Acting-based lip sync routine. Learn this on Saturday as part of a Valentine's Day-Themed "NIGHT OF DANCE"! Schedule and tickets below.
I filmed 4 love-themed prompts back to back (this is just 1, & they're not all sad!) and WOW was it tough to get through.
A challenging emotional rollercoaster, in the best way possible.
This time I showed in real-time the prompt being read and the song starting with no cuts so you get a sense of the amount of time I have to prepare before performing.
I don't know what the prompt is going to be and I don't prep what I'm going to do beforehand.
Teaching these very specific skills is always a joy and so valuable for any artists, not least of which dancers, to develop. Can't wait for class on Saturday!
(Prompts were read by my husband, who was the only person in the room. I'm still not gathering with people.)
Thank you to everyone who submitted prompts in my IG Story!

She’s so affected in each one, this is enchanting

[@LuisaB-xr8qf]

1. sadness 2. frustration 3. excitement & nostalgia 4. shyness & excitement

[@mikaela3048]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS i also felt anxiety on the 4th JUST AMAZING

[@tinaschiefer4206]

Galen's ability to express so much with something as "little" as a look amazes me evertime ❤

[@houstonasterisks7561]

Can’t believe I went to high school 4 years with this talent

[@giuseppedoodiekins]

The only person I let play with my emotions this personally is shonda rhymes. It’s so good it’s upsetting. I guess this is what I’ll be learning saturday.

[@dudiks012]

Lmaooo yessss

[@watchingyoutube_]

It makes me sad that nearly everyone watching this has one person that comes to mind while watching this.

[@andalamoore]

You got me 😟

[@aslidemirkol]

exactly

[@thetransition7581]

Of course Galen did amazing on all 4 but it’s definitely the “you’ve fallen in love but you’re afraid to say I love you first” for me

[@bigash1257]

I can feel the emotion so much in just the little movements I really loved watching the emotion you put into everything

[@washdolly1]

A life with you must be emotive and brilliant. You share so much with so little. Thank you.

[@ddddanirev]

Gah, this made me feel a million things. Each prompt had me struck with tears and a knotted stomach AND all for different reasons. Thank you for this artistry and beauty. You’re a gift.

[@mikaela3048]

YES YES YESSSSSS SAMEEEE

[@xxleborioxx]

"One Queen stands before me..."

[@manjarymuniandy1479]

It's amazing how you could pull off respective emotions perfectly. I'm so moved! I wonder how people could dislike this video?! This is such a versatile performance!

[@davidlarson2770]
