they dance to it

Hoyo MMDs to unexpected music. Curated experiences almost every monday. CLICK HERE to see our carrd for MMD sources, our offical Discord server, and more!

[they-are-dancing-to-it]

Welcome to They Are Dancing To It, a tumblr based art project. Akin to blackout poetry, we, Mod Kuki and Mod Kaveh, take MMDs from Youtube, put them on mute, and then play new music over them until we discover a song that goes to the dance.

The songs are generally top 40 hits, something you might hear in a grocery store or shopping mall. Occasionally we add in a personal favorite indie song, like the kind of thing you might hear in a cool bookstore.

We don't choose what they'll dance to. Only the performers can do that. We're here to discover and curate these exquisite performances.

Wanderer's quick movements and fun facial expressions here make for a well-synced MMD full of personality. Would you let him touch tone your telephone?

Fischl, Bennett, and Razor are in perfect sync here--this one's just oozing good energy. They're clearly having a great time of it. Rock on, Ruin Guard in the background.

This cunty dance group is serving in just the right ways as they dance to Somebody Told Me by The Killers. Their outfits lend a sleek, seriousness to the piece, while their slow, decisive movements convey grace. Put this on in the club, and you'll have people swarming to dance with you.

An upbeat, invigorating performance from Sethos and Cyno highlights the pair's natural talents for timing and rhythm. Watch closely how well they match the ebbs and flows of the song.

This large ensemble executes a technically impressive performance of Teenage Dirtbag. Reconnect with your inner teenager, and give it a watch.

The (complete) Sumeru boys come together to bring you this feel-good classic. You can almost feel them start to dance through the screen, the piece almost sitcom-esque in its playfulness.

This ephemeral experience is just a minute and a half long, but what a minute and a half it is.

An unusual duo sets an unusual precedent: the second Mamma Mia featured on theyaredancingtoit. This time, it's the original.

Sethos brings us a very serious and personal performance. As you watch, appreciate how he punctuates the drumbeats. What a delight to the senses.

Tired of the grind? So are these Harbingers. As well as Kaveh and Alhaitham, for some reason. Kick back with this funky musical performance.

The working title for this piece was "Mad World -- Tears for Fears (sethoscara having sex)" and I genuinely can't think of another way to describe it. They're slutty dancing to it. Watch it.

A heart wrenching performance from two talented Harbingers.

Sethos! at the Disco

A fun and heartwarming gold star MMD. All the Archons brought a plus one to this performance of Die Young by Kesha.

The first of many MMDs featuring Kafka combined with dad rock. It's a winning combo, and for this pioneering piece she's brought the rest of the Stellaron Hunters to dance with her.
