[@Urfavravenhead]

That’s a lot!

[@SandyMayasDance]

loved the "use the room/environment" for inspiration. I have never done that before, but will surely use this in the future. Wonderful, thanks for sharing!

[@iriskivi3970]

Oh my gosh, this is so helpful and why does it have only this much views?? It deserves more. I was so stuck with my lyrical jazz solo.

[@meri9631]

I’m a beginner and I want to try something new so I want to choreograph. This is just so helpful tysm💜

[@briarrose5208]

Thank you, this is so helpful! I’ve been dancing for many years-I’m an old lady now- but I haven’t choreographed since I was in college. And was never taught guidelines like you’re giving here. I’ve remembered a choreographic dream from long ago, a pas de deluxe for two women. The music is soulful, with a tenor saxophone weaving around a very basic, simple melody. This music has been haunting me. I want to finish making this dance before I die. Now you;ve shown me how to get inside the music. What a beautiful process this is! 💖

[@aerongray2228]

i've always been amazed by how people can just... make a dance. thank you!

[@dorakiss2453]

I've just discovered your chanel and I love it, it is really inspiring ! Your enthusiasm and kindness glows through the screen! Wish you the best! Cheers from Hungary!

[@niyahjaye]

the room reading has helped me so much!

[@gralucha]

This made me feel like I've been overcomplicating my lyrical pieces for years!!! The room-reading concept was so neat too! My kids will love that!

[@Kenabootskie]

This is great, I’m new to dance & I think the meaning behind lyrical is why I’m so drawn to this type of dance.

[@magdac.3452]

You can like basically tell a story through dancing, that’s so amazing 🥰🥰

[@wiccawicca7359]

WOAH the room reading is AMAZING!!! tysm!!! Xx

[@rglames683]

The room reading is so helpful! Lately I've been trying to come up with a choreo for my favourite song using your tips and floor tricks and honestly the room reading is really helping. Thank you. Also I never realised I knew your channel because I was scrolling through your vids and saw the how to split vid I watched years ago and just realised it was you.

[@hemlatabisht6553]

I think now I know what should be my dance.. Love lyrical. D way u tought, love you 😘😍

[@elliebatten6019]

This helped me so much, me and my best friend love lyrical and do it to express are feeling but we really struggle with choreography x

[@ltp4817]

This is soooooo helpful because I have a dance and drma project and we have to do Romeo and JUliette plays but we have to have dances incoporated into it and this video is so helpful for the dance part!!!!!!!!!! thnx for being amazing!!!!!!!!!!! can i pls have a shout out!!!!!

[@adetijeanclare70]

Thanks a lot Ms. A😇😇😇a friend of mine sent me this video because of the struggles I've been having in creating choreography. I'm so grateful, I haven't choreographed yet but I will, I wish I could send u a video 😀😀😀😀😀😀May God bless you so much

[@lovelightandpeaceforever622]

I love this so much, as a beginner dancer choreography has been highly intimidating, difficult and frustrating. But this video has honestly taught me so much, thank you :)

[@olipops]

I just want to say that I am so happy I found this. I have been dancing for 2 years and started in my first GCSE year (I dove to deep XD) and I had never taken a dance class in my life so choreography was totally new to me. You have really saved me with my final dance piece and I will definitely recommend your channel to my friends in younger years. Keep working hard xx

[@rubym.3303]

Man! This is super helpful I've only been doing dance for like a year and a half, it's my favorite thing to do, so I'm super happy to finally get to choreograph something by myself! Thank you!!! 💞

THIS IS GREAT!! Thank you so muchh! I’m choreographing my first ever lyrical dance for my cousin’s wedding 🥺 I’m not really experienced in lyrical, modern, etc but watching your videos has helped me so much ❤️

[@kelishadaley]

THANK U SO MUCH AUTI. I was quite literally "ouuing" and "awing" during every tip you gave us. You are amazing at explaining and making choreographing simple. Subscribed!

[@ksamanthacheer]

This is basically the most instructive and helpful dance video I've ever seen that still promotes individual creativity! I would love to use this to aid in an improv class

[@gretab211]

That has litterally been the most helpful video about choreographing I´ve seen so far. I have been struggling with finishing the choreography I´m working on and especially the lyrical and the room reading have helped me a lot and I could fill some gaps in my choreography just during the video.

[@riyoyo5441]

Thank you! I’ve been waiting for this for a long time!!!!!!

[@yoursocialnetwork451]

Its so cool to see how different people with the same attempt and lyrics have different movements in their mind😄

[@peanutbutter7068]

This was a really helpful video -- I feel like I can have imagination and inspiration again, especially as a beginning dancer. Thank you!

[@viktoria93133]

This was was incredible, Auti! ❤️ Thank you!

[@fancypantsart8402]

Wow....I've danced to a few songs but never had any "training" but I've practiced all 4 of these and didn't realize it was a thing😄 so awesome thank you!!!

[@kineticallyme]

I’m loving this video! I probably choreo 60 pieces a year, but it’s always helpful to see other methods. Thank you!!

[@mnoble08]

Thank you SO MUCH!!! These are GREAT improv/choreo exercises for my kids!!! I needed some new ones!!! 😊😊😊🙏🏽👏🏽

[@PinkCircleO8]

This video was so helpful. I decided to create a lyrical dance to an emo/pop punk song and I was discouraged when I couldn't think of anything to go to it. I got discouraged a bit. So I went and looked up how to create choreography to lyrical dance. And when I watched the section about lyrical study, it was like a lightbulb went off in my head. I was able to come up with choreography FAST. It only took me 9-10 days to come with the choreography to the dance. Sure, there are a ton of repeats for sections for when the lyrics repeat, but I figured if the lyrics repeat, then so can the moves. Anyways, 9-10 days is FAST for me to come up with choreography. I now have a dance that looks decent-ish. I'm not a professional by any means, but I'm proud of it. And I'm finally going to have some friends film me do it in less than a week.

[@allie5852]

Also how would I represent fire in my dancing? That's one I'm having a little trouble with😂

[@allie5852]

@AutiKamal thank you so much!

[@tusharmehta653]

A wave probably, or 'fire' might be used to represent passion, anger or excitement

[@caidencecollins323]

i know i'm really late to your comment lmao but you can move as if you are on fire, or there's fire surrounding you, or you can become the flame and flicker around and catch on things. there is also the idea of symbolizing it where you can think passion, danger, and just stuff like that. even tho I was late I hope that could help :)

[@isabellepaige2296]

I do dance and my dance teacher doesnt do any of my solos, i do them all myself. I wasnt worrying about them because i thought they werent in the dance competition, turns out i have 3 solos and i only know 1 of them. There is about 2-3 weeks until the competition and i need to chreograph both. Last time i did these 2 solos i came 1st so i need to get 1st again and im really nervous. This video helped so much, thank you so much xx

I really like this video but what would u choreograph when you’re choreographing a dance to a song with no words or to a song in a different language do you just go to the rhythm of the music?

[@annymus4502]

Auti Kamal Have you done it already? I don’t wanna pressure you, of course. It’s your channel, but I haven’t found it yet. Btw, love your content, subbed. Hope to see more lyrical dance videos as well as other amazing ones. 🥰🥰🥰💃🏻

Omg thank you thank you thank you!! I may be 3 years late but I have seen this video when I was younger and couldn't really dance! I have dance classes at my school now and since it's the end of the final semester, my dance teacher is giving my class a major grade on choreographing a dance! I haven't had much experience with lyrical, hiphop, or jazz (which all 3 dance elements will be in my dance project) and lyrical is a big part of the dance! So thank you!!! This helps so much!!!!!
