Unfortunately with dancing professionally it's a bit different. If you don't have the look or you don't have the stylistic ability which all can only come naturally, no matter how much you practice, your body will never move or look the way you need it to. You can have all the steps and moves down but if you can't make it look good, you won't get booked. It seems unfair and it is but that's just how it works
I believe that to be true as well to a degree. To be a successful dancer you need to be self-critical and know your weaknesses, if you know that you have the skills to learn choreo but you struggle to make it your own it helps to work on it, but may not necessarily get you anywhere which is what happens most of the time.
Jim withglasses but it's an advanced class so why take it if you can't dance aha. You would take a beginners. Don't join a car race when you can't drive lol
#ParrisGoebel always says it's not about how you look. You could be an awful dancer but if you have a passion and a drive for it she can teach you. This chick seems too far up commercial arse .
And they don't always mean ohhh that person looks better than everybody...sometimes they're looking for a certain look for a particular performance, or they're looking for a certain height, etc
She didn't say looks mattered more she said "get your look together" i.e. Whatever your look is, develop it because when you do auditions it's the ones auditioning you will remember(or forget)
Antoinette White i'm not really talking about what she says, i'm just saying in general the better you look the more you're noticed and what defines better
To anyone watching this who loves dance and now feels discouraged cos of the shit she said, don't worry. Being a famous or even well known dancer is not about knowing every dance style there is or being society's idea of "attractive". Dancing is something that takes people from all walks of life all over the world and unites them. People that learned how to dance in their garages are now stars, so don't take this little bimbo's opinion on what you need to make it. If you have the passion, keep going and work hard. Don't let someone discourage you from what you love.
I agree. There are many famous dancers who only know ballet or hip-hop or jazz. It's more attractive (to whoever is casting you) if you know more than one genre of dance but if you're excellent in your genre, you can make it. OT: but wow! Never thought I'd find a Bora fan here.
Well said. Her advice is only in the context of superfical LA. Plus she clearly doesn't work with beginners. If dancing is a passion then do it. It should'nt be based on someone else's success.
Iv seen other interviews & her entire demeanor says dude had her rantin bout how %&#'d up LA is, which isnt hard. Shes always been vocal & *critical* of the industry & *especially* LA. I respect that. Imo its BS how its presented & *so* many ppl takin her *criticism* as "advice" for dancers in gen. U wanna make it in LA? Thats how superficial it is. Shame, but its the Mecca. She'd never tell ppl *not* to follow their dreams. Shes jus bein honest bout the industry, as usual. Life's rough kids, wear a cup.
Looks can only get you so far. Real talent, working hard, and passion is what will win out a pretty face any day. Whatever your dream is, believe in it. You could be a full time student in college, working on your plan b, and still work towards your dream. Always be doing something, and you'll make it.
@@Vegan_scorpioo you’re right it’s just different perspectives but this lady is just trynna set her kids up for success. She’s not totally wrong, looking the part makes ppl look your way and your talent keeps their attention. But wow, this was like 3 years ago! Time sure has flown by!
Why are people bashing her. She was just being HONEST! I'm a dancer myself, and this industry is full of people that will lie to you and have you looking stupid! When she mentioned everything about your headshots, your look, learning how to do your makeup... that stuff is ALL true! The sad part is this people WONT tell you those things. They wanna get booked! They see you as competition! I respect Tricia for being honest and letting people know what they need to do! Espcially if you're trying to be a dancer!
For people who think like you, the world is full of mediocre people without talent who live unhappy because they never reach their optimum level in what they do. You have to be intelligent and self-critical enough to realize for yourself that although you are passionate about something, it is best that you do it as a hobby and you dedicate yourself to something in which you really are excellent, when you do not have that intelligence and self-criticism you need someone who Help you to see your reality, without passion and with objectivity.

Allison :) I love her dancing so much. She stands out everytime she dances, when she's in a group it's hard to take your eyes off of her. She's super passionate about what she does. I cracked up at that part, haha. Unfiltered honesty, I love it XD
Jeff What?? people adore dancers they are always talking about how they wish they could do that and i will admit acting is really huge but people think acting is lying on camera or on stage and that it's easy and it is so much more than that.
No not really believe it or not a lot of people laugh at you for saying you want to take a career in dancing (especially if your a guy) fortunately its not as much as it used to be. Its just that when you tell people you want to make a career out of dancing or entertainment in general they laugh at you because they think that's not gonna put food on the table when actuality it dose its just unfortunate that you need to have a certain "look" in order to be accepted among certain people. But you gotta keep pushing your self and use your haters as motivation you cant let them bring you down.
"people get booked just by their headshot....u need a makeup class and hair..." wow what about talent,hard work and determination it takes to dance!encouragement is key girl👋bye
if you are getting booked for videos and tours, i would say yes but they still need to kill it. all dancers need head shots if they are being booked for a gig just like an actor or singer.
lol..Even the interviewer was like..I would hope that a person's skill gets them booked and she said "not in L.A, ..I hope that won't make people think looking good outweighs the actual talent. I can see getting booked because maybe your looks caught the attention...but the talent will keep the attention and get you the jobs..
She's just being realistic and giving it to us straight about what it takes to be a professional dancer. She's not sugar coating it because she doesn't want to give people false hope. All pro dancers have to endure a lot because dance these days isn't just about choreo, it's about looks, fitness and acting skills. The pressure is real, as rough as she sounds she is just laying down the facts so we know exactly the work it takes to become a pro. But if you feel this path is your calling then by all means go for it, as an individual, you really shouldn't let other people's opinions deter you from being who you want to be.
I am a dancer and the struggle is real.People comment if you are not thin enough or expressive enough.Now I take dance as a hobby ,as the scope of having a proper wage and going famous is very less.The physical retardation is a lot to handle.Dance is my passion but it can never become my career.It is very difficult to have your passion as your career.I think whatever Tricia told was straight truth,she stated the facts.
If I would of quit dancing when I realized how bad I looked doing it I would feel so dumb because after only 2 years of dancing I have grown so much. You just gotta want to get better.
She's a friend of mine and we work in the same industry. Passion and encouragement is all I teach. But you won't see that in a 15 second interview. Most of the interview was cut out. ;)
The Ray you want her to tell people who can't dance they can? Or to lie? She ain't got time for that, she's choreographing/creative directing - you know, doing her job.Tricia is also known for being incredibly kind and supportive as well as insanely talented. If you can dance and those comments put you off, game over anyway
She seems to be a little to intimidating for her have done this a for while now.. Dancing should be stress relieving seems to me like she wants to be on the spotlight more then anything. She is blessed with skills and knowledge though.
Natural Beauty__ ask anyone who dances professionally- it is commonly understood and known to be stressful at times. We are bringing our A game to be the best, to stand out and to bring quality. Teachers like her want to see a good product. She isn't teaching for fun and we aren't dancing just for fun.
She lacks passion & there's not much to her, but she's a highly sought after choreographer, selling out classes, being interviewed by ABC News & with her own show on MTV...Not to mention she's been in the game almost 20 years. #girlbye
victoria hale yea I know but it's so sad that now you need to change this art to a simple job. Now to be a great dancer you need to act cool and have the look ( what she said ) and it's really ridiculous.
Tricia Miranda know's what she is talking about, a good percentage of her students get scouted from her choreography class video's. Performing at Superbowl half time with Missy to going on tour with Janet Jackson... If you ask me she is teaching and telling her students exactly what they need to know if they wanna make it. Her work and inspiration is amazing!
I'm watching this 2 years post production and it's so cool to go back and check out some of my favorite dancers who were just babies a few years ago. They look "all grown up" now like Jade, Kaycee & Sean #Seaycee 💕😁 If Miranda's comments were discouraging to you, just hop on over to Matt Stefanina's page!! He's had zero formal dance training (or at least when he started dancing in his garage watching UA-cam videos) & now he's one of the best celeb choreographers on the planet!
I'm just going to leave this here because I know no one is going to read this but I really want to learn to dance and become a dancer But I know I won't be able to because I don't have any outlet to go and take dance because my parents are the kind of people who are like "go get a real job" and all of this stuff and I just want to move and go do makeup and dance and be myself it just hurts so much sometimes to see people being able to be and do whatever they want and I'm here studying my ass off during thanksgiving break for the AP test finals ;-;
jimine Same problem with me but you have to be positive. Your parents probably say to get an actual job because becoming a professional dancer is very difficult, but it's what you put into it that counts. Go on UA-cam and learn dances... if there aren't any tutorials, put the video in slow motion until you get every move down. It's up to you to make your dream become a goal. Yes there will be negative people, but you can't let them make you doubt yourself. Be the best that you can be. Also an education is always good to have, no matter what you do in life the education that you have will guide you. Remember to never give up on you and Good Luck.
Tricia is so gifted. These videos are inspiring, incredible, I can't WAIT for this new show on MTV is it out yet what is the status?????? She has a God given GIFT!
WOW :D You can learn...And where there is a will there is a way...Money is not an obstacle...Excuses are....If you really want to do it...GO FOR IT!!!!
99% of these people will starve and never make it past being a waiter. Too bad. I love dancing but it doesn't pay for the majority of the dancers. Always be broke. Get your degree in something as you dance. Or don't and stay in that little shack.
i think that's part of the reason why she was talking about how looks are so important and that if you're not really good at it you shouldn't do it, because it's not worth it unless you look amazing and even then it can be dissapointing
zoombiw gurll you can be a dancer. but the industry in LA would be less likely to select you for the job. that's what she's letting you know. the reality of the industry life. so she's giving advice to combat that so your ugly good dancing ass can get selected for a paying gig. yes the world is messed up but you need to know this so you don't starve as a dancer out there.
THANK YOU. i feel like no one is understanding the video. Tricia miranda is saying that you can't be ugly if you wanna be a dancer in the entertainment industry...that's just reality, no matter how good or bad it sounds.
@@hellowhitepeople I think the person. who started the thread understood what she was saying just fine just because she didn't agree with what was said that doesn't mean that what Tricia said was not understood. it's vain, it may be reality but that doesn't make it right and people that feed into that way of thinking and that process are part of the problem.
Well... your own hair and makeup. The way it makes total sense to me is... imagine you booked a huge tour. The lead performer will have makeup and hair but that may not be priority for you. You could be one dancer out of a hundred - hiring makeup artists is easily a HUGE expense at that point. Also it's just smarter since you're basically marketing yourself and putting yourself out there. You don't want to give a makeup artist or hair stylist who may not have foundation in you skin tone or could damage your hair that much power.
Bri Obviously. They won't hire someone who looks raggedy. Stars want attractive people. Beyonce is not always going to want to pay for the dancer to get styled. If you can do yourself after a while that's a plus for them.
It's sad but some of the best dancers and even choreographers like Wildabeast Adams, another famous dance youtuber, has been declined jobs because of how they look. LA can be pretty superficial.
Bri look at the les twins for example. they can dance but they have swag when they dance also the clothes and accessories. damn they can even do their own make up. so yes that is important.
+Bri No. But in gen. it'd be a valuable skill & not jus 2 U, but to others. To be a leet *touring* industry dancer, not bein able 2 do ur own would hurt u esp. financially like mentioned. Heres how it is: U wanna dance w/ Beyonce?! Ok, but ur NOT Beyonce, ur tha b!$h *behind* her & U even DARE 2 rep her?! Gurl U betta be F L A W L E $ $ cuz thers 31MIL baad b!$hes rdy 2 take ur place 24/7/365. Its 1 reason I say Dancers R Athletes. Beyonces like tha NBA, Only a fraction of ppl will EVER be that lucky, but we ALL dream. They do it cuz they LOVE it & 2 inspire. The day its jus 4 tha $$$ is the day they should quit. Great point bout Willdabeast +ashante190. Not jus cuz he was turned down so much for bein dangerous lookin dreadlocked filthmachine, but cuz it *didnt stop him*. Theres all kinds of lanes Bri & the 1 he was lookin for didnt evn exist, so he created it. If u wanna dance +Bri DANCE. Who knows where ur journey'll take U. Yea some things help & some things dont, but dont EVER believe u *cant*. #206love
A lot of people are pissed but she’s keeping it real. I feel like when she said she pushes friends in another directions it’s because they want this to be a life job but she can see that they aren’t for it to be a life job.
I really want to go to Millennium in LA, but I'm so nervous! I really want to take Tricia's class, Jojo's class, and Evan's class SOOOO BAD! Has anyone taken their classes? I need tips on not being so nervous at a new studio.
You know who I love, Fatima Robinson! She would never turn someone away from their passion! She has the heart and soul and is a great influence to the dancing nation :) She also did not need UA-cam to make herself famous or her name known. Also none of her dance moves are the same. She has worked with every artist you can think of Will Smith, Biggie Smalls, Dr. Dre, Bobby Brown, Aaliyah, Backstreet boys, Black Eyed Peas, Mary J Blige, Micheal Jackson, Fergie, Brandy, Busta Rhymes, Gwen Stefani and that is just naming a few! She choreographed The Wiz, Save the last dance, Dream Girls and the Black Eyed Peas half time show. This is just a small portion of all she has done! This awesome lady has won awards for the films and videos she choreographed. She is the most influential person, choreographer in this world! In her interviews she will tell you it is tough but never give up, you live and learn, but she will never give you direction to move away from your passion!
If everyone would stop trippen about what she said and taking its damn personal you could prob learn something from her. Shes dropping game on you .. shes not saying you shouldnt dance at all . Shes giving specific advice for anyone who wants to be a professional dancer. If your smart youd listen to what she said and make it happen. Get your look together.. work on your skill and get your fundamentals down so that when you're presented the opportunity to be in an advanced level class, you have the background to actually succeed. The truth is the LA dance scene is not for the weak hearted. It's a huge beast and industry . She and other professionals in her position are preparing you for crucial moments in the performance and entertainment career within the industry. If you cant handle a class , good luck with going on tour and dancing in stage in front of thousands of fans. Shes not being discouraging. Shes being honest. if you feel discouraged, work harder.
Dancing is passion, I don’t do it for money, I do it because my heart is the beat of my drum. If you love to dance, do it. If you want to be in movies, do it! This chick had a combination of luck and talent, don’t let her smug confidence misrepresent that. Some people just need luck, and talent is something you can work for.
I am not one of these people that can pick up choreography quickly but I enjoy it so I keep going to my dance classes and I really really really think that I am improving even though sometimes I’m still doing the same exact moves I think anybody has the ability to do it it’s just that it’s a lot more quicker I know I will never be a professional dancer but I enjoy learning different moves of hip hop and street dance
I love my Tricia I'm a big fan.. however some of the stuff that came out of her and jades mouth kinda got me the wrong way..I know and seen some amazing dancers who weren't professionally trained and are doing pretty well. I'm guessing this is how people really are and think in LA...so so sad.
What did she say that was offensive...the reality that some people just can't dance, so she told them the truth? There's only so much a person can learn. To be a great dancer, it requires more than memorizing steps. Some people don't have rhythm, and that's something that CANNOT be taught, so I would direct a rhythm-less person to look elsewhere too. As far as the "look," that's just the reality too. You're look is what employers/artists see first, so if you don't have a look, then you won't get a casting. It's SUPER competitive, so you just have to play by those rules to get anywhere professionally.
Probably in L.A beauty and a nice body open more doors. Im so sad to hear it. because talent should come first. Anyway i love to dance but better still working and studying to make life better. Otherwise my future will be a dancing without a song LOL.
I wish instead of discouraging people from pursuing dance Tricia would encourage them but be realistic. She should tell them that they are going to need to put in 10x or 20x as much time and effort into dancing to be competitive in the field and that even still they might not make it, but she'll help them any way she can if they try. That way, if the person is truly passionate about dance she could help them achieve something with that extra hard work, or if they don't think it's worth it they can try something else.
Kennedy Monroe. I thought he said co-choreographer or contributed (one of the two). and the interview was about Tricia they aren't going to list the whole team. they'd be there a while
@tricia miranda. I was hoping it's not what you meant about LA in general not looking for dance ability. I understood the needing a look. when you are getting booked for videos and shows of course you need a look and headshots. you are still booking a job. it's all good.
I love her, she is my daughter's Hip-hop Choreographer 💗 She is Amazing!! Here's what I love about Tricia , she tells it like it is she's not going to sugar coat it for you and tell you your child is going to be a star when they're not they're better off at just being a recreational dancer doing it for fun she's not like a lot of choreographers like Abby Lee Miller who will lie to you and tell you your kids are star when they know for a fact or not just to get the money from you she's not going to do that she's not going to take the time away from her students that do have that talent to make it in a professional world not just as a recreational dancer and give it to the kids who are just recreational dancers she's just trying to be realistic. That's why I love her and I'm blessed my daughter is taught by her!!
I love Tricia. I feel like in this interview she didn't really get to put her words together the way she wanted them that's why she came off as kinda shallow. But I really think she meant differently
She did not grow up around black people but she is. Trying her hardest to look like an Around The Way Girl. I want her to look at herself in the mirror and. Stop it you are not a black woman for real.
if someone is passionate about something and they're not that great at it, help them improve. don't tell them to quit.
EXACTLY

Why does she looks like she could cut me if I tried joining her class without knowing how to dance. 🤔
cuz u probably shouldnt unless you know how to dance..
Its called a dance CLASS not a competition though. Shes supposed to teach not judge.
Jim withglasses because you should probably go to a basic dance class before a hard one
Jim withglasses but it's an advanced class so why take it if you can't dance aha. You would take a beginners. Don't join a car race when you can't drive lol

And they don't always mean ohhh that person looks better than everybody...sometimes they're looking for a certain look for a particular performance, or they're looking for a certain height, etc
It's sad that your look sells more than your skills. I pity this society.
Belen Morales that's one of the reasons I stopped dancing

All pro dancers have to endure a lot because dance these days isn't just about choreo, it's about looks, fitness and acting skills. The pressure is real, as rough as she sounds she is just laying down the facts so we know exactly the work it takes to become a pro. But if you feel this path is your calling then by all means go for it, as an individual, you really shouldn't let other people's opinions deter you from being who you want to be.
I am a dancer and the struggle is real.People comment if you are not thin enough or expressive enough.Now I take dance as a hobby ,as the scope of having a proper wage and going famous is very less.The physical retardation is a lot to handle.Dance is my passion but it can never become my career.It is very difficult to have your passion as your career.I think whatever Tricia told was straight truth,she stated the facts.
I knew that was Tricia Miranda!!!!!! YYYYYEEEEEESSSS honey!
I got a kinda vibe like, you cant dance, you should quit and find something else. But great dancers.
If I would of quit dancing when I realized how bad I looked doing it I would feel so dumb because after only 2 years of dancing I have grown so much. You just gotta want to get better.
I was waiting for Sean to be interviewed
PARRIS GOEBEL still kills her by miles. Especially when it comes to passion and encouragement to those who want to learn how to dance!
The Ray they're both great
She's a friend of mine and we work in the same industry. Passion and encouragement is all I teach. But you won't see that in a 15 second interview. Most of the interview was cut out. ;)
The Ray You're such a loser. You barely even know these people "successful people" and you start comparing them for what reason? 🤔
The Ray you want her to tell people who can't dance they can? Or to lie? She ain't got time for that, she's choreographing/creative directing - you know, doing her job.Tricia is also known for being incredibly kind and supportive as well as insanely talented. If you can dance and those comments put you off, game over anyway
Theyre equally fire, people need to stop pitting women against each other its WHACK.
Tricia is so amazing, I always wanted to be taught by her. Her dancing is so motivating.
She seems to be a little to intimidating for her have done this a for while now.. Dancing should be stress relieving seems to me like she wants to be on the spotlight more then anything. She is blessed with skills and knowledge though.
Anyone in the performing industry want to be in the spotlight. That's showbiz.
Natural Beauty__ ask anyone who dances professionally- it is commonly understood and known to be stressful at times. We are bringing our A game to be the best, to stand out and to bring quality. Teachers like her want to see a good product. She isn't teaching for fun and we aren't dancing just for fun.
Yeah....I am a dancer and I dance for fun as a stress reliever.
It's sad that image trumps talent... girls need to always have make up on and the perfect head shot is a must.. disappointing
Lora Hulbert sad but true
I don't feel the passion in their eyes .. They just dance with big mouvements and have a " great style " not much about them .
Kaycee and Jade are the truth.. watch their videos and jades choreo
Danna Pirova people forget yes they are passionate but this is their JOB not every moment is going to be intense passion
She lacks passion & there's not much to her, but she's a highly sought after choreographer, selling out classes, being interviewed by ABC News & with her own show on MTV...Not to mention she's been in the game almost 20 years. #girlbye
victoria hale yea I know but it's so sad that now you need to change this art to a simple job. Now to be a great dancer you need to act cool and have the look ( what she said ) and it's really ridiculous.
its always been like that, dont know what was different before.
Tricia Miranda know's what she is talking about, a good percentage of her students get scouted from her choreography class video's. Performing at Superbowl half time with Missy to going on tour with Janet Jackson... If you ask me she is teaching and telling her students exactly what they need to know if they wanna make it. Her work and inspiration is amazing!
4 real this lady knows wtf she's doing. Her choreo is amazing
I knew it was Tricia! All her choreography is amazing in my eyes😍
Love this interviewer he's so cool
Linh I thought he was kinda cool myself...he seemed really interested in dancing and not at all patronizing.
These kids are fantastic. I wish this type of dance was around when I was young.
Shes an amazing choreographer
I'm watching this 2 years post production and it's so cool to go back and check out some of my favorite dancers who were just babies a few years ago. They look "all grown up" now like Jade, Kaycee & Sean #Seaycee 💕😁 If Miranda's comments were discouraging to you, just hop on over to Matt Stefanina's page!! He's had zero formal dance training (or at least when he started dancing in his garage watching UA-cam videos) & now he's one of the best celeb choreographers on the planet!
"Because what else is there" 😜 love it!
Allison Claire, shes awesome
De4dByD4wn Is that her name!!? I've been trying to fins her IG forever!
Let's go Tricia! Inspiration for days
Y'all It's got a 10 second clip of Beyonce , nothing to see here...........She doesn't even describe her experience.
Vatrece Davis I "disliked" the video because of the deceit! 😂😂😂
Tricia choreo is amazing! Love her!!
I hate this planet
me too
Lol great thing to tell me 😂😂how passionate bout dance but I'm bout to become a massage therapist
Yes Jade and Kaycee! 🎉.
she came off arrogant...
Been watching her videos for some years now, I will definitely be watching. And lol at using Bey for click bait 😂
I'm just going to leave this here because I know no one is going to read this but I really want to learn to dance and become a dancer
But I know I won't be able to because I don't have any outlet to go and take dance because my parents are the kind of people who are like "go get a real job" and all of this stuff and I just want to move and go do makeup and dance and be myself it just hurts so much sometimes to see people being able to be and do whatever they want and I'm here studying my ass off during thanksgiving break for the AP test finals ;-;
jimine Same problem with me but you have to be positive. Your parents probably say to get an actual job because becoming a professional dancer is very difficult, but it's what you put into it that counts. Go on UA-cam and learn dances... if there aren't any tutorials, put the video in slow motion until you get every move down. It's up to you to make your dream become a goal. Yes there will be negative people, but you can't let them make you doubt yourself. Be the best that you can be. Also an education is always good to have, no matter what you do in life the education that you have will guide you. Remember to never give up on you and Good Luck.
L and K I'm literally tearing up at this comment this has made my day
I will try harder and dance on my laptop thank you so much ❤️
jimine No problem. I just hope you succeed and prove to everyone that you were capable to follow your dreams/goals.
L and K Thank you I hope you have a wonderful day!
jimine thank you and you too 😊
When he said Blood,Sweat, and tears at 5:00 I WAS LIKE BTS😀😆😂😂😂❤️💙
Im a dancer at my hip hop clubs. U seriously have a gift. Much respect :)
the interviewer's dancing skills were not awful, says a fellow generation 'X'er
She looks like the young Michelle Visage
OH MY GOSH! THIS SHOW IS MY DREAM COME TRUE!!! Im finally gonna watch MTV again
how the fuck is this news/??????
Ask Tricia Miranda's PR team -- It's business marketing...
What's it like? Well, you need earrings the size of wheel caps and black crayons for your eyes and lips, and then you're in.
Tricia is so gifted. These videos are inspiring, incredible, I can't WAIT for this new show on MTV is it out yet what is the status?????? She has a God given GIFT!
i wish i can be in that dance group.😢i cant dance but i want to learn. that group dances so good😌😌😌
plus my parents think that dancing class is to much money😢😢😢
WOW :D You can learn...And where there is a will there is a way...Money is not an obstacle...Excuses are....If you really want to do it...GO FOR IT!!!!
N Black thanks for cheering me up i love to dance and now that i know that i i can learn for myself is a good feeling. thank you 😊😊😊💜
99% of these people will starve and never make it past being a waiter. Too bad. I love dancing but it doesn't pay for the majority of the dancers. Always be broke. Get your degree in something as you dance. Or don't and stay in that little shack.
Thecrossforever I disagree. This is a new time and generation. You can make UA-cam videos or use online social media as a tool and be just fine.
Kiera Cats Exactly! Being popular and successful on UA-cam gets you PAIIDDDD.
Thecrossforever That's what I fear.
i think that's part of the reason why she was talking about how looks are so important and that if you're not really good at it you shouldn't do it, because it's not worth it unless you look amazing and even then it can be dissapointing
realness
OMG SHE Choreographed ONE OF MY DANCES AT A DANCE CAMP
so if i'm ugly and an awesome dancer i cant be a dancer because im ugly man that is shallow :(
zoombiw gurll you can be a dancer. but the industry in LA would be less likely to select you for the job. that's what she's letting you know. the reality of the industry life. so she's giving advice to combat that so your ugly good dancing ass can get selected for a paying gig. yes the world is messed up but you need to know this so you don't starve as a dancer out there.
THANK YOU. i feel like no one is understanding the video. Tricia miranda is saying that you can't be ugly if you wanna be a dancer in the entertainment industry...that's just reality, no matter how good or bad it sounds.
@@hellowhitepeople I think the person. who started the thread understood what she was saying just fine just because she didn't agree with what was said that doesn't mean that what Tricia said was not understood. it's vain, it may be reality but that doesn't make it right and people that feed into that way of thinking and that process are part of the problem.
So now you have to know how to do hair and makeup in order to be a dancer? 😒
Well... your own hair and makeup. The way it makes total sense to me is... imagine you booked a huge tour. The lead performer will have makeup and hair but that may not be priority for you. You could be one dancer out of a hundred - hiring makeup artists is easily a HUGE expense at that point. Also it's just smarter since you're basically marketing yourself and putting yourself out there. You don't want to give a makeup artist or hair stylist who may not have foundation in you skin tone or could damage your hair that much power.
Bri Obviously. They won't hire someone who looks raggedy. Stars want attractive people. Beyonce is not always going to want to pay for the dancer to get styled. If you can do yourself after a while that's a plus for them.
It's sad but some of the best dancers and even choreographers like Wildabeast Adams, another famous dance youtuber, has been declined jobs because of how they look. LA can be pretty superficial.
Bri look at the les twins for example. they can dance but they have swag when they dance also the clothes and accessories. damn they can even do their own make up. so yes that is important.
+Bri No. But in gen. it'd be a valuable skill & not jus 2 U, but to others. To be a leet *touring* industry dancer, not bein able 2 do ur own would hurt u esp. financially like mentioned. Heres how it is: U wanna dance w/ Beyonce?! Ok, but ur NOT Beyonce, ur tha b!$h *behind* her & U even DARE 2 rep her?! Gurl U betta be F L A W L E $ $ cuz thers 31MIL baad b!$hes rdy 2 take ur place 24/7/365.
Its 1 reason I say Dancers R Athletes. Beyonces like tha NBA, Only a fraction of ppl will EVER be that lucky, but we ALL dream. They do it cuz they LOVE it & 2 inspire. The day its jus 4 tha $$$ is the day they should quit. Great point bout Willdabeast +ashante190. Not jus cuz he was turned down so much for bein dangerous lookin dreadlocked filthmachine, but cuz it *didnt stop him*. Theres all kinds of lanes Bri & the 1 he was lookin for didnt evn exist, so he created it. If u wanna dance +Bri DANCE. Who knows where ur journey'll take U. Yea some things help & some things dont, but dont EVER believe u *cant*. #206love
that cool. I am happy for them. been watching along time..
A lot of people are pissed but she’s keeping it real. I feel like when she said she pushes friends in another directions it’s because they want this to be a life job but she can see that they aren’t for it to be a life job.
I also feel like she does encourage ppl but this is a short ass interview soooo we aren’t really getting her full say in the subject you know
I really want to go to Millennium in LA, but I'm so nervous! I really want to take Tricia's class, Jojo's class, and Evan's class SOOOO BAD! Has anyone taken their classes? I need tips on not being so nervous at a new studio.
nxrree Just go and give it your all, you have nothing to lose!
Bubbleg26 Awww, thanks!
You know who I love, Fatima Robinson! She would never turn someone away from their passion! She has the heart and soul and is a great influence to the dancing nation :) She also did not need UA-cam to make herself famous or her name known. Also none of her dance moves are the same. She has worked with every artist you can think of Will Smith, Biggie Smalls, Dr. Dre, Bobby Brown, Aaliyah, Backstreet boys, Black Eyed Peas, Mary J Blige, Micheal Jackson, Fergie, Brandy, Busta Rhymes, Gwen Stefani and that is just naming a few! She choreographed The Wiz, Save the last dance, Dream Girls and the Black Eyed Peas half time show. This is just a small portion of all she has done! This awesome lady has won awards for the films and videos she choreographed. She is the most influential person, choreographer in this world! In her interviews she will tell you it is tough but never give up, you live and learn, but she will never give you direction to move away from your passion!
If everyone would stop trippen about what she said and taking its damn personal you could prob learn something from her. Shes dropping game on you .. shes not saying you shouldnt dance at all . Shes giving specific advice for anyone who wants to be a professional dancer. If your smart youd listen to what she said and make it happen. Get your look together.. work on your skill and get your fundamentals down so that when you're presented the opportunity to be in an advanced level class, you have the background to actually succeed. The truth is the LA dance scene is not for the weak hearted. It's a huge beast and industry . She and other professionals in her position are preparing you for crucial moments in the performance and entertainment career within the industry. If you cant handle a class , good luck with going on tour and dancing in stage in front of thousands of fans. Shes not being discouraging. Shes being honest. if you feel discouraged, work harder.
Tricia: "it's all positive"
Also Tricia: "lol how about u don't dance and maybe just work as something that u aren't passionate about"
Shallow asfuuuuuuq
Didn't know LA was that shallow until I saw this, so much for the most liberal state in America.
Yes, LA is extremely shallow. but it's also not a state lol. i think the rest if caliornia is a little better.
I was watching her 16 shots choreo and that first girl was BOOOMB and now I'm in love....
Keep doing what your doing girl
HOW YALL NOT GOING TO HAVE CHARLIZE GLASS ON HERE!!! WTF!?
shoot i thought that was michelle visage
Ste Lo OMG yes!
LOL! I've always said that Michelle Visage looks like Tricia Miranda's twin.
paris is goebel wayyy better
Dancing is passion, I don’t do it for money, I do it because my heart is the beat of my drum. If you love to dance, do it. If you want to be in movies, do it! This chick had a combination of luck and talent, don’t let her smug confidence misrepresent that. Some people just need luck, and talent is something you can work for.
YES Tricia Miranda's choreo is hot fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am not one of these people that can pick up choreography quickly but I enjoy it so I keep going to my dance classes and I really really really think that I am improving even though sometimes I’m still doing the same exact moves I think anybody has the ability to do it it’s just that it’s a lot more quicker I know I will never be a professional dancer but I enjoy learning different moves of hip hop and street dance
Love you so much Tricia!
PARRIS GOEBEL would kill her off
I love my Tricia I'm a big fan.. however some of the stuff that came out of her and jades mouth kinda got me the wrong way..I know and seen some amazing dancers who weren't professionally trained and are doing pretty well. I'm guessing this is how people really are and think in LA...so so sad.
What did she say that was offensive...the reality that some people just can't dance, so she told them the truth? There's only so much a person can learn. To be a great dancer, it requires more than memorizing steps. Some people don't have rhythm, and that's something that CANNOT be taught, so I would direct a rhythm-less person to look elsewhere too. As far as the "look," that's just the reality too. You're look is what employers/artists see first, so if you don't have a look, then you won't get a casting. It's SUPER competitive, so you just have to play by those rules to get anywhere professionally.
mike12june what did jade said and where can I find it
Seriously, when Gabe and Kaycee were shown in the vid I went crazy😅
Luv Tricia 🌟🌟🌟
Jade and kaycee🎉
For a moment I thought she was Adrienne Bailon. She looks like Adrienne or Adrienne looks like her, anyway.
Good for her. Not everyone knows what their path in life should be.
Probably in L.A beauty and a nice body open more doors. Im so sad to hear it. because talent should come first. Anyway i love to dance but better still working and studying to make life better. Otherwise my future will be a dancing
without a song LOL.
I wish instead of discouraging people from pursuing dance Tricia would encourage them but be realistic. She should tell them that they are going to need to put in 10x or 20x as much time and effort into dancing to be competitive in the field and that even still they might not make it, but she'll help them any way she can if they try. That way, if the person is truly passionate about dance she could help them achieve something with that extra hard work, or if they don't think it's worth it they can try something else.
I'm here only for JADE!!!!! :)
I love passionate people like her!
How dare they leave Jaquel Knight out of the equation for the Diva choreography 🙄
I was thinking the same exact thing.
Kennedy Monroe. I thought he said co-choreographer or contributed (one of the two). and the interview was about Tricia they aren't going to list the whole team. they'd be there a while
Kennedy Monroe they said "behind the scenes"...... They didn't mention anything about choreographers.
Tell me how the black little boy from the react channel is in her class 😂 he's actually pretty decent tho
She's honest AF. Very talented 🙌❣️
blood sweat tears....
Choreography for music videos. Very cool! She's a household name now.
OMG IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU TRICIA!!! I used to watch u when I was in middle school when your UA-cam used to be patriciapink4u!!!!!
As a fellow Yuman, I'm proud of what she's become. Yay, Tricia!
@tricia miranda. I was hoping it's not what you meant about LA in general not looking for dance ability. I understood the needing a look. when you are getting booked for videos and shows of course you need a look and headshots. you are still booking a job. it's all good.
very talented tricia 💕
I love her, she is my daughter's Hip-hop Choreographer 💗
She is Amazing!!
Here's what I love about Tricia , she tells it like it is she's not going to sugar coat it for you and tell you your child is going to be a star when they're not they're better off at just being a recreational dancer doing it for fun she's not like a lot of choreographers like Abby Lee Miller who will lie to you and tell you your kids are star when they know for a fact or not just to get the money from you she's not going to do that she's not going to take the time away from her students that do have that talent to make it in a professional world not just as a recreational dancer and give it to the kids who are just recreational dancers she's just trying to be realistic.
That's why I love her and I'm blessed my daughter is taught by her!!
I love Tricia. I feel like in this interview she didn't really get to put her words together the way she wanted them that's why she came off as kinda shallow. But I really think she meant differently
She did not grow up around black people but she is. Trying her hardest to look like an Around The Way Girl. I want her to look at herself in the mirror and. Stop it you are not a black woman for real.
So this probably isn't an entry level class like anyone can come join and try it huh?
CreativelyKia it use to be. people still go and just pay but it has always been know for top cheorghers
awww okay thanks
Darrion ♥️♥️
Love watching Tricia Miranda and her dancers. She's an amazing choreographer. Keep up the great work!!!!
That's why PARRIS GOEBEL is so much of an inspiration for people who can't really dance, but want to dance!
Came for beyonce stayed for tricia, I love hard working women.
