House Dance Tutorial - Jacking Style

[@Jonzin4BeatzNYC]

Danny Dance put it nicely when he said after you have a feeling for the different steps and you begin to apply them to a beat/track/song, the music will begin to make you move in a way you may not have expected and that is beautiful my friend. It is like the beat takes over your body, but not everyone can experience this and often people get lost in it so knowing some concrete steps can help give you a frame to begin with, otherwise you may fall.

[@JardySantiago]

I'm very happy that we've been able to keep this conversation going with such maturity. And yes, I agree with you there. I definitely believe that underneath it all, you don't need any moves to dance from your heart. And yes, some people can take it the wrong way and think that a good dancer equates to knowing all the moves. I remind people time and time again that this is not the case, and that in the end, they should follow their hearts.

[@ThePremiseSC]

Love your content bro. Do you share you song playlist at all?

[@graysongael9893]

I know it is kind of randomly asking but does anybody know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?

[@bobbychristopher2637]

@Grayson Gael Try FlixZone. Just google for it :)

[@remyalvin6603]

@Grayson Gael i would suggest flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

[@PanicOutFun]

I appreciate how respectful you are to the style, history and the critics/comments here. Big ups to you! 👊

[@DJDannyDance]

Fantastic response, and a key point to understand the difference between teaching people who are new to a dance vs exploring dance with people who already feel comfortable with a certain way of moving.

[@kasiatokarska7857]

House is my style, after watching some of your videos I am stuck in house and cant escape it. I am absolutely in love with it and learning something new all the time. Now im free in love with house

[@JardySantiago]

I feel you, man. House dance is all about the soul and not the moves. I point that out repeatedly in some of my videos. This is a special environment for learning, and when people are learning, you can't just say "go off, feel it, don't think, just do what your body tells you" and leave it at that; you've got to have something concrete for people to grasp. Anyways, thanks for watching. :)

[@slyfonk]

man what you do is great. this is the kind of video , i was dreaming to watch 4 years ago. when i discovered house.cos back then, the people who got the knowlegde was refusing to share it peacefully like you do today. we'll never forget your act. peace

[@852639]

Thank you so much for these tutorials Jardy. I can tell you are really passionate and you actually educate people, teach them to understand the dance versus just picking up moves! You are amazing, keep doing your thing!

[@TheRealAntonSensei]

I am blown away by the fact that u give away all that information and knowledge FOR FREEEE! U are one of my biggest inspirations and of course sources of advice when it comes to house dance! Pls keep the good work up and i wish u further great luck with your academy! Highly respect and appreciate all your work!

[@JardySantiago]

Aw thank you! I’m actually working with KZbin to track down all the people that watch my videos and they’ll all be getting bills in the mail. 🙂

[@TheRealAntonSensei]

@@JardySantiago Nice i can just give you my adress and evrything :D Easy peasy! But then u have to come to germany for a free workshop :D

[@JardySantiago]

@@TheRealAntonSensei hahaha you're too funny. I might actually be in Berlin in September to teach, so hopefully that happens!

[@TheRealAntonSensei]

@@JardySantiago Oh that's cool, i think i will be in Japan at that time, but i wish u already a lot of fun in Berlin! Should work out! Thanks for the chat, really appreciated, and hit me up when KZbin doesn't help you with the payment ;-)

[@BBoyJonB13]

My friend I must thank you for all your videos. I'm from Purto Rico and housing is almost unexisting here. thanks to you and your videos I'm finally learning this dance. thank you so much. God bless and peace

[@JardySantiago]

On the other hand, moves are fun and create a feeling of community when people can share the same language together. Thanks for your input, Cam.

[@onikage007]

Thanks again for another fantastic video!! This video shows the skills of a true dancer who can freestyle beautifully even using only 4 moves!

[@MrQba]

man, you got the best dance tutorials on youtube, and its all for free and not really comercial. respect! i dont dance house, but i like your tutorials and your passion! i watched all of them,hehe. keep up this good work. b-boy qba

[@metheores]

there's nothing wrong with learning new steps, everything has a foundation and you are only going to get better as a student of dance (any dance) when you are open to suggestions and learn from other dance styles, in the end it's all dancing =)

[@maroyaka90]

Dear Jardy, Thank you so much for these House tutorials: they're all easy to understand and intuitive to follow (far off from any technocratic tutorials). Much respect, Maro

[@PauldeSaintRat]

Nice moves!!! Bringing it back!

[@leshark]

I usually just use my right hand

[@michaeloneill555]

Cant believe I didnt think of that. Well done.

[@rogeliomartinez7180]

Hahahaha i came to this video 3 times, and until the last one I got it. Clever fella

[@alohadandelion]

that's EXACTLY what I needed, it's like a missing puzzle piece. Thank you, man!

[@ayaakiosawa0]

Keep doing what you're doing Jardy.

[@sahilagrawal1768]

Now i m totally clear house freestyle dancing 🍁🌿✴️🐾

[@Husani759]

Jardy, well done brutha. Great video. Great lesson. Can't wait for your footwork series, and the references you'll likely provide. The lofting too. Be well.

[@sodapop8]

Jardy your the man. You remind me of my friend Danny Dance. You have a great attitude and passion. I've watched your material for a few years now and It has helped me become a better dancer and instructor. Thank you and Much Respect! ~Soda Pop (MBC) Utah.

[@dcbornraised]

sodapop8 what ever happened to Danny dance?does he still make videos?

[@sodapop8]

He told me he retired last year from the DJ and dance scene. I haven't heard from him in over six months.

[@notorioushsg1]

@JardySantiago hey man... I just wanted to drop you a line to say I've only watched 2 of your videos and I really like the way you structure your lessons. Primarily I enjoy popping and I've watched too many vids to possibly count... none of which are really as structured as yours well done! Can I suggest a possible cam set up to watch your footwork from the side? Could help some of us pick up your moves faster. :)

[@rellaist]

this is the best videos tutorial I have ever seen.

[@pranitdhotre2438]

Jardy sir ! You are incredible....How can someone share this amount of knowledge for free ???? I am learning so much from your youtube channel🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 yes, you are incredible

[@onikage007]

If you look closely, you'll see that the footwork style he's demonstrating here comprises of Loose Legs, Shuffle, Scribble Step and Pas De Bourree. Although we're not sure whether he's going to use those moves in his final video :)

[@OsirisFGC]

When can we get a video on the footwork style? Looks hella good.

[@JardySantiago]

@jouwell Thank you. I started out being heavily influenced by footwork and I went through a little jacking "phase" around 2007. Jackin is a dope style to bring out when appropriate, but I will always be loyal to my footwork roots. =)

[@thabreaka]

Yo Jardy! Me n my girl love your tutorials. I cant wait till you get into lofting it reminds me so much of capieira. Anyways please keep the vids coming :) much love from CT.

[@jon_setako]

Thanks a lot for all your tutorial ! You're inspiring for real !! Big Up from Belgium

[@4neutron]

THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN you ve open my eyes in juste 5 min peace !!!!!

[@pamgn]

I liked so much.. Congrats🤗

[@BBoyCrazyflexX]

Hello Jardy .. I'm a bboy, i started House dance last year and i'm getting better & better mostly using your videos ... I wanted to thank you for your work .. Respect. I have some questions about this video. What is the third style called .. Lofting style ( That's what i heard ) ? And when you gave exemples you said : For Jacking Style => Heel step is the base move For Footwork Style => The looseleg is the base move And then what about "Lofting Style" if that's what it is called .. And are you going to make a video about it ? Thank you very much. Peace out

[@bdubblu]

ATTABOY JARDY! It would be cool to catch up with you in a club. We have similar styles, specifically the nuances of the body and arm movements that make everyone of us unique even when doing the same dance. I think we'd feed off each other. P.S. Great structure to your teaching here... you touched on several points that other videos don't address that will help beginners progress. Using a base is the best way to learn. Learning new bases is the best way to expand. Eventually blending you bases to the point where you're just moving fluidly is that next level stuff!

[@Egor-van-Diemen]

Hey nice vid man! Does someone know a label or playlist of jacking style house music? Cheers.

[@davidcalhoun788]

Jardy, I am 51, and trying to lose weight. I fell in love with House music about a decade ago, but never attempted to dance. I have started dancing on my own in my bedroom as a weight loss exercise. Would you recommend any videos that you have or that you may know of that would help me? TY in advance.

[@kevinong3689]

inspired to house dance =D thanks to all ur tutes.. greetings from Malaysia =)

[@virgil.alonso]

I saw your video of you in indonesia. (I think). You went over the lofting and the footwork styles too. I really want to try learing that lofting style. you think you can do that next?

[@amptek21]

freaking jardy man love your moves! been learning from you for awhile now :D

[@ShoneDaddy]

We step to house so differently down here in miami. good shit regardless

[@shaniece12341]

i need to start practicing house dance i wanna take some classes but ik where i can go for em right now great vid

[@lockingdolemite1989]

jardy my base move is loose legs can i put that in the jacking style

[@brendonhansford]

This is really nice!!!!

[@CelphDance]

Lol man Jardy, you are so good. By the way i play tracks and they match your footwork's rhythm and it just seems to go!. towards the end of your video when you start at 5:31. Listen to Tony Lionni - This Feeling. i think it'll benefit you and have some fun with it!

[@SileDevil]

awsome dancing awsome music

[@slowascows]

i love love love this style! =] can't wait to try it when finals are finally overrrr!

[@JENNIFER123566]

once again..very helpufl Jardy!!!! and once again i luv your dog !! :)))

[@alessandrolionetti9586]

hi sorry i don't understood the name of second style, you could repeat....the first is jacking, the second ? third is lofting

[@JardySantiago]

Footwork! :)

[@sagittarius247]

Where you learn those from NYC House Community?, because we don't Jack like that in the Chi, the ( Home Of House)..and if they do.. that's the Northside style(Afro beat/Soulful House) more like tap dancing and acrobatics....most dances come from the South (Disco)and West (Trax)sides of Chicago.

[@JardySantiago]

Simona Mitchell-Louis the dances I do are all from NYC.

[@Curtislay]

5:27 where he shows everything together

[@DizzieDaCrazzie88]

dance dance revolution

[@ReuelRogers]

this song speaks to mu soul ,.. what us the name of it ?

[@jessyca9833]

Oh wow, thank you for this so great! I've suscribed, looking forward to get better in my house dancing with your help thanks!

[@Maatt28]

I think both ways of dancing are legitimate. If you wanna really feel the music close your eyes let your body do whatever, and if you want to look cool do some practised moves. I remember so many times were i just danced my ass of in a crowd not giving a shit about people staring at me. I always feel they don't appreciate the music the way I do If you know what i mean ;)

[@Ruslanbalvan]

This is cool but I already learned my way of freestyling with your moves and now I see I don't have that jacking-feel in it : ((, I wonder if I'l get shit for it not looking like house. I lock otherwise.

[@EsquireR]

there's no annotations anymore, so could you replace them with captions?

[@dizzy2000]

thank you so much. two thumbs up.

[@maxi_dharma21]

Whats the name of the song at the end?

[@alejandramontenegro6940]

i can dance the 4 style's together?

[@xSweetHoneyBeex]

How long did it take you to learn how to dance?

[@MrLimelights]

hey man whats the second style called i couldnt understand what you were sayin lol and what moves should i learn to be able to emulate that style?

[@JayJayMilk]

Hi jardy =D just want to ask a question~~~ when freestyling around how many times of repeating the same move( loose legs) is considered as too much because when i try to freestyle i always get this gut feeling that im somehow being a bit repetitive

[@yazukikage7380]

I wonder What's the difference between House Dance to Hip-hop. Please answer asap thanks :)

[@Ell.06]

you should be asking what the similarities are.. they are completely different dances to different music

[@yazukikage7380]

+Elli Jelly i see. Cool

[@TheAuthentic2]

+Elli Jelly I've heard you can house to just about anything though?

[@Ell.06]

+Edgard Orellana Well the relationship between the music and the dance are important, the first House moves were created by dancers interacting specifically with House music. You can dance to whichever music you want, but you will not get the timing, groove or feeling the same.

[@nascr7_47]

+Elli Jelly don't the origins of house come from a mix of genres and one of the main ones hip hop?

[@zoomturtle]

song id please..thx

[@VOLTRAR]

@LVKNG Ironically that the name of the track LOL. Crazy (Zepherin Saint Vocal Mix) by Black Coffee

[@kmah4522]

house is a freedom style its a free flow and is one of the greatest known styles in the world of dance so you just got burneddddddd

[@LVKNG]

[@selly8181]

[@michaeloneill555]

Anyone think it's like irish step dance/ tap dance that would be done to house...

[@deandtrepreneur]

What is the name of the track at the beginning

[@petyajungle]

[@MrBo0T3R]

[@WillyJunior]

[@kaleaba]

[@OGSinisterPotato]

[@JardySantiago]

@dialupdaemon yeah sure thing. Sorry it took me so long to respond to this.

[@soundvesselrecords]

[@inventfmc]

Jardy, can I come over and ride on your red wagon?

[@mabelklj]

i like your floor :)

[@zoltanladanyi4752]

It's kinda strange to jump around to Balearic House. If you do this in Ibiza or the UK people will look a bit weird. :D

[@JardySantiago]

With that statement, you have just attempted to discredit every dancer in the world who participated in the creation of African dance during pre-history, tap in the 1800s and lindy hop in the 1930s, all of which were soulful people of color, who later in the 1980s began the creation of house dance. That's courageous, my friend. And I think you can see why I highly disagree with your statement.
