In these rainbow-hued, dollar-store fantasias, Mr. Kanemura accents pop beats with runway struts and hair whips. Though his videos feature canny pairings of movement and music — he favors Carly Rae Jepsen’s fizzy singles — Mr. Kanemura doesn’t call them dance, exactly. “They’re a mishmash of all these different things I love,” he said in a video interview. “Obviously dance, but also theater and drag and costuming.”Addictive and meme-worthy, they seem made for TikTok, where Mr. Kanemura (@markkanemura) has amassed more than 175,000 followers. But he didn’t start out making them for TikTok.
