VideoDance Workshop Series: “Pinky Up” by KATSEYE
The song’s message is clear – life isn’t that deep. As KATSEYE puts it, they’re living large right before the world ends: hanging with their best friends, sipping tea with their pinkies up, and owning every room they walk into. And the choreography? It hits just as hard.
In this workshop, you’ll learn:
- The full “Pinky Up” choreography, broken down count by count
- How to lock in KATSEYE’s signature confidence and stage presence
- The iconic pinky up moment and the moves that surround it
Whether you’re a longtime EYEKON or just discovering KATSEYE for the first time, this is your chance to learn the dance behind one of 2026’s most talked-about releases – fresh off their Coachella debut performance.
