    If only every dancer had the same perspective on dancing/culture as Laurent does... This man breaths genuineness/humbleness even after all the fame he's experienced. Up on top of the list of famous people I admire besides Dwayne Johnson.

    Laurent is so intelligent and educated on hip hop and his perspective on it and his willingness to learn more and grow is so touching. He inspires me so much and really is the most touching and motivating dance teacher there ever was.

    he lowkey dropped a history lesson in the beginning. i love how intelligent and in tune with ppl he is..that's something that is truly rare these days

      @msjuyastreet6622 9 років тому +4

      ***** Yes he did...though he partially got it right. I'm from a different generation so him saying Dre is the king of hiphop always makes my teeth ache. Dr Dre is the king of WEST COAST/90s Hip Hop. I need him to speak with KRS1, Grand Master Flash, Russel Simmons, Will Smith and the remaining living members of the Funky Four Plus One to get the foundation. That and the stuff about Jazz not being "American". Yes it is. Jazz, Gospel, Blues, Rock and Roll and Hip Hop are music art forms created by the descendants of the Diaspora. They are very much American but specifically BLACK AMERICAN. Just like Samba is AFRO BRAZILIAN,. But I digress. Love that he loves and respects the history. May he continue to be blessed.

    I love how he explains his Egyptian dance inspiration by physically "injecting" their culture straight into his veins. Now he has a new "birth mark". Clever boy. Ironic that I wrote a piece about him 3 days ago, that only my twin sister had read, where I describe his effect on me in the same fashion; "...when he dances, he 'bleeds' a fiery hot blood that courses into my veins and drives me onward..."

    • @MiaCarter7

    • @annemayseyfried8907
      @annemayseyfried8907 7 років тому +1

      Mia Carter It's just lack of knowlege, not denial..I happen to be really into music (& study it), most people just enjoy music without much deep thought. Like, what do we know about the history of Japanese or Indian or even Hawaiian music, etc. :)

    Laurent is so awesome. I love that he's so lively and passionate about whatever he's talking about. Les Twins are so humble, sweet, and down to earth that sometimes I think they don't get enough recognition for that. I'm so proud of my loves.

  • @kontonsei8659
    @kontonsei8659 3 роки тому +4

    Listening to him and Larry talk about their experiences, makes me feel like I'm wasting my life. They really do so much and see so much more than we do. I am proud to be their fan and "family". Les twins are smart, creative, humble, kind and so so talented. Hope they shine for years to come. ☺️

Being humble and able to learn from other genius people he will no doubt continue to go on and on. The stars is the limit. I really love he and Larry. But just to listen to Laurent, you can't help but see and hear how special he is. Les Twins 4/ever!!!!!

  • @francescamosca6523
    @francescamosca6523 9 років тому +41

    I truly love this interview. Laurent said some precious words. I love how open they are to different cultures and the message that no matter how famous you are you can Always learn from other people. In a world where differences seem to lead only to hate and conflicts it's good to see that differences can actually make us grow and spread love. This also made me think that it doesn't matter where are you from, which Language you speak or how much money you have when you can communicate with the power of dance.

    • @allenvrabac4827

    This interview was so beautiful already with Lau sharing his love of seeing/meeting new people & learning new cultures but what made it even MORE beautiful was the fact that Larry shared almost the exact same story during his interview And something so innocent & pure as a child learning how to high-five had such an impact on both of them so deeply. Thank you +Step X Step for this!

    Thank You Laurent, and thank you step by step for posting this. I have been waiting for one of the twins to acknowledge the connected rhythm that exist between people of color throughout the African diaspora. it took a while but through their travels they see it. just like I saw a connection between the dances they were doing when they first started dancing and how it was very similar to what we were doing here in the United States. I assume they're older siblings may have had some exposure and passed it down to the twins.

    The music transforms your body. It takes control of your soul and releases something that nothing else can. I KNOW. IT'S YOUR SPIRIT. It's intimate, it's personal, you reveal yourself and even take yourself further than you imagine you can. I can't live without it! God give everyone a gift. It's our choice to accept it. He himself is actually the greatest gift of all. GRACE
