I don't see people of color black people. what is happening here???

[@davielawrence3773]

@@Art_of Maybe they just like other sports more? I also don't see people with disabilities, transgender, people with Polynesian or Mongolian background and many others. But I'm sure, if they would like to take part in the class they would be welcomed. Don't make anything a race thing.

Great

Nice work , looks more more contemporary jazz though

[@kowsik2724]

What is name of dance?

[@tricia_music]

I started dancing when I was four, but I didn't like it so I stopped after 5th grade... I'm in 10th now and I haven't danced since... is it too late to start again? Like if I had to start, should I do it as a beginner or intermediate (where I left off) any advice would do. Thanks.

[@Kelli330]

Fung Tricia Go for it!! I know several professional dancers that started late and they’re amazing...start with beginning ballet and go from there. The basics are ESSENTIAL!!! Good luck 😊🤩😁

[@thediabolicalempath7246]

Fung Tricia I’m doing intermediate ballet and I started dancing with I was 5 years old. If you stopped after the fifth grade, you still have muscle memory from your previous dance training.

to all those not happy about the face-shots = you tell more of the story by showing face, I love some of the facial expressions, it gives it more meaning,tell a more complete story (peoples brains are wired to want to read peoples faces - it's part of our evolutionary survival mechanism)

[@damonskinfurry7725]

Like Fossie's...cool

[@Tina-qp7py]

Well, the dancers know the steps but does the choreography go with the music? Also, I know it's a class but why have everyone dancing the same thing? Have them get into small groups and showcase each other with improvised movement. Like in hip hop, one dancer will take the center, then another. That always gets my attention.

[@anoukdc]

maybe one camera in the front in the future? it would give a better view/understanding of the dance. nonetheless, loved it!

Can someone tell this camera man that when he films people dancing he has to film their body not their faces!!

[@happy_one_yearr]

But half the beauty is seeing the dancers' expressions and how they feel their moves. Expression is part of the presentation

[@ranjitprakash1986]

@@happy_one_yearr Exactly! expressions make the difference!

a huge part of dance is your facial expressions. without their facial expressions it’d be boring.

[@eloisemarie5219]

I want to see the dance. If I see the whole person, then I can also see their facial expressions. Seeing pieces of a dance just doesn't do it for me.

[@p.fantuci]

Looks nice. Just wish I could actually see the routine.

We lose details over these camera angles :/ Maybe a wider angle or a single view at the front would give a better look to the coreography.

The guy was the best one....you could tell in the wide steady video. I actually cried a few tears watching him.

[@letoubib21]

I'm desperately sorry, but that ain't Jazz *Dance,* that's merely *ground acrobatics.* Much to much acrobatics, and much too little dancing. Don't you know the good, old proverb: *_" First of all, dancing are movements of the feet"_* Regards, Étienne Alaman, inter alia keyboardist & choreographer

[@Benny-xy9vd]

I have no experience in dance but I love it. I want to join jazz but I'm scared of being judged by those other people who are more experienced

[@anabelltoledo4192]

And btw the more experienced ppl will judge but its mostly constructive or they keep it to themselves

[@Czadzikable]

Don't be scared! Join an adult class! There are some classes specifically for beginners and some for mixed skill where you will find a mixture of complete beginners of all ages (adult), medium skill amateur hobbyists and some retired professionals. It's quite fun to be able to watch those more experienced in the same class - they will *not* judge you though! They're there to dance, not to judge or compete - everyone is there because they want to dance - and so no matter what ability level they're at, they will be happy that other people want to dance too (otherwise there'll be no classes!) and they will be encouraging and supportive to anyone just starting out or wanting to improve. And generally the culture of dance classes is so, that dancers don't comment on each other - other than mutual encouragement. Only the dance teacher will give instructions and constructive criticism - and the dance teacher will never make any personal or mean comments - they will try to help you to do exercises /movements more correctly and just tell you things like: "here the leg goes like this: ___", "Good.", "Point your toes.", "Straighten the supporting leg.", "Yes, that's better.", "Keep your left arm like this during this movement." [they might physically help you put it in the right position /angle], "Straighten your back like this [they will use their palms on your back gently to help you achieve the right posture], "On 7-8 look along your right arm." - etc. - Dance class is full of technical corrections and explanations like this from the dance teacher to individuals or to the whole class - it's not personal and no one will judge you on receiving corrections - everyone is focusing on listening to the teacher's comments /reminders and improving themselves - and everyone will value receiving personal corrections from the teacher, as it means you can improve more! 😁 I see now your comment is from a year ago... Did you go to dance classes? If you haven't yet, start this September!

[@samevans1289]

@@Czadzikable Just wanted to let you know your encouragement doesn't go unappreciated. :) Thanks! Unfortunately, all the dance classes that I'm interested in around me are for kids. Only ballroom dancing for adults around here. :')

[@sdsv9326]

Don't be scared jazz/comtemporary dance is fantastic I joined jazz dance with very litle experience comparing to others and i love it. Now,I've been dancing for 2 years

[@janetjuliao5039]

That's why you join a beginers class, don't worry you will be fine, I didn't start dancing till I was 14, then I had a break and started again when I was 17. I'm a way better dancer now because I never gave up and I'm 37.

I always wanted to do ballet but I'm much more suited to jazz... excellent performance !

[@dyanlopez8180]

Very cool everyone. Jazz sure has changed from when I was dancing professionally. It was more like Rhythm Nation style. Keep up the great work everyone. I love watching the youth of this generation. I miss dancing. keep posting and keep dancing.

[@Ren_tu]

Музыка сама по себе, танец сам по себе. Движения должны плыть вместе с музыкой, танец - это песня движений. А здесь попытка засунуть в такт как можно больше, совершенно не следуя гармонии

[@markfrinch7865]

And then you meet one of them in a bar or club and they cant dance with a partner -.- downer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5fOfXSco8R5jc0

[@whoopsll-6360]

Would this be Contemporary?

[@Dmattmc]

I would say Lyrical Jazz, or Lyrical contemporary maybe

[@kenjoneslee]

It's a form of JAZZ because they aren't barefoot....it's very rhythmic....and some of the poses are commonly used in JAZZ.

I was gonna take a jazz dance class cuz i thought it was the salsa or something, good thing i googled it first

[@zezilyrivas613]

grandioso perfomance ...

[@eucf5225]

Why do I feel like a lot of them are a bit tense or dont move so fluid and natural? I am not a dancer and I don't know if this is how it is, but to me feels so like that. The arms are very tense in a lot of the girls in my opinion, and the legs dont look that flexible

[@MissPomegranate_kaleidoscope]

I dont know why people dancing in a group but in their own unique styles makes me feel happy.

[@MaddieFishblob]

The dance was purrfect!👌 I just think it changed camera angles a too much. Hold the zoomed out bigger picture of all the dancers for lonnnnggggerrrrr! That way it’s easier to tell what’s going on 😉 (just a tip tho - u don’t have to actually listen to me tho🤷‍♀️😏 I’m kinda dumb)

[@cheynefulgum2515]

The dance was so beautiful it’s had a lot of emotion in it the girl put a lot of passion into the dance there facial expressions matches very well with the dance it’s was perfect

[@malinkobay]

Mal filmé, mal monté, on voit surtout des cheveux qui volent ! C'est une pub pour du shampoing ?

[@susawiesner2998]

Sooo nice! But I would prefer a static angle and not so many cuts. I think in a static view especially the dynamic of the group can seen better.

[@ОльгаСерова-э5я]

If anyone is looking for x100 alt it is definitely mHLX. While most of people stacked with ETH 2.0, TON and other buzz stuff - Helix is making real deals. It is IOTA 2.0. Both in terms of tech and future hype. But IOTA aims to be a one-stop-shop ecosystem, like Yahoo. At Helix they build a lightweight glue layer to connect legacy enterprise systems (SAP) and oracles/smart contract platforms like Chainlink, Ethereum, Hyperledger. More like Google compared to Yahoo, so to speak. It is a truly hidden gem that will eventually melt faces when it starts growing!

[@z-mackdos6echo311]

Two things have hurt the knowledge base of the dance community. First was AIDS, the second was age. The true teachers of great jazz dance technique have died or are no longer teaching. Jaime Rodgers, Claude Thompson, and Hama. This group of dancers are lacking what these three renowned dancer instructor could instill in their technique. I know these dancers feel good about what they did here, but it’s not up to the standards of these men. They’re not truly connect to their core or the music. Continue working.

[@m.kamran522]

Great choreography well performed but direction sucks . Could have been better with a good straight visual shots . Rest everything is awesome 👍🙏
