How to dance by xxdeefined

"Indescribable."

How I did it: I was breaking a little when I was 5.
Doing headspins and 6 steps.
At 8, I performed in a group for entertainment at a pageant.
9. I learned the C-Walk.

Looking at this. I guess having rhythm was something that was gifted? But I do learn fast.

Throughout the younger years, I had a craving for performing and dancing.

So I went for dancing in the school play at 11.
It was great.
Then at 14, I joined a hip hop group for a yr.
This is when my love for it grew.
After all that, I've been performing at my school's pep rallies.

Every day I dance. Even before bed!

So how did I do it?

  • Groove a little.
  • Know that you want to dance.
  • Take dance classes. Dont be shy.
  • Expand! PERFORM.
  • Grooove some more.
  • Love it!

or Not?



 

Lessons & tips:
So. I guess I started off with being able to have rhythm.
You just can't dance without rhythm :P
So listen to the beat of the music carefully.
Listen to a distinct beat that you want to follow when your dancing and go with the flow.

If dancing in crowds is not enough..(For me, it wasn't). Take some lessons offered. (I did)

Practice. Practice. Practice!
..and you'll get it.

Once it comes natural, you notice that the range in your dancing widens :D

Plus, maybe you'll even love it more.




Resources: YOUTUBE!
Watching Choreographers from professional studios can give you ideas if your wanting to create your own choreographed peice.

    I am renewing my long held love of dance and I can’t enough of the feeling I get when it all starts to flow together. People can’t fly, but dancing has gotta be close.

    Follow-up 4 months ago

    Last night I started stretching. It was nice to start the same day I decided I’m going to do it. No more waiting for tomorrow! I just finished my morning stretch. I checked out some ballet stretch videos on youtube and did all the stretches I learned in PE. It feels nice to do this for myself. I am so excited to see my progress!!!

    Stretching! 4 months ago

    I know that if I’m going to dance I need to stretch daily. I hate the thought of it because I’m sooooo not limber. I will stretch every day in the morning and in the evening starting as soon as I finish writing this.
