วีดีโอ

thank you. Musicality is difficult to understand, especially for beginners. i am learning bachata now. i am difficulty in finding the no 1 beat, especially when there are more than one instrument. is there any video which explains in detail how one can identify the beat and dance according to the music. thanks

As someone who holds a masters degree in conducting, when I first started learning to dance I struggled. This struggle seems to be common for those who enter the dance world with a strong music background. My frustration was furthered by the inadequate explanation of how to dance to music that had a strong 4/4 time signature yet the dance, west coast comes to mind, relies significantly on a 6 beat structure. This frustration continued until I had my ah-ha moment; musicians work to keep 'time' (thus the time signature where everything works to fit within a particular measure (bar) or span of time) where as the dancers count beats. I have never heard of any dance instructor explain their dance musicality in these terms. I think it is probably because most dancers have as little understanding of music, in the same way musicians have little understanding of dancing. While dancing you want to maintain consistency with the beat of the music. The aspect of timing seems to primarily come into play when you are talking about speed, that is going too fast or slow according to the music. You made a nice attempt at trying to clear up some confusion. However, consider the notion that musicians and dancers look at music completely different modes. I can count beats and work the dancing to fit within the structure of the music. If I insist on trying to keep time, the frustration never ends.

Con you do more about contemporary

Thanks for your amazing explanation, but what about triplets 12th notes?

Thank you

As a musicality teacher for dancers, I see all of the music theory shown in such a short time is explained so nice and easy for understanding. Thank you so much for your work on this ! Keep going!

Bravo!

That sudden and temporary change in swing at 3:00 is so nice!

this is so helpfull!! can you please give an example of disco music?

#nowordstodescribe thanks :)

Happened to saw your video .... I want to address something, i am a musician, a music composer and producer. I will come straight to the point mam. You videos are good but the is no Balance in the output. I mean your mix is not that good. I can hear a lot of background music while i m listening to crucial information. So may be you can Do mixing of your videos. Or if you want some help, I can help you with that.

Love your videos. Would love more info on samba please 😊

would love to see you break down kizomba music :)

Hi, are you still making videos? Just watched them all in one go

Thanks for your vidéo its miss a lot on TH-cam understand thé music IS thé base to dance

😍😍😍

So cool

Fantastic explanation 👏 The 1 e & a counting that can be "replaced" by faster 1& 2 was perfect.

Thank you for the info, what struck me the most was the little piece about Stravinsky.... I did not realise so now I need to listen to it again with different "ears":)

thank you so much!!! I'd be fantastic if you could actually deep into the 2/4 , the 3/4 and the 4/4 on a ballet class, counting over music. Thank you!

Can you explain hip hop music 🙏

❤️🙏❤️🙏

Thank you so much for this knowledge 🙏☺️

I’m glad I found you. I’ve subscribed and will be sharing. I’ll check out your other videos for any tango references, if not please consider including tango. <3

Please upload some videos related to the Series you are awesome 😊❤️

I would like to take some online classes with you. Is it possible? If yes, how to get in touch?

Thank for the video. I found it useful. Whenever I dance (primarily pop) my teachers tell me I'm rushing, so I want to understand how to better listen to music. I am trying now to just listen and count, however I'm still not sure I'm counting correctly. Is there a way for me to check it? E.g. a program in which I can play the song and it shows the counts? Thank you ;)

These videos are really helpful. Thank you!

Hey can you tell me how to understand any songs tempo, if it possible

This is awesome! This song gets a lot less attention than it deserves. You did it justice!

Thanks a lot for this ❤️❤️

I can’t wait to see them tomorrow 🎷 Great cover 💕

This is gorgeous. I love your voices and the instrumentals are spot-on. I’ll play it many times. Thank you!

Wow❤️

Absolutely mind-blowing! There's so much talent and work in this cover, loved it 😍

This is cool! Nice work :D

what about 3/4 or 6/8 time signatures?

Now everything makes sense... Thanks!

Thanks a lot for that many useful tips! :D
