Ryan Heffington may be a little weird and spacy, but if you look at his work, you'll see he's a very talented artist! He is the one who choreographed the Chandelier dance for Maddie... for those who didn't realize that! ;)
I was kicked out of dance class when I was 5. YES, 5! I'll never forget it. Today, quarantined and watching Ryan Heffington's Sweat Fest and loving and actually getting the moves because of the way he describes them and teaches them. How one learns is ever so fricking important on how one teaches.
awesome. it's poetry in dancing. It goes straight into your innerness and when watching the dance, if use your mind it spoils the effect. And this video is like an explanation of something you had already understood, but couldn't put into words.
I don't think anyone could anticipate how insightful this narrative is. It doesn't come across as didactic but helps with adding to Chandelier, as a parallel story.
Wow. Didn't actually noticed a lot of these moves could be described in words like that. So simple, so amazing. I especially love two specific ones. "Reprimend yourself" - I don't know if he's the inventor or did he create this just for Sia but it's practically in every performance with Maddie. Chandelier ones and for example Elastic Heart with children in boxes. I'd like to think this is what Sia actually wanted to have. Maddie acting as her inner emotions is always reprimending someone or herself. I don't know what it means to her but it's so absorbing. And in Elastic Heart she first comfort one of the children then goes to the other side to scream and reprimend the other. It really reminds me of Banks "Fuck with myself" video when she recreated her head and started kissing and destroying it. It's like how you treat yourself. The other move is "imaginary friend" or "farewell song". Combine it with the song concept and lyrics and just go and cry.

This guy is über cool... I can't dange a jig but his look, the way he moves, the sound of his shoes a nd his fab tache are simply mesmerising. Well done Mr. H.
I love this , I love angles of it being filmed the sound of his shoes .. And the things he says for every move! I wonder is that what he done to remember the choreography??
His choreography for Chandelier is one of my favorites
the significated incredible
The commentary is funny yet it helps you if you are actually trying to learn. He's naming the moves It's memorization
Aaah so ryan its coreographer for candelier

Yeah he is weird af but also is grandiosely talented
weird and spacy? violet, you're incredibly boring and concrete
He was also part of the music/dance project We Are The World, I recommend you check that, it's awsome as well.
Does he have a channel?🌸
I think it says it in the title haha
watching this video is the closest i have ever come to meditating and the sound of his shoes is so therapeutic
You should look up ASMR videos, if you haven't already. I feel like they would appeal to you..you'll see what I mean lol
LMAOOO i had never heard of her but i see what you mean. I only wish she had tap shoes in her mouth...
Brilliant. This is someone with a creative mind.
I didn't know Borat became a coreographer. Good for him.
Amazing. Somehow the sound of the shoes tapping adds a lot to this video. I enjoyed it, don't know what to say.
This is a beautiful thing to watch

The beauty that is Maddie Z the power of Sia the choreography of Ryan H = absolute fucking magic.
Holy shit. He's so good.
not only is it descriptive dance moves, but it tells the story of the song/video
fr like the IV bit is him cutting his veins then he waves goodbye
what is the story
@@hninthazinpwint4572 the struggle with addiction with alcohol, drugs and hardcore parties. Dealing with anxiety, depression, the pain of not thinking your enough and the feeling of a long lasting void
his commentary just makes this absolutely hilarious
He was in Rupaul's Drag Race! Damn, good to see him again.

They each have a meaning like the IV one is him cutting his veins and then he waves goodbye which is bc hes supposed to be committing suicide he calls the wave imaginary friend

Like, I understand this is suppose to be a joke, but the things he’s calling the “moves” IS what the song is about.

Wow so that's how you describe the moves! So interesting and depending on who is doing it, it shows differently
So brilliant. What a work of art this man

I came here after watching the OA
Dude, me too! It was just a bizarre moment when I was skipping the titles but when I saw "movements designed...." I had to stop!
Plz plz plz plz plz plz plz can someone tell me what the sideways twist in bridge maddie does in the video is called?? He doesn't cover it in this vid
