[MV] 마마무(MAMAMOO) – HIP

MAMAMOO’s “HIP” became the signature track of their 2019 album “reality in BLACK.” The choreography centers on girls’ hip-hop, highlighting hip-hop elements and the alluring sophistication of adult women.

It’s designed with powerful, confident women in mind, so be mindful of the shape of each movement, as a feminine silhouette is crucial.

The smoothness of your body lines connects to a feminine fluidity, so it may help to practice in front of a mirror and check repeatedly.

NewJeans (뉴진스) ‘OMG’ Dance Practice

We’ve already featured NewJeans’ song “Ditto,” but “OMG,” which was released at the start of 2023 and sent shockwaves through the music scene, is another track we’d love to see you try dancing to at events like school festivals! Its sound is highly cutting-edge, blending trap with elements of UK dance music like UK garage and 2-step, and its thought-provoking music video sparked a wave of analysis and discussion—making it a breakout hit that spread their name far beyond K-pop fans.

The choreography leans heavily into hip-hop and can be tough for beginners, but there are detailed, part-by-part breakdown videos by professionals on YouTube, so be sure to check them out.

Rather than trying to master everything at once, get your body used to it by practicing in sections—like the chorus or the first verse—bit by bit!
