SHOWCASE VIDEO #1-Viral Dance At The Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final
Here's a December 14, 2025 Ai Overview write-up that is the result of my request for information about the viral dancer named Sara whose video of her performance at the 2025 Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final competition went viral:
"AI Overview
The dancer you are likely thinking of is Sara Trellez (also known as Sara Tréllez or @ssstrellez), a prominent street dancer from Colombia residing in Spain whose performances have consistently achieved viral status online in connection with various Red Bull Dance Your Style events, though her most famously viral "Monalisa" routine was from the 2022 events, not the 2025 World Finals. While clips of her continue to circulate widely in 2025 and are associated with the event, the main viral moments of the actual 2025 Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final centered on the winner, Jaïra Joy, and other finalists like Silent and Rylee.
The Phenomenon of Sara Trellez
It's fascinating how a single performance can capture the imagination of a global audience and continue to resonate years later. Sara Trellez's enduring popularity stems from her unique and powerful dance style, which many have described as spiritual and emotionally charged. Her memorable performance at the Red Bull Dance Your Style South Africa event in 2022, set to the song "Monalisa," is the primary clip that continues to resurface and gain millions of views across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
People are consistently drawn to several key elements of her performance:
Raw Emotion: Viewers often comment on her intense facial expressions and the feeling that she is completely channeling the music, allowing the "spirits to take over".
Musicality: Her ability to deeply connect with the music and interpret the beats with precision and creativity is a hallmark of her style.
Authenticity: Fans appreciate the unfiltered power and passion she brings to the dance floor, moving like the beat was "written for her".
Unique Fusion: She expertly blends different street dance styles, creating a performance that is both technically impressive and visually captivating.
The 2025 Red Bull Dance Your Style World Finals
The most recent Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final took place in Los Angeles in October 2025, and it produced a fresh set of viral moments of its own. The event was historic, featuring the first-ever all-female final showdown. The dancers who dominated the 2025 social media timelines were:
Jaïra Joy: The 18-year-old Dutch phenomenon who ultimately won the title. Her rounds, including an homage to an iconic moment, accumulated over 23 million views on TikTok alone.
Silent: The French krump artist who delivered a powerful, intense performance to a Burna Boy track that was noted for its "raw Parisian energy".
Rylee: A voguer from Philadelphia who brought ballroom flair, death drops, and intricate arm work to the stage in high-heeled boots and a feather boa, captivating the audience.
A Concluding Thought
So, while Sara Trellez remains an icon of the Red Bull Dance Your Style circuit, known for a timeless viral moment, the 2025 event was dominated by new talent like Jaïra Joy. The user's query beautifully illustrates the long tail of internet virality, where a powerful performance from years past can feel as current and impactful as the latest competition highlight. This ongoing engagement with past and present dance battles highlights the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of the street dance community and the power of social media to keep incredible moments alive for new and old fans alike. If you want to dive deeper into the world of street dance and see more viral moments, you can explore the official Red Bull Dance YouTube channel or check out various dance clips on TikTok."

SHOWCASE VIDEO #2 - Black Nativity Promo
, Aug 11, 2017
Langston Hughes' heart-felt musical is the most entertaining way to relive the birth of Jesus Christ through the beat of the drum, the feet of high-energy dancers, and the souls of passionate storytellers. Enjoy The Nativity in a new light through great gospel music.
-snip-
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Nativity
"Black Nativity is an adaptation of the Nativity story by
Langston Hughes, performed by an entirely black cast. Hughes was the author of
the book, with the lyrics and music being derived from traditional Christmas
carols, sung in gospel style, with a few songs created specifically for the
show. The show was first performed Off-Broadway on December 11, 1961, and was
one of the first plays written by an African American to be staged there."...

You can hear some people in the audience clapping to the beat during this musical theatre production. At certain times in the video such as around 1:21 you can also see some audience members clapping during this song and dance performance.

Read information about the play Black Nativity from the Wikipedia excerpt given for Showcase Video #2. In this video, I'm particularly interested in the reactions that the woman dressed in red has to the play.

This YouTube video documents the audience reactions during a step show that is performed by members of Spelman College's chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. These reactions, which are made by other members of that historically Black Greek letter sorority who are in the audience, consist of vocalizations such as "Let's go A.J. let's go, girl!", making that sorority's signature "call", and making that sorority's signature hand gesture.
