It’s soooo ridiculous, how you choreograph these things with the most simplest and gentle movements to where it plays such a big roll in the meaning of the song, it’s sooo beautiful and powerful that your mind can see every way a movement is significant ❤️ you’re brilliant
Thanks for all the love! See you in class on Saturday, and sending you all a big virtual hug! Don't forget to comment below what you think the final prompt was!
Final dance-wondering and finding hope🖤 (Galen, your dancing and emotions, are incredible, you are so inspiring💃🕴) thank you for everything, your hard work and love for dance is amazing!!
i think the last prompt was: You're relieved because you just found out that you tested negative for Covid but still haven't fully regained your health yet
Thank you for your vibe and such emotional dancing. It's so cool! My suggestion - the final prompt is about the one falling in love but still don't want the other know this.
"Living in a lie" vs "Being comfortable and content with your true self" That's the vibe I got from the last video. Amazing choreography, I can't wait to try it out❤️.
Galen is an ARTIST. It's not just about the lyrics, the beat, or the choreography. It's about the FEELINGS...the heart. Love you, Galen. You are a beautiful human.
This tutorial is a reminder that everything we see is not real until we position ourselves on a point of view and interpret it to give it a reality. One song many interpretations, different points of view... So let's apply this knowledge to real-life... life has a lyric and we interpret it as we wish. Awaken! One more time art teaches big lessons! Thank you Galen!
2:37 I don't know why but the way she looks away and focuses her look is sooo mesmerizing! Also, in every choreo of hers I only look at her facial expressions because that's how minimalistic and incredible she can be.
so my guess is love. not necessarily in love with someone but finally loving yourself. you were sad in the beginning but as the dance progressed you became happy & in love with yourself.
This choreography really surprised me omg! This is my first time knowing dancing can be this meticulous！ At first I feel like the last one is bout living in a lie vs the liar. But when I tried to follow and act it out, really feeling every move and gaze, I feel like it's about being lie vs seeing through lies. (But maybe only manipulator can see through lies)
Not only am I a dancer!! I’m a mental health clinician. I studied to be a choreographer in 99, and now I’m here sending this to clients!! Boom goes the dynamite!!! @galenhooks, you rock! Thank you for letting me and my clients dance our emotions out! This is so incredibly therapeutic in so many ways!! Therapy doesn’t have to be just talk therapy
I agree with a lot of the other comments that the last one we guess is dance as if you are the liar. Some of the facial expressions and the way some of the movements seemed to command action from someone else gave me that feeling.
The second dance was you showing the lie what it had made to you but you express it with grace because it has been a life lecture and, after all, a beautiful dance.
5:27 left side is when I finally think my crush likes me back. The right side is me a minute later knowing that I'm fooling myself into thinking something that's not true
Living in a lie and the other one I would say someone living in her power. Someone that’s been there done that and knows what she deserves and knows she’ll never fall for that again. Ugh why am I crying
Chickadee, I’m not very keen on subscribing to things, but you are beyond brilliant. Nevermind that you’re generous with your talent and kind. Thanks for existing.
The last one makes me think you’re almost relishing in what’s happening like “good, fuck you” There was this little side smile and shoulder shrug like “I don’t care”. You have beautiful purpose in life Galen, please keep sharing and opening people up. I have a rare genetic disease that makes me unable to be very mobile, I currently dislocate 32 bones (and counting) in my body among other things; watching you dance brings me such joy and let’s my emotions escape with you. Dancers are beautiful therapy for me, so thank you from my soul.
@@MeganVictoriaKearns Thanks for the kind words. My grandma said I could either cry in my porridge and starve, or I could choose to eat it and live to fight another day. It stuck and I eat my porridge instead of crying into it....and while I’m eating it I get to watch Galen dance. 😀
I think this is a truly beautiful demonstration of immense skill. I've purposefully not read the comments so I can write my honest guess for the last duo of dances: The Manipulator - very polished and perception is important. Almost understated in some ways with some complacency, to portray not being bothered to those observing when in actuality, it is all very precisely controlled (like those with control issues in a relationship). This is also someone who is very good a pulling you in because you are mesmerised by their charm (aestethic etc). Definitely going to trying this choreo!
The final prompt kind of gave me the vibe of breaking free from something uncertain to reclaim your hopes and dreams but at the same time it made me think of how it feels when you break free from negative emotions or a negative picture of yourself which makes you feel more comfortable in your own skin. I have too many things running through my head and to many emotions with that prompt.
I miss dancing. I swear dance class is a good reason I made it through my childhood. I was so emotional (still am) and that was the ONLY place I could let it go and not be judged. So watching this and seeing all the emotions is really moving and lovely !!!! I especially love how all you have to do is change your emotion and it can completely change the choreography… Without changing the choreography! So many people in so many ways to tell the story that’s what’s so wonderful about dancing
Absolutely love this. You've truly inspired me to start dancing again❤🌟. My guess of the last dance interpretation is "contentment in knowing the truth"
Amazing!! Very honest and open. I think the last dance was someone finding themselves.. or learning to rely on urself and trust urself and save urself.
I think the version we're guessing was very peaceful, like after a hard time has just passed. Things aren't all the way healed inside, but healing has started.
The last video my guess is that the 2nd performance is the person crafting the lie. You are such a powerful visual storyteller. I know you know this but it really is so remarkable and I had to make note. Thank you Galen for sharing your talent with us.
Yesss!! I dont know why I just discovered you! Thank you so much for creating this! Im a different type of dance teacher to kids and were currently going over how to be expressive and you hit that!!! lovelove love
ICONIC!!!! I teared up at so many points during this routine. So much to learn from every movement. In my view, this routine is yet another Masterclass in itself.
My guess for that last side by side is that you were dancing as if you wanted to sleep , just to dream again. The motions looked so sleepy & low energy , but the relief of closing your eyes in the simple motions looked dreamy .
Thank you for this video🙏 best example to see how important Facial expression in dancing is, while the Body movement is nearly the same!!! I breaks my heart everytime i See Videos on youtube with Dancers wearing mask.
GALEN! I’m obsessed with your videos! I love these so much because I have so many injuries and surgeries, i had to stop (found a new dream that I’m living out my passion as a therapist). But you making it about story telling and still about to vibe to the beat in whatever mood you want to convey is phenomenally freeing. Makes dance fresh and new again. So thank you!
Who else has been has been binging everything Galen hooks for the last couple months and it's so excited to see this
Litterally me!
ME ME ME ME ME😗✌
Absolutely!!
Hell yeah
ME omf
“you finally get to express yourself” was so wholesome 🥺🥺
It’s soooo ridiculous, how you choreograph these things with the most simplest and gentle movements to where it plays such a big roll in the meaning of the song, it’s sooo beautiful and powerful that your mind can see every way a movement is significant ❤️ you’re brilliant
Thanks for all the love! See you in class on Saturday, and sending you all a big virtual hug! Don't forget to comment below what you think the final prompt was!
LOVED IT!!! There's so much to learn from you, Galen ma'am! Truly. This was so so so cool. Keep doing what you do ❤️
My guess- Finally realising your self worth and potential with a strong sense of belief in oneself. Almost like, quiet confidence in self.
Final dance-wondering and finding hope🖤 (Galen, your dancing and emotions, are incredible, you are so inspiring💃🕴) thank you for everything, your hard work and love for dance is amazing!!
i think the last prompt was: You're relieved because you just found out that you tested negative for Covid but still haven't fully regained your health yet
Thank you for your vibe and such emotional dancing. It's so cool! My suggestion - the final prompt is about the one falling in love but still don't want the other know this.
Apathy was a vibe man, I totally feel that dealing with my depression and anxiety. You portrayed it beautifully.
"Living in a lie" vs "Being comfortable and content with your true self"
That's the vibe I got from the last video. Amazing choreography, I can't wait to try it out❤️.
That's what I was thinking💖
Me too!!
Galen is an ARTIST. It's not just about the lyrics, the beat, or the choreography. It's about the FEELINGS...the heart. Love you, Galen. You are a beautiful human.
Living in a lie vs. being the one who created the lie
Agree!
Yesssss I agree
Yes hunny, yes.
I thought that too :)
Ohhhh that’s good!! And I see it now that I read your comment i totally see it!!! ❤️❤️❤️
"You finally get to express yourself" made me smile so much. I want that feeling.
This tutorial is a reminder that everything we see is not real until we position ourselves on a point of view and interpret it to give it a reality. One song many interpretations, different points of view... So let's apply this knowledge to real-life... life has a lyric and we interpret it as we wish. Awaken! One more time art teaches big lessons! Thank you Galen!
In the last dance, I think the second way Galen was dancing was as if she was the manipulator
feels like a cult leader
I got the exact same vibes. Specifically how she uses her eyes, and how half-hearted the run is
I think so too!
That's the word I was looking for!!!
agreed! i thought it was the person who told the lie too
2:37 I don't know why but the way she looks away and focuses her look is sooo mesmerizing! Also, in every choreo of hers I only look at her facial expressions because that's how minimalistic and incredible she can be.
Can we just take a moment and appreciate how pretty she is. love her and her work
so my guess is love. not necessarily in love with someone but finally loving yourself. you were sad in the beginning but as the dance progressed you became happy & in love with yourself.
Guess for last one: Realizing your worth and focusing on yourself.
I feel same too
Yeeees 100%
Yes
My thoughts were finding your truth. Which is similar to me. 💖🌟
I believe that the one that we have to guess is 'Being satisfied in your truth, just being yourself'
There are NO WORDS to describe the talent of this woman
Genius. Catharsis. Passion. Compassion. Truth.
This choreography really surprised me omg! This is my first time knowing dancing can be this meticulous！
At first I feel like the last one is bout living in a lie vs the liar. But when I tried to follow and act it out, really feeling every move and gaze, I feel like it's about being lie vs seeing through lies. (But maybe only manipulator can see through lies)
Living a lie vs. getting over a truth and the first moments of being absolutely fine with it
Galen Hooks, you are a genius, God's gift to this Earth.
These are not tears, this is my alchemy wanted join an element so pure.
Galen your gift is all giving and inspiring
Wow.. i was so touch with "when you finally get to express yourself" and the last one is you knowing the truth and you dont let them get away with it.
*Ok come on we all already know that this is gonna be an awesome choreography*
Fr
Not only am I a dancer!! I’m a mental health clinician. I studied to be a choreographer in 99, and now I’m here sending this to clients!! Boom goes the dynamite!!! @galenhooks, you rock!

I agree with a lot of the other comments that the last one we guess is dance as if you are the liar. Some of the facial expressions and the way some of the movements seemed to command action from someone else gave me that feeling.
I think the last one was “dance like you know it’s a lie but choose to believe it anyway”
I felt the same...
That’s such an interesting take, I hadn’t thought of that!
Yesss I didn't know exactly how to phrase what I was feeling, this is exactly it
Life is a dream... feels lovely, numb and surreal.
I’m 31. I have no dance skills, but these videos just make me feel encouraged to connect to my emotions and self.
The second dance was you showing the lie what it had made to you but you express it with grace because it has been a life lecture and, after all, a beautiful dance.
Brilliant acting!! Dancing and acting are two sides of the same coin.
5:27 left side is when I finally think my crush likes me back. The right side is me a minute later knowing that I'm fooling myself into thinking something that's not true
Living in lie ♥️♥️♥️♥️ I could have never thought of it. That suspicious look in your eyes made it so believable ♥️
Amazing how you can show all this different emotions!! In the second one „you deny the lie”
She’s so special. Artist. Genius. A treasure. 👑🙌🏾
Living in a lie and the other one I would say someone living in her power. Someone that’s been there done that and knows what she deserves and knows she’ll never fall for that again. Ugh why am I crying
Awesome as always!! I think the last prompt was accepting things as is. Being indifferent.
i normally don't watch a routine more than twice, but galen makes me watch a hundred times like it was the first
Galen is a beast with expressive dance!
Chickadee, I’m not very keen on subscribing to things, but you are beyond brilliant. Nevermind that you’re generous with your talent and kind. Thanks for existing.
Galen your the best. I cry , laugh, and smile in my heart all by watching your art.
Last dance: "Dance like you are the creator of the lie."
Wow, that's the best guess in my opinion.
might be from South Africa but gosh i love this lady's choreography
you and me both girl ♥️
Dance is also about acting they both intertwine and this is perfect!
How can one person be so talented ?!!
I cried I fucking cried by the Galen finished her dance idk y the way she expresses herself with the music omg u just became my favorite dancer
Last dance is being at peace with herself and situation. Gosh I love her so so much!!!!
Her portrayal of emotions is so unreal!
I got chills
Confidence and assurance. Being aware of things and awake to the truth.
The last one makes me think you’re almost relishing in what’s happening like “good, fuck you” There was this little side smile and shoulder shrug like “I don’t care”.

Sending virtual hugs and strength. I'm so glad you've found and embraced something wonderful to focus on. Stay safe. 😀❤

I cried in all of these.
Yesss!! I dont know why I just discovered you! Thank you so much for creating this! Im a different type of dance teacher to kids and were currently going over how to be expressive and you hit that!!! lovelove love
ICONIC!!!! I teared up at so many points during this routine. So much to learn from every movement. In my view, this routine is yet another Masterclass in itself.
These make me emotional.
Living in a lie vs. Resilient and brushing of the lies others have told you by finding your own inner strength
Expressions are priceless
Amazing! Galen is out of this world!!!!
It looks like you’ve realized the lie, but decide to live the life anyway, grasping at moments of comfort wherever they come.
I love this. There’s a vibe that says, “I don’t give a damn anymore. I’m tired. Just tell me a pretty lie, I’d rather live in the comfort of a dream.”
While the last version initially spoke if a bit of nostalgia, a little regret..by the end I felt moved by a self acceptance and confidence.
you are amazing..I love you Galen😭😍
galen hooks always blows us away with these insane choreographies ;-; it’s crazy how these choreographies are just perfectly executed and flawless !!!
You inspired me to go back to dancing!!
My guess for that last side by side is that you were dancing as if you wanted to sleep , just to dream again. The motions looked so sleepy & low energy , but the relief of closing your eyes in the simple motions looked dreamy .
Galen is such a beast
Your musicality never ceases to amaze me. Every little detail is accounted for. LOVE IT GURRL WERK IT.
For the guess one... I’m thinking some sort of pride. You’re proud of where you are, what you’ve done.
"just living the moment and not giving up in life".. you have an amazing soul galen..
So Amazing!! Last one is Being In Your only True Self
Thank you for this video🙏 best example to see how important Facial expression in dancing is, while the Body movement is nearly the same!!!
I breaks my heart everytime i See Videos on youtube with Dancers wearing mask.
Pure genius
I love this woman! She's a truly a artist!.
What a BRILLIANT artist! I was watching in awe with my hands over my mouth the entire time. BRAVO!
Omgggggg !!! These emotions
You simply are a magic ✨, piece of art. Wish we could tap into characters and emotions like this 😍😍😍!!! I've already watched it thrice ❤️
Qué bárbara Galen. Hay gente que tiene talento; Galen es EL TALENTO. ¿Cómo no amar a esta mujer?
That's what I love about dance and music .. you feel it from within 🌼
HOLY SHIT THIS IS POSSIBLY THE BEST DANCE VIDEO I'VE SEEN IN YEARS.
galen you're incredible!!!
I've not wanted to dance for months, this has me revved to get dancing again!!
This girl is PURE magic! Last dance: Been through a heartbreak and finally finding herself again. Regaining strength and inner fight.
Most beautiful dance I've seen🙆🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️ Felt every movement. You are amazing at your gift. Pure talent 👌👌👌
Galen, you really are something else. Amazing 🤍
i really love how you expresed your emotions when you dance. i would like can do too but, is so dificult for me
"Living in a lie" vs "Living your truth/freedom/serenity" She seemed very relieved so yeah that's my shot in the dark
i first clicked on this video when it was posted 20 minutes ago...ive been watching this for 40 minutes, im so amazed by Galen🥺😲🤩🤩
GALEN! I’m obsessed with your videos! I love these so much because I have so many injuries and surgeries, i had to stop (found a new dream that I’m living out my passion as a therapist). But you making it about story telling and still about to vibe to the beat in whatever mood you want to convey is phenomenally freeing. Makes dance fresh and new again. So thank you!
What a genius.
Thank you so much for the generosity of sharing your gift
Always my favourite. You are so inspiring
BRILLIANT ! Just BRILLIANT !
Omg Galen all your videos touch my soul and I get so emotional when I watch them it's so pure and real truly incredible❤️
Amazing!! I'm going through all your choreo and meditations ❤❤❤
