How To Become A Dancer And Choose The Best Dance Style For You I

[@ny_rin.a]

I was really scared to start modern and contemporary because I’m in highschool and everyone started at like 2 😭 but I just took my first class and I love it 😊

[@kirastevens978]

Dance has changed my life. I used to be very insecure about my body and what I looked like. But dance helped me overcome it. It taught me to be confident in myself and that nothing can stop me. To anyone who is insecure about body type dance helps over come that and besides it’s so much fun Love Kira ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Ballet helped me the most

I SOOOO want to try dance, both to get more in shape and to increase my confidence in my own body because I'm personally very self-conscious, but whenever I just dance whenever I'm alone or Jammin to music, I just feel so happy. This really helped, especially during this time where I can't go to classes, but I can use online classes. Thanks for this!!

[@dalena.8817]

Sameee

[@hannahrepollo]

oh my god, i feel the exact same way! anytime i’m alone in my room and i just start dancing around is when i feel the happiest 🥰 i’ve been wanting to get into it for a really long time now but i wasn’t sure where to begin, but i hope i can get started very soon 🤍

this was so helpful!! i am 16 years old and did ballet from ages 4-8 and ended up quitting because i didnt have time for it and 2 years ago i started taking contemp/modern/ballet classes again and i want to continue it but im not sure where to go but this definitely helped!

How did it go?

[@MsKayAlicia]

Great video! My history as a dancer is 15-16 years of liturgical dance. I didn't take my first professional dance class till the end of my junior year of college (I only took modern for one semester). Now that I'm a senior in college, I've declared a dance minor and it has me taking ballet, modern, contact improvisation, dance history, and dance production. All this to say: it's never too late to start dancing a learning/perfecting your craft of dance! Just keep moving!

[@sugaplum019]

When I tell you I love tf out of your channel lol....stumbled across this video out of nowhere and this push came at just the right time! it's been YEARS since I've danced - I was a dancer as a kid for almost 10 years until i feel victim to the distractions of 16 year old life lol. But I've missed it dearly! Thank you for the motivation to just do it!

[@trainwithkendall]

YAY!!

[@kitajoi8901]

Thank you so much for everything you do. I used to dance, but gave it up for a “real career.” A decade later and some massive student loan debt and I realized dancing is my greatest passion. I picked it back up at 26 and now at 28 I’m halfway decent. I love Urban dance and belly dance the most, but I’m using your videos to learn ballet and jazz because I can see now why they are the foundation of dance. I have hope there’s still a chance for me to become a professional dancer in my 30s and I’m putting in the hours like my life depends on it. I’m so grateful to you and everyone who provides free and low cost tutorials.

[@JL-4orBe]

Glad I came across your video. When I was a child, I was always on my tippy toes, trying to be a ballerina! Or dancing like Gene Kelly in Singing in the Rain. Growing up in a large family; small rural community, my opportunities to dance were limited: summer nights in the moonlight, German wedding/polka dancing, High school dances. As an adult; 8:54 local clubs (Rock ‘n’ roll, country, disco 🎉😅) and festivals. And always, at Christmas in my home dancing to the Nutcracker ballad. My granddaughter will be nine years old this week and she has expressed to me her desire to dance… all over my living room lol. So to celebrate her birthday, I will share this video with her and we will contact local studios and schedule a drop in class. And, I have located a free expression, dance session for myself. Thanks for the inspiration 😊💃🏻💞

[@emilymoo9667]

Your videos have really encouraged me to follow my dreams and do ballet and now I'm doing a ballet summer camp this year! I can't wait or thank you enough for inspiring me to do dance and I think I might actually want to make this my career! Thank you again and don't ever stop making videos!! - Emily :)

[@byounggonie]

This really inspired and motivated me. I am a 14 year old boy but I am somewhat flexible and go to a performing arts school. I could have more opportunities if i learned to dance so i’m going to a studio this summer and i’m very nervous. I want to take Jazz 1 and Beginner Ballet 1 but also Lyrical/Contemporary. Should I choose ballet over lyrical/contemporary for technique? I already have my heart set on jazz

[@sapphichorrors]

You should do jazz and lyrical/ contemporary but also take a ballet or technique class for technique.

[@huckglancies2238]

I love your positivity 😘

[@MasonWilliamJenkins]

Your breakdown of the topic was absolutely perfect.

[@tarap9360]

Hi Auti! I’m not sure if you will be seeing this but I came across this video and your channel and I love it. Thank you so much for your help and advice. I have wanted to do dance for so so so long. I took a little ballet class when I was 4 or 5 but that’s it. I explored other sports throughout my childhood like swimming and gymnastics but my dream has always been to dance. I am now 14 and always thought it was to late to start or I would be a lot behind everyone. But I am now realizing that that’s not important. So what if I am not good. You made me realize that as long as I am passionate and I work hard then I can have fun and learn. Thank you so much and I am now looking at different studios. I am so excited to begin this journey. Again thank you so much!!!

[@jonalithakuria3888]

OK so I am a fan of you and 2 years ago you posted this video and after watching this video I got really inspired so I took dance classes every weekend. And now it's been 2 years dancing and I love it along with that I will always watch your videos, thank you so much

I learn in a boarding school for art, and love dancing so much, but I'm in plastic arts.... Not dancing and being so close to dance and friends that dance several hours every week make me cry. I just miss dancing so much!!!!!! But because it's a "semi- professional" school I can't convert to dance because I'm in the second year... And still love art as well... Wish I could learn in your studio!!

[@sunriselotus]

Hi Ti, I wanted to ask you can I get start dancing and become a dancer if I have low finances and can’t afford a dance class? I’ve seen some people say they learned dance through self taught methods like KZbin videos and friends and just or acting on their own, basically they are self taught and they are successful at dancing and some are also professional and teach other people. I really want to do that both for my health and happiness and to advance in my career. As a little kid and adolescent I have had a lot of instances where people have told me oh you can’t dance because your not professional. However, once I danced at a party as a performance and they audience loved it so much I got money from those people!!! So I think the lesson is not letting people stop you and get to you and not letting a lot of people who say no or tell you you can’t do it to stop you from living your life the best way it is for you…

[@markjtan]

Auti, these videoes are great and informational! Thank you! By the way, you never mentioned Modern, which is different from Contemporary. I didn't realize this when I mistakenly took a Martha Graham class, thinking it was Contemporary, a mistake that others might make. But I've been loving it anyway.

[@ellafontes679]

this really inspired me. i felt kind of in a rut. i’m doing about 5 classes a week not including show rehearsals. 3/5 are ballet and pointe classes and the rest are jazz and musical theater. i have been asking myself what’s the next step. i think i’m going to try out for my high school team, even though i’m a few levels below everyone else i just feel like it would be a great learning experience

In our studio lyrical is very much like ballet but without pointe and then a lot of like tilts and all that with floor work. Lyrical also ofcourse means that the song should have lyrics in it which I like very much so lyrical is one of my forte style As for contemporary we have mostly instrumental music and the dance is very strong with fast paced sophisticated moves and laso some acro tricks like aerial walkover and walkovers sio

I'm 21 and I've wanted to take ballet since I was 4 but I haven't been able to. Sometimes I get really emotional because I love dancing, and my dream for almost two decades has been to eventually go en pointe. I want to dance at a professional level, but I don't want to do it professionally, if that makes sense? It just feels like a part of me is incomplete because I can't express myself through dance the way I've always felt like I needed to. I do other art; I took violin and I'm a pretty good painter and singer but I still feel like something is missing and I know it's never too late to start, but it feels late if that makes sense? It takes years to go en pointe depending on various factors, and as an adult I don't know if I can commit as much as my heart wants too. So yeah, sometimes I feel like sobbing because I feel like there's this major part of myself missing and I don't know how to find it or be it or whatever and I don't know where to start bc broke college kid with zero (0) plans for my future. Balletophile doesn't even begin to cover how much I love it and have dreamed of it and how absolutely emotionally constipated and devastated I periodically feel. Sorry for going off, I just really needed to share this. I don't expect anything from this, but it's been nearly two decades and this had to come out of me at some point, right? Lol

Hey auti, I can't decide between ballet and contemporary. I wanted to start ballet like 4 years ago but I was really insecure about it and I told a friend and she didn't really take it seriously because it didn't seem like my kind of thing. I think I'd really enjoy ballet because of learning technique and achieving goals and when I watch ballet solos I always want to do that too. But on the other hand I would love to express myself through dancing and to let loose which is kind of the opposite to ballet isn't it? I love floor work and your tutorials to contemporary dances. So I don't know. So please help me

[@Blessedgurlred]

I’m not auti lol but I am a dancer and if you want to do ballet really bad , please go for it, try not to be insecure have confidence in yourself also don’t care about what other people think because they shouldn’t dictate your happiness. If you want to do ballet then do ballet, this is also a favorite dance style of mine. Then maybe after you have done ballet for a bit you can start to do contemporary and see how it goes. Then if you continue to do it later on maybe you can take ballet and contemporary classes in the same week, vise versa just know that it is possible for you to do both and hopefully this helps😊✨
