Effortless dancing requires solid technique. While j-hope embodies the sensuality and exuberance of disco dancing in Dynamite, it’s his exemplary dance technique that gives his movement the airiness & elegance emblematic of dance moves of that era #제이홉 #jhope

In order to execute the fan kick at the proper speed & height, a dancer’s standing leg & side need to be strong, aligned & straight. j-hope demonstrates all of that, as well as keeping his working leg straight & rotating it well above 90 deg #제이홉 #jhope

In the front attitude kick, j-hope explodes with great speed & height. He flicks his leg out into parallel side attitude before rotating & kicking up to a 90 deg front attitude, keeping the knee, calf & foot parallel, with his chest & shoulders even & upright #제이홉 #jhope
Because of disco music’s emphasis on fast, non-stop beats (“four on the floor”) meant to drive continuous movement, j-hope keeps his weight forward on his toes to make quick shifts & transitions between phrases, adding grace & giving his dancing a soft-shoe ballroom elegance
j-hope’s pure classical body alignment (keeping shoulders & chest in same plane over hips) gives him greater stability while lengthening his line. Crossing his legs at his pelvis keeps his weight on his front leg so he’s balanced while fully extending his arm #제이홉 #jhope
