A viral dance group has been filmed performing in multiple public spaces across Singapore, sporting bold movements while dressed in what appeared to be Peranakan-inspired outfits, with one onlooker left flabbergasted at their \u201cvulgar\u201d moves.<\/p>\n
Stomper Anonymous<\/strong> said that she spotted the group on the opposite side of the road while waiting for the traffic light on her way to Chinatown Complex.<\/p>\n When the light turned green, the group \u201cdanced across the road\u201d towards her.<\/p>\n \u201cMy impression was that the dancers were very loud and vulgar,\u201d the 72-year-old told Stomp, pointing out that the clothing they donned was not representative of Peranakan<\/a> culture.<\/p>\n \u201cNonyas were very refined. They never behaved like this,\u201d she explained, describing the dance group\u2019s patterned attire as \u201ccultural appropriation\u201d.<\/p>\n The Stomper did not identify the costumes that the dancers were wearing, but said she was \u201cfamiliar\u201d with them as they were \u201csimilar\u201d to what her grandmother wore every day.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is OK to use it in the right way, but to use it and prance and gesticulate with violent gestures, like going to war, is not acceptable,\u201d the Stomper said.<\/p>\n \u201cI was very disgusted,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Videos of the group, known as Fulan Dance Troupe and led by dance teacher and choreographer superjohnnybaby<\/a>, show five dancers emerging from a Gunkee Claypot outlet in Chinatown,<\/a> strutting across a traffic junction at South Bridge Road with at least five cameras capturing their moves.<\/p>\n They end the sequence with a kick towards one of the cameras.<\/p>\n In another video of the group performing inside the restaurant,<\/a> superjohnnybaby can be heard shouting \u201cEverybody\u201d, with the other dancers echoing him in response. During the routine, they raise their hands and kick towards the camera in unison.<\/p>\n Later, they turn away from the camera and step backwards rhythmically, before whipping around and strutting out of the restaurant.<\/p>\n They were also spotted at The Woodleigh Mall<\/a>, performing what appeared to be the same routine in an open space beside the Gunkee Claypot outlet at the shopping centre.<\/p>\n
