Actually, Kuu took dance lessons all the time before she debuted when she was younger, and has continued to dance ever since. She's taught by her professional dancers who always appear on stage with her, and they do her choreography, too.
I think Kuu has a little advantage because she is quite close with her dancers, which is why she keeps the same ones for years, and they are the ones that teach her and create her dances with her. They know Kuu, so they work together to make really unique dances that you know have 'Koda Kumi' written all over them. The sorta dances you recognize her for, and not just the sexy ones. XD
"Love Shine: Kuu on the other hand has so much passion and sass it burns through the screen. Are the moves hard? No, not terribly so. They are, however, unique. She does a lot of stuff interesting stuff that you wouldn't think would make great dance moves and not at all what you would see in America, or even Japan. She is also obviously very fit, as she can jump, kick and split, so that can add an element of "hardness" to her dancing. But, you know she's doing it because she loves it."
This. Kuu is my favourite dancer, because of her passion and pure energy, It's just like, pure ecstasy when you watch her dance sometimes.
You can tell when she dances she loves it, and that passion and love forms into some incredible dances, whether they be quite simple but unique, or just body popping extreme! Kuu has such an array of dances that just make you want to get up & move! It's another big reason why I love her.
Considering how great she is, I am surprised how little she is known for dancing. I mean, how can you MISS IT when you watch her? SHE IS ON FIAH!
I really like Namie too, but I have to agree with what a lot of people have said, Namie tends to be more I would say, skilful and technical at dancing. Namie is an incredibly good dancer in skill, she can move effortlessly, which is not an easy feat...But I have never seen the same passion as I do with Kuu. But I think that's because Namie's style is very much the cold, cool and calculated look. She is MEANT to move effortlessly and skilfully, it's what makes her cool and look cool, everyone wishes they can dance effortlessly like she can, without losing a breath or even moving an eyebrow, I always wonder how she does it. Her and Kuu technically have two completely different styles of dancing because this, Their image and styles are very different. One is cool, skilful and calculated, the other is explosive, energetic and sexy. (Not saying Name is sexy, she tends to do a lot of sexy songs, but in terms of dancing and image, she has always been a 'cool# image to me, than sexy.)
As for BoA, so one can deny she is one of the best. Her dancing is flawless, she even out-dances her back-up dancers! I find BoA's a good mix of Kuu and Namie. She has the same cool and skilful moves and Namie, but much more enegetic, like Kuu's moves. BoA is another that always keeps me watching with unique moves that have energy, but also pure skill.
So I would say...
Kuu - The best for energy and performance! She is the #1 performer for me when she dances for her passion.
Namie - The best for effortlessness and skill. Namie makes dancing too cool for school.
And BoA - The best for moves and swagger! She has the moves and the skill, as well as the energy, BoA is the #1 for hip-hop.
I am quite passionate about dancing myself, and it's why I appreciate all three of these amazing dancers. They all bring different styles of dancing to the stage, that I can enjoy and find unique for each one of them.
THEY are the best of Asia.
