Although I don't know the intention , I viewed it as being a flock of swans . The costumes were intended to suggest the fluffy swan body .

Did anyone notice the dancing wasn't all that well done? Lots of miscues...lots of collisions...I'm guessing this was done as a Pun?

In reading some of the comments it seems to me that many do not see just what is in front of them without judging what they see. Why can we not just look at what is in front of us.

I guess I should not be surprised by the the gender based reactions to the dancers costumes, yet I still find myself disappointed. Traditionally male and female costumes, hairstyles etc are an artificial construct of our societies that change generation to generation. My great-uncle wore a dress and had long hair until he was school-aged. Some generations would have thought males with short hair to be inappropriate. Romans and Scots traditions of toga/ kilts were clearly not a threat to their masculinity. I thought the dance was beautiful and part of that beauty was the costumes.

Beautiful song and video!

These men are sacrificing a masculine outfit to be part of an artistic effort.

Maybe their motive is the purity of the dance.

Maybe they're just happy to be close to such beautiful, fit women

But they're there...wearing very feminine outfits...because the costume designer demanded it.

They're either well paid....or well compensated with the presence of the women, or the right to participate in a professional dance company.

I concur with @Alvinsmama....the "dresses" were too feminine - but the costume designer is either very persuasive or very rich....

@Allamanda This seems to be first thoughts of many viewers because wearing dresses or skirts is not even close to being a trend in men's wear...but wearing pants and jeans by women is. .

Women's "pants suits" and jeans have become common; whereas the only men in "kilts" or "skirts" are the traditional Scotsman - and even they are increasingly rare.

Having all the dancers wear "tights" or a "unitard" would have worked...

But the choreographer or costume designer has an obvious bend toward feminizing the men dancers - so it's reduced the video to a bit of an oddity, or joke. The producer has made a point....but lost a lot of impact; too many will laugh at this.

I viewed the other videos by this artist. (S)he leans toward the absurd; A man walking around with a "mast" to a plastic boat raft...eventually mounts it on the raft and floats away....I don't follow the point of the film. Artistic? I don't "get it"...
