Jay Mondy’s Continued Love for Bali and Indonesia
This isn’t Jay Mondy’s first time in Indonesia, as he previously gained attention for another viral dance video from 2024. In that video, he danced with Indonesian elementary school student Nurul Azizah Safitri, who has been passionate about dance since she was four years old.
Azizah’s mother enrolled her in dance classes at the Miracle Dance Mataram Studio after noticing her love for dancing at home.
As reported by IDNmedia, Azizah, along with her parents, spoke about how the dance collaboration with Jay Mondy and his fellow dancer Isabell came to be.
“The next day, they made content wearing red and white uniforms and taekwondo clothes at Sangkareang Park,” said Azizah, explaining how the dance content was created during their time in Lombok, where they stayed for a week.

Not only did the dance moves become a global trend, but Lamar’s fashion, especially his flare jeans, also gained significant attention.
