10 Things That Make You A Bad Dancer | STEEZY.CO

[@itsakanksha.k]

“Ok, so you binge watch all of our videos but do you do anything about it?” i feel personally attacked LOOL

[@caramel_rxse3951]

Same LOL

[@mashihodpotatoetm4572]

Same tho😂

[@joe0568]

SAME I always watch them at night in bed and then the next day I don't have the motivation anymore..

[@okokalito]

Same 😂

[@emchansuson5123]

[@alyssanguyen9704]

Why I suck at dancing: - no confidence - embarrassed - negative mindset - can’t transition into moves - can’t body roll or wave my body

[@nakanaf]

One word. Practice.

[@zainm7815]

I used to not be able to body roll either 😔 it took me like two months to get it down but all you gotta work on is isolations. Isolate your head, chest, stomach, pelvis by sticking each one out in that order. If you wanna body roll upwards isolate your knees to pelvis to stomach to chest to head. It’s gonna take time get it to flow but you just gotta get the movement down first and then you’ll be able to flow through it as your body gets used to the movement

[@twice8091]

The reason you might lack confidence is bc you comparing yourself to other fantastic dancers you’ve seen, try having more fun rather than trying to be as good as your favorite dancer it might help, it helped me a bit :) (btw i’m only a beginniner i’ve been dancing for a few months 🤧)

[@salihaabdousaid3054]

Got to practice (: 💜

[@mikashichan]

I can relate to those first three so bad like a 100%

[@profjawaharthakur5626]

bruhhh their tips are seriously helpful and like i can relate so bad w them, they are good teachers as well and their humor adds fun to it, why in the hell they are so underratedd!!!!!!!

[@SanDiegoPromotercom]

Yeah your right, underrated is the key term

[@steezystudio]

🥺👉👈

[@marzblaq7267]

God I need to get my budget together. I miss my STEEZY classes 😭😭😭

[@dk.kovers8870]

Do they have online classes????

[@illicitpyro]

[@Ransom.person999]

Wish i could take one class but i live in Germany lol

[@dievicii]

@@Ransom.person999 you can use their website anyway as far as I know and pay for it (since they have online classes).. I'm living in germany too but the classes remain in english probably But of course it would be better to be in their "real classes"

[@minariminari3278]

I swear the close your eyes when you dance tip is really helpful! When I try to dance to a random music i hear and have my eyes open, I'm like "HOW DO I MOVEE!!" and I panic. But when I close my eyes, moves just pop out from no where like magic!

[@tl03rizz19]

Same here. I wonder why that is?

[@ramsaygordon7686]

TL03RIZZ Possibly because when your eyes are closed you can focus on the music and how you feel when you move as opposed to how you look.

[@kpuffstuffs4179]

Yes, I noticed it too. It's like when you close your eyes, the magic comes out lmao

[@Jxdedaeri]

“ARE YOU WRITING DOWN RIGHT NOW?!” Sir I’m on the 🚽

[@fwoggangidk]

LMAO SAME

[@BilliamTurner]

You have paper, what's the problem?

[@emmaaaaaa62442]

@@Jxdedaeri NO WAY SAME LMAO

[@Nunmisonu]

Reasons from the video: 1. Because you think you are a bad dancer. ( overall negative mindset, theres a difference between im a bad dancer & I have a lot to learn ) 2. Fixed definition on what bad dancing is. ( there isnt really such thing as GOOD dancing, similar to how theres no such thing as GOOD hair. It's all a matter of perspective) 3. never got proper foundation training. 4. haven't taken action 5. you're too focused on speed. 6. Overcomplicating the process. 7. Stiffness. 8. The music youre trying to dance to 9. Trying to do what you see, rather than what you feel. 10. Leaving out movement history. Watch the video for their explanations :)

[@____yeojinnie]

thank you! i needed a summary:)

[@akiharu678]

"Are you writing these down?!" Me: I- "You're not writing these down!" Me: I-It's 2am...

[@de341f6]

My foundations were really in ballet, so when I tried other styles of dance it always had an undertone of softness. It's so hard to unlearn.

[@nareshkumarmajji8697]

You don't have to unlearn it's all about finding connections in different dance styles

[@shadowvenger20]

Understandable. But there’s no need to unlearn it. We all take various life experiences and influences into our dancing, and that includes other dance styles. You’ll find other dancers will strive to work towards the softness and grace you get from ballet, while you’re trying to incorporate edge and sharpness into your dance.

[@charalv7924]

That will make your own style and you will get recognition from that, so don't try to unlearn it ! It's actually pretty dang cool to dance, for example, hip-hop with a ballet style ! I really mean it, there is one guy in the K-pop industry I know (not personally) who has a ballet style while dancing and damn, Jimin of BTS if you wanna check it out ^^

[@np-cos4065]

I totally understand! My foundations are in ballroom dance and I mostly did Lindy Hop (though I did enjoy others like Tango, Swing, and Rumba) so I always find myself transitioning into the basic "kick, kick, rock step, kick..." pattern 😅

[@leaa4129]

I've watched many steezy videos. Following and taking their advices. (I teached my self btw) I danced everyday, positively thinking I'll improve. I practice In front of a Mirror to work on my Facial expressions. And to make the moves sharper, also Recorded my self dancing. It's been 5months since I started dancing keeping steezy's advices. And guess what? I really improved so much within 5 months. Thank you steezy! Someday I hope to become a great dancer like you guys. I really enjoyed watching your videos. It really encouraged me and made me practice harder. I'm looking forward to more videos in the future ^-^

[@leyna-rc5mr]

Wow, your attitude is really admirable! Do you have any advice for beginners? Thank you and have a great day/night

[@khard12312]

A few years ago I decided to throw away the idea that I was too old to get serious about dancing. I was self conscious at first watching so many amazing young dancers in my class but I went at my own pace. I decided to download Steezy after Clay guest taught my dance class and that was the best decision. I got to build my foundation and the feature where you can turn your camera on and watch yourself with the Choreographer helped me so much. I started filming myself too and it helped me clean. The Steezy Facebook group is also awesome and supportive. I love it so much. Because of the challenges I'm starting to learn and retain choreo a lot faster than I used to. I feel more confident and I like what I see when I record myself now. 😊

[@annadang5811]

Number 10 is soooo underrated! And I respect you even more now for pointing it out! It always irks me to see people teaching dance styles/moves without any connection to their backgrounds and roots! (I've seen a few especially with things like voguing, etc.). So props to you, Jessie & Clay! ♥️

[@hansini1934]

Me on my bed watching steezy's and clay suddenly out of the blue ARE YOU TAKING NOTES RN!!!???? Me NoSirr 😦🤕🤔😲😦

[@blue_catepillar]

This is AWESOME!! That first tip- what great advice about everything. Starting out with "I am open to learn" versus berating myself for not knowing what I don't know. I am trying to learn flamenco, and I feel like I am.missing so much of the soul of it all. It may be a different genre, but your channel helps so much

[@youmaddymyday]

I did close my eyes when I was dancing, especially when I need to understand a piece or something, but teacher was "Stop closing your eyes why r u doing this?". One more reason why sometimes we end up thinking we r doing everything wrong whether it's dancing or any other activity. Listen to yourself guuuyz. Thank you steezy as always❤️

[@jmanoa]

I am a STEEZY STUDIO member. I love this platform!

[@sujana3953]

Clay: pointing in the thumbnail.... And there first tip.. My god it's even harder now But I'll become a dancer no matter what..

[@phoebeioelara6009]

Jessie and Clay’s chemistry in this vid is so fun😂

[@The_Chamel3on]

I just found your channel today and I have not binged so many videos from the same channel at once. You really made my day :D

[@steezystudio]

Thank you for watching!!

[@Mc90903]

I have a whole journal dedicated to you guys I right down literally EVERYTHING !!!!!

[@johnbaruel9360]

in order to get the proper dance foundation, i hope that you guys will open a free foundation class on some genres :3 thank you and more power steezy!

[@sachisen6651]

Thanks, Steazy Studio! I never know that there's more to dancing than just moving and trying to look cool. I'm trying to learn how to dance for like months now and I STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN.

[@gilmanstjt8250]

Steezy, THANK YOU FOR THIS TYPE OF VIDEOS! ❤️🤩 Every point you list, I see if and/or how it applies to me and what can I do to improve. One of the most useful reassurances and tips were “don’t be afraid to take front and center” (seriously, this brought me much more confidence, especially when we dance in groups) and “nobody cares if you mess up, only you do” (this really decreased my fear of messing up, and if I do, I just continue as if nothing happened). I also started taking extra classes from different choreographers - this expanded my knowledge about different styles and techniques (best decision of my life currently)! Please, don’t stop making videos about improvement (I’m sure you won’t but just to be sure), they really help every single dancer, wether they are a beginner or advanced! ❤️

[@MilkCried]

Watching these videos, I get inspired to dance by myself and feel the music. I feel more confident and ready to take on the world.

[@oswaldoramir3z]

I’m living for this content

[@pachirisugirl7204]

i think this is the best KZbin channel that has helped me get a better idea on how to dance. I am a DJ, and so it hurts me so much when i feel like I don't know how to really dance to the music that I have fallen in love with. Thanks to you guys I have a better idea on how to maneuver my body better so that i can more accurately portray what I'm feeling through music.

[@thasneehaneefa1196]

This channel improved my dance a lot Thank you for the tips:)

[@kaitlynmontgomery5289]

I have a playlist for Kpop Dancing and most of the videos on there is Steezy videos. I’ve only been following their advice for 2 weeks but I already see a difference in my dancing.

[@OriginalOrangeJuice]

Things that make you a bad Dancer. 1. Think you’re a bad dancer. -Don’t believe you can dance. -Stop labeling yourself with “I am”. 2. What you define bad dancing as. 3. Never getting the proper foundational training. 4. Because you haven’t taken action. 5. You’re too focus on speed. 6. You’re over complicating. 7. You’re stiff. -Stretch everyday. 8. The music you’re trying to dance to. 9. Trying to do what you see and not what you feel. -Close your eyes when you dance. 10. Leaving out the music history.

[@litchicover]

I've been saying that to myself but gave myself courage and now can posts videos off myself dancing. This channel gave a lot of couragement. Thank you!

[@MomotaroNiwa]

Vibrating Clay is actually a mood

[@ariannaacosta9311]

This is the only channel that actually tell me the truth, that I suck at dancing but I might get better if I watch them

[@InDstructR]

I for sure make some of these mistakes haha. When I practice choreo it always ends up stiff and bad but when I improvise it suddenly looks 10x better...

[@ohlook6222]

I recently started steely classes and I absolutely love it!!! Thanks so much for all the great resources

[@wintermelonboba9903]

This video is helpful and chaotic and I'm here for it

[@jonathanmunleon6276]

I'm a dancer and I think I'm good but I came to make myself better. To all the dancers out there! Theres always more to learn.

[@sherules5005]

My greatest hindrance is lack of coordination and slight muscle memory. Thanks for the insights

[@astridtot]

ahh i did 4 years of dance (6-10) and never learned basics/foundations. now i'm sitting here as a beginner again, and as much as i'm motivated to actually *dance* this time around, i can't help but feel a little disappointed knowing i could've learned this years ago if my teacher had just bothered.

[@Ghostsk141]

Thank you for this! Luv your content and how you guys deliver it🔥 greetings from an mdc germany student 🙌🏼

[@danielcanlas6046]

Number 5 hits me literally.ive realized that i focused on speed dancing

[@whateverilike1233]

I was seriously writing notes of it and then clay said are you writing it down !!!!! 😂 I felt like the are watching me 😂😂

[@kirunasaireru9106]

These hit hard but I'm happy to see content that is authentic and not dishonest. Love y'all 😭

[@iam_ALEXWHAT_]

I know I have a lot to learn when it comes to dance and today 07/06/2020 I joined STEEZY to learn more!!! I'm starting off at the introduction and working my way up. Just because I know of dance doesn't mean I KNOW dance. I'm not going to give up I'm going to keep training until I am the best daner in the world and other choreographers recognize me!!! That's my "Why" dance way!!!!

[@bimalagharti5927]

Thanks for the suggestion!! It was helpful.😍😍😍🤩

[@kayy2510]

REALLY HELPFUL 😭🙌

[@KarmaGirlDreams]

First tip is probably the hardest to overcome but so looming in presence. Thanks for saying it ;)

You are really helpfull all the time thank you ❤️❤️🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️

I used to fee aakward as I danced. Watching this video made me understand how to make good body movements.

you guys are such a good mentor 👌❤

[@kpuffstuffs4179]

Jessie's so cuuute 🥺🤧

[@khoorray]

omg Clay yelling at me just made me watch the video again and WRITE THINGS DOWN xd i think sometimes i just need a really strict teacher to become a better dancer

[@isabellabraganca1095]

?????????? Where was I my whole life?? Why have I only found you now???? This videos are sOoOoOoO good, thank you!

[@lilyblossom7880]

I love your youtube videos you're always so positive about every thing

[@minariminari3278]

Steezy! Can you guys somehow recommend me a place to learn foundations? Cuz i got no money for steezy classes like for real especially this pandemic :(

[@lyraashwood368]

For hip-hop foundations you could check out the Hip-hop dictionary for free on youtube (the one with buddha stretch and loose joint and link)

[@RaliVanMinks]

You guys... I've been loving your vids and awesome tips for over a year now. AND... I'm officially now part of the Steezy fam.

[@serisqueen3767]

I am really trying to go in kpop and i hv confidence i can but i have more to learn in small age itself i can make choreographies and this video is so helpfull new subcriber on way😊

[@kpuffstuffs4179]

One thing I do is whenever I'm making a choreography or steps, I always imagine the moves being danced by a choreographer in a studio inside my head. Idk but it really gives me an idea that "ah yes this will do", and I'm using it as a technique HAHAHA

[@alvinkihika7263]

I am a dancer and found this video very helpful

[@Milubee]

Awesome video!

[@carlamolina695]

I love these videos!

[@lydaicanez2289]

I agree with you guys because when I dance I get either get to scared and a little embarrassed but I think what's Making me feel like I can't dance and that's because people even to about me behind my back or just tell me I can't do this or that and then I self doubt myself and I still do because when I do dance I dance really bad because I'm thinking about what the teacher or the class says about me like I said I'm kinda good at dancing but then I self doubt myself forget everything because I'm afraid of what people while say even when I'm dancing I'm really bad

[@vaidehiramaswami2339]

Loved it !!!,,

[@abbyabigailll7086]

Why I suck before -im too soft I dont know where and when to put power -I can't controll my body especially my muscles and weight -I don't have confidence when other is watching me -embarrassed and afraid to make a mistake But after I practice and practice everyday (5hrs a day) I see my improvements

[@LoveLoveStrong]

Omg your videos.... So good.

[@kharleyluck5689]

The first 1 really hit me so bad

[@yanecicarellidance]

I love you guys!

[@jackdelacruz6658]

I have no budget to go to dance classes, so I have no means to correct my mistakes or to check my moves. Plus, I don't have a mirror. Thus, I kinda feel that I am a bad dancer. 😔😔

when he singled me out for not writing it down but I WAS WRITING IT DOWN!!!!! so i just had to pause and giggle

[@saritalama7361]

So helpful tips 😍👍

WAIT WAIT WAIT 3:55 IS THAT A NEW PUSPOS CLASS??????

[@arianetutor9204]

i don't have any foundations at all, i just self learn and when I watch my own dancing, i feel discouraged because it looks so bad.

[@freshavocado6310]

I think my problem is bec no matter how hard I try to practice control, all my moves just seem so wobbly and all over the place, I also always manage to stumble and mess up my timing. I practice a lot and fail at even the simplest things like arm waves, so I always just assume dancing isn't for me. These videos help a lot tho

[@haileymckinnon5454]

every time i watch a video i feel attacked i love it . i was not writing things down. now i am

[@dianneaprille4884]

How can I learn on my own? Or what are the foundation do I need?

[@kaioy9296]

i think that is the first time that me as a boy notice that a woman or girl changed something about her hair apart from changing from black hair to white and blue stripes

[@iggyboi9326]
