Question 11

Q) What is part 1/part 2 on the schedule?

Accepted Answer

A) Sometimes K-pop choreography is so difficult that it is difficult for students to learn a long length in 1 hour. Because of this situation, we teach the length by dividing it into part 1 and part 2 to ensure that everyone can master K-pop choreography.

Additionally, when there are two different chorus parts in a choreography, we use part1 and part2 to distinguish them.

Parts of the choreography are uploaded every week on Instagram and you can check them out.
