How to KNEE DROP (Best & Safest Technique) | Locking Dance Tutorial

[@ludensrioter]

always wondered how to knee drop without getting hurt and this helped. before: knee pads?. changed my mind 180. ty for another great tutorial. you're wayyy better than my last 'real' instructor

[@ludensrioter]

wanted to ask you, I can finally do the split, but I can't come up again, so If I want to use split I have to use it as final move cause I can't come back up. So, how do I get up from the split? same way as coming back up from knee drop?

[@JoeyTheJAM]

@@ludensrioter I have a video for this! Check out my jazz split tutorial

[@juliuschan7478]

i finally don't hurt my knees and do it smoothly after watching this tutorial, thanks very much!!! Also, if you don't mind, may you do a tutorial about jazz split as i found it difficult when doing between moves. it will be great if you could do this tutorial and it's just a suggestion😊. BTW, thanks for spending time making these useful and brilliant tutorials, i am really looking forward to new ones!!!:)

[@georgee-talkbox]

Love the Tutorial. He is Funky and knows how to explain the Move without destroying the knees. Respect.

[@jdance73]

Great instructional! I wasn’t searching for this, but you drew me in. I’ll have to check out your other videos. Very impressed. Now let’s see if I can impress myself by doing it! 😀 Wish me luck!

[@judymcgaugh6480]

This is the best video about this move . As far as I know, no one has ever shown this step in detail before.. very informative...

[@JoeyTheJAM]

Thank you! Glad to hear it’s helpful for you!

[@ГеоргийИванов-участникшоуЛучше]

The best locking tutorial in youtube!!👍👍👍

[@pmilne100]

I wish I'd seen this before - this guy coulda saved me a lot of untutored rock'n'roll move injuries in my 20s!

[@ronsampsons5thchannel711]

Brilliant you definitely filled the gaps in my technique. you showed me without saying it. start wide and low and press down on your big toes. I go down with more control 👍

[@johnmichaeldeleon1084]

The content lives up to the title! It's indeed the best and safest approach. I'm recommending this video to people asking us how to knee drop effectively and safely (coz I'm that lazy these days to shoot myself lol). But really, this is the best and most thoughtful knee drop tutorial I've ever seen. Really really great work, Jam! I do have a suggestion! It's actually inspired from one of the comments here on beginner-friendly locking. I mean, sure, locking is so cool with the knee drops, jazz half splits, swan dives, and other stunts. But I can't emphasise enough the versatility and potential of the very first moves Don created for the Campbellock: the lock, giving a five, points, pacing, and wrist rolls. I'm not sure whether you've already made a video each for giving a five and points, but once you're done I think it'll be a wise idea to make a video that focuses only on these five basic moves. It'll be like a video that synthesises them and emphasising that you actually don't have to be doing the advanced, fancy stunts to call yourself as a locker and that it only takes these five to dance locking. Not only this makes another beginner-friendly video, but it also makes your channel even more friendly and reliable for beginners. I'm thinking of showing possible combos, patterns, angles, and orientations using the five basics as content. I'm coming from an information from my students before that "In cyphers, sometimes, I don't know what to do next, so I keep going back to the Skeeter Rabbit or Scoo B Doo until I think of another good combo." So, the video will be sort of a toolkit to enhance one's use of the basics? So that it does not come out as you're just pacing all the time, wrist rolling all the time. It's like showing your skills, variations, and other stuff that you can do with these basics. I hope you get what I mean haha, like a back-to-basics thing. It's always wise and nice to fortify your foundations because they are your bestfriend in the given dance style. That's all! Haha. Looking forward to the jazz half split! :)

[@JoeyTheJAM]

Thank you John Michael! It’s funny you say this, because I actually have already planned to release a video exactly like you described 😊 in my classes, I always emphasize that you only need the groove and those 5 fundamentals to be able to fully dance in the style! I will be realizing a points tutorial on its own (which I should have done a long time ago 😅) as well as this type of video. I appreciate your comments, suggestions, and support! 🙏🏼

[@johnmichaeldeleon1084]

@@JoeyTheJAM I always appreciate your warm responses! Looking forward to your tutorials as always! Keep it up! :)

[@DeathSpellXVI]

Your tutorials are great, you explain so clearly!

[@chiantiprice92]

These safety tips are golden. Thanks man 😊

[@staridise]

Came here to learn this properly before learning ONEUS’ Black Mirror choreography, and it was so helpful, thank you! When they do their knee drops it looks like they don’t fully land on their feet before falling to their knees tho,,, doesn’t look the safest💀 lmao

[@bingsoobinn]

I’m trying to learn no rules without breaking my knees 💀

[@denisershov8307]

Thank you for your tutorial. Keep it up. Love from Russia ❤️

[@1earth2moon31]

[@thedrop520]

[@jessiesheppard6735]

I hurt my knees when I first started doing it because I was falling on the front of them until I learned to drop on the inner part like you said and to catch my fall with my feet

[@fa9059]

[@JoeyTheJAM]

[@arijitsaha966]

[@swezin8450]

wow mega joey you're awesome.I wonder about some stunt like flying donkey,swan dive and dive(one hand).

[@JoeyTheJAM]

Thank you Swe Zin! Those are signature moves so I won’t be teaching those specifically, but I will definitely be reading more tutorials on dynamics 🙂

[@cfalcon8342]

Is it possible to improve hip flexibility so you can put your whole foot on the ground during the knee drop? I can only get my toes planted

[@JoeyTheJAM]

Yes definitely. There are specific stretches to work on your external hip rotation flexibility.

[@prateek_dance_official]

Loved it

[@christianlegnetti7671]

That is not the way Travolta did it in Saturday Night Fever, both of his knees were parallel when going down, & he used both his legs & upper torso combined with crossing his arms for balance & leverage!

[@rashmijain590]

It's hard

[@Smylex659]

I Am Here Mainly Because Of The Lockers!
