Too Interesting! Have You Heard of Illusion Dance?
Do you know about "Illusion Dance," which is popular as entertainment for wedding receptions and after parties?
Illusion Dance is a slightly mysterious dance performance that utilizes visual illusions. *
It features performers wearing different colored outfits on the left and right sides of their bodies. The dance makes it hard to tell which feet or hands belong to whom...
It is also known as Illusion Dance, and guests and the newlyweds alike rave about it for reasons such as:
☑ "Staring at it for a while makes my head spin"
☑ "The extravagant appearance and mysterious dance are entertaining"
☑ "It was impressively well-done"
This is a highly praised entertainment option! *
If you're asked to perform entertainment, I highly recommend trying Illusion Dance with your friends.
It Looks Difficult, but It's Surprisingly Easy!
Although Illusion Dance looks challenging, it is surprisingly easy to do. *
First, the basics you need are matching costumes!
① T-shirts with a clear split in color down the middle (white and black or red and white are recommended)
② Tights in the same color as the T-shirts
③ Sunglasses or wigs
That's all! * Traditionally, the tights were shared by putting one leg from each person into one pair, but recently, online shopping sites like Rakuten offer tights with different colors for each leg, making it convenient. ♩
The choreography is simple; you just have to move specific feet in specific directions!
So it's perfectly fine even if you are a dance beginner or have limited time to practice together. *
As long as you don't mess up the choreography, it will gradually become hard to tell whose foot is whose, taking guests into a strange and mysterious world! ♩
Now, let's take a look at some highly polished Illusion Dance videos found on YouTube! *
