Just came across this the other day. It’s fantastic. They have several other vids as well. All great.

That’s cracking. I wish that SimStim was a thing in the real world. I would love to feel what it is like to be part of a troupe like this, and to have the ability to make those moves.

Made me think of Kings Of Convenience “I’d Rather Dance With You” video

Normally I prefer dance videos from a static viewpoint, but watching the live performance https://youtu.be/4sXCTnk0yfs?si=HheWB2S40FWkUMxi highlights how much of the piece is designed for the camera. Fantastic work either way.

I don’t know anything about dancing but I’ve always liked this song and this was really fun to watch

I’ve always wondered what it’s like to have complete control over one’s own movements and also wondered, is that dance?

Both the recording and the live are fantastic.

One of my favourite bands has a troupe they always work with, they have created some wonderful routines - this one is a single shot:
