The Handsome Dancer brothers from the U.S. created the shoulder-shaking dance “Coincidance” in 2015. With its insanely catchy music and dance moves, it has continuously spread to every corner of the world and sparked imitation, becoming a currently viral and wildly popular dance. This time, the Handsome Dancer brothers were invited by a car brand to Taiwan to shoot an advertisement. In addition to making a highly enthusiastic appearance at ATT4FUN in Xinyi District in early December, the ad shot in Taipei in mid-December also triggered discussions and shares. Multiple Taipei scenic spots featured in the video showcase the unique face and character of Taipei.

In just 2 minutes and 27 seconds, the video weaves in various popular Taipei attractions, including iconic skyscrapers in Xinyi District, alleyway street scenes in the East District, as well as current hotspots like the double-decker sightseeing bus, Apollo Formalwear, Longshan Temple, and Ximending — all popular Taipei landmarks. Not only is the shoulder-shaking dance amusing, but the video also showcases the charm of Taipei as a tourist destination.
