      The face mask one is a great tip but I don't recommend wearing baggy clothes all the time because you should see the form of your body clearly so you can know if you're doing the right thing. But I do wear baggy clothes just not all the time.

    So I’ve been dancing for like almost 8 years now, and I do want to add some tips that might be helpful~
    1. Make sure to stretch before you dance otherwise you may pull a muscle or hurt yourself (not fun)
    2. Be confident and don’t be really stiff with the moves (basically keep your arms and legs strong but dont keep them so stiff it looks like your movement isnt a flow) - i hope that made sense
    3. Learn the choreography a few steps at a time then go back and practice it at your preferred speed, then keep adding on more steps and practicing. When you feel comfortable with that speed and you’re confident you know the moves, you can try the normal speed (or a speed faster than the one you practiced with)
    4. You don’t have to use counts, you can relate some parts of the choreo to lyrics and then when you hear the lyrics you know the moves.
    5. For picking a song you want to learn: Pick one you really like or listen to a lot. When you really like the song, it shows in your expressions and dance, and it looks a lot better overall.
    6. CONSISTENCY is KEY! Don’t just practice it once and expect to do it exactly like the mv a week later 💀 thats not how dance works. Try to practice a few times a week, its easier to remember choreography if you practice that often.
    7. If you can’t understand a certain move, PLEASE don’t take the easy way and improvise. Go back and actually try to find out what the correct way is. It will look much more cleaner and not as sloppy.
    8. ACCENTUATE the moves. To you, it might feel like you are moving a lot, but to someone viewing your dance, it might not look like that, so in order to make it look as clean as possible, accentuate each move (make it look big)
    I hope this helps !!
    Btw~
    I might add more tips later on if I feel like there’s more to include, but this is basically all!
    I can explain anything in more detail if needed
    Have fun dancing

    I've been self teaching myself kpop dances since 2018 and here are some tips from me as well :)!!!
    (I have improved a lot so I think I'll be somehow helpful)
    1. Consistency is the key.
    2. Pay A LOT of attention to your facials and lip syncing. You can try to play kpop random dances and mostly focus on your face and not dancing. You'll look a lot more confident and attractive.
    3. Try to learn how to control your body energy. If you dance to both ggs and bg, like me, you'll have to deal with the issue that your energy will have to change. Bgs usually use a lot of aggressiveness and stamina so you'll have to get tired in order to look decent. Meanwhile, ggs usually use softer and smoother moves so you'll have to work on your body control mostly.
    4. Take your time. I personally need almost a month to learn a whole choreo correctly. It's not a shame being a slow learner. Just make sure that you've learnt it decently no matter how much time it took you.
    5. If you see that your brain can't focus or can't get it together, dance to other choreos you know and have fun. You'll see that you'll be able to concentrate better after.
    I hope I helped! Thank you for the video ❤️

      Dance in front of a mirror or film yourself on the phone(it'll help you to see your mistakes). Make sure that you know all moves and feel confident dancing them. When I was dancing "I can't stop me" I didn't pay enough attention to some moves. Then I film myself on the phone and that was horrible(some part was good while others were weird).
      The 2 most important things are practicing and enjoying. Idols practise for tens of hours(I always was wondering why I can't dance like they by practising just 1 hour😅). Slowly you will become more confident(as a result youtr dance become energetic and clear).
      Thank you for your attention! Maybe you've heard that tips and I hope they will help just keep going(Rome wasn't built in on day). Love yourself 🤗

      I don’t know how much this helps but I’m self taught (most of the time, I admit I have gone for some kpop dance lessons but they weren’t exactly professional, just to learn dances) but I’ve been doing kpop dances for 3 years now so... When starting out, I noticed that the others in the class already had their basics learnt (simple basics like head isolations, chest isolations, chest pops, body waves, simple footwork etc) I think it’d help if one takes time to do simple exercises that will help their basic foundation cause it will really help you. Your technique will be better and doing certain moves will be easier. Then you can focus on mastering the choreography better. Personally it has helped because now I’m really good in using my chest and head isolations.

      1) you can memorize how they count in the dance tutorials and can get it down with practice and you will get it crystal clearr
      2) record with the phone and analyse then slow the speed and imagine yourself dancing in front of you while you dance.. This is not only great for practicing but also performing and muscle memory💯
      3) you can buy an aux cord or the red+white (lmao idk the name) cord which connects your phone to the tv speakers.. Plus it's cheapp hehe
      You can do thiss💕

    • @melomfruit
      @melomfruit 3 роки тому +60

      this sounds kinda odd but head (?) movements matter a lot too so like turning your head to one side could completely change how it looks when you’re doing the specific move.. or maybe check in a mirror or record yourself and see what could be fixed to look better

    • @dancewithzin
      @dancewithzin 3 роки тому +39

      If you're working on your posture just make sure your head and shoulders are aligned and relaxed... Start at a slower speed and record yourself on the camera (really important) just make sure to not stress out if it looks bad and be patient (this was really hard for me lol) take a break and continue just don't be hard on yourself.... another way is to edit comparison videos/ side by side and analysis what looks good & make sure to not compare body types with the original and only the way they carry their body before and after every move..that's the part which causes stress or stiffness mostly but the results are guaranteed 💯.... Hope this helps 💕

      I’m a technical dancer and if you want to know how to fix your posture what you’re gonna do is pretend you have a high pony tail and someone is pulling it upwards try to straighten your back and pull in your butt suck in your abdomen and keep your shoulders down reach your neck up so it looks longer too now stay there and maintain the posture for the rest of the dance it will be hard at first but keep going and soon it will feel natural.

    I’ve been dancing for 2 years now and I never used counts ever. I guess I should do that more often lol. I also learned ITZY Wannabe in 20 minutes by studying it in a slow speed and copying the moves before standing up and dancing along with them at a slow speed. After I practiced I filmed myself and studied my dancing side by side with the dance practice. Ofc I watched myself at a slow speed so I could really see how well I did. I then posted my dance cover with a disclaimer saying I just started and I actually got a lot of advice. The people were really nice and weren’t too rude and judgmental. They gave me tips and pointed out things I messed up on. 2 years later, I got the moves down and it looks good lol

  • @crownde
    @crownde Рік тому +6

    i think something that has helped me tremendously is being more present. 90% of the time, we are idle, just using the body parts necessary. however, when you dance, you need to remember you have so many body parts to move! wrists, fingers, hands, legs, knees, torso... remember that YOU are the one dancing, not the person in the dance tutorial. and i recommend excentuating your movements too, because even though we may think we're moving a lot bc we feel it, to others, we are barely moving. I like to think what it would look like from someone else's pov sometimes. idk why it helps me.
    also remember to do every intricate move correctly. don't fling your wrists in random places, but, rather, do it in the order that the dancer you are watching is. hope this helps.

    4-5 years ago, I was learning the dances I encountered on social media. to be honest, the biggest factor in my interest in dance was social media. I stopped dancing for a while. About 3-4 months ago, I started dancing again after a long break. I know that I am improving day by day. Dancing helped me overcome my anxiety. When I saw that dancing helped me, I couldn't stop. Moreover, I have made incredible progress in a few months and I do not intend to quit dancing.

    ive been dancing to kpop since I was 12 and I got better and learned alot through the years- I stopped for a couple of years inbetween so I had to learn how to dance on a regular basis and you just learn how to feel the music and dance to it ! its really fun

    I am 24, and just starting dance now. Your videos reallu help. I find it so hard when practicing, and it was so hard for me to keep the rhythm and when I feel that I finally memorized all the steps. I look really bad. I think I just need to be patient and enjoy the process. Im subscribing tho!!

    The one with recording is so good! I remember me and my friend would like learn dances just using mirror videos and at some point my friend had the idea to record our dancing and it really helped us find our mistakes and stuff

    you are my savior, im was always slow at learning anything and I never really had a talent just hbbys when I found kpop it all changed, I decided I want to be a dancer but I was doubting myself asking where do I even start but you taught me believe it or not to believe in myself, and explained in a special way that nobody ever did

    I dance and workout everyday! I love dancing so much I have since I was very little I’m in dance but I won’t be going for awhile because quarantine and I haven’t had much experience with dance and I’m kinda sloppy so I made it a habit to stay home and do dances even if it’s just like 15 seconds I’m a very determined and hard working person so this helps!
