I feel like the hardest part of being tall is trying not to look awkward when your low in a lunge or squat because dancing low is realllly weird for me. Video on comfortably dancing at a low level??
Just my own experience, but found that the more flexible I got, the more comfortable and less awkward dancing low was. It just became more natural feeling as a whole.
I used to feel really awkward dancing low (I’m not even that tall but still). To get over it, I just started bending my knees and staying low while I freestyled to songs. I think it’s just something you need to get used to. Eventually dancing low will get in your muscle memory and it won’t feel so awkward. Dancehall is a great style that emphasizes levels. Finding different dance styles, moves, combos, and choreography that has lots of levels can help you improve. Just keep bending those knees. Stretching and strength training (squats, lunges, toe raises, etc) can also be very beneficial. Another thing that helped me a lot was to get out of my head (this can go for anything really), because when you’re in your head it can show and you won’t feel as confident. So own it! Hope this helps 😊
The clickbait thumbnail comment made me crack up 😆 I super appreciate this video because I spent so much of my life making the excuse that I could never dance because I was too tall, but the truth is THERE AIN'T NO EXCUSE 😤😤😤
I'm a somewhat average 5'6" woman but I relate to this because my arms are freakishly long and I never know what to do with them. Anyway, I appreciate your videos highlighting how being a certain body type shouldn't limit you, and in fact that you should find ways to use it to your advantage.
sanddreams0 saaame I’m like 5 foot and I’m 15 and super skinny with long ass limbs, like my arms and feet make up 90 percent of my body. I started growing pretty late tho so maybe I’ll grow into my body 😅
@@txt5201 same, I kinda feel insecure when dancing because of my height, I'm skinny and my arms are so fricking long and my legs too that makes my dance look bad. I mean I'm happy that I'm tall and my body is skinny but at the same time when it comes at dancing... Idk what to feel anymore 😭😂 But I'm glad I found this video because I really want to dance but my height and long arms are stopping me to do it. So Im glad and thankful for this vid
Ana theNinjaGirl Me too thats what I usually rely on but when my dance team says that the costume for our performance involves short sleeves or something I get so stressed 😂
Prince Winston Thee Third - Thats true however being too big or too small is still a struggle since your body type isn’t “the norm” (even though skinnier bodies might have it better than larger ones, depending on the dance style) Just because we might have it better doesn’t mean we have it all good. And I don’t think you know how skinny I’m talking about 😭 Not slim fit, I’m talking about skinnnnny
@@hyunsuksicecream5227 THATS SO REAL, I’m 5’11 and a half and I’m skinny af. My hands always look like they’re going the opposite direction than what I’m originally trying to do 😭
I'm 5,2, don't really know why am I watching this- but hey for all the people seeing this, you can do it!! I've met really tall and good dancers in my classes, so keep it up!
0:47 OMG I felt that! I know how it feels. In the beginning, I started thinking I wasn't good enough and that was the reason why the teacher placed me in the back! But then I discovered it was because I was tall, also I gained more confidence and started to dance because of the pleasure, and not for the protagonism
The worst part is bending or squat positions, I look so awkward cuz there's just leg all over the place. Seeing that just makes me wanna give up entirely. I felt emotional being able to relate to these dancers in the video.
My soulmate what are you doing here? 😂 Yeah if it sucks for tall guys it sucks ×100000 for tall girls. Plus you have to have to have strength to move your tall limbs fast enough. So now you're a tall amazon. 😭
Happy to see your comment! I wish they would have included some tall female dancers in this vid. I’m a 5’11” female and had always felt so awkward dancing but now for some reason when I spot myself in the mirror, way taller than the other dancers I’m ok with it, if you’re confident, you’re moves will be strong and yes people look at me more, which I used to hate but now I just embrace it and hope it’s because I’m dancing well and not because I’m the tall one.
I swear to god you read my mind.. Its been bothering me that I’m tall and I’ve got really long, thin, limbs and the movements just dont look very cool 😭
You gotta find your bodies natural flowing movement and work with it. Trying to conform to how other people look (short people) will make it harder for you to fully express yourself
For me (6" female), I realized that I need to make sure I'm going down as far as possible in my squats and lunges when working out. I notice that I tend to hover a bit above my lowest possible level, so I can do more reps. But from my research, it seems I need LESS reps w/MORE weight to develop the strength and power to dance more cleanly and explosively. So, even though I can do less reps (for now!) when going all the way to the floor in a lunge, for instance, that's exactly what I need to do to make dancing easier. How does this relate? Well, I unfortunately default to putting weight in the balls of my feet (and looking CRAZY AWKWARD, @$% in the air ~ lol) when dancing, instead of in my heels... in the groove... sitting back and low. As a tall person in a world made for short and average sized people, I'm constantly leaning forward to do... everything. But (in hip hop/urban especially), I see that it's important to bend your knees and put weight in your heels. To do that, I need to make sure I'm doing *fully flexed* squats and lunges in my workouts, so that that natural weight distribution doesn't take so much out of me... and so I don't look like a spindly fool.
No such thing as too tall! Nor as too short! When taller you gotta go lower into your plie, when shorter you gotta give even more energy/stage presence as your peers to make sure you stand out. At the end of the day it's not the height, its the dancing and the hard work that gets you the job 🖤
I was tall and kinda skinny I was 172cm and 51 Kilos Sometimes i feel so awkward when i was dancing . Because of that almost all of my clothes are oversized so i can make it looks bigger . And when i'm dancing to low choreography i kinda feel weird .
Stopped browsing through "Storming Area 51" Memes just to watch this. I was literally just thinking about how yall should make a video for tall dancers last week and then i see this! Visualization is REAL yall! Thank You STEEZY
Wow I actually love this. Great advice- bc I didn’t even know there was a difference between heights when we dance until about 2017 so... this such an underrated topic. Great idea
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS! I literally was trying to teach myself to dance recently, and I stopped bc I thought I was too tall to dance and that’s why I look awkward! THANK YOU🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The thing is; there is a big difference between being tall and having long limbs, having insane proportions when it comes to how long your upper body, your legs and your arms are makes you look awkward while dancing and it gives off an illusion of poor technique. You can be so tall and have proportionate limbs and not look awkward and you don't need to put much effort in not looking awkward compared to others with a less proportionate body. I am 5"11' (180 cm) and I have a very long arm span, resting my hands literally reach the bottom 3/4 of my thigh and it just looks so weird when I dance, that's what I'm trying to improve upon rn.
I am 5.6ft and I dance (in home, I dont take classes or something) since I was a kid. I am 17 yo actually and when I take videos of me dancing... bro, I have cried a lot but dance is my life. I don't know if I look so weird because I've never practice in front a mirror or because I always do a freestyle. I know how to move but I don't look as well as I always thought. So I started blaming in my height (and now, my weight as well because I'm 62kg and I hate my body). Idk why Im commenting this but your video, somehow, gives me hope.
I struggle with the same thing and often want to stop trying altogether but let's not! I don't want to give up, not only because I too, love dancing but because I'm sure I'll regret it. Keep going, exercise your body to strengthen up, and continue to practice! You'll get better 💙
It seems like I wrote this, I don't know where you live but you're actually not tall (in case that's your actual height) but if you have long limbs I'd understand the insecurity.
I'm 5'6 and I wanna dance but at the same I don't. I'm not a good dancer, and I feel like because I'm too tall to dance, or just because I'm not a good dancer. But even if I'm a good dancer I can't imagine being good because of my height.... I can't control my body too and my arms are too long that it makes my dance looks bad, even if I will be good at dancing, it will be not that good because of my long arms unlike short people, (not too short like 5'1 or 5'2 or let me say an average height) most of the dancer I see are 5'1 '4'11 like that, and thier arms are not that long, and they're so good at dancing. So that's why being short has a little advantage at dancing 😭 I came searching this kind of video. Thank u for this
*sighs* I’m 6’1, lanky and with long chicken legs. I find it fascinating how people can dance so smoothly to songs and seem so in tune with their body?! 👏 I secretly wish I could dance like they do but honestly I think I would look so silly🤣🤪 imagine a dancing giraffe made of jello...that’s mEE!!
With hands i guess always putting in the back of your head that you need to look out for your hands With energy you need stamina to expend i guess cause more stamina means more energy to spend
Im 5'4 and only have 42 kg thats make my body shape look weakness sometimes when dancing. And i trying too hard for my movements looking so sharp and makes me quite out of breath 💀 but im tryna learn bopping hope i can improve myself and gain more weight lol
It sucks cause I’m average size for an adult but I’m a head taller than everyone else my age. I also have really long arm and leg proportions and I look extremely awkward when dancing cause the choreo doesn’t fit my long arms. But I can’t relate to any tall people struggles cause I’m technically not tall (I’m 5’6”) but I just turned 13 and everyone else in my grade is like 5’0” or shorter. ;-;
see, i’m not even tall (163cm) but i have really long limbs, i’m quite thin and have sharp joints. i’m not that bad of a dancer but compared to other dancers i look more awkward and it’s harder to do floor work. squatting and other moves where you have to bend your joints are harder for me. any tips for that?
I’m mad short. (5’3) I feel like shorter people have a different way to emphasize the imagery of their dance because of their height and limb length. Could you possibly make a vid for short dancers as well? Love these videos. Keep it up STEEZY!! God Bless!!
So I'm short but have long arms, and I look so awkward, especially with hip hop & it sucks because I really want to get better at it but I have the hardest time moving as quickly because my arms hold me back. Any tips?
I’m 5’7” which is barely over average for for 20yo Woman but bc I’m skinny I have that “lanky” look & I was in dance kindergarten-Junior year I was always frustrated that despite how long I was in dance I felt like I wasn’t getting better & I didn’t even think about it being bc of my “lankiness” until a year after stopping dance classes. & both of my dance teachers were short & in general I do think I could’ve been in a better dance studio don’t get me wrong what they do is amazing but I just don’t think it’s quite what I wanted it felt like there was limit to how advanced you could go & also a limit being that there was never a how to “control your body/movements class” & also the fact that there’s a cut off for the dance studio being that once you graduate high school ur done.
I think Floris Bosveld is the best blueprint for all tall dancers. If you're a tall dancer, you will look way better doing big arm-swinging movement instead of doing small, fast isolations. Learn to dance with your upper body more instead of footwork. Your footwork looks less impactful if you're a tall person.
i am 5'8 skinny women i always felt i can learn dance no worries if i cant dance but today for the first time i felt i am far from dance i know i am not making any sense , but i dont think no matter anything will make me dance well that would be eye pleasing i hate myself i cant
When you are nine and you are 5’4 so you are considered tall in your class so you are always the lead because everyone else is the same height I am the lead in 3/4 dances
Dance solo. I'm 6.1 and sri lankan. All my friends have not even reached 5.5. Its funny cause I don't care they don't wanna dance but I pull them in and then I move to the back but if your friends are there even dancing on an abandoned building is amazing. It's in the fun. 😂😂🎶🎶🎶
i'm 13 and 6'0, I would take 5'8 any day lol. Be confident with your height sis, it's pretty. Your dancing starts getting awkward when you get to a taller range.
I'm 5'7 and a lot and i mean A LOT of short ppl tell me i'm so tall, but put me beside someone who's 6'4 i'm really not that tall. I'm in the middle (between short and tall) my dad says.
It's cool if you have nice proportions that don't scream *I'M TALL AND LONG* , I think the way your dance line looks when you're tall is weird 'cause you have like really long limbs and it kinda makes you look stiff and akward
I feel like the hardest part of being tall is trying not to look awkward when your low in a lunge or squat because dancing low is realllly weird for me. Video on comfortably dancing at a low level??

That categorized body for a dancer is skinny, and or slim fit. Not larger, so as a skinny dancer you have a more ideal build. versus a larger person.

Sometimes i feel so awkward when i was dancing . Because of that almost all of my clothes are oversized so i can make it looks bigger . And when i'm dancing to low choreography i kinda feel weird .
At this point you should just train your body to gain muscle mass, I feel that it's gonna be necessary for you if your gonna dance more in the future
Omg this is exactly what I need I’m a tall dancer and I’ve always been put to the back because of my height it’s suckkksss!

Hey Steezy,
When I film myself dancing,I often notice that my hand looks weird and that I lack of energy. Is there any tips for this? Thank you!
With hands i guess always putting in the back of your head that you need to look out for your hands
With energy you need stamina to expend i guess cause more stamina means more energy to spend

I'm not tall but the problem I have its that I have long legs which sometimes it makes my leg moves akward so I don't know what to do 😭
I think being tall like me 6,44 is an advantage and im a professionell dancer😊
ik as a tall person i should be doing my extensions no matter the speed but sometimes i get lazy and it impacts the final performance 😬😬
What about a 5'9" female dancer?
So I'm short but have long arms, and I look so awkward, especially with hip hop & it sucks because I really want to get better at it but I have the hardest time moving as quickly because my arms hold me back. Any tips?
Thanks guys!!!
I’m 5’7” which is barely over average for for 20yo Woman but bc I’m skinny I have that “lanky” look & I was in dance kindergarten-Junior year I was always frustrated that despite how long I was in dance I felt like I wasn’t getting better & I didn’t even think about it being bc of my “lankiness” until a year after stopping dance classes. & both of my dance teachers were short & in general I do think I could’ve been in a better dance studio don’t get me wrong what they do is amazing but I just don’t think it’s quite what I wanted it felt like there was limit to how advanced you could go & also a limit being that there was never a how to “control your body/movements class” & also the fact that there’s a cut off for the dance studio being that once you graduate high school ur done.
I think Floris Bosveld is the best blueprint for all tall dancers. If you're a tall dancer, you will look way better doing big arm-swinging movement instead of doing small, fast isolations. Learn to dance with your upper body more instead of footwork. Your footwork looks less impactful if you're a tall person.
I love love love tall guy
Plz some video making tips for too short person because I'm 20 year old girl with 4'9 height and look like a kid
I'm tall and very slim:/
And idk what to do
My body isn't that stiff it's just I started looking weird dancing
i am 5'8 skinny women i always felt i can learn dance no worries if i cant dance but today for the first time i felt i am far from dance i know i am not making any sense ,
but i dont think no matter anything will make me dance well that would be eye pleasing i hate myself i cant
When you are nine and you are 5’4 so you are considered tall in your class so you are always the lead because everyone else is the same height I am the lead in 3/4 dances
y’all I’m not tall I just got long ass arms and fingers that look stupid when I do anything😭
Dance solo. I'm 6.1 and sri lankan. All my friends have not even reached 5.5. Its funny cause I don't care they don't wanna dance but I pull them in and then I move to the back but if your friends are there even dancing on an abandoned building is amazing. It's in the fun. 😂😂🎶🎶🎶
I'm a 13 yr old girl with height of 5"8, and DEAD knees😵
i'm 13 and 6'0, I would take 5'8 any day lol. Be confident with your height sis, it's pretty. Your dancing starts getting awkward when you get to a taller range.
but yeah you gotta squat the entire dance through to fit in with the rest lmao
I don't know why am I watching this... I'm 4'9 😂😭
Sameee
The comment section is full of tall ass dancers and I'm one of them . Lol
I'm 5'2. Why am I even watching this XD
I do need this
I’m 6’3 and dancing sucks for me... I’ve been trying a lot but have to give 150% to not look awkward
I'm 5'7 and a lot and i mean A LOT of short ppl tell me i'm so tall, but put me beside someone who's 6'4 i'm really not that tall. I'm in the middle (between short and tall) my dad says.
It's cool if you have nice proportions that don't scream *I'M TALL AND LONG* , I think the way your dance line looks when you're tall is weird 'cause you have like really long limbs and it kinda makes you look stiff and akward
LOL couldn't say "average-sized" without making yourself giggle.
...it's okay, I never matured past 13, either.
