Reception[edit]

According to dance reviewer Linda Holmes of NPR News, "... the choreography is fascinating, and it's highly recommended if you're in the mood for a little mind-blowing movement."[3] One of the gone-viral video dances of the CDK Company,[10] based on Gotye's song "Somebody That I Used to Know", is described by Colossal, and presented in Boing Boing, as follows:

"On a single stage, the Netherlands-based collective showcases a wide array of sequences and movements in under four minutes. Dressed in '70s business casual complete with blazers, vests, embroidered blouses, and flared pants, the troupe incorporated ripple effects, tutting, and sharp jolts to bring forth a sense of urgency and intensity, creating a satisfying visual contrast against a rather mellow song. Wide-angle shots and cohesive color grading enhance the performance, evoking a heavily stylized environment that could be part of a Wes Anderson film."[4][5]

One viewer of the Company's viral dance video,[10] according to an Upworthy News article, noted, “This is pure art”; while another noted, “I think I’m going to watch it everyday for the rest of my life.”[8] Yet another viewer commented, “This deserves an Oscar for world’s best choreography!”[9]
