Music video

[edit]

On April 27, 2006, Tsai released the music video for her song "Dancing Diva", which was co-directed by Marlboro Lai and Bill Chia.[8] Its main dance theme is the "Light Wave Dance", which is a fusion of reggae, hip-hop and Middle Eastern dance. Through the power of the hips and chest, the explosive power is maintained in the soft and smooth movements,[9] and Tsai also incorporates the ribbon element of rhythmic gymnastics in the music video in order to pursue a different visual effect of the dance. Tsai said, "When I was out promoting, I watched TV and thought the ribbons in gymnastics were very pretty, so I told my manager I wanted to learn them and use them in my future dances.[10] After the album was finished, we thought the ribbon would be a good fit for the song 'Dancing Diva'". Tsai also said, "Gymnastics is a sport that requires strength, and it's actually a bit scary, so I have to force myself to do different physical exercises, such as pulling my legs up to 180 degrees. I'm so tired that I can't breathe after every gymnastic session"[11]
