Waveya (Hangul: 웨이브야) is an all-female dance cover group from South Korea. The group is currently a duo consisting of dance choreographer Ari, and her younger sister MiU.
History
Waveya was created by sisters Ari and MiU, who held auditions for and trained the dance team. The group started posting videos of their dances on a Korean portal site in 2006. Waveya gained popularity after creating their YouTube channel in 2011, amassing over 2 million subscribers since the channel was made. In their videos Waveya either perform dance covers of various K-Pop artists or their own original choreography.
There have been several changes in the lineup since the group began. Waveya's popularity started to increase ever since they uploaded a YouTube video, in which they danced to Psy's hit song Gangnam Style. Since then, Waveya has produced YouTube videos, given concerts, and made some commercials. Waveya has performed in concerts in various countries such as Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Spain, Poland, Italy, Turkey, Germany and Sweden.
