I do not have any dance knowledge but you make it look so easy. You’re very graceful. Most definitely one of my favorite all time YOuTube videos. Thank you
This was so needed for me... To not have any dance training or education... But being gifted with the ability to dance and choreograph dance pieces on any level... It is really difficult and a little uncomfortable to be able to perform, visualize, or complete a dance movement but not know what it is called or how to explain it to someone you are teaching... This video is gonna make things much easier... Thanks

i know this video is a couple years old but commenting anyway because oh my goodness thanks for this video, i teach modern dance but its been a long time since I've been able to take consistent classes in my smallish town and this video is helping me remember so many important skills to make sure and incorporate, thanks!
Thank you Seneka Abeyratne. Modern dance is so unique, and there could easily be a video compilation for each technical style. What is your favorite branch of modern dance?
@@snabeyratne gotcha, gotcha. Do you have a favorite performer of company that is worth checking out? One of favorite contemporary dance companies has been Complexions Contemporary Ballet. Very good work and great music selections for the dancing. 🎶
Awesome thanks - looks really cool. I wanted to take a dance class and my school only has modern dance - didn't know what it was and this cleared it up haha - looks very cool
Thank you so much! I had to lern a dance all by myself and this helped A LOT! You dance amazingly! Thank you for this amazing and insperational video it realy helped me!
Why is this modern moves is so much easier than techniques of modern as Martha graham and horton and doesn't have the sharp alignment .is this because the modern dance nowadays is much depending on natural posture or this is a different style influenced by modern dance techniques.please answer me
Love the resource idea, your effort and quality. However, be careful you are presenting correct terminology. That was a compass turn, not a pencil turn. And those are not Graham Hops, those are Sparkles.
work talking about those dance moves are called “Sparkles”. Like that’s fine if you want to call them that but don’t frame it from a point of technicality. Leave the microagressions in the drafts 🫶🏾
There’s different terminology around the world! I learned “pencil turns” and something completely different from “Graham Hops AND Sparkles” every name is both correct and incorrect.

Sparkles is a studio term and not used in the professional modern world.
I learned it as pencil turns. Many studios have different names❤️
