   I was in a shitty mood because someone was a bitch in the family group chat again (same person as at Xmas). So I've muted the family chat for a week, but kept stewing over it because ugh my brain.

   ANYWAY I remembered that there is a guaranteed cure for me being in a shitty mood, and it is watching skz content especially their relay dances.

     I'm really curious about the process behind creating relay dances, how much is choreographed vs improvised, how many takes they tend to do before getting to a version they're happy with, stuff like that.

     Would be neat to see a relay dance making-of film.

     When kiddo first showed me kpop relay dances (about 5 years ago?) they seemed a lot simpler & less compelling than they are now.

     Kiddo says it's like any other art form, it matures over time.

     @JillsJoy ooh that's a good one I haven't seen before, thanks! I like how sharp it feels.

     Also Silver-Pajamas-Mullet has a very appealing vibe.

     More recent skz relay dances often have that extra footage at the end, too. That's part of what drives my curiosity & makes me wonder how much of it is improvised.

     If it was really tightly choreographed, there wouldn't be so much variation between takes, right? So I think a lot of it must be improv with the original choreo as the base.

     EXO did the dance relay for "Cream Soda" last year. At the 3min mark, they have out takes added. Definitely took practice to get one good uncut shot!

     @JillsJoy there's a bit in Case 143 relay where Seungmin performs his part, goes to the back of the line, then runs back & jumps in front of the others again.

     I cannot tell from the reactions of the others whether they were expecting this or it was a surprise to them.

     Skz have a tendency to share braincells, sync up very quickly & riff off each other's moves when dancing, so I'm willing to believe that some bits might be genuinely improvised.

     I still wanna knooooow

     I honestly hated that mullet and silver suit at first, but it is growing on me. 😅

     Xiumin recently moved off of the main SM Ent management group to his and Baekhyun's INB100 management group, so I am excited to see his true personality.

     Like this from his birthday fan meet a couple weeks ago... I think you will appreciate it at the 1 minute mark...
