[@DosYeobos]

A lot of those jumps and ballet-esque moves are things I just naturally learned dancing alone at home, when no one is watching so I don’t feel silly.

[@meganchristoferson7418]

I do not have any dance knowledge but you make it look so easy. You’re very graceful. Most definitely one of my favorite all time YOuTube videos. Thank you

[@sapphireglory2865]

This was so needed for me... To not have any dance training or education... But being gifted with the ability to dance and choreograph dance pieces on any level... It is really difficult and a little uncomfortable to be able to perform, visualize, or complete a dance movement but not know what it is called or how to explain it to someone you are teaching... This video is gonna make things much easier... Thanks

[@Chiakinanami-d3z]

This is for me off-Balance Pirouette 0:25 pencil turn 0:30 Passe hop (maybe) 1:06 Barrel jump (maybe) 1:31 Drag step 2:16 Pitching (maybe) 3:26 Passe slide 3:38 Attitudes 3:58 swaying 6:50 rotators (going back) 7:26 Arm work variation 1&2 9:05 - 9:14

[@MaddieFishblob]

Interesting! As a ballet dancer I feel like I know the foundation steps that these modern ones were built off of, but a lot of these are new unique takes on fundamental concepts that I never would’ve thought existed 🔥

Thank you Seneka Abeyratne. Modern dance is so unique, and there could easily be a video compilation for each technical style. What is your favorite branch of modern dance?

[@snabeyratne]

@@dancedeja classical-contemporary

[@dancedeja]

@@snabeyratne gotcha, gotcha. Do you have a favorite performer of company that is worth checking out? One of favorite contemporary dance companies has been Complexions Contemporary Ballet. Very good work and great music selections for the dancing. 🎶

[@snabeyratne]

@@dancedeja Berlin State Ballet artistic director Nacho Duato is one of my favorite modern dance choreographers. Love his ballet White Darkness.

[@dancedeja]

Turn turn turn

[@skyfully8031]

i miss dance soo much. i had to stop right after i got on pointe because i found out i’m *terminally ill* and dance could lower my quality of life.

[@clararoumany8651]

Why is this modern moves is so much easier than techniques of modern as Martha graham and horton and doesn't have the sharp alignment .is this because the modern dance nowadays is much depending on natural posture or this is a different style influenced by modern dance techniques.please answer me

[@angellanandawula]

[@TheMommaGillis]

Love the resource idea, your effort and quality. However, be careful you are presenting correct terminology. That was a compass turn, not a pencil turn. And those are not Graham Hops, those are Sparkles.

[@KellyEZLynch]

Pony step is a prance

[@commradeBee]

work talking about those dance moves are called “Sparkles”. Like that’s fine if you want to call them that but don’t frame it from a point of technicality. Leave the microagressions in the drafts 🫶🏾

[@emmaree9581]

There’s different terminology around the world! I learned “pencil turns” and something completely different from “Graham Hops AND Sparkles” every name is both correct and incorrect.

[@valeriewinborne]

Sparkles is a studio term and not used in the professional modern world.

[@forevelyner6220]

I learned it as pencil turns. Many studios have different names❤️
