“There are so many dance groups now, so many individuals doing well, and we are playing a very major role. Everybody knows how much dance contributes to this music industry. We are making songs go global. It’s not that the songs wouldn’t go without us, but dance is a tool. Videographers, producers, and directors all play their roles, and dancers do too. So, I think next year, it should be added. That’s all I’m looking for,” he stated.

With the rise of social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, dance has become a powerful promotional tool for music, allowing songs to gain massive traction worldwide.
