Underrated K-Pop dances you shouldn't miss out on

1. SPEED's 'What U'
How did I not know about this dance before? That just goes to show how underrated this dance was. It's really cool utilizing the shoes that let you roll around, and the fact that they're able to do this with such good control is impressive and noteworthy.
2. UP10TION's 'Attention'
This dance is super energetic and does a good job at showing the team's chemistry. They utilize one another as props to the dance, and c'mon, that leg flicking movement is so cool! I could watch them do that over and over again like o_o for days! So mesmerizing.
3. DASONI's 'Goodbye'
It's ridiculous how underrated EXID were before the fan cam. This sub-unit had an absolutely stunning, beautiful, elegant, and unique dance with the help of fans sported by their backup dancers. Even without the fans, the parts the two members do are cute, as well.
4. Ladies' Code's 'Bad Girl'
This dance was really catchy with a lot of fun, snap-to parts that the members pulled off beautifully while other parts had more smooth elegance. The beginning with Zuny and their snapping arm movements is a fun way to start the singing parts while RiSe's beautiful dance piece is a definite highlight.
5. HA:TFELT's 'Ain't Nobody'
This poor girl got no kudos for her interpretive dancing. This might look like flailing to some, but it really is hard and takes a lot of energy and practice - and she does it while singing! It's a beautiful dance that pairs up nicely with her emotional song.
6. EXID's 'Every Night'
The dance shows off their beautiful bodies, especially with the chorus where they emphasize their hip lines. It's quite a simple dance but effective in its elegance.
7. MAMAMOO's 'Um Oh Ah Yeh'
The dance is super duper fun and it's hard not to do the hand gestures with the girls when they sing, "Um Oh Ah Yeh"! Just try not to follow along for every dance move they do. It's just a really enjoyable dance that puts a smile on everyone's face, and the girls spice things up all the time with ad-libs.
8. Girl's Day's 'Twinkle Twinkle'
This is another really fun dance with super catchy moves that everyone should have gotten hooked to, especially when they go, "Momomo," and furiously wave their arms in the air. Of course the chorus parts are fun, too.
9. Hyosung's 'Good-night Kiss'
This is a very sexy yet elegant dance that is also something you can have fun with. The baby cradling movement is easy to follow. The hip swaying movement.. much less easy to follow, especially considering her killer heels. It's a fun and pretty dance!
10. Jiyeon's '1MIN 1SEC'
If the previous couple were fun and catchy, then this one is super artistic and absolutely stunning in its beauty. The choreographer did a really good job portraying the emotions of the song through body language. In particular, the mirrored part is wonderfully done and the choreographer is clever with the usage of blazers and couple dancing.
11. SISTAR's 'I Like That'
SISTAR always has popular dances, but perhaps people were too disappointed in the fact that this wasn't another fun, cheery summer song. That's why the choreography was sadly overlooked a bit, even though they did a stunning job with the usage of their skirts and the curtains.
12. U-Kiss's 'Stalker'
The group works really well, especially using to advantage the high numbers. There are always small surprises that pop up here and there like them copying the heartbeat with their hand under their shirts, making simple but effective hand gestures, doing things in rows, using one another as props to rest their feet on, and more. It's a very fluid choreography and the boys move wonderfully to it.
13. CLC's 'No Oh Oh'
This was not only an underrated song but also dance. The girls seem to have so much fun with it. There are lots of steps involved and cute gestures. You just kind of want to dance along with the members as they make their aegyo-filled moves and skip around. One reason fans love K-Pop is because of fun and adorable dances like these, so where's the love?
14. VIXX's 'Error'
Fans love VIXX for their dark concepts and artistic dance moves. This one in particular was really striking with how they "shock" N, seemingly lift people from the dead, and more. Sadly, this did not receive more love for the choreo outside of the fandom, and it totally should have!
15. Fiestar's 'You're Pitiful'
This is another elegant and sexy piece, done very simply but effectively. The girls utilize the chairs and male dancers really well. It's cute when the men put their blazers on the girls and it's cool when they do the leg sweeping movement as a wave.
16. After School's 'First Love'
This choreography turned heads, especially internationally, but it should have gotten more attention. They worked so hard to perfect their pole dancing moves - and pole dancing is really no easy feat! Look how beautiful they look! However, a lot of people seemed distracted by the fact that pole dancing seemed "too erotic" for a K-Pop stage.
