# Dancing Forever World Tour

The Dancing Forever World Tour (Chinese: 唯舞獨尊世界巡迴演唱會) was the second concert tour by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai. The tour began on September 15, 2006, at Hong Kong Coliseum and concluded on February 8, 2009, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, United States. Spanning two and a half years, the tour visited 20 cities across Asia, Oceania, and North America, with a total of 28 performances. The tour attracted an audience of approximately 500,000 people and grossed around NT$1 billion in ticket sales.

## Background

On August 7, 2004, Tsai launched her first world tour, the J1 World Tour, at Hongkou Football Stadium in Shanghai, China. The tour lasted for one year and nine months, with a total of 8 performances across 7 cities worldwide, concluding on April 22, 2006, at Bren Events Center in Irvine, United States.
On May 12, 2006, Tsai released her eighth studio album, Dancing Diva. On May 31, 2006, her manager, Howard Chiang, revealed that Tsai was planning to embark on a new tour later that year. On July 17, 2006, Tsai announced that her second world tour, the Dancing Forever World Tour, would begin on September 15, 2006, at Hong Kong Coliseum.

## Commercial reception

The ticket sales for the Shanghai stop of the tour opened at 9:00 AM on August 1, 2006, and on the first day, it broke Hongkou Football Stadium's record for opening-day ticket sales. By the end of the first week, the tour had grossed over RMB 1.5 million in ticket sales.
Ticket sales for the Taipei stop began at 12:30 AM on September 18, 2006, and all 22,000 tickets sold out within six days. As a result, an additional performance was added on November 17, 2006, at Taipei Arena. Tsai became the first pop singer to hold three consecutive concerts at Taipei Arena. The tickets for the November 17 Taipei performance went on sale at midnight on September 29, 2006, and all 11,000 tickets were sold out by October 21, 2006.

## Controversies

The dance routines in the tour featured complex and high-risk moves, incorporating elements of gymnastics such as rings and pommel horse. Some critics, however, voiced concerns, arguing that the concert resembled a "circus act" rather than a traditional music performance, suggesting that it detracted from the essence of a live concert. In response, Tsai defended her artistic choices, stating: "Many of my songs are dance tracks, and choreography is essential to fully interpret them. The difficult gymnastics moves are just an added flourish; I don’t believe they undermine the integrity of the concert. After all, every performer has their own unique style."

## Recording

On June 8, 2007, Tsai released the live video album and documentary If You Think You Can, You Can!. The album includes footage from the tour's performances at Taipei Arena from November 17 to 19, 2006, a documentary about the tour, and music videos for four tracks from the album Dancing Forever.
The album debuted at number one on the weekly video album sales charts from G-Music and Five Music in Taiwan. It also ranked second and first on the annual video album sales charts from G-Music and Five Music, respectively, in 2007.
