There are 2 types of dancers in the club: the ones who love all the attention and will willingly dance on top of the podium/stage, or the ones who shy away from the spotlight and would rather remain hidden within the crowds. For most of us shy folks, it’s most probably the latter, but for this Singaporean, she was super not shy in busting out the moves at this drag club in Taipei—and up against a professional drag queen too!

The Singaporean dancer/TikToker in question is Ophelia Oliviero (@opheliaoliviero), who during a recent visit to Taipei’s hottest drag club, Belle’s, found herself onstage at the centre of attention in a dance-off against one of the club’s resident drag queens. In true dance battle fashion, the songs were chosen at random; if you get lucky, you’ll hear a song you’re familiar with, if not…try your best to groove (awkwardly) to the beat.

For Ophelia’s turn, the DJ chose to play one of the hottest songs in K-Pop, ‘Super Shy’ by NewJeans. And what do you know, it seems Ophelia knows the song quite well. She was the total opposite of super shy and confidently performed the original choreography as soon as the iconic chorus played. In our opinion? Girl slayed. Take a look at her performance here:
@opheliaoliveiro KPOP night, crazy crowd and supportive friends 💗💗💗 the drag queen dancing with me is such a vibeee~ 台灣 ill miss you! I was so high here omg 😳😳 #bellesintaipei #supershy #newjeans #kpopnight #taipeiclub #dragclub

Not only did she nail the dance, she got the crowd hyped up with her energy and enthusiasm, and even got the drag queen to dance along with her! We could all do with that kind of confidence, you think?
