i am almost 70, and i am filled with joy that dance has had SUCH a resurgence in the past decade. say what you will, and i often do, about nigel lythgoe, but he has brought dancers and choreographers front and center like never before. of course i knew of brian and wade and others, but know we know them like we never knew the likes of alvin ailey or bob fosse. thank you for this new level of participation in the art of dance.

[@h4o4p4e4f4u4l4]

I love what he said that "you have to do the right thing first before you try to look good." :)

[@wdcpsycho]

his words are like a flashback of my life...i love his work and heart...true dancer!

[@juliehulie100]

Great interview. I love Brian's devotion to teaching future generations. It's absolutely essential to pass on not only the technique but the values he was raised with and learned from his teachers. Bravo to Galen and Ds2dio..

[@smiles4949]

I'm not a dancer, but this was really enlightening! It's inspiring to see someone work their way up to the top. sidenote... i've never seen an interviewer with such great posture. i kept on getting distracted and just start to admire it.

[@italiangirl2789]

Wow, my 2 Favorite Choreographers in 1 place😚

[@DS2DIO]

Some of the best dancers in the world don't have formal training. Keep practicing and your love of dance will be your best guide!

[@DS2DIO]

You're welcome! Lots more fun stuff ahead!!

[@swirvcreatives]

This guy is amazing. I'm not a studio dancer, comin from bboying/ hiphop/ krump, and other forms of street style battle dances, so I don't know these industry names, but I can see just from the short clips of his choreo...this dude is legit. Not at all easy what he does and moves, and also to make the others move the same as he does. great interview, I like looking into the worlds of other dancers in genres I have yet to experience.

[@993fraser]

I have been a fan of Brian’s since Kids Incorporated and Newsies. So happy to watch this video! Thanks!

[@DS2DIO]

Yup! If you look on our main page, there's a schedule on the right hand side. Mondays - REMIXED. Wednesdays - S2DIO CITY. Thursdays - THE LXD. Fridays - MASTERCLASS. Thanks for watching!

[@hcadevink]

i love brian! he's my hero!

[@cendrandtazsnb]

Brian, i am going to the pulse in FEB. Can't wait to see you there!

[@thelawofdivineoneness458]

Wow what an insightful interview. I'm just sorry I didn't see it sooner. I hadn't heard of Brian Friedman until XFactor but since then I've been more conscious of his work. He and Jalen are hands down two of my favorites.

[@DesertRoses]

Great interview!! Enjoyed it!! I'm not a dancer(artist/animator actually) but what Brian said about how dance classes are conducted I believe is true no matter what you are studying. Nowadays it's about "looking good" and not the actual mechanics of teaching, whatever subject it is, which is very annoying to me. I happen to like the "keep your mouth closed and get down to business the proper way" but unfortunately there is less of that. Again great start to MasterClass!! =D

[@NoLimitzDance7]

You are truly and inspiration and even though you don't know me you are a huge mentor of mine thank you

[@GabiiiOliveiraaa]

Thanks Brian for sharing your thoughts / teachings. Thanks for reminding us the real n' most effective way of learning n' teaching dance, More than just show up. Thanks DS2DIO for making this interview, so precious, to reach us! Thank you! I appreciate it! =)

[@issiMoonla]

he start so young...need that determination =) .congrats and I have more Idols now!.. Ds2dio me presenta más idolos.. amazing job!!

[@daisy89cheung]

Thx so much for your sharing! I feel so touched

[@0ne0f0neMusic]

this has become my new favorite channel. You have earned a pin to my home page!! and might I add that Galen is looking soooooo hawt!!

[@CherryBlossom009]

I want to see that step touch! I love this!!!!!!!!!!! Can't. stop. smiling. :D

[@martinaflood7387]

He is amazing

[@LeoMoctezuma]

I love this man. My brother from another mother. I can honestly say that @BrianFriedman made a better Dancer. He challenged me on every dance job we did together & or that he choreographed / Directed. I am Forever grateful for our friendship. Dancers! Watch, Listen, Learn! #Dasit!

[@Silumis]

I wish this channel was more popular

[@richardfesalbon]

Thanks for this DS2DIO

[@RomeoH20]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!

[@xoleeleen]

So awesome and inspiring.

[@575beast]

I love this channel. Wow.

[@donkeykong5384]

Is that the lady from "bitch I'm Madonna video"

[@jiraya350]

I love this. I've got a question. Is there gonna be like a weekly schedule? Like every Monday you post an episode of remixed, and every Friday a masterclass and interview, etc? 'Cause I'm just dying of excitement right now.

[@VincentPaterson]

I really enjoyed this.

[@thefemmefatale9634]

That Slave 4 U choreography was iconic

[@lizkalee245]

[@weixin92yt]

[@DavionBOTDF]

Hey I Have A Question: Will MaddChadd be Featured in "Master Class", i would love to learn how to dance like him, he inspires me to dance, and i kind of know how to dance like him but i have that feeling that i can work on it and work on it and get to the point where i would be good enough to be like him, and i know im not the only one that wants to learn to dance like Chadd. I Love Dance, and im very excited for Step Up Revolution!

[@Rebeccamekka]

I HAVE A QUESTION! When do get to see Travis Payne ?

[@mkjab4eva]

hi D s2dio i have a small issue that i feel keeps holding me back, im 19 years old and began teaching myself to streetdance 2 years ago. i am now doing a university course in dance and drama and have fallen in love with all styles of dance. however, i feel that i lack the years of training/ technique that others around me have. i keep thinking i have started too late and will never be good enough to compete with them! any help? love your work already keep it up guys :D DANCE ON AND DANCE STRONG!

[@joshuarandle]

Are you ever too old to dance? I started taking dance classes when I was 27. Ive danced my entired life, the arts is who I am. I sing, I dance, I act and teach. But i still want tk perform. Is it too late for me?

[@adrianvelasques7160]

nah, I know a lot of dancers older than that.

[@hilitaXD]

Is that the girl in Neyos "one in a million " video ?

[@EmiryCoco18]

Ivy Sky Malik yes its her

[@JOYdance1]

thanks!!!

[@katervin1]

Brian, you are so handsome.

[@twitchywonka]

8:26 - 8:52 #TheTruth

[@ForeignFootwoorks]

Hi DS2DIO! I really want to work for Brian during X-Factor UK, how can I get in contact with him formally? I really appreciate what you guys give out to us dancers overseas, getting to hear the choreographers creative mind out loud really makes me study and explore my own creative process! Thank you for sharing such vital information to us

[@jayrobsah]

Hi DS2DIO i wanted to know if you guys can check out a show on youtube called CHASING 8s that Stacey Tookey is doing. I t would be great if you guys could pick the show up on your channel and make it even better. I suggested this on their page and they agreed. please check it out. Thanks

[@sunshinelovenv]

Yea but she's a great choreography Brian yanis too.
