30 Days of NCT: who’s your favorite dancer?

NCT is well known for its creative and complex choreo and each dancer brings their own style to it! Who’s your favorite NCT dancer? This isn’t necessarily who you think is the best but who is your favorite to watch, from technique to stage presence. Feel free to post clips too!

This is hard because I love the dance and NCT has so many amazing dancers for so many reasons. So I tried to think about when I first watch a choreo..I always want to see what Taeyong and Ten do because they are constantly inventive dancers. Taeyong especially will make small changes in his delivery EVERY TIME to choreo. I always watch Haechan because I think he is not only an excellent dancer but a charismatic one - he also always knows just where the camera is and what to deliver there in a way that many of the others don’t when it’s not their section. (Having not watched the Dreamie stuff before, I realize how he does this across both units.)

I think Mark is a phenomenal dancer and one of the best in NCT but I’m struggling on this fourth spot with him, Jeno, Jungwoo, Jaehyun and Jungwoo because I’m thinking not of who’s the best but who’s my favorite to watch (and not because Jaehyun is one of my biases because my other biases sure ain’t in this list LOL). Jungwoo is like Haechan with the technique, flair and charisma. Jeno and Jaehyun are similar in that their style is bold and powerful - it’s not as silky as Haechan or Jungwoo IMO but when they are at the center or move into a featured spot, they are always strong and engaging and there are songs I can’t think about without immediately thinking of their distinctive impact on the choreo (For example, Jeno in 90s Love or Jaehyun in Superhuman.)

I agree that Jeno ahs very powerful style of dancing, but I think Jaehyun dance is very smooth?

as his sweet vocal

He’s smooth but when you compare it to the other 127 leads (Yuta, Jungwoo, Haechan), I find it to be more power while the others lean towards more flair and fluidity IMO.

Like here’s a good example, if you compare him to those three dancers (esp on the chorus or the dance break.

I think he’s increased his flair and fluidity over the past few years and in certain styles of choreo, he really really has that flair (esp more traditional styles IMO.) I think the power is eye-catching in choreo because I think it plays to one of NCT’s strengths (that attitude they have in music and dance that I always find missing when other people cover them.)

of course I’d also point out I’m not a dancer and just an armchair dance fan
