Behind the dance…

Philip got us together on a Whatsapp group to create a dance for his Glitz and Glam event as we confirmed our attendance (roughly 2-3 weeks before his event) so we were throwing in some music suggestions. In the end, we chose the song Runaway by Sebastian Yatra & Daddy Yankee feat Jonas Brothers due to its catchiness. We provided some parts each and so a new dance was born, which we thought is FUN and FITTING to the lyrics. Hope you could feel our choreography too 🙂 Can anyone guess which part was choreographed by whom? 😀

About the song & phrasing…

The song is a mix of English and Spanish lyrics. It’s catchy and the song gets into your head. Part A is the verse while Part B is the chorus (runa-runa-runa-runa-runa-runaway). You will be able to know which part to dance from the song. Just in case you can’t, just remember these for the phrasing: AA-BB-AAAA-B-AAA-B-AA

1. 2-4-3-2 as the number of A’s in sequence
2. B’s always starts on 12:00 except the 2nd B which starts at 6:00.

For the ending, just run another 1/2R (4 counts) instead of the press slides to end on 12:00.

Videos of the dance

We taught the dance during Glitz and Glam 2019 but completely forgotten to video the dance teach/demo. So we did a little mock-up after the party. Here it is:
