[@MariamawitAfework-dt5od]

[@fiveoakproductions]

This is literally what I need, THANK YOU. I'm trying to choreograph a dance for 6ish people and want to do a line change. What's your favorite combo to do one? Need some ideas. I am thinking about a jazz slide, or would love to do some "covid safe" partnering if that exists. Thanks!

[@ladyamecornio1168]

Even though I never comment, these 100 jazz move series is so underrated I just had to! I have been searching all over the internet for dance move compilations and yours is the best I've encountered so far: simple to understand yet full of variety, just, *chef's kiss* Also, I have a similar body to yours and always have been afraid to move it past the arms and legs, but your videos have been the push I needed to get up and try different moves so thank you thank you thank you; please never stop uploading these!!!

[@dancedeja]

I’m going to be sending in a video audition where I need to choreograph my own 1 minute theater style dance, and this helped me so much! thank you :)

[@dancedeja]

So glad to hear, good luck!

[@paintthepictures7773]

The nice thing was, I could tell that you were genuinely having fun on a lot of these! It's also nice to see a dancer of color like myself 😊

[@dancedeja]

Thank you Paint the Pictures! Musical Theatre has always been of my favorite genres of entertainment because of the ability for performers of different artistic backgrounds to feel included in dance/singing and for the encouragement of one's personality to shine. Though musical theatre can be quite technical, you just cant ignore the FUN unique atmosphere the style brings to the dance community and vice versa.✨ Are you a fan of musicals?

[@samanthaleigh6797]

This is such a great resource! I'm trying to choreography a color guard dance feature for my high schoolers. Most of them don't have any formal dance experience and I was at a little bit of a loss on what they could do and learn un a day or two. This will be really helpful to worn with!

[@dancedeja]

Absolutely, I hope the routine is going well!

[@kathleenbiggs3073]

For the “unknown name” those are called trenches and are often used in musical theater tap!

[@honeycxvez3179]

Thank you so much! I am currently interested in learning varieties of dance! Usually I'd try to find different moves but there were no results! Thatd probably because I typed nonsense 'calypso turn jump switch' but now I know! I'm really getting into your videos

[@dancedeja]

So happy to hear! If you have any specific request please lmk. ✅

[@KathehFIT]

I did NOT KNOW jazz had a lot influence on this like hip hop,heels and fitness overall. But ThAts what it seems like by seeing this video! 😮

[@m0thhhhhhh]

me, happily dancing along: "wow I'm proud of myself for being able to do all these moves, I think I'm gonna be able to do all 100!" The fouette turns at the end: "not so fast" But all joking aside, great video :)!

[@kateruttenburg3040]
