I had a fun chat with singer, dancer, and choreographer Nat Zangi. We discuss her latest work on the Casio music video by Jungle.
I love watching music videos and it was fun to discuss the behind the scenes making of the video, as well as learning about her work in the industry.
If you have not yet seen this music video – pause right now and check it out: Jungle – Casio, Music Video
It is guaranteed to move you and at the very least have you tapping along to the beat.
As a martial artist, I have a deep appreciation for movement – and can these dancers MOVE! O and I admittedly try to recreate these moves without success…yet!

Jungle/Casio wasn’t on my radar what so ever, until dumb luck had me flipping through (TV)channels. Now I watch and listen at least once a day for joy & inspiration. (Thank you Nat & Jungle!)
Seemless is a great description of Nat’s choreography. It makes sense now, knowing Nat sang/performed with Jungle; the dancers have me FEEL the music. Simply brilliant!!!
Jungle music & videos are now my top, “go to” fix.
And thank you, M Chan!
Sorry for the late response! Jungle is great and glad you enjoyed the podcast.
I was so curious about who choreographed the Heavy California, Casio, & Cherry videos. The music paired with dancing is perfect. Looking forward to seeing more from Nat (especially since she was In the band). Amazing she choreographed on the bus!! Glad I found this interview!
Thanks for listening! Nat is amazing indeed!
