favorite k-pop idol!
That was a bit too much...
-No -No..It was...
I hate you!
Just kidding!
So if you want to become a dancer in Korea for your favorite idols
What you need to know is...
...You need to be a dancer! So...
Go to dance classes, even if you're not in Korea
Before you come to Korea just go to some dance 학원
To some dance academy
And start learning how to dance like the basics
Just keep it mind that Korean style is a bit different
I feel like in Italy it's more about your own style
And in America as well probably, right?
Yeah in America is about your own style, your own feeling
Yeah but in Korea it's more about...You all need to look the exact same
Like same lines, same positions, same facial expressions
So I feel like...I learned a lot in Korea..About Korean style
But if you wanna learn like technique and stuff Korea is the best place to go
You can go to like Def Dance, Rainbow Bridge, 1Million...Right?
There are a lot of like very famous academies now
There's no age limit if you want to be a dancer like
In my team someone was like 30 years old someone was even 40
So don't worry about that
Just come here and focus on your technique and everything
Because it's much easier if you know how it works first
So you know if you like it or not
So step 1 was..You know, how to train and everything
And step 2 is the actual audition
You did a lot of auditions so she's gonna tell you
How to audition like a pro
Okay so basically auditioning you can find like
Auditions for certain companies on facebook, on their official website page
You can just look it up and like what you need to prepare
Like just prepare a one minute or one minute and a half dance piece
And...That's it!
That's pretty much it that's really simple
Just you go to the audition, you dance and..You know if you pass you pass
Also, don't worry if your audition is not perfect because
Anyway the first step of being a dancer is being a trainee
So they will train you so just do whatever you want whatever you feel comfortable with
And do your best, that's my advice
Have fun and do your best
So Marco and I both have different experiences with the auditioning process
So for me when I auditioned I found the ad on Facebook
And then I went to the audition and
They told us to prepare like a one minute, one minute and a half dance piece
So I was like "I'm ready to go I have my dance piece ready!"
And I get there, and they gave us another piece
They were like "No we don't want you to dance whatever you prepared"
"We're going to give you something"
And so we had to learn it within like 5 minutes
And then we had to perform it on stage
And then they chose the ones who followed the choreography really well
And then we went from level 1 level 2 and level 3
And then if you pass the third round, you made it
What about you, Marco?
Well what happened to me is basically
My friend introduced me to the team and they were just like "show me something"
And I danced for about 30 seconds and they were like
"Ok we can work on it, we can work on your skills"
"We will teach you" so...Yeah...
It's much much easier if you know a couple of dancers they can definitely help you
And another good thing to know is
Who to audition for
So each company has you know
There's like a company and than there's the dance team name
If you don't wanna be an idol then don't audition for the company
You wanna audition for the dance team
So a lot of you guys know who the dance teams are we don't have to go into details
But look up those specific dance teams
And find out when they have auditions and there you go!
So, after you pass your audition
You become a dancer, congratulations!
Now that you're a dancer you have to know that
Your life might be a bit different from what you're thinking
I feel like it's more like...
You're working for a company in Korea
Like with your working hours you know
For example my team, the Ailee and YMC's back up dancer team
Was like from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. everyday
Plus the other schedules so for example
If you have M!Countdown in the morning you go to M!Countdown, you do your show
You do whatever you have to do
And then after you go back to your dance practice room
I wasn't dancing with idols at the beginning but still I had to go there and I was just there
For like hours and hours like...
It's like you have to build the trust with the company like
You have to...When you go there they have to see that you're dedicated
And so the fact that you're going there from like...You said from 3 to 10
So Marco went there from 3 to 10 everyday you know and that showed
He was dedicated and he really wanted to do it
Whether he was doing nothing for those hours or he was doing something for those hours
They will train you but a lot of the times it's like...
Yeah...You just need to be there
You know you have to be patient and you have to practice your dancing
-And wait... -Train...
And another thing is
Just like a company you have like levels so
When you first start you're the lowest level possible, you're just a regular dancer
Well, a trainee and then a dancer
And then you become a choreographer or like 팀장님
How do you say it? 팀장님 is like the manager of the company
There are different levels so you have to respect
Like someone that is a higher level than yours
Very Korean style, so it's not like you are all friends like
-Yeah, it's more like... -I'm coming in
안녕하세요 (Hello) and 회식
You always have to go to the 회식 you know
-Which are? -Company dinners!
-And they last all night -Yeah you have to drink and eveything
Fun times! Those are actually pretty fun times
Yeah if you can drink alcohol...But me
I'm like...After a shot of soju I'm like
"WOOWOOOO!!! Tell me about your sex life!"
Also about payment
So you are at the company...And you're waiting, you're training...
And there's no pay...
So don't think like "Omg I'm going to make a lot of money as a back up dancer"
"Because I'm dancing with these huge idols"
Think about like a very very low pay. Think about it.
Now divide it in half, and that's the pay!
It's actually really really low pay so
So when you're going to these companies and you're going to audition make sure
Like make sure money it's not what's on your mind
Actually go for more the experience and having fun
To have an idea, I'm not going to mention anyone but
There was this Korean choreographer and this American choreographer
They were choreographing for the same artist, Korean artist
And the American one took 10 million won for 1 choreography
And the Korean one took 3 million won
-What?! -Yeah...
I did not know that
So you can imagine how low the pay is in Korea
If you work in Korea compared to other countries
It's about a third of the pay, not even
Remember guys, it's about good experience and living your dream!
So what are the pros and cons of being a dancer, Batinna?
GOOD EXPERIENCE!
A lot, and you can meet your idols you know, your favorite idols
For example if I have to be honest I joined Ailee's team like dancer team
Because I like Ailee
Ailee if you're watching this video..No it's not true
I'm not a huge fan of yours
You can dance on some really really huge stages
You know with like lightings and fireworks
-So nice! -And you can dance very often you know
I feel like in Korea they perform a lot
A lot more than in like America or Italy
Yeah so you have the chance of practicing and do performances
-A lot of times -Quite often
Quite often?
Why do you have this British accent?
-Have you watched Harry Potter recently? -I did
Oh! Maybe that's why...
You build your CV
Definitely if you wanna teach dance it's really good to dance for big singers
You can become a choreographer with all the history and background that you guys have
Like "Yeah, I danced for Hyuna" "Yeah I danced for Ailee" you can write it on your CV and...
You can easily get teaching jobs because you have more experience than other people
And for international people that looks really good on your resume
"I choreographed for Korean idol" and k-pop is so huge right now
Done
-Ok next one... -The cons!
Oh no! There's going on tour!
Going on tour!
That's the best part
Like you go to China, Malaysia, Japan, America, Europe
K-pop is so huge now that you can really go everywhere
They pay for your airplane ticket, for your hotel and if the trip is long
Like if you go to America or Europe
You usually have one or two days off so you can actually visit the cities
It's really...It's really nice
And the best part is you get to bond with your favorite idol
And you can try to seduce them you know
I've heard a lot of really really naughty stories
Between idols and dancers
-Naughty stories... -Very naughty!
Talking about the cons tho
Here we go! The cons
As we mentioned before...
Oh it's...It's really tiring...It's really really stressful
When I was a dancer I posted a picture on Instagram
of me at the hospital with those...How do you call it?
The IV?
Yeah yeah with the IV like
"Injections, please!"
And my friend recently joined the same team, the Ailee's back dancer team
And two days ago she posted a picture of her at the hospital
I was like "Yeah girl!"
It's extremely exhausting, it's really tiring so
You really need to be motivated and strong enough
What else? Pay? Of course!
We already mentioned the pay but again, it goes back to if you want the experience
The pay is not really that important
Well, you can not survive with that though
So keep in mind that if you want to be a dancer you need to save some money before
And then...It's an investment because for the first months you probably won't
Get enough money to survive so
The thing is once you're in the company...You're IN the company so
You're not allowed to work any other jobs, ok?
mind you that there are some companies that are understanding so you can say like
"You know I'm sorry but, you're not..."
-"I'm broke!" -"I'm broke!"
"I've got bills I've got to pay I got a house I've gotta live in"
Some of them are gonna be understanding about that but
Other companies will not and the thing is
Because most of the dancers are young and they live at home with their parents
So they don't have to work like part-time jobs
And they don't have to do anything else because this IS their part-time job
This is their life so that's why the company rules are like... straight forward
So...That's all! If you have anything to ask guys
