This was a prank which apparently didn't work.
Content creator Excuse Me Singapore has come under fire after their recent prank at *Scape appears to have offended the dancing community, according to their video on Tuesday (Sept 8).
In their post, Excuse Me Singapore shares that the loser of a match of rock-paper-scissors must listen to the winner's orders — "No backing out. No excuses. No dignity".
The loser, a female host, is told by her male counterpart to approach a group of dancers at *Scape.
His first challenge to her is to go up to the group once their music starts playing, and shout at them to stop the music.
"I cannot, they are f****** serious right now," the female host says, but she does it anyway.
When she tells the dancers to stop, they have visibly different emotions — some seem to realise the funny side of it and smile, while others appear shocked and angry.
The female host is then instructed to challenge them to a dance-off, which one of the dancers seems to smile and accept.
Other dancers can also be seen grinning, possibly finding the host's antics entertaining.
As the 'battle' proceeds, one dancer can be seen facing away from the camera, shaking his head and walking away.
The mood seems to shift as the female host is given her third challenge — to get on her knees and plead to enter the dance group.
While one of the dancers can still be seen smiling, the rest appear serious and reject the host multiple times.
Her fourth task was then provided to her as the male host instructs his counterpart to say: "Okay, never mind, you guys are too lame for me anyways."
While it is unclear if she fully delivers the line, the female host backs off as the prank segment ends.
The female host can be seen approaching one of the dancers in long sleeves.
"This is the prank that I was telling you [about] just now," she can be heard saying. "Oh my god, are you all okay or not?"
It's then revealed that the dancers were doing their "very final trial" and that one of their members was "very angry already".
Realising the situation, both the hosts of Excuse Me Singapore apologise profusely, extending well-wishes to the group.
While the video appears to end on a slightly sour, many commenters were far from happy with their prank.
"Brushing it off as a 'prank' by disturbing people who are laser-focused in doing their own thing, is really an inappropriate and rude behaviour.
"I hope you two sincerely consider taking the video down," said one.
Another user highlighted the negative impact the video might have on the dance community, explaining: "We already have limited spaces to gather in Singapore to practice for dance, and *Scape is meant to be a safe space.
"So imagine how this video could invite other potential troublemakers to do the same… Hope y'all learn from this and please— respect our time and space. Basic courtesy 101."
A user also pointed out that it is difficult for a full crew of dancers to find time and energy to get together and practice, as they require adequate breaks and deal with other commitments.
"Next time, read the room," the user stated.

这是一个恶作剧，但显然没有成功。
内容创作者 Excuse Me Singapore 近日在 *Scape 的恶作剧似乎冒犯了舞蹈界，并因此受到抨击。根据他们周二（9 月 8 日）发布的视频显示，该恶作剧似乎冒犯了舞蹈界。
新加坡“Excuse Me”在其帖子中分享道，石头剪刀布游戏中输的一方必须听从赢家的命令——“不许退缩。不许找借口。不许丢面子”。
输家（女主持人）被男主持人告知要接近 *Scape 的一群舞者。
他给她的第一个挑战是，等乐队开始播放音乐后，走到他们跟前，大声喊叫让他们停止音乐。
“我不能，他们现在非常认真，”女主持人说，但她还是这么做了。
当她让舞者们停下来时，他们的情绪明显不同——有些人似乎意识到这件事的滑稽之处并笑了，而另一些人则显得震惊和愤怒。
随后，女主持人被指示向他们发起斗舞挑战，其中一名舞者似乎面带微笑地接受了挑战。
其他舞者也露出了笑容，可能觉得主持人的滑稽举动很有趣。
随着“对决”的进行，可以看到一名舞者背对着镜头，摇着头走开了。
当女主持人面临第三个挑战时，气氛似乎发生了变化——她要跪下来恳求加入舞蹈队。
虽然还能看到其中一名舞者面带微笑，但其余舞者表情严肃，多次拒绝主持人。
随后，她的第四项任务交给了她，男主持人指示他的搭档说：“好吧，算了，反正你们对我来说太逊了。”
虽然还不清楚她是否完整地说出了那句话，但随着恶作剧环节的结束，这位女主持人还是退缩了。
可以看到女主持人走向其中一位身穿长袖的舞者。
“这就是我刚才跟你说的那个恶作剧，”可以听到她说道。“我的天哪，你们都还好吗？”
随后揭示，这些舞者正在进行“最终考验”，而且其中一名成员“已经非常生气了”。
意识到情况后，《Excuse Me Singapore》的两位主持人深表歉意，并向该团体表达了美好的祝愿。
虽然视频结尾似乎有些不愉快，但许多评论者对他们的恶作剧远不满意。
“打扰那些全神贯注做自己事情的人，却将其轻描淡写地称为‘恶作剧’，这是一种非常不恰当和粗鲁的行为。”
“我希望你们俩真心考虑把视频删掉，”其中一人说道。
另一位用户强调了该视频可能对舞蹈界造成的负面影响，并解释说：“我们在新加坡本就缺乏聚集练习舞蹈的空间，而 *Scape 旨在成为一个安全的空间。
“所以想想这段视频可能会如何引诱其他潜在的捣乱分子效仿……希望大家都能从中吸取教训，请尊重我们的时间和空间。这是最基本的礼貌。”
一位用户还指出，对于一个完整的舞蹈团队来说，很难找到时间和精力聚在一起练习，因为他们需要足够的休息时间，还要处理其他事务。
“下次说话要看情况，”该用户说道。
