Concept Behind the Collaboration: A Fusion of Themes

The concept of “Minn” — hotels where everyone can stay together — aligned perfectly with Avantgardey’s precisely synchronized group performances. This thematic synergy inspired the collaboration. The dancers stayed at a Minn hotel and experienced the comfort of spacious rooms and “live-like lodging.” Their impressions were translated into a dynamic performance, turning the hotel into a stage where memorable journeys begin.

About the Video: Showcasing the Comfort of Group Stays at Minn through Dance

Set in Minn Gion Sanjo, the video features Avantgardey performing in their signature school uniforms. The highlight is how the spacious rooms of Minn — designed to accommodate large groups — seamlessly transform into a dynamic performance stage. Living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and even the lobby become the dancers’ playground.

The video creatively portrays the unique Minn experience: large group-friendly layouts, “live-like” amenities, and smart hospitality, all adding emotional value to a guest’s travel memories.
