BEST DANCE VIDEO 2024

1. MOTION FLOWER

It’s a poetic short film, a reminder of the fact that our souls are bodies connected to the Nature, as a Whole.
Climate change is more than an emergency. It’s a responsibility that we all have, as the respect, freedom and love that we must remind to give to each others,  everywhere.

3. STEEL SISTERS : Breaking Barriers in the 90s Men's World"

Description/ Story Of The Video: The 1990s era – greater strides in women’s participation in labor-intensive and traditionally male-dominated careers. This era marked a continued breaking of barriers, with women taking on roles in industries like manufacturing and construction, driven by economic necessity, shifts in gender expectations, and advancing equality movements. The title captures the industrial theme (“Steel”), the solidarity and empowerment of women (“Sisters”), and the historical moment of the 1990s as they claimed their place in labor and leadership roles. It merges the themes of strength, progress, and the celebratory tone of pop dance.

6. RICCO

Ricco was created from inspiration of the energy and intensity found in Muay Thai, with the goal of infusing its powerful movement and rich culture into dance. I wanted to bring a fun and playful vibe to this video.
Filming in an old Thai boxing club filled with history and vibrant atmosphere allowed me to fully immerse in the space and bring out the dynamic energy of the dancers. I aimed to highlight their unique strengths, letting them take center stage and showcase their talent.
Working on this project has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I’m excited to share this side of me. Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoy it!

7. DANCE UNITES, HATE DIVIDES

The film is about how dependent people have become on their phones. It’s a journey through time, from the 80s to today. In the 80s, people had fun, whereas now they just sit on their phones, becoming unsocial and overtired. With this dance, my girls want to bring us back to a time when people spent less time on their phones and instead valued friendship, joy, and music more.

9. THE JOY AND SORROW OF TIME

The future is a delicate dance of possibilities, where every choice and every moment shapes the path ahead.  The fragility of what’s next reminds us to handle it with care, to nurture our dreams and aspirations, and to believe in the limitless potential of tomorrow. Time is a valuable currency.

12. DETESTED

DETESTED is a film, shedding light on gender-based violence and the normalization process. Violence against women is present in every society around the world and takes many forms. Globally, one in three women is subjected to physical or sexual violence by a man at some point in her life.
The film takes viewers through the three phases of the normalization process: boundaries are shifted and erased, women are isolated, and the cycle between violence and affection becomes routine. These elements are crucial to understanding how violence is normalized and self-esteem and identity are gradually eroded. DETESTED immerses you in these three stages, illustrating how the abnormal becomes normalized.

The film was a zero-budget project, produced in the spring of 2024.

3. Do You See Me?

This piece is a reflection about those artists who often feel misunderstood. Often overshadowed by the multiple distractions of our current new digital world, trapping them between what is popular or what is in their heart. A constant fight to be seen, to be heard and to have a recognizable space in this world.

6. PROJECT 6IX – ECHOES

The story behind this film is our strength to overcome any obstacle towards our goal or dream we set our mind to. As a human being we are often being told what or what not to do. We are daily dealing with insecurities and validation in our lives, being fed different negative words whether it is on the internet or in real life. Everything is stored in our heads. So many different voices that try to mislead you. We can hear the echoes of everything we’re being told. You soon want to find inner peace and just listen to your own voice. You want to take action and walk the path of dare. You choose who you want to be and what you want to become. The choice will always be yours, let no one distract you away from your dream or goal.

7. SEATED SYMPHONY

“This choreography explores the art of movement within limitations. Using a chair as both a prop and a boundary, the dancer embraces the challenge of restricted space while maintaining an intimate, heightened connection to the music. Witness the interplay of stillness and flow, where creativity thrives in constraint.”

Choreography & Dancer: Elin Karabuda

8. STEP BY STEP

The theme of the video is the need to belong to a group, to create a common identity and recompose the world. The core of street-dance is its social aspect, Hip-hop does not exist without close relationships of the people who create. One body of a group of friends who, despite their multiple points of view, are able to walk the journey of their experiences, moving STEP… by STEP.
What is a core of our identity? How much we can still be together? How the group influences the life of each of us? How our common energy can manifest itself in movement? Or it’s time to just move on and split? Everything does matter here…. every STEP.
