My dance teacher used to always say to take criticism as a compliment. If you get critiqued, it means that someone is paying attention to you and (most of the time) is trying to help you improve because they care about you.
I got chucked out of my dancing class because I wasn't improving. And don't misunderstand, I hold myself responsible for that, but I guess sometimes criticism isn't so innocent after all since it can lead to frustration and rejection (in this case not mine but my teacher's). Like everything in life it's a gamble and no one person truly knows which direction things might develop towards.
@@Andyp12 oh goodness, that's terrible! And I'm so sorry that happened to you. Yes, I agree; people are very capable of acting out of a wrong place in their heart. I guess everyone has to use their own judgment in each situation.
Yes constructive criticism is good but sometimes people especially on the internet just say "you suck". 😐 ok?? What do want me to do about it??? How do I suck?
lmaoo yeah same problem here!! I'm a ballerina at heart (even tho we need to breathe, the way i was taught was to suck everything in including ur breath) and it really shows thru when I have to do hip-hop smh
The reason why my dancing sucks: 1 I'm extremely shy 2 I have no confidence 3 I always think "that I can't do it" 4 I never get to practice dancing 5 My body is super stiff Edit: Thank you for all the likes and comments 🥺 I really appreciate it!
A thing that I used to do when I first started dancing, was look for a cute coreo, and delete some dance moves until I felt like the coreo was something I could do. In a month or so of practice, came back to the coreo and add a few steps, or change them all, but make them a little bit harder. It really help me to cordinate myself and the tempos. I used to dance upgrade U, it got a lot of energy, and there are some good coreos for it. (Not native speaker, sorry)
My dance teacher keep telling me to breathe while dancing and when I breathe she was like "you look so fierce and sexy while breathing and dancing" And I just laugh😂😂
even though the blood that contains oxygen is called arterial blood and that most veins carry blood that contain little oxygen, there is actually the pulmonary vein which transports oxygen-rich blood back to the heart
MJ FB I know that, but the pulmonary vein is an exception. The only reason it’s even called a vein is cuz the blood flows towards the heart and they wanted that to be the defining characteristic of veins. Also, I know veins contain an amount of oxygen, but it’s lower than arteries and it should preferably not be there. So people consider that oxygen flows in the arteries and that arteries contain oxygenated blood.
*"#3: You're NOT actually DANCING"* Yeah actually i hear kpop and just do the hand movements sitting on the couch edit: omg mom im famous now lol and im glad im not the only one😂💙 glad i made y'all smile :>
Sadly it's hard to find people who can actually give *constructive* critism. I mainly know people who would say something like: "You suck." "You can't dance." "Even a snail could do better." And when you would ask what you could do better, they just say: "I don't know, you just suck." Or friends are like: "whoa you're so good" And I feel embarrassed because on one hand I'm happy, on the other hand I feel like there's something which keeps me from accepting that comment...
DJ_SUGA EXACTLY. And sometimes I know I wasn’t good enough but I can’t get the feedback I want because people want to be nice or polite, or they don’t know how to critique, and it lowkey frustrates me
@@Arinaretina maybe you should start looking for people who will give you the blunt truth and ask them to justify their opinion. It would be even better if you asked people who dance themselves so that they can actually pinpoint what you should be working on.
What I learned: (seriously) Dancing is not just about having fun. It's also a way of telling how you feel, in other words it's a way of expressing yourselves through dancing and a way of telling a story. Dancing is also about giving emotions to your story, which makes it even more alive. If your expressing a dance all by yourself then you have to make sure that your moves are properly executed that way the viewers will understand how your feeling in your own perspective, and if your expressing a story with people. Make sure that the formation is simple but powerful at the same time by giving it life that way the viewers can understand the message behind the dance. This is why I love dancing even though I suck and my moves are stiff too but I don't care as long as I can be happy
@Emely urbina 25 if someone judges your dancing they are trying to give you more motivations for doing it better next time, don't take that mindset like "oh they don't like my dancing because I still need improvement" yeah something like that, I'm terrible at explaining
My SELF tips: 1. Be DEDICATED 2. EXPRESS yourself 3. Believe that YOU CAN 4. NEVER stop learning 5. Just ENJOY I always believe anyone could dance as long as you welcome yourself into it. Goodluck!

TBH. This is a lot of people in the kpop fandom... just bc you can follow moves doesn’t mean you can dance. It’s like playing piano, just bc you can mimic a musicians order pushing keys doesn’t mean you can play.
It also depends on what dances she's learning. Some people do the most basically kpop dances and are so fun to watch. Whole others can do the hard stuff and I'm sleeping
guys the „get into your feels“ tip is soooo helpful and really one of the biggest reasons your dancing sucks. i’ve been dancing for almost a year now and i’m far from perfect (i still lack a lot of body control. especially my arms) but one day i deadass started actually feeling the music and not only did it look better, but dancing actually felt fun and nice instead of like a chore. GET INTO YOUR FEEEELS
(Srry about my english) Before when I was learning a dance to a show or school ending and stood at home practicing it I always thought "yeah it's just rehearsal" so I never gave my full, so when the day of the show came I thought "now I have to give 100% "but I did just as I did when I was practising at home because my body was used to it and not to what the dance really should be so it looked very limp and boring .... so a tip is to think that there is a big the audience looking at you so that you automatically smile and give everything Hope it made sence:)
reasons why i suck: -when i dance i tend to make the dance really messy bc of my movements -it takes me a lot of time to learn the choreo and get it right omg update😩 i can now make my moves less messy and more sharp still with my style and now learning a choreo is much easier :)
@@b.vprithika hey! so let me tell you my dance journey i think i started in 2018 where i used to watch a lot of kpop choreos and then i started to learn them and i started my dance account. i continued doing kpop covers until beginning of 2020 and then stopped bc i wasn’t motivated anymore. at that time (beg of 2020) i had started afrobeat dance (level 1) which i did once a week. at the end of the year the dance company had a dance show and i participated. this year i wanted to dance more so i’m doing afrobeat which i am on level 2 now and hiphop dance! basically how i got better in dance was that i practiced a lot. i wasn’t good at first i was really messy and i didn’t pay attention to details in choreos. in addition to that i filmed myself and compared myself to the choreo i was learning so i could see the problems to then work on them! i hope this helped!
As a dancer I can agree with almost every statement on this list and they are all really important. But there is one I can think of and that's finding your own groove. Especially In freestyle this could make you stand out from others as it's your own unique way to move. To help develop this in class i usually the the choreo as clean as i can then add my own "flavour" to it. However dont always use it it depends on what the teacher or the choreographer wants at that time.
When I was a little kid I used to dance a lot and I never went to places to learn to dance, I only danced at home but then I moved to another country and stopped dancing but I still danced sometimes, my mom told me that she was amazed of how good I was at dancing because when she was young she often saw people dance on tv so she knew when someone is good or bad at dancing and I was good. One day I was at my school and there was school thing or something and we students who wanted to perform we could choose to dance or sing or do something to perform to school and I chose to dance because I wanted to so we had some weeks to practice at home and one day we had to perform what we were gonna do and when it was my turn to show what I was gonna do I danced and then I was finished...my teacher said that I couldn’t dance... but the thing is that the kids were nice to me afterwards and they just stared at me when I was dancing without making any sound and they didn’t even laughed at me and the words that my teacher said hurt me a lot because dancing is like my identity and when that happened I stopped dancing ...
Teachers can be assholes. My gym teacher once kicked me out for marking off a girl for her pacer and her pushups, she also got kicked out. I wasn't there when we did the pacer and I get it, something had to be done, but to kick us out of the class for the entire time was a bit far. I also remember that she gave us a lecture, which I think should've been the better option. Mind you that everyone hated her. I loved those teachers that are hard on kids, but she was the one I actually loathed.
Wendy Soyl i know im late but never stop doing what you love ,NEVER All of this people that are famous dancers were told someday that they werent good enough,but now they are amazing because they didnt stop
Hey don't let her Stop you. I too got the same remark from a teacher a year ago. It really hurt. Infact made me so self conscious that I stopped dancing. But you know what I love it. So fu*k whatever anyone wants to say. I'll dance. If someone's opinion is constructive then sure we should improve but what your teacher said wasn't. So keep on following your passion.
timestamps~ ---------------------- 0:30 -- I. you're stiff tip: you aren't breathing 1:40 -- II. your mindset tip: step out of your comfort zone 2:47 -- III. you aren't actually *dancing* tip: be in a setting, set up a story, anything to get in your feels 4:00 -- IV. you can't take constructive criticism tip: realize that this is the only way to know what you should work on, and in the long run you will improve!
in all my months of dancing i only did 2-3 dances max.. then i would lose confidence and stop dancing, today is the first time i danced 7 and a half songs without losing confidence because of the fact that i imagined myself in a setting or scenario that would go good with my moves and after dancing with those in mind i feel amazing and satisfied, it really challenges you cause you really do get in your feelings. thank you.
Omg this actually kinda helps, I was doing a dance to a badass song (snapping by Chung ha) and I realized I was to cheery not intense and badass enough. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
I think the tip about choosing a setting or character for yourself would be helpful in this case. You could think “I’m a badass mean girl at school who’s #1 in everything and a bitch with sass”, there are many options but I personally use this character for this dance.
This really made me think. Maybe I’m not always dancing and I hadn’t even realized it! Now that you’ve brought it to my attention, I can definitely say there’s a clear distinction between when I'm feeling the music and dancing versus just going through the motions.
As a dancer myself who figured all this out a year ago after several years of "dancing," I have to tell every person who's frustrated that it's true. Breathe, feel the music and be confident. It shows. And no, people are not gonna stare at you and make fun of you in dance class if you're "bad." People are either caught up in themselves while practicing and learning, or they look at the best dancing to get inspired. Try catching yourself and who you look at, too.
Recently I decided that I want to do more dancing. I’ve wanted to become fitter and get into a workout routine for a while. I always enjoyed dancing but my insecurities and laziness didn’t let me. I have sense of rhythm. I love to sing, always have. But I struggle with my coordination and sometimes balancing my body is tough 😂 maybe dancing will help. Also maybe I’ll be more confident and not worry about how I look... and then it’ll hopefully look better.
at first, I learning ballet on my own but then I more like dancing so I learn dancing on my own for 5 years and now I can learn choreography in few hours. so, if you love something and really really learn it then you got it. dont give up!
One of the best channel I ever subscribed after TED and Sprouts. All the tips are so useful. Definitely I sucked at dance cause I hadn't subscribe or seen their video. Thank you so much.
Just joined and did my first few basic lessons today. Finding the beat, shifting my weight, two-step, etc. Man, did I sweat, and I realized how out of shape I am! BUT! It’s a hella lot more fun than going to the gym and wasting away on a treadmill, AND I’m learning a skill at the same time. I am 35 years old, and only JUST NOW started believing that I could do anything I wanted to do. …..so yes, these are amazing tips for your dancing, but they are slapping down facts when it comes to life as well. Breathe, change your mindset, challenge yourself, and be whatever the hell you wanna be. (Oh, and don’t compare yourself to others. That too.)
I absolutely needed this; I've been meaning to diversify my dancing from Waacking and Voguing and other feminine/graceful movements so I began looking into hip-hop choreography.
Love you guys! I'm a singer/songwriter/character actor, and the breathing and "feels" have challenged me from time to time...good to be reminded. Thanks for all of your awesome vids!
this helped me ! i am a contemporary dancer and rn i was asked to join our school's hiphop group and at first i wasnt sure if i can do well in hiphop but since yall said i should learn new things i'll give it a try☺ new subscriber here🙋
i didn't make an audition today, and after i asked the choreographer, i wasn't even close. He told me that i was too sharp and i had no texture. I realized that i never developed any textures when i was teaching myself. I'm going to really start focusing on that more and try and put as much expression into developing the music through me as a catalyst. steezy has been an awesome help. thank you for everything you do!
I would argue with you Johnny, but I checked out your channel and I gave the copyrighted art video that you stole its 12th view, so maybe I'm the idiot here
Another thing to add to the stiff tip -- if you're not breathing, you can stiffen up your neck/back/shoulder without knowing making you stiffer. And while some choreos can require you to stiffen up your body, there's a difference in purposely stiffening up your neck and not. So it's good to breathe and really relax your body and get into the dance.
This was actually very helpful. I feel as dancers we get stuck in this mindset that we need to be perfect and or as good as all the other performers we see on television, on TH-cam, and etc. I haven't danced in many years because I thought I wasn't good enough/ and we just couldn't at the time. I recently got back into it and I find I get stuck in this mindset that I have to be a certain way to be a good dancer. Thanks for helping me realize some things that will not only better my mindset on dancing, but the dancing in general. I really appreciate it :)
it's been 1 yr since i first watched this video & many other vids about dancing. i can dance now. one tip in dancing is always make large movements, understand the dance, practice and believe in yourself :'>
Reasons why I suck at dancing: -I’m embarrassed to dance even in my room alone. -I give up easily and get VERY upset over little things -I don’t think I’ve ever seen a person more stiff and with less rythem then me. -I can’t even move my arms in a smooth way -I have horrible breathing control -I’m very impatient But guess what! I’m still gonna keep tryinggggg
I want to PROPERLY learn dancing. I love dancing and I started dancing when I was 10 (I'm 16 now). It's because of kpop, I started dancing not just to copy their moves but to DO the moves and how they really execute it. But Since that age, I never had this proper dance training. I just learn and do the choreography of each dance by watching a mirror version of it. I'm Confident that I Know the moves, but sometimes I'm not really confident if I'm going to show it. It feels like, as you said, I'am not really dancing. And I'm sad about that because I want to be a performer.
i feel like my dancing sucks because i havent been actively dancing since i was in elemtary school, (2010). and im not confident in my ability anymore. i felt stiff and uncoordinated. the breathing suggestion really helped, and ive been practicing more and more lately to get back where i was. im glad i found this channel.
No one will probably see this comment but Hi, I'm a generalist, which means I am or at least I consider myself to be skilled at multiple different skills(?) lmao- dance is something I've always wanted to add to my skill set but I've always been so self conscious about moving my body. Being a generalist, I've learned to link different skills that I've learned to make learning new skills easier. And the part that I love the most about it is that learning so many skills and learning how to get passed difficult days when I get stuck has helped me get through life and understand life better and it has given me a completely new perspective. It's brought me so much genuine happiness that I cannot explain. Watching steezy has really helped me get passed a lot of my mental barriers when it comes to dancing and I've found that there's so many things I can apply from dancing to enhance my other skills as well. What I love the most about steezy is that they really love what they do . Its always so inspiring to see such passionate ppl. Thanks for helping me unlock dancing and with it a new understanding to life . Luv ya
Thank you so much, I never thougt about this, please make a longer version with more awsome tips! It made my day and I don't know why, but it kinda feels likea therapy sesion. This really helped me change my mindset, thank you!
It's really impressive how all of your advices are actually SO GOOD for singing too! Thank you for your video, it will help me for singing as well hehe 💗
The reason why my dancing sucks: I used to di synchronized swimming, all of our movements had to be quick and powerful so that you could see them above water. So when you translate that to on earth, I look like I’m either exorcising a demon or possessed. Though I guarantee I’m a very passionate possesed dancer.
2# This is so true I’ve always been, I guess bored in the same dance studio all the time and I have moved a LOT but I have been taught so many new things that improved my dancing and now I’m trying to find a dance studio that holds a range of different teachers for one dance genre instead of one for each.

The best tips that I know is..
Just relax your body and feel the music
Enjoy yourself when you dance
Don’t hear people’s hate comments
If you’re stiff when dancing just keep practicing
If you’re shy, practice when nobody’s around
Keep practicing!!! You got this :)
that is so sweet
I also recommend recording yourself while practicing since we can’t see every movement we make while dancing.
When you record yourself and watch the video afterwards you can see if you lack energy/if your facial expressions aren’t good/if your moves aren’t sharp/if your moves are to stiff and more!
It helped me a lot bc I’m still a beginner but since I started recording myself I got better!

Before when I was learning a dance to a show or school ending and stood at home practicing it I always thought "yeah it's just rehearsal" so I never gave my full, so when the day of the show came I thought "now I have to give 100% "but I did just as I did when I was practising at home because my body was used to it and not to what the dance really should be so it looked very limp and boring .... so a tip is to think that there is a big the audience looking at you so that you automatically smile and give everything
Hope it made sence:)
Jinhit Entertainment how do you get over the nervousness when its your first time appearing in public?
Διονύσης Τσουκαλάς you’ll always be nervous first but but when u go on stage and if u have fun and smile it will be as easy as hell
@@lovestay3379 thank you for replying. Wishing you best of luck and success!
Thank you so much!! I think this would help me a lot
thanks!
reasons why i suck:
-when i dance i tend to make the dance really messy bc of my movements
-it takes me a lot of time to learn the choreo and get it right
omg update😩
i can now make my moves less messy and more sharp still with my style and now learning a choreo is much easier :)
for real
@@b.vprithika hey! so let me tell you my dance journey i think i started in 2018 where i used to watch a lot of kpop choreos and then i started to learn them and i started my dance account. i continued doing kpop covers until beginning of 2020 and then stopped bc i wasn’t motivated anymore. at that time (beg of 2020) i had started afrobeat dance (level 1) which i did once a week. at the end of the year the dance company had a dance show and i participated. this year i wanted to dance more so i’m doing afrobeat which i am on level 2 now and hiphop dance!
basically how i got better in dance was that i practiced a lot. i wasn’t good at first i was really messy and i didn’t pay attention to details in choreos. in addition to that i filmed myself and compared myself to the choreo i was learning so i could see the problems to then work on them!
i hope this helped!
@@b.vprithika but to dance good it didn’t take me days but years of practice! i would say in two years of dancing you would have a good base level.
As a dancer I can agree with almost every statement on this list and they are all really important. But there is one I can think of and that's finding your own groove. Especially In freestyle this could make you stand out from others as it's your own unique way to move. To help develop this in class i usually the the choreo as clean as i can then add my own "flavour" to it. However dont always use it it depends on what the teacher or the choreographer wants at that time.
When I was a little kid I used to dance a lot and I never went to places to learn to dance, I only danced at home but then I moved to another country and stopped dancing but I still danced sometimes, my mom told me that she was amazed of how good I was at dancing because when she was young she often saw people dance on tv so she knew when someone is good or bad at dancing and I was good. One day I was at my school and there was school thing or something and we students who wanted to perform we could choose to dance or sing or do something to perform to school and I chose to dance because I wanted to so we had some weeks to practice at home and one day we had to perform what we were gonna do and when it was my turn to show what I was gonna do I danced and then I was finished...my teacher said that I couldn’t dance... but the thing is that the kids were nice to me afterwards and they just stared at me when I was dancing without making any sound and they didn’t even laughed at me and the words that my teacher said hurt me a lot because dancing is like my identity and when that happened I stopped dancing ...
Teachers can be assholes. My gym teacher once kicked me out for marking off a girl for her pacer and her pushups, she also got kicked out. I wasn't there when we did the pacer and I get it, something had to be done, but to kick us out of the class for the entire time was a bit far. I also remember that she gave us a lecture, which I think should've been the better option. Mind you that everyone hated her. I loved those teachers that are hard on kids, but she was the one I actually loathed.
Wendy Soyl i know im late but never stop doing what you love ,NEVER
All of this people that are famous dancers were told someday that they werent good enough,but now they are amazing because they didnt stop
Dont let her stop you
Continue. People would always have something to say.
Hey don't let her Stop you. I too got the same remark from a teacher a year ago. It really hurt. Infact made me so self conscious that I stopped dancing. But you know what I love it. So fu*k whatever anyone wants to say. I'll dance. If someone's opinion is constructive then sure we should improve but what your teacher said wasn't. So keep on following your passion.
This is true. Stepping outside of your comfort zone allows you to learn other zones. I enjoy multiple zones.

0:30 -- I. you're stiff
tip: you aren't breathing
1:40 -- II. your mindset
tip: step out of your comfort zone
2:47 -- III. you aren't actually *dancing*
tip: be in a setting, set up a story, anything to get in your feels
4:00 -- IV. you can't take constructive criticism
tip: realize that this is the only way to know what you should work on, and in the long run you will improve!
tfw >
steezy just made you realize you've been holding your breath your entire life #stiffasastick
Cuhrean what’s tfw
Im serious
in all my months of dancing i only did 2-3 dances max.. then i would lose confidence and stop dancing, today is the first time i danced 7 and a half songs without losing confidence because of the fact that i imagined myself in a setting or scenario that would go good with my moves and after dancing with those in mind i feel amazing and satisfied, it really challenges you cause you really do get in your feelings. thank you.
Omg this actually kinda helps, I was doing a dance to a badass song (snapping by Chung ha) and I realized I was to cheery not intense and badass enough. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
Evening Afternoon yes the queen chungha
Snapping is badass?
@@sus-sq1uj well yeah
@@eveningafternoon7717 ooo didnt know
I think the tip about choosing a setting or character for yourself would be helpful in this case. You could think “I’m a badass mean girl at school who’s #1 in everything and a bitch with sass”, there are many options but I personally use this character for this dance.
they were so straightforward, love that.
This really made me think. Maybe I’m not always dancing and I hadn’t even realized it! Now that you’ve brought it to my attention, I can definitely say there’s a clear distinction between when I'm feeling the music and dancing versus just going through the motions.
"You dont have to get up"
They know we're all watching the dance video on our beds.
You can do anything when you have a good mindset
As a dancer myself who figured all this out a year ago after several years of "dancing," I have to tell every person who's frustrated that it's true. Breathe, feel the music and be confident. It shows.
And no, people are not gonna stare at you and make fun of you in dance class if you're "bad." People are either caught up in themselves while practicing and learning, or they look at the best dancing to get inspired. Try catching yourself and who you look at, too.
Recently I decided that I want to do more dancing. I’ve wanted to become fitter and get into a workout routine for a while. I always enjoyed dancing but my insecurities and laziness didn’t let me.
I have sense of rhythm. I love to sing, always have. But I struggle with my coordination and sometimes balancing my body is tough 😂 maybe dancing will help. Also maybe I’ll be more confident and not worry about how I look... and then it’ll hopefully look better.
at first, I learning ballet on my own but then I more like dancing so I learn dancing on my own for 5 years and now I can learn choreography in few hours.
so, if you love something and really really learn it then you got it. dont give up!
One of the best channel I ever subscribed after TED and Sprouts. All the tips are so useful. Definitely I sucked at dance cause I hadn't subscribe or seen their video. Thank you so much.
Just joined and did my first few basic lessons today. Finding the beat, shifting my weight, two-step, etc. Man, did I sweat, and I realized how out of shape I am! BUT! It’s a hella lot more fun than going to the gym and wasting away on a treadmill, AND I’m learning a skill at the same time. I am 35 years old, and only JUST NOW started believing that I could do anything I wanted to do.
…..so yes, these are amazing tips for your dancing, but they are slapping down facts when it comes to life as well. Breathe, change your mindset, challenge yourself, and be whatever the hell you wanna be. (Oh, and don’t compare yourself to others. That too.)
I absolutely needed this; I've been meaning to diversify my dancing from Waacking and Voguing and other feminine/graceful movements so I began looking into hip-hop choreography.
The fact that TH-cam recommended this after I watched BTS' ON Dance tutorial...
I swear I'm not offended
Army
Me: Last week practicing dance forever young of bp
YT: why you suck in dancing
I tried how you like that and took 3 months to learn🙄🙄but finally learnt it🥰🥰
Love you guys! I'm a singer/songwriter/character actor, and the breathing and "feels" have challenged me from time to time...good to be reminded. Thanks for all of your awesome vids!
I’m definitely going to try the breathing thing because I struggle with stiffness a lot :^) also I love and appreciate this content!!
I love that you don't only post dance videos, but also adress problems related to dancing and general advice! Absolute probs!
I’ll definitely start using all four of these tips, they are so helpful 😊 thank you so much Steezy! I’ll try the 1st tip today 😄
me: ok, let's do it, I'll do my best
0:04 *"yOU SUCK"*
me: well then
this helped me ! i am a contemporary dancer and rn i was asked to join our school's hiphop group and at first i wasnt sure if i can do well in hiphop but since yall said i should learn new things i'll give it a try☺ new subscriber here🙋
i didn't make an audition today, and after i asked the choreographer, i wasn't even close. He told me that i was too sharp and i had no texture. I realized that i never developed any textures when i was teaching myself. I'm going to really start focusing on that more and try and put as much expression into developing the music through me as a catalyst. steezy has been an awesome help. thank you for everything you do!
Who else died at 4:05
Its not even that funny
I would argue with you Johnny, but I checked out your channel and I gave the copyrighted art video that you stole its 12th view, so maybe I'm the idiot here
@@joneh9483 Well, it was funny them. Not need to put anyone down
I struggle with criticism and breathing💛 this video has giving me an extra step to actually start dancing seriously
I'm done!!! this was in my recommend list, is TH-cam trying to tell me I can't dance?!
the energy in you guys' videos give me life
Another thing to add to the stiff tip -- if you're not breathing, you can stiffen up your neck/back/shoulder without knowing making you stiffer. And while some choreos can require you to stiffen up your body, there's a difference in purposely stiffening up your neck and not. So it's good to breathe and really relax your body and get into the dance.
"You always do the same style"
...yes. That's EXACTLY WHY! Thank you guys so much!!!
I did NOT expect to feel so ATTACKED when I woke up this morning!!!
learning more about the names of the steps and origin
ALSO, DUDES!!! THANKS FOR PUTTING ME IN THE VIDEO! ❤️
This was actually very helpful. I feel as dancers we get stuck in this mindset that we need to be perfect and or as good as all the other performers we see on television, on TH-cam, and etc. I haven't danced in many years because I thought I wasn't good enough/ and we just couldn't at the time. I recently got back into it and I find I get stuck in this mindset that I have to be a certain way to be a good dancer. Thanks for helping me realize some things that will not only better my mindset on dancing, but the dancing in general. I really appreciate it :)
it's been 1 yr since i first watched this video & many other vids about dancing. i can dance now.
one tip in dancing is always make large movements, understand the dance, practice and believe in yourself :'>
@@b.vprithika not really, it depends coz it might be different for everyone
Reasons why I suck at dancing:
-I’m embarrassed to dance even in my room alone.
-I give up easily and get VERY upset over little things
-I don’t think I’ve ever seen a person more stiff and with less rythem then me.
-I can’t even move my arms in a smooth way
-I have horrible breathing control
-I’m very impatient
But guess what! I’m still gonna keep tryinggggg
I want to PROPERLY learn dancing.
I love dancing and I started dancing when I was 10 (I'm 16 now). It's because of kpop, I started dancing not just to copy their moves but to DO the moves and how they really execute it. But Since that age, I never had this proper dance training. I just learn and do the choreography of each dance by watching a mirror version of it. I'm Confident that I Know the moves, but sometimes I'm not really confident if I'm going to show it. It feels like, as you said, I'am not really dancing. And I'm sad about that because I want to be a performer.
You are probably the first channel that actually made me subscribe when I was told to 😂
Just started dancing a week ago...this is really helpful! Hn i also noticed that I'm hella stiff so i really appreciate the breathing tips.
Wow😮
You guys talked the exact problems that i was facing and the negative feedback was the hit one. Thank you so much ❤❤
Every time you tell a friend about www.steezy.co, you get +10xp added to your dance abilities. #SuckLessFam
This is true ^
ngl that was better pep talk and motivation than almost everything I've ever seen or heard.
0:45
I was like: "Noooo do I really have to get out of my bed?"
And then she said "You don't have to get up."
I was like "Are you watching me?😶"
😂💀
i feel like my dancing sucks because i havent been actively dancing since i was in elemtary school, (2010). and im not confident in my ability anymore. i felt stiff and uncoordinated. the breathing suggestion really helped, and ive been practicing more and more lately to get back where i was. im glad i found this channel.
Definitely putting the feels back into my dancing and breathing always breathing
I’m gonna work on the breathing and the emotion. Thanks for all the advice!
Hi myself
I was trying to dance Birthday and then this notification comes up...
Hii army 😊deary
O o F
I'm learning snapping right now so HELP!!
I already learnt bs&t and District 9, now I'm onto Halla Halla and this pops up...
@@vers6ce Woah wait- you learnt bst?? Wow... I'm just learning hala hala and lie by jimin
Go👏to👏open👏classes👏
Even if your signed with another dance studio, open classes are for everyone and a great oppotunity to learn new moves
Deffo need to get out of the fixed mindset stage
No one will probably see this comment but Hi, I'm a generalist, which means I am or at least I consider myself to be skilled at multiple different skills(?) lmao- dance is something I've always wanted to add to my skill set but I've always been so self conscious about moving my body.
Being a generalist, I've learned to link different skills that I've learned to make learning new skills easier. And the part that I love the most about it is that learning so many skills and learning how to get passed difficult days when I get stuck has helped me get through life and understand life better and it has given me a completely new perspective. It's brought me so much genuine happiness that I cannot explain.
Watching steezy has really helped me get passed a lot of my mental barriers when it comes to dancing and I've found that there's so many things I can apply from dancing to enhance my other skills as well. What I love the most about steezy is that they really love what they do . Its always so inspiring to see such passionate ppl. Thanks for helping me unlock dancing and with it a new understanding to life . Luv ya
Me: ah yes a cool vid
*start the vid*
“So....u wack”
Me: *cries*
😭😭
For real vibe is everything.... transmits the beefy and it’s more important than technique for me.
Hey, you just gave glimpses of new classes such as Brian Puspos and Jawn Ha 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much, I never thougt about this, please make a longer version with more awsome tips! It made my day and I don't know why, but it kinda feels likea therapy sesion. This really helped me change my mindset, thank you!

Sometimes im too stiff but u guys really helped and it worked immediately thanks so much.
0:56 fire from bts came onto my mind
Dancing is all about the feeling, you become the physical embodiment of the music 🎶 🙌 so don't learn with counting, learn with sound
Woahh woAhh wOaHh, I was just dancing in front of my mirrorr earlier and youtube recommended me this 🙃
Your government spy is sending you a message 😂
fbi watching u
It's really impressive how all of your advices are actually SO GOOD for singing too! Thank you for your video, it will help me for singing as well hehe 💗
0:19 I-I-I d-did i-i did
d-dont kill m-me.....
jahahah
Just 2 videos in these 2 already sold me. I’m subscribed
Thanks guys, good advice like always
I love how blunt you two are. Great tips.
The reason why my dancing sucks: I used to di synchronized swimming, all of our movements had to be quick and powerful so that you could see them above water. So when you translate that to on earth, I look like I’m either exorcising a demon or possessed.
Though I guarantee I’m a very passionate possesed dancer.
hard to believe you can't forget all that now that you're not in the water

This is so true I’ve always been, I guess bored in the same dance studio all the time and I have moved a LOT but I have been taught so many new things that improved my dancing and now I’m trying to find a dance studio that holds a range of different teachers for one dance genre instead of one for each.
