Appearance of the Dancer[]
The coach is a man named Orion. He has dark brown hair, moustache and beard. He wears a brown cowboy hat, a dark brown leather sleeveless open jacket with numerous zippers and pockets and light tassels, a shirt with cyan-to-turquoise green gradient and a dark brown section at the end, light yellow baggy pants, and dark brown leather boots. He also wears a dark brown decorated shawl wrapped around the neck region, a thin dark brown necklace, dark brown and cyan bands in his left wrists, and dark brown thick band in his right wrist. His glove is pink, and his outline is a two-color bolded outline, with a white outer outline and a light brown inner outline.
During the chorus, all of the dark brown elements have a gradient from lighter to darker tone, the gradient in his shirt is changed to light yellowish green to light green, his pants has a gradient from blue to greenish cyan, and the cyan wrist band is changed to light yellowish green. The inner colored portion of his outline is changed to blue.
Background[]
The routine takes place in the Jungle Rhythms, which is located in Sun Horizon. It is a jungle made out of two-dimensional illustrations that slowly move sideways to transition to the different sceneries.
The map starts out in the middle of the deep jungle; leaves and bushes move with the wind, sun rays shine down in sync with the piano of the song, and tribal statues and decor can be seen around the place. There is a path where the coach walks into frame from and starts dancing. The background moves onto a swamp of bright water, from which bubbles rise up from. The coach now stands on a log boat, and there are lily pads, trees, bushes and submerged statues around him.
The background moves onto a boardwalk, where the coach stands. Behind him there is a cenital view of a river with more boardwalks over it, giant binoculars, several plants and a flock of white birds flying. As the background moves, other plants and trees go into scene, alongside mountains with waterfalls and a giant compass with its magnetic needle spinning around aimlessly.
In the pre-chorus, the coach is on the log boat again, which is now on a lake with another part of the jungle in the distance. It has tall trees, elevated cabins, and a giant telescope, with a short meteor shower happening behind it. The sky changes from sunset to nighttime, and stars slowly appear before spinning around with the crescent moon. The chorus background is the same as the jungle in the beginning, except now it is night time, so now fireflies are flying around, the tribal elements glow to the beats of the song, and moonlight rays shine down. The post-chorus is a continuation of the pre-chorus background, but now the cabins have the windows being lit up from inside to the song beats, there are lily pads on the water, the moon is full and constellations are visible in the sky.
During the second verse, the coach is back on the boardwalk background, but now there are different plants around the place, and the compass is replaced with a giant camera which constantly flashes.
On the outro, the background is on the lake scenery, this time during daytime, although the sky is replaced by a sky view of a river, with a flock of birds flying over it and clouds moving around. The log boat moves forward, and many plants cover the screen. A map of South America moves up behind the coach, shows a trail that goes from the Pacific Ocean to a spot in Brazil.
