BLACKPINK、TWICE、蔡依林巨星御用編舞大師KIEL TUTIN:盡情隨音樂投入擺動,人人都能享受舞動奇蹟
英國BBC、美國哈佛都有相關研究顯示:跳舞,也能是一種療癒身心靈的運動!韓流編舞大師Kiel Tutin這回旋風來台,親自參與Vogue Wellness Week「K-POP舞動療癒」授課,並獨家分享如何透過舞蹈舒暢身心、感受快樂與自信的關鍵祕訣。
從音樂狂熱開始 舞蹈是本命之選
「換個時空,或許我會成為歌手,或是製作音樂。」堪稱是K-POP全球化幕後關鍵推手之一,從天后蔡依林、JLO,到BLACKPINK、TWICE、(G)I-DLE、ITZY、SOMI、宣美、泰妍等,巨星御用編舞大師Kiel Tutin從小就是個活潑好動的孩子,十分熱愛音樂,這也深深影響了他15歲時的人生轉捩點:下定決心全力以赴投入舞蹈生涯。
對於Kiel來說舞蹈有兩大面向,在職業上,教會了紀律、敬業的精神與創意。但個人私下與舞蹈的關係則是更純粹又神聖的,並且只有當擁有足夠的空間、時間與精力才會全然沉浸其中。
社群新世代點燃舞蹈熱情
而各類社群平台、自媒體興起的新世代,開始質變了舞蹈在生活中扮演的角色。如何看待這樣的變化?像是明星的舞蹈直拍、各類Dance Cover或Challenge(舞蹈挑戰),不僅成為網路高流量密碼,甚至變成歌手們的新型態宣傳手法,Kiel解析,其實人們對舞蹈的熱愛一直都在,只是現在才意識到其重要性!
過去會將小甜甜布蘭妮(Britney Spears)與珍娜傑克森(Janet Jackson)等明星視為流行偶像,卻沒完全意識到舞蹈在其中扮演的要角,隨著K-pop與抖音、Instagram、短影音等興起,對新世代產生巨大影響力,也間接鼓勵西方重新擁抱舞蹈,並讓流行歌手們再次大量融入舞蹈元素。社群媒體重新聚焦,更貼近日常生活、接地氣的讓你隨時隨地都能接觸舞蹈的內容,這使人們得以從新的角度來欣賞、並身體力行積極投入。
跳舞吧!感受超能力般愉悅能量
時至今日,舞蹈早已跳脫少數專業人士的職業,發展為全方位的時尚潮流指標,更是全民皆可做的身心靈健康運動。科學家們紛紛以研究數據來佐證,透過跳舞,不僅能讓你開心,改善憂鬱壞情緒問題,還有助於健康強身。
以科學角度來看,舞蹈,是少數能夠釋放各種情緒、又能鍛鍊身體張力的活動。Kiel補充說道:「當你盡情融入跳舞與音樂中,特別是跟團體一起共舞時,彷彿喚醒超能力,愉悅且自信。」這種療癒力只有親身體驗過才能感受,不僅緊密連結人際社交關係、擺脫孤獨感,還能讓你更加認識自己的身體。
跳不好?沒節奏感?盡情投入隨音樂擺動就對了
那麼「舞蹈」是解決現代人情緒負擔的萬靈解藥嗎?職業生涯挑戰過BLACKPINK登上Coachella音樂祭、蔡依林Ugly Beauty 世界巡迴演唱會,以及各大當紅韓國偶像新曲編舞的Kiel Tutin給了有趣答案:「不,我認為這並非絕對答案。舞蹈深具喚醒情緒力量,能療癒人心,但我也見過它帶來壓力與自我懷疑。」特別是對於職業舞蹈家們來說,這行業競爭激烈,舞蹈不只是表達自我,更是一門專業、一種紀律。
專業舞蹈並不適合每個人,但舞蹈本身絕對是屬於所有人的!Kiel透露,就連自己最初期也常被說沒節奏感,但即使你沒受過訓練,只要單純享受隨著音樂擺動的快樂,舞蹈都能讓你拋下雜念並回到身體當下的感受,沉浸自由奔放的身心舒暢。「這跟技巧沒關係,重點是真實的感受。如果你玩得開心,跳的對不對?好不好?那又怎樣,管他的!」
凌駕於舞蹈之上的創作靈魂
Kiel的編舞總讓人有種躍躍欲試、忍不住想要跟著擺動起來的感染力,這點從本次參加Vogue Wellness Week「K-POP舞動療癒」的每一位學員開心笑容中能窺見一二,有趣的是這位世界級編舞大師卻認為「自己或許是位糟糕的創作家」?因為舞蹈並非是唯一重要的、也不應凌駕於我們對待他人的方式,本身模仿能力強的Kiel為了避免受到他人風格影響,創作靈感啟發更多來自於音樂、藝術與生活等各方面,或許這正是Kiel Tutin的舞蹈極具鮮活靈魂,能直擊人心的魅力所在。
BLACKPINK, TWICE, and Jolin Tsai’s superstar choreographer, KIEL TUTIN: Let your body move with the music—everyone can experience the magic of dance.
Studies by the BBC and Harvard have shown that dancing can be a healing exercise for both body and mind! Korean pop superstar choreographer Kiel Tutin makes a whirlwind trip to Taiwan, personally teaches the “K-POP Dance Healing” class at Vogue Wellness Week and exclusively shares his secrets on how dance can ease the body and mind, bringing joy and confidence.
From a Passion for Music, Dance Was His Destiny
“In a not so distant world, I might have become a singer or a music producer.”Widely regarded as one of the key forces behind the global rise of K-POP, choreographer to the stars Kiel Tutin has worked with icons like Jolin Tsai, JLO, BLACKPINK, TWICE, (G)I-DLE, ITZY, SOMI, Sunmi, and Taeyeon. Since childhood, he was an energetic, lively kid with a deep love for music—an influence that led to a major turning point at age 15, when he made the life-changing decision to devote himself fully to dance.
For Kiel, dance has two distinct sides. Professionally, it has taught him discipline, dedication, and creativity. But on a personal level, his relationship with dance is much more pure and sacred—something he can only fully immerse himself in when he has enough space, time, and energy.
The New Social Generation Ignites a Passion for Dance
With the rise of social platforms and self-media, a new generation has transformed the role of dance in everyday life. What is Kiel’s view on this shift? From idols’ live dance streams to dance covers and viral challenges, these have not only generated millions of views online, but also become a new form of promotion for artists. Kiel explains that the love for dance has always been there—people are only now beginning to realize its true significance!
In the past, stars like Britney Spears and Janet Jackson were seen as pop icons, yet people didn’t fully recognize the key role dance played in that equation. With the rise of K-pop, TikTok, Instagram, and short videos, a powerful influence has emerged for the new generation—one that has also encouraged the West to re-embrace dance and inspired pop artists to once again incorporate it heavily into their performances. Social media has brought dance closer to everyday life, making it more relatable and accessible anytime, anywhere. This shift allows people to appreciate dance from a fresh perspective and actively engage with it themselves.
Just Dance! Feel the Joyous Superpower
Today, dance has long moved beyond the realm of a select few professionals—it has become a full-fledged trend in fashion and culture, as well as a holistic exercise for the body, mind, and soul that everyone can enjoy. Scientists have backed this up with data, showing that dancing not only brings happiness and helps ease depression and negative emotions, but also promotes overall health and strength.
Scientifically, dance is one of the few activities that both releases a range of emotions and strengthens one’s physicality. Kiel adds, “When you fully immerse yourself in dancing and music—especially when dancing with a group—it’s like unlocking a superpower. You feel joy and confidence.” This healing power can only be truly felt through personal experience. It not only deepens social connections and eases loneliness, but also teaches you so much about your body.
Can’t Dance? No Groove? Just Let Go and Move with the Music
So, is dance the ultimate cure for all the emotional burdens of the world? With a career that includes choreographing BLACKPINK’s Coachella performance, Jolin Tsai’s Ugly Beauty world tour, and hit songs for top K-pop idols, Kiel Tutin gives an interesting answer: “No, I don’t think it’s a one-size-fits-all emotional remedy. Dance has a powerful ability to awaken emotions and heal the heart, but I’ve also seen it bring pressure and self-doubt.” Especially for professional dancers, the industry is fiercely competitive—dance is not just about self-expression; it’s also a profession, a discipline.
Professional dance may not be for everyone—but dance itself absolutely belongs to everyone! Kiel shares that even when he started, people often told him he had no rhythm. But even without formal training, as long as you simply enjoy the feeling of moving with the music, dance can help you let go of distractions and reconnect with your body in the present moment, immersing yourself in a sense of freedom and release. “It’s not about technical perfection—it’s about feeling. If you’re having a good time, does it matter if you’re doing it right? If someone cares - stuff ’em!”
A Creative Spirit Beyond Dance
Kiel’s choreography has an infectious energy that makes people want to jump in and move—something clearly felt in the joyful smiles of every participant at this Vogue Wellness Week “K-POP Dance Healing” session. Interestingly, this world-class choreographer describes himself as “probably a terrible creative.” Why? Because dance isn’t the only thing that matters—nor should it ever come before how we treat others. With a strong ability to mimic, Kiel consciously avoids being overly influenced by others’ styles. Instead, his creative inspiration often comes from music, art, and life itself. Perhaps that’s exactly what gives Kiel Tutin’s work its vibrant soul and emotional impact—it’s dance that truly comes alive.
