[@Mianmumu_]

your confidence is 1000% beautiful

[@inofanmegastar]

The improvement 😍 Could you pls checkout my yt? I'd like to hear what you think of my covers as a self-taught absolute beginner. I'm planning to upload a 1yr comparison of all this it's dances in a week or so(already recorded. Just gotta edit...after I finish writing lab reports 😩).

[@shubhitewari4283]

hey I have a question, what lighting, camera do you use to film your covers?

[@andre_karavia]

You have improved so much! Good job.

[@elif-esmapapatya961]

Where are you from ?? Korea

[@kanyin.f4488]

The main difference is that she got rid of the awkwardness in her dance.

[@raptea9638]

Awkward= facial expressions, confidence, sharper moves, etc. She improved a lot of things when you consider the "awkwardness"

[@ninoslanguagejourney6002]

Well I think "awkwardness" is actually just what makes someone a beginner lol and losing it is what makes you at least intermediate to advanced

[@kenzie_845]

Agreed, awkwardness can also be seen as even fractions of seconds where she would stand still or the lack of confidence when dancing makes it awkward. Her dancing is a lot more “defined” and sharp she’s also gotten rid of her awkwardness and is much more fluid!

[@q_q123]

really confidence and actually feeling the music is key to losing stiffness

[@staypositive5359]

kzbin.infoBRJrGyv3RAk?feature=share

[@angelinaitsme3255]

The differences Brighter camera More makeup Clean background Moves that are not so stiffed More power

[@stefanrichter5458]

And I think her timing was also better

[@sam4drita]

@@stefanrichter5458 yess. My exact thoughts

[@blodyn7802]

She made sure to exaggerate the moves a bit more (this goes by confidence), this helps there not be any awkward pauses and it helps with finishing the move in the right timing (I am so so bad at doing this that's why I focus on things like that(

[@keziadayu]

and more facial expressions

[@rinhakemoto7486]

That makes all the difference

I am always saying to my parents to stop coming in when I am trying to fricking dance!!!

[@raynatumbeva780]

I definitely see a big improvement. You actually extend your moves quite well, your angles are also quite good. These two seem to be among your strengths and they seem to improve faster. You also don't skip and shortcut moves. Your arms are actually good. What I think would benefit you the most is improving fluidity, torso control and transitions between moves. These three are related. You seem to be more of a power-centered dancer, so it's normal for these to be your weaker areas.

[@AmyYFan]

This is really helpful, thank you!! I agree, I've been reading everyone's comments and have started stretching a lot more to improve fluidity. Will keep working hard :)

[@wenf5693]

Love these professional comments.

[@maramluvsu]

honestly so shocked that u improved that much in only one year, i’ve always wanted to dance and sing, but i don’t have the confidence

you can TELL how you're so much more comfortable with the same exact moves now, you're also doing the moves bigger, you're literally shining in the cover from this year !

Thank you so much!!

[@seosoojinhearteu02]

GURL I- OMIGOD. Your 2019 one definitely was a little sloppy and the dance movements weren’t executed properly BUT YOUR 2020 one, omggggg. it looks so good. You weren’t that clumsy looking dancer anymore, you’re pretty good! I can’t wait till you improve more in the future because I just know you will. You’re such an inspiration 🥺🥺♥️

Omg thank you!!💕 When I first started dancing kpop, I looked so bad that I wanted to quit right away, but I’m so glad I got through the most awkward stage 😅

[@AmyYFan]

ahh I’m so glad!! Thank you so much! ☺️

[@orangeroll61]

The technique, the attention to detail, the fluidness, AND the facial expressions have all improved SO MUCH

[@swinter9936]

you definitely improved a lot in this year congrats! I'm not a professional dancer but if you would like to hear some advice: I think your arms and torso are very well coordinated and precise, I think you should now focus on learning some dances in which you would have to use your legs a lot so you could improve dancing with them. Sometimes it looks like you are not really sure of where to put them so you kinda look tentative if you know what I mean.

[@AmyYFan]

You're so on point and thank you!! I'm reading through everyone's feedback and have started working on this :)

[@stangongjiho1602]

5:35 i thought that the real big difference is that in 2019 you were dancing and trying to not do any mistake and memorize every little detail in the choreography which made you so slow, careful and little bit awkward, but in 2020 you gained confidence and you are just dancing naturally of course after a lot of practices your body will do it naturally without thinking about doing any mistake.. that’s what i thought

[@stangongjiho1602]

plus the dance moves became more sharper and it shows that you are confident 👍

[@kittycatwonie]

Oh my this gives me confidence for myself! I’m also in that awkward stage because I just started with no dance experience whatsoever. But seeing your improvement inspires me! Thank you💕

[@rymasiuuu6312]

you really improved your facial expressions u look so comfy and confident in 2019 u look like u are scared and stressed here u look like a backeup yg dancer lol i love it

[@AmyYFan]

omg thank you!! I'm still a long way from being a backup dancer haha I'm just glad I got through the most awkward phase and hopefully will keep improving :)

[@harenamajuran6576]

I got impressed by how much you could tell you improved and it gives me motivation to actually try and practice because it'll look just as good as how you did dancing to solo after a year.

ahh thank you!! for sure and stay tuned 🤗

[@alex-qg3fr]

wow you’ve improved so much in a year! in 2019 i felt like you were taking the exact movements too seriously and didn’t give yourself some room to move freely, but you’ve really improved in that area (among many others) and you’ve done amazing overall!

[@bappadityabhattacharya4433]

You're so much more confident. You shining through the screen girl. Loved it. That looks like I still have chances

[@alexawhyatt5383]

Okay I see a HUGE difference! You are WAYYYY more confident this time around, and holy Jesus the energy you bring is amazing! Big improvements! Tip: just add in a few different facials, you held a smile almost the whole time! A smile is good for a lot of dances but this is a more darker song, so maybe try giving a model look here and there, and that’s really it!

[@AmyYFan]

omg thank you so much!!! You're totally right and that's one of the hardest things for me haha I smile a lot because I don't know how to make other expressions, but I'm slowly working on that! 😅

[@coffteatimewithchey1952]

The improvement is INSANE!! I'm a contemporary dancer but I've always been interested in hip hop and more upbeat styles, but I've struggled so much. Even with my LITTLE experience going to workshops and observing, I can see how your confidence skyrocketed and it helped you execute the choreo with precision and it's so clear that you can differentiate between subtle vs explosive moves. Your facials are awesome too! Good job.

[@Pokpak_Manoban]

u did really really good like I definitely see the improvement tho I have to say at 7:56 I think this certain move needs a little bit more practice. but overall your Solo dance is FANTASTIC😇😇

[@genefeet6418]

i love the drastic change in energy + charisma! in 2019, it is seen that you're quite stiff-- you don't seem to move a lot, making the dance and choreo seem blank, whilst in the year after, your dance is more energetic. you put more movements in the small pauses, making the song seem more captivating than it was last year. as an individual who has danced for a little over four years, im shocked (in a good way) that someone can improve so much in over a year! i have been going through a small block, and seeing this gave me motivation! love your covers, by the way :D

I just want to say that I watch a lot of critics especially in dance and acting which are both needed. i started knowing what to focus on. a lot of people are not that bad at dancing, it's just about their confidence and their acting in their performance. you don't just have to memorize the choreography and have timing , you also have to express the emotion. you have to tell a story and you have to catch the audiences attention. you have to tell the world this is who you are. i loved this performance! i just say keep working on your face expressions and really get the emotion of the song. but you did improve a lot in a year! keep working hard i'd love to see you dance more!
