Beat Generation is a pretty perfect idol song &#8211; it has a cool image and a great beat, but it&#8217;s supported by lots of energy.

I don&#8217;t mention choreography on this blog much because I feel completely unprepared to write about it, but Beat Generation&#8217;s one of my favorite dances &#8211; it works so perfectly with both the melody and the beat.<\/p>\n<p>Beat Generation is fun and a favorite, so I&#8217;m glad I got to revisit it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday a friend of mine posted an older Fairies video on Twitter which just made me revisit Beat Generation, my favorite Fairies track.
