    I teach dance also and I enjoy watching his videos, not to learn how to dance but to learn how to TEACH dance. Not only is he an amazing dancer but an excellent instructor. His style is clear, smooth, and patient. Thank you, Mihran!

    Its one thing to be able to do a certain dance move, but to know how to TEACH IT is a whole other thing. All great dancers, are not great teachers, so thank you for being BOTH. 😊

    i danced when i was about 7ish - and my life has been one of rock climbing, running, hiking, biking - the list is endless which has helped me remain unusually strong and healthy for my age. with graying hair but a big heart - i wanted to find a way to get my balance better, and i couldn't get what i needed from weights or yoga or pilates - and although my age is scarey sounding - i had to find something that was so different, my body had no other choice than to comply. you sir, are a great teacher and i am using your videos to learn some steps but mostly - to get my entire body in shape - balance and strength - and i am achieving this ONLY because of you and your talents. i am LOU and i am 66 and i'm in better shape now than i was when i was 18 - thanks to learning hip hop - i look like i would be in a waltz - but it was balance and strength that i found thru you and hip hop. i must thank you kind sir -

    One of the oldest dances...watch an old Cab Calloway video or Gregory Hines. I remember doing this to busta rhymes in middle school in the 90’s. It’s also a tap dance step.

  • @UMMrealLoud
    @UMMrealLoud 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi friends. Are you an Uber beginner who got discouraged by how much jumping there was? Me too, then I got a big old (stable!) chair with a tall back to hold onto. I would practice in super slow mo, just the foot movements for about 5-10 minutes at a time, a few times a day. After a week or two, the jumping got WAY EASIER and I got familiar enough with the motion that I could turn it more into a bounce than a jump, using less energy.
    Don't get discouraged, find a way to accommodate your concern, move slowly, and you can make progress on stuff like this! I have horrible balance, bad joints, lot's of floppy bits making jumping uncomfortable, no stamina, but I still can do a baby heel-toe for a good 30 seconds.
    (you can probably use a counter top or something similar as well, just something to keep you stable and lessen the impact on your body with the motions.)
    Thanks for the tutorial, I feel encouraged to learn other dances, especially the ones that I always thought I'd never be able to do. 💞💞
