I don't know who you'd be able to get, but I know a while ago you did at least one dance video with members of Now United. (Heyoon, Sina, Sofya, Josh, etc.)

[@atifahibrahim3542]

If we're being honest, a lot of the popular dancers today got their following because of Matt and he paved the way for choreographers and dance vids on KZbin! I've been here for so long and will continue to support you!

[@valeriag8205]

A lot of the popular dancers didn’t get it from Matt, but from their own hard work and being recognized from videos since they were 10. Kaycee for instance didn’t get popular when she was in Matt’s classes. Neither did Sean Lew. And then there’s people like Ysabelle who built her way up to the top herself.

I had no idea your back story. You have risen from the trenches of backstabbing friends, theft from record labels and you always maintained that smile and passion to bring dance to those who were just like you. Thank you I’m 54 and too old to do the things I always did in my bedroom but too shy to do in a dance class but I love watching you get our youth involved and breakthrough some of their insecurities.

[@abutterflyloves]

I really can't tell you how long I have been a follower of yours. All I know is I am 52 years old, and raising an autistic granddaughter who is now 11. Life gets so rough for me sometimes. Life is easy for me, compared to her, who is severe non verbal. Can you imagine that? She loves music. She lives on KZbin, Pandora. She makes playlists. She searches. She introduces me to new music. I spent years watching your dance videos when I was down. Your positive energy, and your community raises me to keep on going. Anyway. Yesterday Monica found APT by Rose and Bruno Mars. And it stuck in my head because she played it several times. Algorithm to today, I am strolling reels or whatever, and there is your class dancing to APT, which lead me to this video. You keep rocking Matt. You inspire so many of us. It doesn't matter if we are dancers, or music lovers. Your videos shine. You and your friends GLOW into my life. Never ever settle. Never ever give up. I will be here. Monica, my granddaughter will be here.

[@itz_cathlyn6073]

It’s still so crazy to me that I started dancing because of your videos back when i was 11 or 13. Thank you for never giving up and continuing to grow in the path you want to take.

Jealousy is CRAZY. Smh... thanks for sharing your story! This is truly inspiring. It just shows that what's meant for you is for you. And if you keep fighting, you will make your way.

[@NekoWaifu]

This story😭 when they say everyone in LA is fake it's no exaggeration. I never thought of you of just as a KZbin dancer. Thank you for working hard and never giving up

[@nikkipew]

This is a gross generalization from a local. And usually the fakies are not natives. They come from small towns seaking opportunity just like Matt, where he created his dreams here in LA! Its a tough city when you are in an industry like Matt. Jealously is a helluva drug. It takes courage to come to a BIG city and believe in yourself, LA is one of those places and it takes time to cultivate a community much less a positive self-concept of yourself. So yeah ppl are fake when they don't know who they are. Peace

[@princess_niya2407]

The fake ness that comes from LA is from the transplants(nonnative people ) not the locals

[@GetUnwoke]

The fake ones are the transplants from other states who move here for fame and fortune. They have this image of what a Californian is and try to lay it on thick with their fakeness. Don't diss the native Angelinos like that. 🙄

The inspiration we have felt as we have watched an entire generation of dancers grow - as dancers, but also as young people to adulthood. Thank you for all of it, and for what you continue to give. I loved watching Kaycee and Sean grow and transform, but the truth is that SO MANY dancers cut their dancing teeth on your channel. I know that you'll choose well.🥰💃🏼

[@kritijain7605]

Matt, I'm not even lying when I am saying this, but you literally are the reason why I have come so far in my dancing today. I remember when I was 13 and I came across your dance videos, and all I wanted to do was learn dance but I didn't have the opportunity to do so in a proper studio, everything I know today is because of you- you inspire me so much and I want to be exactly like you.

If it weren't for you I would probably not be a dancer today. I was injured for years and couldn't dance, but watching your videos kept the dream alive for me. I remember how so many times, as I walked on the treadmill to keep myself fit, I would watch your videos as I walked, and that would keep me motivated to be able to dance once again. Thank you so much. So glad you are not quitting. I was scared of possibly hearing that you would be shutting down the channel. Glad to hear you are evolving and taking it in a new direction.

Matt, i know this is one of a billion comments but you saved me. In 2017-2018 around when you made that tutorial for MIA i was out of shape and not feeling so great. I was over weight and sitting around the house eating feeling sad. I wanted to start getting fit and found you videos on YT. I was always into dancing since i first was able to get into club I had a tight group of friends who also loved to dance and we went to diff clubs and got the dancing started. People would be standing around waiting for the first few people to go out and dance,,, we were those few people. Then i was in ARMY and family stuff happened and then after my kids grew up I was sad and bored. You got me up and helped me lose 50 lbs dancing to your videos. They were hard enough to challenge me but not so hard i gave up. I was in best shape of my life after losing that weight and eating better bc of your videos. I would start my day dancing and working out. I got up to 50 pushups from 6 when i started and felt amazing. Then covid came and shut down my favorite places to go dancing and now I gained back that 50lbs. I need to start over too. I am 57 years old this year but i know what i need to do just have to get it started...lol I just wanted to thank you for your help with bringing back dance to my life.

Hi Matt Steffania. I can not tell you how much joy your videos have brought to my life. I was a little kid and I would practice your choreography with my brother and my cousins. It became a highlight whenever I have guest over. My love for dance started with you.

I opened dance shows and did solos and all of these things I never thought possible after surgery. Thank you Matt for being an absolute light.

Hey! Matt my nam is Tydiss your story really moved me I’ve been a dancer/choreographer 11 years. I from Stockton, California where we can be overlooked for the most part in Cali. I understand how it is grinding to the point where it didn’t get better or anywhere anymore. I went from not dancing as great in my elementary school, joining dance clubs and dance teams during high school, to working in dance studios, to comps, to having my first dance studio in Stockton the 1st to have one at the age of 21 in my hometown. With all of that happening of course there was so much passion I have and lost of it , pain, and perseverance I had to go through including the Covid period. There’s so much I want to share including what I’m capable of. Hopefully you can bring in some local innovators/dancers into your new creative experience you have coming soon. It was always a blast learning the choreos you made with amazing and talented dancers/choreographers on KZbin. Glad to see you pivoting into a time where the dance scene feels dead or not as fun anymore. I’m happy for you and hope I get to meet you one day! Much love and respect 🙌🏾✨

@08:33 - to about 11:00 minutes Everything you said around this really broke me because I always loved dancing. My daughter and I make instrumentals on YT because she loves making music with me. But I can never tell her my first love was always dancing and choreography because it doesn’t seem worth it for her to hear it.

[@yantinglai7183]

Wow, matt, I wanna thank you so much and I can't believe that when I knew you back in 2019 in Melbourne when knowing you had 10 million subscribers on KZbin, I thought your life was sorted and you had it all...and then you were so nice that day coz I was just a volunteer in the class at the Space studio in Melbourne but you let me took the class for free. You also took time to take photos with everyone and I took one photo with you... and I just remembered the humbleness you kept even you became famous, and I am forever grateful...Now I am studying in United States and visited Millenium a couple of times, and I just wanna say thank you for keep helping people, because of your energy and love for dance got passed in me, and I was able to chase that light and go a little bit further than I could ever had imagined. So thank you and I wish your new chapter in life nothing but the best...Namaste.

[@jesettnoarin2958]

I'd never imagined myself crying on one of your videos. Few years ago, I didn't knew how to properly dance and thought to myself that I'll never be a great dancer. I've watched almost every single one of your videos from 2014 up to this day. Na Na was the first ever dance video that I've watched from you and it even had the names of the dancers at the bottom, but actually Slow Motion was the first ever dance choreography that I learned from you, and I learned it with the help of your tutorials back then. Few years later, I'm now a captain of my university dance team, and have danced in such big places here in my home country, the Philippines all because I learned from your dance videos. Hope to see you on tour again, Matt. Hopefully I can afford your classes when you come back here. Thank you for doing this, thank you for being such an inspiration, you will always be my first virtual dance teacher. Love to have you and the OGs back, Bailey, Ken, Sean, Gabe, Will, Josh, Kaycee, Tati, Taylor, Andy, Sierra, Sheadan, Soni and even Aidan.

Thank you for having the guts to tell your real story!! Have watched your vids since I was a little kid, just learning about the dance scene. I’m grateful for your input on not only the dance community but also as a inspiration for other dancers around the globe, trying to make their passion a success. Excited to see where your channel will go from here! And keep listening to yourself, because greatness will come from it! Thanks from The Netherlands

[@sksunshine4860]

I am a 51yo woman from Canada who first saw one of your videos back in 2019 and I started following you because of the joy that exuded from you in your videos. I am a complete klutz and trip over minute bumps in the sidewalk so watching someone do intricate moves in unison with you was incredible. I have noticed less joy in the few I have watched but have to be honest, your videos haven't been hitting my feed recently. I look forward to seeing where you are heading and will check for your content rather than waiting for it to appear. You've stuck through it and I respect that, can't wait to see what's next!

[@markcarroll6252]

Yoooo. I'm proud of you. For never giving up, of course but, also for the shifting of gears. Making a move like this isn't always easy. Being able to see a new or different path when the fire has dimed ain't any easier. I've always loved dance and many forms of movement . I'm kinda old now and I lost the fire completely but when I found your material it rekindled that love and passion. I was late finding your videos but they helped with some dark times and , still do. They still bring joy and I'm still catching sauce that I missed the first dozen times watching. I look forward to this new thing with anticipation.

[@yshn_rys]

I was on Mia Mugavero's tiktok live last few days and she shares about her love to dance to the point that is it hard for her to give it up and to live between passion or career. She also mentions how you still looking and rooting for her. So please, I would love to see Mia Mugavero dancing with you, again. And I would like to thank you too for being my first inspiration to my very first journey in dancing. I could still remember back then when I was around 9 yrs old, I don't have phone so I would go to computer shop and stay there for like 2 hrs just to watch and learn your videos. So thank you. I never thought that your journey was literally upside down but I'm glad and happy that all of your achievements blooms You deserve it!

Thank you so much and I hope your feeling better with this new start! ❤

[@Kri_Kittens]

Omg... I've only joined Matt's community recently, but never got to know his story since I'm still quite new here, and never took any of his classes. I remember seeing him on TikTok in Covid, but never realised the opportunities choreographers bring to their dancers through a screen. Matt, your story is so inspiring, and I admire your persistence and resilience so much. I'm not an og fan, but based on others' stories of success, such as Mr Beast, it's usually more based on deeper meanings, such as your new message here. I totally agree with this change and I really like it because it's a new idea - I've never heard of anyone who interviews dancers and shares their stories in such a chaotic industry, nor have i heard the stories of my own favourite dance teachers before, so you can be the one to bring them to the internet! I absolutely loved listening to yours, so I'd definitely enjoy listening to all the others. I'm all here for it and I'm really excited!! Please interview Kelly Sweeney and Guy Groove - the teachers who gave me so many opportunities, even from a world away, and who i appreciate so much ❤❤❤ I'd love to listen to theirs too. Please don't quit dancing overall though! You're an amazing dancer and we love you, Matt! Dancers can always find their love for dance again when stepping back from the industry. Think about it :) This is can get so big, I'm so excited. Let's go Matt, you've got this!!! 🎉🎉

[@HigherSelfVlogs]

I think it is so normal as humans to not pursue just 1 thing our whole lives. I feel that there is pressure for everyone to choose one thing and stick to it as far as a job. The fact that you didn’t get paid from your KZbin videos and still continued to do it just shows how truly passionate you were about it. I think it’s completely natural to go in a different direction, as when we do things over and over again, it may get boring after a while cause it’s not new any more. I’ve personally faced things like this throughout my whole life. I also have adhd so that may be part of it 😅 But thank you for being honest with us. I’m sure it wasn’t an easy decision to make considering how long you’ve been making dance videos on this channel. I’m excited to see who you have on the channel in the future! ❤

[@1Chase0]

Matt, you've actually changed my life! I remember when I first stumbled upon your 'Where Are Ü Now' by Justin Bieber tutoria. I wasn't a dancer nor knew anything about choreographies. I was in shock at how captivating and mesmerizing the choreography was. So, I gave it a shot and started learning it, not knowing this would change my life drastically. I started dancing every day, learning new moves, going to dance classes, and even performing in front of others. Your videos have been a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I can't thank you enough for igniting my passion for dance and I'll forever be grateful for you no matter what you do or where you'll go ❤

As long as you happy I think that’s what’s really matter. I follow you since 2013 I guess and I’ve aways enjoyed watching your videos, I’ve seen Keice Rice, Bailey Sok, Tati Macquay, Tahani…and many others getting better and better…I even had my “moment” seen a Brazilian girl: Leticia Garcia, making part of one of your classes and your video. I wish I could be as brave as you’ve been I would be much happier with my self. But I wish you all the best, and riches all your dreams. And I definitely would love to see the history behind all this dances I’ve mentioned. Many thanks Xx
