    I think it is so normal as humans to not pursue just 1 thing our whole lives. I feel that there is pressure for everyone to choose one thing and stick to it as far as a job. The fact that you didn’t get paid from your TH-cam videos and still continued to do it just shows how truly passionate you were about it. I think it’s completely natural to go in a different direction, as when we do things over and over again, it may get boring after a while cause it’s not new any more. I’ve personally faced things like this throughout my whole life. I also have adhd so that may be part of it 😅
    But thank you for being honest with us. I’m sure it wasn’t an easy decision to make considering how long you’ve been making dance videos on this channel. I’m excited to see who you have on the channel in the future! ❤

      A lot of the popular dancers didn’t get it from Matt, but from their own hard work and being recognized from videos since they were 10. Kaycee for instance didn’t get popular when she was in Matt’s classes. Neither did Sean Lew. And then there’s people like Ysabelle who built her way up to the top herself.

    Truly admirable “storytelling” is the art, period. I feel hopeful for society with you being a leader for all artists! Your message screams “to be of service for others”.

I just can't deal with it and have no motivation to create. It's a rough time for artists rn and I'm glad he's advocating for authentic, meaningful content. I hope the numbers reward him for it.

  • @Kri_Kittens
    @Kri_Kittens 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +58

    Omg... I've only joined Matt's community recently, but never got to know his story since I'm still quite new here, and never took any of his classes. I remember seeing him on TikTok in Covid, but never realised the opportunities choreographers bring to their dancers through a screen. Matt, your story is so inspiring, and I admire your persistence and resilience so much. I'm not an og fan, but based on others' stories of success, such as Mr Beast, it's usually more based on deeper meanings, such as your new message here. I totally agree with this change and I really like it because it's a new idea - I've never heard of anyone who interviews dancers and shares their stories in such a chaotic industry, nor have i heard the stories of my own favourite dance teachers before, so you can be the one to bring them to the internet! I absolutely loved listening to yours, so I'd definitely enjoy listening to all the others. I'm all here for it and I'm really excited!! Please interview Kelly Sweeney and Guy Groove - the teachers who gave me so many opportunities, even from a world away, and who i appreciate so much ❤❤❤ I'd love to listen to theirs too.
    Please don't quit dancing overall though! You're an amazing dancer and we love you, Matt! Dancers can always find their love for dance again when stepping back from the industry. Think about it :)
    This is can get so big, I'm so excited. Let's go Matt, you've got this!!! 🎉🎉

    I'd never imagined myself crying on one of your videos. Few years ago, I didn't knew how to properly dance and thought to myself that I'll never be a great dancer. I've watched almost every single one of your videos from 2014 up to this day. Na Na was the first ever dance video that I've watched from you and it even had the names of the dancers at the bottom, but actually Slow Motion was the first ever dance choreography that I learned from you, and I learned it with the help of your tutorials back then. Few years later, I'm now a captain of my university dance team, and have danced in such big places here in my home country, the Philippines all because I learned from your dance videos. Hope to see you on tour again, Matt. Hopefully I can afford your classes when you come back here. Thank you for doing this, thank you for being such an inspiration, you will always be my first virtual dance teacher. Love to have you and the OGs back, Bailey, Ken, Sean, Gabe, Will, Josh, Kaycee, Tati, Taylor, Andy, Sierra, Sheadan, Soni and even Aidan.

I'm so glad you're not leaving TH-cam or this channel and believe that it is so healthy to do what makes you happy.

    Matt, i know this is one of a billion comments but you saved me. In 2017-2018 around when you made that tutorial for MIA i was out of shape and not feeling so great. I was over weight and sitting around the house eating feeling sad. I wanted to start getting fit and found you videos on YT. I was always into dancing since i first was able to get into club I had a tight group of friends who also loved to dance and we went to diff clubs and got the dancing started. People would be standing around waiting for the first few people to go out and dance,,, we were those few people. Then i was in ARMY and family stuff happened and then after my kids grew up I was sad and bored. You got me up and helped me lose 50 lbs dancing to your videos. They were hard enough to challenge me but not so hard i gave up. I was in best shape of my life after losing that weight and eating better bc of your videos. I would start my day dancing and working out. I got up to 50 pushups from 6 when i started and felt amazing. Then covid came and shut down my favorite places to go dancing and now I gained back that 50lbs. I need to start over too. I am 57 years old this year but i know what i need to do just have to get it started...lol I just wanted to thank you for your help with bringing back dance to my life.

    Matt, you have not changed just the lives of your dancers. I KNOW I'm not the only observer that has felt such visceral joy from you and your content. The inspiration we have felt as we have watched an entire generation of dancers grow - as dancers, but also as young people to adulthood. Thank you for all of it, and for what you continue to give.
    I loved watching Kaycee and Sean grow and transform, but the truth is that SO MANY dancers cut their dancing teeth on your channel. I know that you'll choose well.🥰💃🏼

    The young redhead that was in the "don't stop" video for Nothing More has always captivated our attention. She took that music video to a different level... My 12 year old autistic daughter is obsessed with your videos and is truly gifted at dancing. She picks up steps faster than any 'neurotypical' but we can't find a studio that will allow her to join. She did ballroom dancing for awhile but got bored and LOVES hip-hop and pop. I just want to thank you for inspiring her, and us. It's made a REAL difference in her life. We wish you all the best and hope that you continue to accomplish everything you dream.

    Matt you are the reason I started dancing. The energy that came from your yt videos it was so strong that I wanted to learn to dance even though I never had any thought of dancing before. I never had any studio near me to go to so your tutorials were crucial at the beggining. This happened 5 years ago and till this day my love for dance grows day after day. All of this happened because you posted those yt videos back then. You had a big impact on my life. Forever grateful for this. Thank you!!

    Been watching you since 2015 when I was 12. Can't believe how much time has passed. Used to love watching your videos since I saw other kids my age dancing and also since dance classes in my country are still to this day amateurish and lack that modern dance vibe.
    Your content really changed the industry of dance and inspired a lot of people.
    Can't wait to see what are the other dancers doing today!

I'm not a professional or even that great of a dancer by any means, but I had lost my love of dancing for a long while until I stumbled upon your channel back in 2016! And with your channel came many others that would pop up in my recommend and altogether just brought back my love of dance overall. I've been such a big fan of yours for so long and your choreography always get me moving. I can't wait to see what's to come. Your story is so inspiring and I hope you get everything that you've been deserving for YEARS. - A longtime supporter

    If it weren't for you I would probably not be a dancer today. I was injured for years and couldn't dance, but watching your videos kept the dream alive for me. I remember how so many times, as I walked on the treadmill to keep myself fit, I would watch your videos as I walked, and that would keep me motivated to be able to dance once again. Thank you so much. So glad you are not quitting. I was scared of possibly hearing that you would be shutting down the channel. Glad to hear you are evolving and taking it in a new direction. Sending you love and support! 💛

Your vids awakened something in me man! I would dance alone in my room doing your choreo until I eventually started putting myself out there on a whim. I’ve now had the chance to perform and tour all over the country and internationally to China, Tahiti, New Zealand, and Mexico. This is what I wanna do with my life man, and you helped spark that confidence in me. Keep changing lives bro 🔥.

    Thank you for sharing your humbling story. I've always wondered the stories behind the dancers, and from the outside, your appearance just comes across as an attractive, privileged white guy, and that's all most of us have to go off of. Stories bring in context to who is on screen.
    I've always considered Bailey Sok the version of me had I had supportive parent(s) - her energy, her flexibility, her moves. I never got the opportunity to pursue dance due to coming from a poor background and unstable childhood, but dancing everyday is what I look forward to when I can get to a point in life where I have the funds to simply pursue what I want and love -- dance.
    Your videos have helped me through the hardest periods of my life (assaults in the military, medical recoveries, depression, loss of future), and when I felt like there was nothing to live for and nothing brought me joy in life anymore, your videos reminded me that I could still be inspired and feel passion for something in this life.
