# Choreographed Reflection Illusions The Dance Club Mirror Fools You Until the End By Harris Jay Rosenberg Alterman | Published 2012-02-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dance-club-mirror References: [theawesomer](http://theawesomer.com/mirror-dance/153725/) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em-dT0pz75o&feature=youtu.be) The Dance Club Mirror was a skit performed on Japanese show Kasou Taishou that shocked audience members in its final moments. This perfectly choreographed dance routine appears to feature five dancers showing off their moves in a mirror. The skit begins with one girl strecthing until she is slowly joined by her dance team. Once they are all assembled, they perform a dance in a"mirror” that would be complex by itself. When the routine ends, the people in the mirror walk out into the stage to reveal that in fact, there were ten dancers the whole time. Each dancer had an exact replica dressed in the same clothing and doing the mirror images of the dancer. The Dance Club Mirror must have taken hours and hours of practice to create such an in-sync illusion. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Choreographed Reflection Illusions:** The trend of creating elaborate dance routines that incorporate mirror illusions can captivate audiences and create memorable performances. - **Perfectly Synchronized Replicas:** The trend of using exact replicas to enhance choreographed performances offers opportunities for creating visually stunning and mind-bending illusions. - **Innovative Stagecraft:** The trend of pushing the boundaries of stagecraft through creative use of mirrors, lighting, and coordination provides new avenues for engaging and surprising audiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can explore and incorporate choreographed reflection illusions to create unique and memorable performances in various forms of media. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can leverage the trend of choreographed reflection illusions to bring a sense of wonder and wow-factor to live events and performances. - **Visual Effects:** The visual effects industry can utilize innovative stagecraft techniques, including mirror illusions, to enhance and elevate the quality of visual experiences in film, television, and virtual reality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reflective Public Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-and-butterflies-are-dancing.md) - [Illusory Doorway Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panis-mirror.md) - [Optical Illusion Replica Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liberty-science-center.md) - [Mirrored Flower Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflecting-diverseness.md) - [Kinetic Optical Illusion Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-woodflow.md) - [Interactive Dance Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dance-it.md) - [Disco Light-Replicating Illuminaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flasher.md) - [Reflective Material Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue.md) - [Mirrored Hall Visual Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/internamente.md)
