K-Pop choreographers join the Korean Wave

Are you a fan of K-pop? Catchy rhythms, talented young performers and the advent of social media have helped the genre grow from a Korean favourite to an international phenomenon.

The choreographers behind K-pop dances are quickly gaining a following well beyond Korea's borders. Vivienne Nunis reports from a dance camp in London.
