I was really scared to start modern and contemporary because I’m in highschool and everyone started at like 2 😭 but I just took my first class and I love it 😊
Dance has changed my life. I used to be very insecure about my body and what I looked like. But dance helped me overcome it. It taught me to be confident in myself and that nothing can stop me. To anyone who is insecure about body type dance helps over come that and besides it’s so much fun Love Kira ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Ballet helped me the most
I SOOOO want to try dance, both to get more in shape and to increase my confidence in my own body because I'm personally very self-conscious, but whenever I just dance whenever I'm alone or Jammin to music, I just feel so happy. This really helped, especially during this time where I can't go to classes, but I can use online classes. Thanks for this!!
oh my god, i feel the exact same way! anytime i’m alone in my room and i just start dancing around is when i feel the happiest 🥰 i’ve been wanting to get into it for a really long time now but i wasn’t sure where to begin, but i hope i can get started very soon 🤍
this was so helpful!! i am 16 years old and did ballet from ages 4-8 and ended up quitting because i didnt have time for it and 2 years ago i started taking contemp/modern/ballet classes again and i want to continue it but im not sure where to go but this definitely helped!
I really would love to do lyrical/ Contemporary but i would‘ve to drive there for 2h in total🙁😔 That‘s why I looove your online classes!!! THANK YOU FOR THAT!
When I tell you I love tf out of your channel lol....stumbled across this video out of nowhere and this push came at just the right time! it's been YEARS since I've danced - I was a dancer as a kid for almost 10 years until i feel victim to the distractions of 16 year old life lol. But I've missed it dearly! Thank you for the motivation to just do it!
Great video! My history as a dancer is 15-16 years of liturgical dance. I didn't take my first professional dance class till the end of my junior year of college (I only took modern for one semester). Now that I'm a senior in college, I've declared a dance minor and it has me taking ballet, modern, contact improvisation, dance history, and dance production. All this to say: it's never too late to start dancing a learning/perfecting your craft of dance! Just keep moving!
Thank you so much for everything you do. I used to dance, but gave it up for a “real career.” A decade later and some massive student loan debt and I realized dancing is my greatest passion. I picked it back up at 26 and now at 28 I’m halfway decent. I love Urban dance and belly dance the most, but I’m using your videos to learn ballet and jazz because I can see now why they are the foundation of dance. I have hope there’s still a chance for me to become a professional dancer in my 30s and I’m putting in the hours like my life depends on it. I’m so grateful to you and everyone who provides free and low cost tutorials.
Your videos have really encouraged me to follow my dreams and do ballet and now I'm doing a ballet summer camp this year! I can't wait or thank you enough for inspiring me to do dance and I think I might actually want to make this my career! Thank you again and don't ever stop making videos!! - Emily :)
This really inspired and motivated me. I am a 14 year old boy but I am somewhat flexible and go to a performing arts school. I could have more opportunities if i learned to dance so i’m going to a studio this summer and i’m very nervous. I want to take Jazz 1 and Beginner Ballet 1 but also Lyrical/Contemporary. Should I choose ballet over lyrical/contemporary for technique? I already have my heart set on jazz
Hi Auti! I’m not sure if you will be seeing this but I came across this video and your channel and I love it. Thank you so much for your help and advice. I have wanted to do dance for so so so long. I took a little ballet class when I was 4 or 5 but that’s it. I explored other sports throughout my childhood like swimming and gymnastics but my dream has always been to dance. I am now 14 and always thought it was to late to start or I would be a lot behind everyone. But I am now realizing that that’s not important. So what if I am not good. You made me realize that as long as I am passionate and I work hard then I can have fun and learn. Thank you so much and I am now looking at different studios. I am so excited to begin this journey. Again thank you so much!!!
OK so I am a fan of you and 2 years ago you posted this video and after watching this video I got really inspired so I took dance classes every weekend. And now it's been 2 years dancing and I love it along with that I will always watch your videos, thank you so much
Muchas gracias Soy de México La verdad donde yo vivo no hay muchas opciones a altos niveles en técnica por lo que tendría que salir de mi ciudad A pesar de no saber tanto inglés Me haz conmovido y me has brindado esa confianza para investigar, para hacerlo Eres muy linda sobre todo explicando y ahora eres una inspiración Muchas gracias ❤️
Glad I came across your video. When I was a child, I was always on my tippy toes, trying to be a ballerina! Or dancing like Gene Kelly in Singing in the Rain. Growing up in a large family; small rural community, my opportunities to dance were limited: summer nights in the moonlight, German wedding/polka dancing, High school dances. As an adult; 8:54 local clubs (Rock ‘n’ roll, country, disco 🎉😅) and festivals. And always, at Christmas in my home dancing to the Nutcracker ballad. My granddaughter will be nine years old this week and she has expressed to me her desire to dance… all over my living room lol. So to celebrate her birthday, I will share this video with her and we will contact local studios and schedule a drop in class. And, I have located a free expression, dance session for myself. Thanks for the inspiration 😊💃🏻💞
Hi Auti! I just started my first class and at first I was nervous because everyone else had been doing it for years but I absolutely loved it! Thanks for giving me the confidence to start!
Thank yoooou!!! I was really lost before. I wanna start dancing, I'm in love with comtemporary but also hip-hop. Now I know what to do, after decide which one hahahahahah. But I loved your explantation!!! All love from Brazil
Your channel is so amazing! I just got interested in dancing but I couldn't figure out what genre I wanted to do. You really helped me find it, thank you! :)
Thank you so much!! My dream is to become a dancer but I don't like the competition, so I was confused about my dream until I watched this video!! Now I know exactly what I want, and that is to be a performance dancer
I'm trying to find a dance style and I think I'm going to go for hip hop I just started getting interested into dance after watching UA-cam videos on hip hop dance and now I'm really determined to be good at hip hop dance thank you :D
I learn in a boarding school for art, and love dancing so much, but I'm in plastic arts.... Not dancing and being so close to dance and friends that dance several hours every week make me cry. I just miss dancing so much!!!!!! But because it's a "semi- professional" school I can't convert to dance because I'm in the second year... And still love art as well... Wish I could learn in your studio!!
Thanks Auti! I have done ballet at grade 1 but I stopped because of moving schools, I plan to do lyrical or ballet again. Thanks for giving me some tips!
Auti, these videoes are great and informational! Thank you! By the way, you never mentioned Modern, which is different from Contemporary. I didn't realize this when I mistakenly took a Martha Graham class, thinking it was Contemporary, a mistake that others might make. But I've been loving it anyway.
I’m 27 & I really want to learn ballet & lyrical. I hate that I didn’t start at an earlier age but I really became interested since seeing majorette dancing & how their background involves ballet & lyrical ❤️
Please miss auti record a video about your college dance degree because i really dream of learning dance in college and i really want to get informed about it by a reference i trust and honestly you are one of the fews i trust in what concerns dance so i would like to learn from you ♥ kisses and love 💕
I'm doing my trial in lyrical to night never danced before apart from what I have picked up from your videos (as well as some others.) Wish me luck XXX
You know what I have been dancing since I was 3 and I do all styles of dance like ballet lyrical contemporary acro jazz hiphop and even tap I do so many styles since Im on a competition team but my forte is contemporary and hiphop which ate totally hiphop I love dancing and it's my life Thanks!
It's Yanic if your heart is drawn to dancing, do it! Your parents always mean well but they can’t live your life for you. As long as you’re happy and you enjoy your journey everything you need to flourish will always present itself. Love yourself first and you will always find your way -justarandompassingthruexcuseme
thank you for this! i was thinking about picking up dance again after quitting because i had moved, and didn’t know what style of dance i wanted to try or learn. this really helped! 💕 -mushie 🍄
Just started class a couple weeks ago, and I really want to try out for my HS dance team but auditions are in less than a month. Any jazz intensives you would reccomend or any other tips?
ive been dancing for nine years and have done nine years of ballet, seven years of tap, and a year fo jazz and i am doing contemp and hip hop this year.
this really inspired me. i felt kind of in a rut. i’m doing about 5 classes a week not including show rehearsals. 3/5 are ballet and pointe classes and the rest are jazz and musical theater. i have been asking myself what’s the next step. i think i’m going to try out for my high school team, even though i’m a few levels below everyone else i just feel like it would be a great learning experience
Hey auti, I can't decide between ballet and contemporary. I wanted to start ballet like 4 years ago but I was really insecure about it and I told a friend and she didn't really take it seriously because it didn't seem like my kind of thing. I think I'd really enjoy ballet because of learning technique and achieving goals and when I watch ballet solos I always want to do that too. But on the other hand I would love to express myself through dancing and to let loose which is kind of the opposite to ballet isn't it? I love floor work and your tutorials to contemporary dances. So I don't know. So please help me
I’m not auti lol but I am a dancer and if you want to do ballet really bad , please go for it, try not to be insecure have confidence in yourself also don’t care about what other people think because they shouldn’t dictate your happiness. If you want to do ballet then do ballet, this is also a favorite dance style of mine. Then maybe after you have done ballet for a bit you can start to do contemporary and see how it goes. Then if you continue to do it later on maybe you can take ballet and contemporary classes in the same week, vise versa just know that it is possible for you to do both and hopefully this helps😊✨
I started with ballet but I didn’t like it and 4 years later I decided to do hip hop and I LOVED IT and after a year of hip hop I wanted to continue dancing so soon I’ll do jazz and I’m thinking about doing acrobatic dance cuz I love gymnastics but I like dance more I LOVEEE DANCE
I wanna start ballet but I’m 14 and my mom still thinks I needed to start at a young age. So I’m gonna TRY and prove her wrong so I’m gonna become way more flexible and get my splits down💜
Yaaaay! That's fantastic! I just turned 15 and have always wanted to be a ballerina but well.. I have no classes or teachers near me so I'm trying to learn hip hop at home since it's not as technical :D I really wish you'll get your splits and convince her. Now just a tip; I used to stretch for my splits and within 28 days with 20 days of stretching (between 15 minutes and an hour) I got my splits. Yay, right? Well, no. One of my legs hamstring got pulled and I lost my splits on that side. The other is still here but the other leg is still not fully healed and it's been 7 weeks or so. So, moral of the story, don't push yourself, take your time, relax, you have time.
I'm 21 and I've wanted to take ballet since I was 4 but I haven't been able to. Sometimes I get really emotional because I love dancing, and my dream for almost two decades has been to eventually go en pointe. I want to dance at a professional level, but I don't want to do it professionally, if that makes sense? It just feels like a part of me is incomplete because I can't express myself through dance the way I've always felt like I needed to. I do other art; I took violin and I'm a pretty good painter and singer but I still feel like something is missing and I know it's never too late to start, but it feels late if that makes sense? It takes years to go en pointe depending on various factors, and as an adult I don't know if I can commit as much as my heart wants too. So yeah, sometimes I feel like sobbing because I feel like there's this major part of myself missing and I don't know how to find it or be it or whatever and I don't know where to start bc broke college kid with zero (0) plans for my future. Balletophile doesn't even begin to cover how much I love it and have dreamed of it and how absolutely emotionally constipated and devastated I periodically feel. Sorry for going off, I just really needed to share this. I don't expect anything from this, but it's been nearly two decades and this had to come out of me at some point, right? Lol
So I have just been doing ballet and I tried out for my drill team and didn’t make it. Then I realized that ballet training does not include a lot of the skills I need and so now I am going to look into other classes so I can make the team next year. I need to learn a lot of tricks and turns and leaps like that. I’m thinking Jazz is the class I should take
I have always wanted to do ballet first I just wanted to do it because I was really insecure about my body but then I realized that's not actually just because of my body I actually really want to do it and watching you makes me so happy and starts making me feel like I can do it the only thing I have to do is to convince my mom and basically my dad but don't mind the username
Hi Auti - I’m 14 and about to start hip hope which I’ve never done before. I’m really scared because I was meant to do it with my two friends but they had other plans. I keep wanting to cancel but I know I’ll love it. Honestly I would have cancelled if I didn’t watch this video, so thank you! My first class is tomorrow - wish me luck🤞(also is it normal to feel like dancing speaks to you internally?🥰)
In our studio lyrical is very much like ballet but without pointe and then a lot of like tilts and all that with floor work. Lyrical also ofcourse means that the song should have lyrics in it which I like very much so lyrical is one of my forte style As for contemporary we have mostly instrumental music and the dance is very strong with fast paced sophisticated moves and laso some acro tricks like aerial walkover and walkovers sio
Hi Auti ! I've been doing dance since I was 3 and I'm 14 now and I want to start competing but my studio doesn't have a competition team. How would you recommend I start?
Hi Ti, I wanted to ask you can I get start dancing and become a dancer if I have low finances and can’t afford a dance class? I’ve seen some people say they learned dance through self taught methods like UA-cam videos and friends and just or acting on their own, basically they are self taught and they are successful at dancing and some are also professional and teach other people. I really want to do that both for my health and happiness and to advance in my career. As a little kid and adolescent I have had a lot of instances where people have told me oh you can’t dance because your not professional. However, once I danced at a party as a performance and they audience loved it so much I got money from those people!!! So I think the lesson is not letting people stop you and get to you and not letting a lot of people who say no or tell you you can’t do it to stop you from living your life the best way it is for you…
Hey Auti.. I LOVE your videos. Infact after watching them I could build up the courage to actually go and enroll myself in a dance class so thank you so very much for that. I am even trying to learn ballet through your tutorials. Also if you can do a video on college and summer intensives that would be great. I am in college now in a complete different field so if I were to make a switch to dance when would be the appropriate time to do so?
I looove dancing..well..I'm not trained but I find myself always dancing everywhere,in front of the mirror,with my friends,Like TOTALLY EVERYWHERE and now I have decided I want to learn dance and TRAIN..I would really also love it as a career.So..now I've started working on my flexibility and I'm watching videos like this to help me get started..I would love to do jazz and hip pop but HEELS😍😍..that's a mix?!..you know what I'll just do all of them.So my sister has advice's me that I should start practicing and taking classes this quarantine..and u don't really know where to start from?..So please I need your help❤🙏🏻
Hello I am in middle school and thank you this video was so usefull because I didnt know what to do I am self taught and not sure because im vary into and really great at it so thank you
I have a question so idk if I should do contemporary or modern I can’t tell the difference and it stresses me out😭 my style is more of powerful and not like graceful (if that makes sense) so which do you think is better and what’s the difference? Thank you:)
Hi Auti, you probably won't see this because this video is so old but I just came across your channel and was wondering if you had advice and/or could make a video about starting dance (or starting training again) for adult dancers. I know you said it's never too late but I only danced recreationally growing up and am now getting back in after a 10-12 year break. Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a professional ballerina, but never seriously persued for a few different reasons, and now I am 28 and it literally is too late to have a professional career in it (with a company). I do dance other styles though, so keeping my options open. I also am curious about post secondary education in dance. Can you elaborate on that world and if there is an age limit on that? Or do you have any advice? TIA.
hey Auti, really want to learn ballet and have been trying to teach myself though videos but can't get the hang of anything the school i'm going to after summer has ballet as a class do you think that could be enough for me to eventually get on point.
I'm 15 and I used to do ballet every week until I was about 13 and had to quit before pointe, I really want to start again but I'm not too sure if I would be able to get into the same class I was in before as I think that they are a few years ahead of me. Do you think I would be able to catch up quickly enough? Or would I be put in a lower class?
what are some college dance programs to take. how do you choose!!! I'm very overwhelmed. none of the websites i go to list actually classes or what programs are about
Hi I used to do gymnastics until I was 9 years old. I am 16 now. I really want to do dance but I am not too sure what style I want to do. Especially since I don't have any dance studios near me.
Been considering doing theatre at a place that requires dance and voice classes so I want to try Hip Hop but I’m in high school so I’m a bit worried 😅😬
Hey, i`ve got a little problem. I've got two hobbies at all. I play a hard instrument and play in a team a ball sport.Well my parents say that i only can dance when i don't play in a team anymore or not that much (i am in two teams).. but I want to get better in the ball sport i do and playing in two teams helps a lot. So what to do??? P.s. thanks for this great video!!!
Heey!! Thanks for making this video! It helped me a lot💛. So I started with ballet with 6 and stopped at 8! I REGRET THIS SO MUCH!! Now I am 17 and I wanna start off again. I can be very flexible if I practice everyday and I am a good dancer (I danced hip hop for several years) but I think that I am to old to do ballet professionally. Is that true??
Hi!! So at my studio it’s 75 dollars a class and it gets cheaper as it adds up, I want to do four. Hip hop, jazz, ballet, and tap. I’ve been obsessed with research and really really want to be a dancer, but it’s 200 dollars a month for four classes. And my dad doesn’t give me an answer to pay for two. My mom is paying for two right now and gives me her full support, but my dad gives my support but doesn’t want to pay for classes. We have the money he just thinks I’m exaggerating that I want to do all four. Do you have any tips on how I can convince him because this is my dream.
So I did ballet back then and many people told me start with ballet again bc it helps a lot with balance and stuff. I am gonna try ballet again but I scared it won’t fit me or something
I was really scared to start modern and contemporary because I’m in highschool and everyone started at like 2 😭 but I just took my first class and I love it 😊
Ria Mendoza don’t worry I took contemp much later than everyone else and look at me I’m doing everything they can do don’t give up!!😄😃😁
omg your so pretty
I’m gonna g to do private lessons, then maybe public x
hi im claire that’s not her it’s a model. Sorry lol I don’t mean to sound so salty
did people make fun of you ?

You should do jazz and lyrical/ contemporary but also take a ballet or technique class for technique.

Believe me or not you really got a unique name I've never heard of it in past 19 years. And I'm jealous.
New subscriber here this is gonna help so much! My moms gonna call a class and see if they have room for me but I’m not sure what type t start
Just started class a couple weeks ago, and I really want to try out for my HS dance team but auditions are in less than a month. Any jazz intensives you would reccomend or any other tips?
^ any that are happening right now in March???
it’s been a year, how’d it go?
I really love your videos cause I am trying to be self taught but I still don't know how to start out💙😅
ive been dancing for nine years and have done nine years of ballet, seven years of tap, and a year fo jazz and i am doing contemp and hip hop this year.
this really inspired me. i felt kind of in a rut. i’m doing about 5 classes a week not including show rehearsals. 3/5 are ballet and pointe classes and the rest are jazz and musical theater. i have been asking myself what’s the next step. i think i’m going to try out for my high school team, even though i’m a few levels below everyone else i just feel like it would be a great learning experience
Hey auti,
I can't decide between ballet and contemporary. I wanted to start ballet like 4 years ago but I was really insecure about it and I told a friend and she didn't really take it seriously because it didn't seem like my kind of thing. I think I'd really enjoy ballet because of learning technique and achieving goals and when I watch ballet solos I always want to do that too. But on the other hand I would love to express myself through dancing and to let loose which is kind of the opposite to ballet isn't it? I love floor work and your tutorials to contemporary dances. So I don't know. So please help me
I’m not auti lol but I am a dancer and if you want to do ballet really bad , please go for it, try not to be insecure have confidence in yourself also don’t care about what other people think because they shouldn’t dictate your happiness. If you want to do ballet then do ballet, this is also a favorite dance style of mine. Then maybe after you have done ballet for a bit you can start to do contemporary and see how it goes. Then if you continue to do it later on maybe you can take ballet and contemporary classes in the same week, vise versa just know that it is possible for you to do both and hopefully this helps😊✨
*Trending videos usually drive me nuts, but this i like:). With love from Russia:)*
I started with ballet but I didn’t like it and 4 years later I decided to do hip hop and I LOVED IT and after a year of hip hop I wanted to continue dancing so soon I’ll do jazz and I’m thinking about doing acrobatic dance cuz I love gymnastics but I like dance more I LOVEEE DANCE
I wanna start ballet but I’m 14 and my mom still thinks I needed to start at a young age. So I’m gonna TRY and prove her wrong so I’m gonna become way more flexible and get my splits down💜
Yaaaay! That's fantastic! I just turned 15 and have always wanted to be a ballerina but well.. I have no classes or teachers near me so I'm trying to learn hip hop at home since it's not as technical :D I really wish you'll get your splits and convince her. Now just a tip; I used to stretch for my splits and within 28 days with 20 days of stretching (between 15 minutes and an hour) I got my splits. Yay, right? Well, no. One of my legs hamstring got pulled and I lost my splits on that side. The other is still here but the other leg is still not fully healed and it's been 7 weeks or so. So, moral of the story, don't push yourself, take your time, relax, you have time.
I'm wanting to start dancing to improve my martial arts practice :D. Just gotta figure out the type and where to go.
I'm 21 and I've wanted to take ballet since I was 4 but I haven't been able to. Sometimes I get really emotional because I love dancing, and my dream for almost two decades has been to eventually go en pointe. I want to dance at a professional level, but I don't want to do it professionally, if that makes sense? It just feels like a part of me is incomplete because I can't express myself through dance the way I've always felt like I needed to. I do other art; I took violin and I'm a pretty good painter and singer but I still feel like something is missing and I know it's never too late to start, but it feels late if that makes sense? It takes years to go en pointe depending on various factors, and as an adult I don't know if I can commit as much as my heart wants too. So yeah, sometimes I feel like sobbing because I feel like there's this major part of myself missing and I don't know how to find it or be it or whatever and I don't know where to start bc broke college kid with zero (0) plans for my future. Balletophile doesn't even begin to cover how much I love it and have dreamed of it and how absolutely emotionally constipated and devastated I periodically feel.
Sorry for going off, I just really needed to share this. I don't expect anything from this, but it's been nearly two decades and this had to come out of me at some point, right? Lol
Can i just say that you have such a nice voice aha. Thank you for this video
Thank you for this video, i really in dancing now but i don't know how to start or what should i start first but you helped me alot
I do jazz already but want to start contemporary or ballet which one should I do (I am 10 btw)
So I have just been doing ballet and I tried out for my drill team and didn’t make it. Then I realized that ballet training does not include a lot of the skills I need and so now I am going to look into other classes so I can make the team next year. I need to learn a lot of tricks and turns and leaps like that. I’m thinking Jazz is the class I should take
I'm in my 20's, is it too late for me to learn contemporary or jazz? Thank you
I have always wanted to do ballet first I just wanted to do it because I was really insecure about my body but then I realized that's not actually just because of my body I actually really want to do it and watching you makes me so happy and starts making me feel like I can do it the only thing I have to do is to convince my mom and basically my dad but don't mind the username
Hi Auti - I’m 14 and about to start hip hope which I’ve never done before. I’m really scared because I was meant to do it with my two friends but they had other plans. I keep wanting to cancel but I know I’ll love it. Honestly I would have cancelled if I didn’t watch this video, so thank you! My first class is tomorrow - wish me luck🤞(also is it normal to feel like dancing speaks to you internally?🥰)
*hip hop
In our studio lyrical is very much like ballet but without pointe and then a lot of like tilts and all that with floor work. Lyrical also ofcourse means that the song should have lyrics in it which I like very much so lyrical is one of my forte style
As for contemporary we have mostly instrumental music and the dance is very strong with fast paced sophisticated moves and laso some acro tricks like aerial walkover and walkovers sio
Hi Auti ! I've been doing dance since I was 3 and I'm 14 now and I want to start competing but my studio doesn't have a competition team. How would you recommend I start?
What about swing? I have heard and seen it and I am interested. Even a mix,like swing/jazz. Where do you think I should go from here?
Nothing makes me happier than dance. Too bad classes are so expensive and that adult classes are hard to come by
Hi Ti, I wanted to ask you can I get start dancing and become a dancer if I have low finances and can’t afford a dance class? I’ve seen some people say they learned dance through self taught methods like UA-cam videos and friends and just or acting on their own, basically they are self taught and they are successful at dancing and some are also professional and teach other people. I really want to do that both for my health and happiness and to advance in my career. As a little kid and adolescent I have had a lot of instances where people have told me oh you can’t dance because your not professional. However, once I danced at a party as a performance and they audience loved it so much I got money from those people!!! So I think the lesson is not letting people stop you and get to you and not letting a lot of people who say no or tell you you can’t do it to stop you from living your life the best way it is for you…
Hey Auti.. I LOVE your videos. Infact after watching them I could build up the courage to actually go and enroll myself in a dance class so thank you so very much for that. I am even trying to learn ballet through your tutorials. Also if you can do a video on college and summer intensives that would be great.
I am in college now in a complete different field so if I were to make a switch to dance when would be the appropriate time to do so?
I’ve always wanted to get into dancing but thought it was too late cause I’m 18 lol
I looove dancing..well..I'm not trained but I find myself always dancing everywhere,in front of the mirror,with my friends,Like TOTALLY EVERYWHERE and now I have decided I want to learn dance and TRAIN..I would really also love it as a career.So..now I've started working on my flexibility and I'm watching videos like this to help me get started..I would love to do jazz and hip pop but HEELS😍😍..that's a mix?!..you know what I'll just do all of them.So my sister has advice's me that I should start practicing and taking classes this quarantine..and u don't really know where to start from?..So please I need your help❤🙏🏻
Is it possible to dance at more than one studio?
Of course!
Hello I am in middle school and thank you this video was so usefull because I didnt know what to do I am self taught and not sure because im vary into and really great at it so thank you
I’m happy it’s not just one because i want to do one and then try another after to see what I fit into.
I was thinking of starting acro but I'm 10 and most people are way ahead of me
What do I do if I'm way behind?
I have a question so idk if I should do contemporary or modern I can’t tell the difference and it stresses me out😭 my style is more of powerful and not like graceful (if that makes sense) so which do you think is better and what’s the difference? Thank you:)
I just want to kearn to dance so i can express myself to know myself better and To dance at my sister’s wedding. Inshallah☺️
Hi Auti, you probably won't see this because this video is so old but I just came across your channel and was wondering if you had advice and/or could make a video about starting dance (or starting training again) for adult dancers. I know you said it's never too late but I only danced recreationally growing up and am now getting back in after a 10-12 year break. Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a professional ballerina, but never seriously persued for a few different reasons, and now I am 28 and it literally is too late to have a professional career in it (with a company). I do dance other styles though, so keeping my options open. I also am curious about post secondary education in dance. Can you elaborate on that world and if there is an age limit on that? Or do you have any advice? TIA.
you’re on trending!!

I like jazz hip hop and contemporary 😭
I live in New Jersey, where can I find some place to learn dance contemporary or ballet? I’m 19 now and I really want to know about it :(
I want to start doing contemporary dance but I’m 14, is it too late to go into a kids class?
Beatrice Bennett I’m wondering the same
Idk prolly is too late for a kid's class but look up some classes not for kids or older people but like teens and in the middle
In my place they do mostly hip hop and Latin, I really want to try lyrical and contemporary or modern, etc... and that really makes me sad😔.
I feel the same. I love contemporary with my whole heart but i have to teach myself because there is no class for this genre at my place 😭😭😭
Is it worth to attend kpop dance class to learn choreography? Is it gonna help for future and can it actually improve dance
Auti, do you have exercises or routine for posture to no dancers?
@@trainwithkendall thank you!
When you take a dance class do they teach you skills or just choreography
It will depend on where u go but usually both
Great job with this video!!
hey Auti, really want to learn ballet and have been trying to teach myself though videos but can't get the hang of anything the school i'm going to after summer has ballet as a class do you think that could be enough for me to eventually get on point.
Can we learn Ballet or jazz at home because here in Norway there are not so good studios??? I also voted
Could you please answer fast❤❤❤❤
@@trainwithkendall Thank you so much😍❤❤❤
I'm 15 and I used to do ballet every week until I was about 13 and had to quit before pointe, I really want to start again but I'm not too sure if I would be able to get into the same class I was in before as I think that they are a few years ahead of me. Do you think I would be able to catch up quickly enough? Or would I be put in a lower class?
what are some college dance programs to take. how do you choose!!! I'm very overwhelmed. none of the websites i go to list actually classes or what programs are about
Hi I used to do gymnastics until I was 9 years old. I am 16 now. I really want to do dance but I am not too sure what style I want to do. Especially since I don't have any dance studios near me.
I am not at all flexible but i really want to do contemporary ....where to start from ....... plz reply
Vimla Jain start taking Auti’s online contemporary classes, then you can start doing actual classes.
Been considering doing theatre at a place that requires dance and voice classes so I want to try Hip Hop but I’m in high school so I’m a bit worried 😅😬
Don’t be worried. I was worried when I started hip hop too, but I went to the first class and I loved it so much and I have been doing it ever since.
I really like Irish dancing its fun
Hey, i`ve got a little problem. I've got two hobbies at all. I play a hard instrument and play in a team a ball sport.Well my parents say that i only can dance when i don't play in a team anymore or not that much (i am in two teams).. but I want to get better in the ball sport i do and playing in two teams helps a lot. So what to do??? P.s. thanks for this great video!!!
Heey!! Thanks for making this video! It helped me a lot💛. So I started with ballet with 6 and stopped at 8! I REGRET THIS SO MUCH!! Now I am 17 and I wanna start off again. I can be very flexible if I practice everyday and I am a good dancer (I danced hip hop for several years) but I think that I am to old to do ballet professionally. Is that true??
And I am sort of a late bloomer so I‘m still not over puberty and stuff because I thought that building up your muscles in my age can be very hard:/
Auti Kamal thank you so much it’s good to hear that from you!!💛 and btw you and your videos are amazing! You deserve much more here on youtube!
I’m not at all flexible but I want to start jazz. Would I be as good as what I am with my other dance classes that I take
In my area isn‘t a dance studio where I can take a class. Do you have a tip for me? (Sorry for my bad English I‘m German)
Hi!! So at my studio it’s 75 dollars a class and it gets cheaper as it adds up, I want to do four. Hip hop, jazz, ballet, and tap. I’ve been obsessed with research and really really want to be a dancer, but it’s 200 dollars a month for four classes. And my dad doesn’t give me an answer to pay for two. My mom is paying for two right now and gives me her full support, but my dad gives my support but doesn’t want to pay for classes. We have the money he just thinks I’m exaggerating that I want to do all four. Do you have any tips on how I can convince him because this is my dream.
So I did ballet back then and many people told me start with ballet again bc it helps a lot with balance and stuff. I am gonna try ballet again but I scared it won’t fit me or something
Can you do contemporary as a career?
