PERMISSION TO DANCE

DanceOn trend alert! BTS dropped their new single PERMISSION TO DANCE July 8th 2021, and we are unapologetically grooving to it. If you are looking for a good time, look no further than the official music video:

The choreography includes international sign language signaling ‘fun’, ‘dance’ and ‘peace’. Check out the especially smooth execution of Jungkook’s pencil turn around 2:14. The original choreography to the full track can be viewed here in BTS’s official rehearsal dance video:

Despite the strong connection to dance in the song lyrics and music video, no choreographer is listed in the music video’s credits. Full credits in screenshots below!

We searched online and could find the name of nearly every talent involved but no mention of the choreographer in any press story or posting. We’ve reached out to the creative team and hopefully will update this post soon with information on the choreographer(s) identity and work!

If you are looking for a way to learn the official PERMISSION TO DANCE choreography, there’s an excellent breakdown and tutorial created by YouTube dance influencers Ellen and Brian. Check it out here:
