Frequently Asked Questions
What is a K-pop Random Play Dance?
A K-Pop Random Play Dance is a fun group event, usually held in public, where a mix of various K-pop songs are played at random. Dancers who know the choreography to the song that is playing will jump into the main dance area to perform the choreography. When the songs ends, they return to the designated standing areas.
How can I host a K-pop random play dance in my city?
We help local hosts organize K-pop random play dances around the world! We sometimes will go to locations in person, but most of the time we support remotely. The local host will need to determine an ideal location for the event, be able to play music through speakers, and record the video during the event. Oh and bring as many friends as they can to the event! We can take care of everything else!
We typically work with local K-pop event organizers and K-pop cover dance crews as they know all of the best locations in public to film, have audio and video recording equipment, and have a network of dancers who will show up to the event.
Where are the best locations to film?
Ideally locations are in public with lots of foot traffic, plenty of space, and enough light to illuminate the dancers and audience. Iconic locations are the best for views (think famous public squares, parks, monuments, buildings, etc in the background)
How should I setup the space for the event?
Designate a dance floor area with tape or other visible objects so the dancers know where to go in order to be in the camera frame. Dancers should line up on the sides while leaving the area in the back open for any public viewing. Cameras and speakers should be located at the front.
Any video recording requirements?
Yes please record the event in 4K resolution as that is best for zoomed in fancams. Main cameras should be mounted on tripods to provide stability at a height of at least 6ft (the taller the better for views of the dancers in the back). Send us the raw video file with minimal editing, we handle the audio and video editing for you.
What video should be recorded?
The footage from the main camera mounted to a tripod at the front is the only video we need. However, please take additional footage of the crowd, behind the scenes activities, funny moments (as long as you are not blocking the main camera) and share with us as well! This footage is great for capturing B-roll and other camera angles of the event. We also like to include interviews of dancers after the event if possible.
Can I post the video of the event as well?
Yes, you can post footage from the event on your social media channels as well! We typically like to time our posts with you so they release at the same time.
What does the typical process look like?
Step 1: The local host determines date, time, duration, and location of event
Step 2: We will create a graphic about 3-4 weeks before the event to promote it and receive song requests for the playlist
Step 3: We finalize the playlist with local host input on final song selection about 1-2 weeks before the event
Step 4: The audio file is created about 1 week before the event so the local host can review and make any changes.
Step 5: Local host handles logistics of setting up the equipment, answering questions, playing the audio file, and recording the video.
Step 6: Local host shares the video file with us. We can provide a link to upload if needed.
Step 7: We edit the video and post to our social media channels. This usually takes about 1-2 weeks after local host shares the video files.
Are there any forms that need to be signed?
All participants need to sign the liability waiver and photo release forms in order to participate in the event. This protects you as the local host in case there are any injuries during the event and allows us to post images and video from the event on our social medial channels. Any minors will need parental consent in order to participate.
