Appearance of the Dancer[]
Original[]
The dancer is a man who is dressed like a 70s disco dancer. He has an orange afro and wears a long-sleeved jacket with peach collars and cuffs, along with a design on each side consisting of a white rectangle with peach borders that have a wavy blue line inside of it. Under his jacket, he wears a peach undershirt. He also wears a light yellow belt with a light blue buckle and peach pants with white and blue lines designs similar to the one on his jacket. He also wears white jazz shoes with blue soles and has an orange outline. He wears a light blue glove.
Remake[]
In the remake, his color palette has changed. His afro is now brown and his jacket is now brown, with his collars and cuffs becoming orange and the border of the rectangles on his jacket being orange as well. His belt is now cyan as well. Some of the lines on his pants and his shoes are now brown. His glove is now cyan.
At certain points during the routine, his color scheme changes to a more pink tone, with the orange parts of his outfit turning pink. His outline is also changed from orange to cyan and his glove becomes purple.
Background[]
Original[]
The routine takes place in a room with several rhombuses on the wall. The rhombuses are colored light blue, black, white, and bright coral. The rhombuses flash white to the beat of the song and occasionally have white copies of themselves move across the wall before disappearing. There are also five spotlights on each side of the room that flash to the beat of the song. At the beginning of the routine, the dancer appears in a ray of light-styled effect, and vice versa at the end of the routine.
Remake[]
In the remake, the spotlights have been removed and the floor looks more rounded, with light noticeably shining through it. The rhombuses on the wall are now more animated and move differently to the dancer's moves, gaining several lines jutting out from it near the beginning of the routine. When the dancer’s color scheme changes, the wall gains a pink tone as well. At the beginning of the routine, the dancer now appears being formed by sparkles.
Gold Moves[]
There are 4 Gold Moves in this routine. Gold Moves 2, 3, and 4 are done consecutively.
Gold Move 1: Point to your right with both of your hands and put your right leg behind your left leg. Your left arm must be kept straight while your right arm must be bent.
