# Surreal Vertical Dancing Waltz on the Walls is a Performance Captured by GoPro Hero By Meghan Young | Published 2014-09-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-dancing References: [thisiscolossal](http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/09/waltz-on-the-walls/) & [artandsouloakland](http://www.artandsouloakland.com/) As companies and brands continue to market their product and services through experiences rather than traditional commercials, performances such as surreal vertical dancing are shared with the world. Bandaloop dancers Amelia Rudolph and Roel Seeber star in the vertical dancing viral video, defying gravity as they leap and bound across the walls of akland’s 18-story City Hall building. Captured during the Art + Soul Festival, the vertical dancing routine looks like something straight out of the 'Matrix' or even 'Inception.' All perspective is strikingly shifted to afford viewers a unique glance at what vertical dancing entails. Dubbed 'Waltz on the Walls of City Hall,' performance brings a little magic to people's day. Of course, all that it took to execute such a show was a couple of trained dancers and secure harnesses. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Experiential Marketing:** As companies and brands continue to market their product and services through experiences rather than traditional commercials, surreal vertical dancing is an example of creating a memorable experience for the audience. - **Performance Art:** Surreal vertical dancing shows the potential of exploring performing arts in new and unconventional spaces, such as on the walls of buildings. - **Immersive Entertainment:** The unique perspective provided by the surreal vertical dancing video creates an immersive entertainment experience for viewers, which could lead to new opportunities in film and virtual reality or augmented reality (VR/AR) experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** The surreal vertical dancing video shows the potential to push the boundaries of traditional entertainment and create engaging experiences that blur the line between reality and fantasy. - **Tourism:** Surreal vertical dancing can be used as a way to attract more tourists to a city or destination by showcasing unique experiences that visitors can participate in or observe. - **Technology:** The use of GoPro cameras to capture the surreal vertical dancing routine highlights the potential for technology to enhance and create new forms of art and entertainment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gracefully Dynamic Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-tower.md) - [High Wire City Stunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philippe-petit.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Dancing NFT Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natyaverse.md) - [Record-Breaking Skate Megaramps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-bulls-building-drop.md) - [Sensory-Rich Wine Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-wine-brand.md) - [Endurance Tap Dance Performances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endurance-tap-dance.md) - [Dreamy Dance-Centric Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-and-spike-jonze.md) - [Groundbreaking AR Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windooh.md)
