10 Tips For Self-Learning Kpop Dances

[@susiemeoww]

Omg I totally forgot that when I say watching the dance over and over again I meant the mirrored version!! Don’t keep watching the regular version bc you will end up mirroring everything>< thank you for watching!!

[@susiemeoww]

My Yeets no I meant that if you keep watching the regular non-mirrored video it’s hard to flip the video in your brain. So for example if they step left and right in the video, when you watch it non-mirrored mode, your brain is perceiving it as right and left. So you would take an extra step to process the right move (which is flip it in your mind). But if you watch the mirrored version, you don’t need to take that extra step. Your eyes and brain is naturally seeing as right and left from the mirrored version. Does that make sense? That’s what happen to a lot of us when we watch covers/non-mirrored fancam s so many times we tend to mirror the moves!

[@razan5238]

please snapping tutorial?

[@발렌제니]

@@susiemeoww I find it harder to learn from the mirrored version lol

[@PamPam2912]

발렌제니 me too, I have to watch the regular dance practice or else I’ll just get confused, since I already flip the moves, if that makes sense

[@발렌제니]

@@PamPam2912 I mean for me it depends on the choreo. I usually watch the normal version but sometimes I get confused so I have to watch the mirrored one. For example, Violeta, because their arms are really fast and their feet as well

[@jo-pg4fm]

I don’t like practising with people watching me practise. It’s awkward

[@sameerchikodi9900]

peaxxch So true . I wish we had multiple like buttons.

[@johnnyscocktaeil7875]

The same energy as mine. I don't have my own room. Simply as that because I share it with my cousin. But no excuses, I still continue dancing with my big mirror. And also because I will cover NCT 127 Kick it and Punch chorei and post it in my exact birthdate (June 20)

[@yourbestfrand2797]

I share my room with my siblings so I don't have that much privacy to practice

[@averagepotato3004]

I have my own room but I'm not allowed to close my door and my parents randomly come in my room😓😭😢

[@johnnyscocktaeil7875]

@@averagepotato3004 it's fine, me too, my parents always pass by to my room. But I confronted them about I want to dance better so I told them "If you'll see me dance in my room, please just don't look at me" and then boom. They're used to see me dance till they don't care anymore... It's fine if they'll see you dance like a squid, just be confident and you're the only one who cares about messing up. It's their problem. Be confident and talk to them, even if they laugh at you if you'll continue dancing, someday they'll just let you do what you want because they always see you. Know what I mean?

my favorite tip when i can't figure out a move from a dance practice is to find someone else's dance cover and see what they do for that part because a lot of the times they make the move look less complicated than the idols do

Thanks for sharing this finally a solution for understanding a movement.

[@lilia2852]

Try to put emotion into it when you are dancing.

[@bwingbwinggwiyomi]

jeonaeri that's bc you should put emotion into you're dancing, make facial expressions as if you are on stage, and keep practicing and filming yourself help to see what mistakes you made and fix them! Bc sometimes how you look in the mirror isn't how it looks on camera! *AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, PUT POWER AND SHARPNESS INTO YOUR MOVES!!*

Focus on memorizing which side is the right side 6. Focus on the transition between each move 7. Keep doing the moves that you got stuck with to get the muscle memory 8. Film yourself after you generally learn 9. Start to learn some basic hiphop moves 10. Practice a lot

[@susiemeoww]

Also for counting- one of the biggest benefits of learning moves by counting is you’ll get more accurate with the tempo, bc a lot of times moves are not based on music but based on the tempo of the song!

[@rollypolly9896]

Is it weird that i can dance without counting ??

[@natashamendez6064]

Rolly Polly same I don’t need to count

[@テトテト-q5v]

Maybe if you dance alone you can do it without counting (even though you may not be very accurate with the tempo), but if you dance the choreo with other people counting is very important to make all of you synchronized

[@natashamendez6064]

テトテト I dance with 2 other people and we always evaluate each other when we are dancing together and I can never get the tempo right so I have started counting now especially since we are learning don’t know what to do and everyone has synchronized for it to look good.

[@SleepingDragon_]

テトテト i danced for 13 years and never needed to count even with other people. I can hear everything i have to do from the music, counting always made me mess up. People are different

[@trinityuwu4853]

Here’s my tip: if you mess up in the song, instead of starting over, just practice that part until you get it perfect.

[@bwingbwinggwiyomi]

Moon Wolfx I do that too but it's also good to do it all together bc sometimes your muscle memory may get it when focused on but when you're in the moment of doing it all together, sometimes your memory still messes it up you see lol

[@officxlsofti8558]

what if you forgot a step WHILE actually performing? what if people already know how to dance goes and you don't have anyone to look at?? I mean you can improve or something or try to remember it but what should you do?????? Because if you have a concert tomorrow and you don't remember the moves then what should you do????

[@mhykeefajardo3350]

[@sowonkim97]

my tips (it works for me): 1) watch dance practice or fancam 2) teach myself with every step by saying 'bam'/'tap' (I don't count because it's bothering my focus on the music) 3) remember one part step by step (example: the intro first before moving to the chorus, bridge, breakdance and outro) by practicing in front of the mirror 4) practice for hours to make my body move well with the beat 5) take a rest like 30 minutes before practice again to make sure if my mind/body is already comfortable with the choreo 6) for face expression (if you filming/performing), I watch stage performance a lot to get the vibes of the song

The biggest tips ever are to 1. ALWAYS learn the moves on 0.5 speed to learn the moves before moving to faster speeds. 2. Learn it section by section (e.g learn the intro and practise it before moving onto the next section)

[@ayushichandila5009]

Thanks

[@mxtryoshkaa_9130]

How i do it: 1Find the mirrored.(i suggest don't watch mirrored covers since they will be different from the group) 2.Listen to the song many times.(you need to know the song obviously....this is what i did for Boy with Luv and Fancy🤟) 3.Slow it down.(slowing it down really helps me study the moves😊) 4.Match the dance to lyrics/beats(i use this technique instead of counting..it's easier for me😁) 5.Talk to your imaginary friend😂(Tell them..oh i got this move!Ooh that move is cool!I learned it gurl!) 6.Memorize it 7.Look at myself dancing after memorizing(it helps me see what moves i need to learn again) 8.Learn the moves again(i learn the moves that i got wrong while looking at myself) 9.Repeat those moves I don't get(i did this for Dalla Dalla...the feet on Yeji's part was pretty hard..so when i was shopping i kept doing it and then i got it) 10.Cleaning my dance(after repeating and repeating the dance i look at myself again and do the dance slowly without music) 11.Practice(This applies to my cover group of Itzy...we have to practice and practice even though we got everything set.We had to keep on doing the twerk(?) At yuna's part...which looks terible on me since i am not fit😔) 12.Critic(let a friend/parent/anyone to critic you.It really helps.Trust me..they know where you kinda do it wrong..or like that..) This is how i learned all the kpop dances i know right now😊

number 5 is so cute hahah i might try some of these ty!

[@xXChickenofOnewXx]

For me (as a person in a dance cover group and having performed in multiple competitions, festivals and cons since then): 1) Repeatedly watch mirrored dance practices and take the time to closely observe what they are doing with a hawk eye. Hands are positioned like this, hips jut out like this, etc. Details are important. 2) Watch how the person you are copying does moves and try to do it _exactly_ like them in front of the mirror. Be their twin. Correct whatever you see that is off. 3) Recording yourself and looking back on it definitely helps. You notice mistakes more when you see your own dancing, and you can pinpoint what you may need to improve. 4) If there's a move you're lost on, keep working on it because muscle memory will eventually kick in and your body will memorize. 5) Notice when your body looks awkward or stiff during a move. To help, think of how to execute the moves in a way that will make your body look more pretty or cool in front of a mirror. 6) Work on your walking. Even something as simple as walking, you shouldn't use your normal walk. You should strut or swagger; move your shoulders and hips with attitude. 7) Take note of when to slow down or speed up. When to be graceful and when to add power. People notice small changes like this. 8) For facial expressions, get immersed in the mood of the music. Make sure your expressions fit the vibe of the song. Like full smiles and cute pouting if it's a fun upbeat song, or seductive stares and teasing smiles if it's a slow, sexy song. It's nice if you can give a variety of expressions as well. 9) Dance with the idea that you are there to show off in front of people. Think, "Look at how pretty I am. Look at how cool I am, I'm the best" as you give a performance. It will make you look more confident, which will show in your moves. 10) After you finish learning a dance, do the entire dance you learned at random moments throughout your day to see if you remember everything. Review everything you forgot or are unsure about. That's all I can think of lol. Make sure to stretch, take breaks, and have fun. :D

[@qn_.]

I am trying to start a dance team at school, any tips?

[@xXChickenofOnewXx]

@@qn_. Hmmm, I have never started a team by myself lol. But the origin story of my dance group is that they had friends who also liked kpop and wanted to try dancing. They started out as a group of like 4, and slowly included people who wanted to try dancing in kpop covers. Today, we have like 20 ppl and we are all comfortable with each other and get along really well! We've also really improved throughout the years of being with each other, which I love for us hahaha So I'd say you can start by maybe looking for people who have the same interests and suggest forming a group with them! If it's at school, you can maybe consult a teacher about forming an official club or something. To recruit new members, encourage them to try something new and assure them that regardless of the level of dancing they are at, everyone will improve together. Might be good to create a group chat to keep in contact with everyone too, in like KakaoTalk , WhatsApp, etc. After that, it's important to have fun and keep good relations with everyone, because it can be the ultimate reason for why they want to stay in the group. :) I hope that helps a little lol. I wish you good luck on your dancing endeavours! :D

Like I get too focused on counts that it seems more like a homework assignment, not something fun.

For blackpink's song-- I would count the part where you said "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8" as "1 and 2 and 3 and 4." If you need in betweens of that, you can say "1 a and a 2 a and a 3..." etc.. Of course, it doesn't really matter if you're just dancing alone, but that's the way I usually hear people count.

[@samaptigoswami9741]

Thats basically how you count beats when you learn a musical instrument like guitar or keyboard or drum, etc.

[@Naomi-rf1bl]

An easier way is 1-e-&-a-2 the enunciation of e between syllables is easier, but that's how you learn basic syncopation of any instrument. By learning an instrument especially in concert band setting you learn to internalize syncopation without thinking about it.

[@xuvluva9622]

Hapito I was just gonna say it’s usually more 1-e-and-a too since I play an instrument as well haha

[@avamoyrong3822]

The tips I follow 1 - watch the dance many times (know what you’re learning and choose which stage/member you want to learn from) 2 - be specific/consistent with the moves (since different members have their own styles sometimes they each have different moves so focus on one member/stage 3 - only focus on one part of the song at a time (divide the song into 8 counts or sections such as intro, verse, chorus, etc) to avoid overwhelming yourself 4 - depending on the song, learn moves based on 8 count or lyrics (for some dances counting will be useful while others use moves that hit on certain lyrics) 5 - learn the basics of a move in a section first then perfect it after learning the rest of thesection

[@BCaddet]

For me. "Practices makes improvements"

[@fullsunhyuckie3028]

tips that i use for myself: • get used to mirrored videos first. so when you watch an unmirrored version of the choreography, you won't have to flip the video itself. just memorize the easy parts. • try to take it slowly. do it from 50% slow, to 75% and to 100%. • learn a few steps first, (like first verse) and replay the song over and over again until you nail the steps you're trying to learn. • try countings. count 1-8 and backwards, according to beat. • or, if you're a fast learner, try to go to 75% slowed mirrored version. then go to 100% straight away. (It's so you can be able to learn choreographies more fast.) • repeat the dance everyday, until you finish and learn it completely. these are just some of the tips i use when learning kpop/non kpop choreographies.

This is basically what I do when I learn a choreography (probably I don't do it correctly, but yeah) - Watch the dance video a lot of times - Learn one little part at a time - Record a video of myself every time I'm done learning a new part (to correct some mistakes, I think it's better to fix them right away) - Try the whole choreography different times while recording to see if I've missed something Also if there are some steps that are not really clear to me, I watch slowed dance practices or dance tutorials (sorry for bad English)

[@Im15cheese]

Here's how you count for those who don't know: Most songs are 4/4 time, and you can count to 4 over and over and it won't sound weird. Usually, dancers would count double that time (so 4/4 becomes counts of 8, 3/4 becomes counts of 6). If it's 3/8, you'll just count to 6 faster. If you don't understand the 3/4, 4/4, 3/8 stuff, just think of it as fractions. The bigger the numerator, the bigger it becomes. The smaller the denominator, the smaller it becomes. If you can't tell what time the song is, you could just try different times. But sometimes in a song theres a thing called a break. It's where the melody repeats itself 3 times, then breaks that pattern with one set of something different. You can listen to the melody and count (on beat of course) how many seconds/counts it takes for each melody. If it's a multiple of 4, then it's probably 4/4. Sometimes (but rarely happens outside of classical music) there's a song that changes counts regularly and can't be counted, then you'd just count to 8 (8 is the standard stuff for dance). Idk if this was helpful, I've been dancing many types of dance (I suck at hip hop) and this stuff no longer needs to be explained at my studio, so counting for us is like second nature. Ya...

[@ygearts9813]

Ok but like. If my dancing gets better. Your gon be my idol from now on.

[@billyboi7517]

Can you give more tips on 8 counts like a whole video dedicated to this subject and do you use transitions counts when dancing. I’m not really confident at counting I feel I always mess up which I do.

[@sadie5645]

Sorry this is late, but a tip that they teach you in music school and dance class is to count with a down beat instead of counting to 8 It goes like this: One- and- two- and- three- and-four- and. This way, the transitions are a lot smoother

[@thuyhoang2600]

girl you are basically listing many of the most useful techniques for self-learning in general, not just for dancing, good job and thank you

[@lunaeticinks9143]

Thank you so much, this is actually really helpful!!! I'm currently trying to learn Monsta X's "Dramarama" choreo and I feel like I'm getting no where, I'll definitely use your tips!💜💕☺️

i thought i could dance... until i danced infront of my mirror

[@betaydiaz4965]

Thank you for uploading this video I'm trying to learn dances and your tips can help me. I'm excited to learn some dances now😊

[@sabz_1675]

This is in no particular order but what i do is it works for me 1. Watch the dance so much that you know most of the lyrics /beat off by heart this is because if you repeat the words in the song chances are you will know the move that goes with it 2. Dont practice all at once i personally find it easier to learn it in 10 second intervals 3. Take a break dont stress yourself out get an energy boost by drinking lots of water and catching your breath 4. WATCH THE MIRRORED VERSION!!! I always forget to do this and its just a mess 5. Watch the video according to your speed preference you can find it in the settings in the right hand corner 6. Pause the video repeat your moves in the mirror are they too stiff? Too sloppy?? Practice makes perfect 7. Facial expressions get the vibe of the song that will help with your expressions because you dont want to be smiling if the song your dancing to is a sad song 8. Stage presence make an unforgettable performance 9. Pick the right song that suits you brings out your personality you know what i mean 10. Are you enjoying yourself? pour emotion into what you do Happy dancing😘😘

[@alissa4673]

Instead of counting i memorize the lyrics and learn which beats and words to do them on and i also go "bababa" n "pa poom baba boom "

[@sariahmaecruz9149]

Even though I'm a bit late, my tips are: -Watch over and over but on the slowest speed so you can see how it's done

[@zoey2771]

This was veryyy helpful. I have a dance account on Instagram and I was/am never really proud of my covers. I’m a hip hop dancer and take real classes which means a teacher personally teaches me but obviously I can’t do that when learning dances especially if I wanna learn it fast. I can also say I never watched fan cams and dance practices over and over and tried to learn it whenever I see the dance but I later realized that takes way to long and also realized I never learned small details and I just picked up the simple general part of it. I’m a pretty fast learner when it comes to choreographies so idk why I never just watched fan cams but ig that’s just me being lazy 😂. I tried doing your tips with learning Snapping (I’ve learned the general dance by doing my old techniques) and I can say the results are sooooo much better. I do find that 8 counting isn’t for me although I know how too just from being a hip hop dancer but when learning a dance, i find I’m more comfortable with just learning the lyrics and concentrating on the beats and instrumental. But other then that everything helped me! Tysm Susie!! 💕💕💕

[@0229-r6y]

This is what works for me. 1.Play Kpop Random Dances (mirrored) 2.Try to keep up with it,getting an idea of the feel of the song 3.Watch relay dances from M2 4.Watch slow-mo dance practices 5.Watch tutorials 6.Try to dance with only the music,not watching the actual vid 7. PRACTICE 8. PRACTICE 9. PRACTICE 10. PRACTICE

[@pragya1393]

i also have a tip🔴 first watch and pracise the dance in 0.75x slow . that will be help to understand the dance moves

[@kpopownsmyass9428]

When I watch a dance practice/cover I always look at the footwork first. Then I replay and look at it again, but slowing the vid down. And after that I start to memorize it. When that's done, I do the same with the hands. I do this, because memorizing the footwork while I'm looking at the hands to is difficult for me.

[@lc-do5eo]

Thanks for this advice😊

[@dabachinno1425]

Yoo when you film yourself you find so many details that you miss. Like if your leg isn’t fully bent. It’s so helpful.

[@domi3881]

i just watch the mirrored version and practice it and after 1 week i already know how to dance itm

[@jennygurung4545]

Usually I thought I was bad but one time I did was watch blackpink dance move and more focus on their steps and try it by remember the step and slowly and sometimes watch slow tutorials and that how I kind of knew I know how to dance

It looks so easy, but it really isn’t. It’s sooo tiring (I don’t know how my poor girls do it) I’ve probably watched the dance practice a hundred times and I still can’t get the moves as smooth as them.

[@yeonjune5543]

@@humeyraerkan06 Remember DON'T compare yourself to the idols they trained for years so they probably started off the same as u

[@AyseSG]

My tips: 1) Pic your song. 2) Focus on one part. 3) Watch that part of the video a lot of times. 4) If u want to catch all details then make the video slower (depending on how fast they're dancing you slow it down). 5) U stand infront of the mirror and try it out (when doing this I usually watch the video at the sametime) 6) Do this for an hour or two^ 7) When u think that u got the hang of it u just try it out without the video. This is how i do it and its also the same technique that i've used to learn all the kpop songs that i know right now!(:

[@michelleli7773]

How do you avoid copyright when posting a cover on KZbin?

[@cherylechia9022]

you need to get an appeal, or just change the pitch of the song

[@michelleli7773]

cheryle chia but doesn’t the appeal take a long time to be appealed 😂

[@발렌제니]

In my other channel I use the songs without changing them and they never got copyrighted

[@yomooniee4713]

for the second tip, i do something similar! for some reason i get really excited thinking about performing infront of people and it makes me dance harder, so when i think i have the general dance in my head i kind of space out and start imagining myself doing the dance infront of a crowd. ive tried as a teacher but i couldnt do it but this is just to say you can imagine yourself in whatever scenario ^^

[@moonie5420]

the count method really works! i did with the song wannabe by itzy and i couldn't get the shoulder turn and isolation body wave down. But when i used the counting method i saw that they were on "counts" and i literally had no problem with it this a really good method

[@hongsami.]

okay so these are the problems i have: 1. i look like i have no power and stiff on camera when i dance. 2. i always forget the choreo 3. i lose balance when i dance

[@yoink3548]

Ugh I am always stiff! It's horrible for me tbh

[@juniuws]

Try not to lock your limbs 😊

[@not_month6370]

practise I used to dance professionally when I was younger but I haven't for about 7 years and now I've starting doing kpop dances I'm a lot stiffer than I used to be. I was stiif back then as well then I started but the more I danced and practised the more 'loose' I became. So keep practicing and don't give up it might take a few months or even years but you'll get to where you want to eventually

[@johnnyscocktaeil7875]

That's why you're learning to dance to be better... Right?

[@amberfaith3196]

Idk if this will help but this helps me and I just try to 'not take it as serious' and this helps me relax in a sense like dancing like no ones watching and feeling the song xDD Think of it like waving your hand as dancing try to do it stiff then relax and pretend to do it gracefully like a princess or something LOL

[@rozainizamazizan7260]

My kpop choreo practice will be very slow but i feel comfortable with it. 1. I will search for the mirror dance practice. 2. I usually will pick a member that i comfortable with and i will memorize his/her moves. 3. This part is actually takes time. I will slow the speed to 0.25 if it is too fast or if i feel quite comfortable i'll slow to 0.5 and 0.75. 4. I will break the dances to different parts by the song itself. I will focus to that particular moves and practice that move few times. 5. If i feel okay and if i get the beat i will try with normal speed and sometimes i will strengthen my choreo by focusing clearly on the member that i pick 6. Do it in front of the mirror to see if my moves are correct. 7. I will keep practicing the dance during free time without referring to the mirrored dance practice. 8. I started to practice hip hop moves too. 9. Keep reminding myself on each moves i perform. (My tips are actually tiring because it took quite long time and i usually repeat one part for almost few times)

My process: 1. Watch solo dance covers if it’s a group dance 2. Figure out the beat and timing 3. Mirror it 4. Snack timeeee 5. Do the dance over and over until I can do it with my eyes closed 6. Video myself doing it 7. Let other people watch it so they can give me opinions then if it’s constructive criticism I fix that problem 8. Do it all over again
