Last year for instance, as with many dance trends, there was a new dance that cropped up and was being popularized in various social media platforms. This “kemusan” dance also originated from china but has since become a phenomenon in every nation and is the latest craze in dancing in the whole world, and points out how the aspect of dancing is socially acceptable in every society no matter the country it comes from.
The complex steps and merry tunes which characterize the dance make it popular all over the global village. Everyone from working professional dancers to hobbyist are taking to social media to express their own version of the “kemusan” dance, making it an inclusive community.
However, one of the main reasons for the dance’s success is its simplicity. The moves are simple and this means that it is not rocket science anybody can step out and dance the Cuban motion without necessarily being a professional dancer. This has turned into a dance as many people of different ages and origin have danced it to depict themselves.
However, the “kemusan” dance has been an exception through such social media applications that allow the sharing of short videos for example the ‘tik-tok’. The aesthetic appeal of the dance coupled with the song used in the dance has ensured that the platform has been used for sharing, use of duets and challenges among others.
It’s a good thing to do, as the dance continues, everybody could always dance the world again. When the world is divided by races, classes, sexes and nations the “kemusan” dance illustrates that even such a minor activity as bouncing the posterior can bring people together and make them partners with the rest of the human race.
Hence the question, what has made this new dance appealing to the hearts and soles of people from all over the world? Perhaps it is the spirit, the group cohesion or plain sheer joy of dancing to music. Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: it’s for this reason that the “kemusan” dance is now a reality and the internet is crazy about it.
