What did you think about the new format? Should I keep on doing it or go back to the old one? This is way more work, but I thought it's cuter. What do you think?
I think the new format is really great, but could you change the background to another colour? It's just my opinion but I think the color is too bright
Might be something psychological too, like it feels weird or you feel insecure when being filmed rather than just dancing for yourself in a mirror. If that’s the case then I think that’s perfectly natural and you’ll hopefully get used to it eventually! I notice for myself that I think too much when I dance for a camera, because it feels almost like a test and I have to do better, so I end up looking very bad in general when dancing, sometimes even overthink to the point that I forget moves. But it’s just another stepping stone, whatever the reason is for you, good luck and don’t beat yourself up if your dancing isn’t as good as you hope, if you keep practicing you might just end up improving without even noticing it!
my experience as a pianist and violinist is that while performing on stage, we only showcase our skills to at most 95%, and most people will only showcase 70%. I'm comfortable enough with my skills on the piano, but dancing? nononono if a single shadow moves while I'm dancing I swear I literally teleport to the nearest shadow-free location instantly from performance anxiety. :( that being said all of these tips apply to basically anything performance-related and they're all good advices.
Ellen and Brian are literally the best kpop dancers and "tutorial peoples"- they always remind people that there are certain details that change, dancing styles are all different, and you don't have to follow one member as well. They rarely miss details too (still watch the og dance practice tho). And did I mention how freaking talented they are? If I need to learn a dance I go straight to them.
@@andrikfelix6507 For me (this is my opinion), I never really saw her as someone I could follow...I just never saw her dancing as well as other people. However, I've seen massive dance improvement over a few years and there are covers I've seen that's she's really good at. I don't think her style matches all dances. But, I credit her for learning dances so quickly. However, she tends to miss few more details than others (especially when I go to the og dance practice I noticed it). But she is a lot more skilled than most.
@@nmck3985 lisarhee style in dancing doesn't kinda fit in kpop choreography unlike how ellen and brian does their cover, lisa has more on hiphop genre movements
I recommend Leia too to learn kpop dances. Thanks to her tutorials, I learned Kill this love by BLACKPINK and bon bon chocolat by everglow in just 3 days.
I like her tutorials too! Imo a lot of tutorial channels tend to go WAY too fast and barely explain anything, making things confusing. But Leia really breaks down everything, I’ve also learned several dances with her help and I tend to look up her tutorials if I’m ever confused with a move just watching the dance practice. Definitely my go-to!
It really depends on your experience and how fast you pick up. I love her covers but I can never for the life of me use her tutorials because she repeats so much and I’ve danced for a long time so I pick up really fast. I have learned full dances like Play by chungha in 13 mins (I remember because I was so proud lol) but she does have really great detailed tutorials.
1. Stretch 2. Find a tutorial + add your own flavor 3. Use a mirror 4. Make sure you're executing the move correctly 5. Be energetic 6. Face (control it) 7. Learn how to count (like 1.2.3.4...) 8. Practice ♡ That's it if you don't have time to watch the video atm but really wanted to know the tips, I suggest you actually sit when you have time and watch the whole thing, they have included useful examples so I think it'll be a lot of help, thank you 💚
Something I recommend: stand in front of a mirror while playing the song you want to learn the choreography to and just focus on your facials (don’t do anything else just stand there looking into the mirror doing facials) keep doing this and you’ll eventually get better (well I mean it worked for me so yeah)!
*ANOTHER NOTE* : working out really helps a lot in dancing......from my experience when i start working out my movement became more stable and powerful and i'm sorry for my horrible english (:
Bruh Vivi's dance was honestly at par with Heejin bc like you said she didn't have a set technique like Heejin and such but her energy was so good she didn't look bad at all! if you weren't born a good dancer all you need is dedication, practice, and energy to be a good dancer. If you work hard you can still look really good. Stan queen Vivi!
i get the sentiment but i just wanna say that literally no one was born a good dancer. not heejin. not someone much better than heejin like dino or jhope and not someone who is literally a world famous dance legend like anna pavlova or michael jackson. all of these people put a lot of practice into their dancing. i'm saying this to put their effort into perspective. since all we as the audience are seeing is the final result of all their effort, we don't realize exactly how much effort went into getting to that level of dancing. vivi doesn't look despite her lack of technique - she looks good because even though she is lacking technique, she still has a sense of coordination and enough energy to execute the dance from her years of practice. you and i will never be able to dance like any of these dancers, but with a lot of practice, we will be able to dance really well and reach our full potential as dancers.
Annother tip: practice with your shadow, the shadow shows exactly what you’re doing :) And watch out your energy!!!! :) Sorry for my english lmao is not my native language hahahahah
Aisha from Everglow trained 9 years in JYP but left and started training at Yuehua ( I don't know if I wrote the name correct) and continued training for 2 years and she debuted in Everglow!!
Also others I recommend are Koreos, Jing Huang, Ellen and Brian, and Sheryl Chang. I personally would go for Sheryl, she explains them really well and quickly.
The main reason why Seungyeon is so bland there is that devil their third comeback and girls didn't have enough time to have a rest. they literally just go back from Russia, where they have had a 30 minutes concert and then new comeback with promo. even in mv girls look exhausted, so this is it :с
@@forggstans that's ok..😐 u have chungha as thumbnail in 4 of your videos ....that's totally normal and your videos are dance based so........i dont think it's weird to use her as your thumbnail 😅
Another tip id recommend for certain songs is to watch videos by On the scene, they make videos called "who danced __________ the best" where they analyse which member from a particular group danced a certain move the best, which can help you understand what you could do specifically to dance a certain move better, however this can only be used for songs theyve made videos on
I highly recommend Leia's channel to learn some choreographies!!! her teaching is very good and easy to understand. And I loved the video, I was so excited to see something like this here, I would love to see more detailed and useful analysis and tips like this one :)
I really want to practice dancing but my room is too small and not to tall so I can't do big moves and stuff, it's really annoying especially that the only big room I can dance is my brother's room or living room, which I'm kind of embarrassed to dance in because there's always someone and I'm bad at dancing, stiff and so on, the fact that I'm 5'7/178cm is not helping tho 🤡
I can relate.. Being tall makes me more difficult to dance because sometimes my moves look awkward.. But because of hyunjin from skz, i find it as long as you go all the way large to your move it'll look great (if that makes sense haha)
If there are no tutorials try looking for a dance performance or a fancam and slowing the video down to 0.5 or lower, it really helps understand the moves and break them down!
Andy B. I think covers can be great too if those exists, of course they don’t execute the moves exactly most of the time (although the differences tend to be pretty obvious imo) but I think it’s a good way of getting a clear shot of the dance without having to use a fancam
damn, good luck. I can do fancy, as if it's your last, don't know what to do and zimzalabim but i have terrible body shape so i dont look perfect. lets hope tho
Same, shadow play is the first dance I'm learning without a tutorial and it's really hard >-< I've only learned the chorus so far, but what I did was slow the mirrored version video down to .4 speed and only work on hands/arms, then gradually increase speed until I could do it at the normal speed and then repeat the process but adding in footwork
And the most important thing is, DO NOT THINK LESS OF YOURSELF WHILE DANCING! I've done this way too often. While following a choreography, I do the moves and then record myself and i get so bummed I cant dance like the dancers in the group. Think about it, idols have not only had practice, but unforgiving training over a course of years that made them this great. So don't feel bad for not dancing exactly like your idols and just have fun!
I literally love alivia's stretching routines, also if u find stretching boring put some music or split screen ur device and watch a video while doing it
im so glad you recognised saturday! satudays mmook jji bba is one of my favourite choreos ever! and bbyong should have gone viral for that cute fainting spin in the chorus. you should do a video on them!
it’s rare to see someone mention Saturday. I love hearing their performance because you hear their real voice and their backtrack isn’t overpowering like most groups. stan saturday
Regarding watching the tutorial, I also advice that you should also watch the exact dance practice video. I have observed some dance tutorials lacked the exact details. It could be them adding their own style but I take dance tutorials that lacks some of the details with a grain of salt. This is such a great video! I did hoped that you introduced idol dancing more tho
Thank you for making this! Right on time, as I finally gathered up courage to apply in dance studio and my first class is in 3 days. I never thought much about counting; i think that was the most important thing that I gathered from this, rest was pretty well known. The thing that worries me is my flexibility - im very stiff, i THINK my hips are okay but that's about it, i cant reach my toes with straight legs, was never able to do a bridge(?), and stretching is hellishly hard for me :( but i hope i will improve, your videos give me motivation, as i want to know everything about dancing as much as you do :)
YESS GETTT IT. I can’t unfortunately join anything but for stretching watch anna mcnulty’s videos for beginners! it’s quite hard at first but you’ll get used to it. I ROOT FOR U
@@cheesevelvet6358 yeah! I started dancing on August, and even though I'm still very stiff, it's not as bad as I thought, at least for now, with the choreographies i learned. Counting does help big time - once i learned how to count on each dance, it's much easier to do it and be on time :D
i actually don’t like watching tutorials bc most of the time they get the moves wrong, and for me its actually easier to learn it by myself but maybe that’s just bc i have a background with dance idk 😳and it makes me feel like i accomplished something since the dancing part is easy haha 😂
i would love a part 2! I will definetly use some of these tips. One of my biggest issues is when i film myself and watch it i can tell something is off but i can never tell what or how to fix it. I never knew underdancing and overdancing were really a thing before i started watching your vidoes so thank you i always love to watch you and see how you rank them
The way you starter at video saying "Hello frog stans!" lmao did you see comments saying how did they read your name as frog stans (including myself 🤡)
I hope to see more dancing tips from you in the future. I have a dance account on Instagram but I dont upload my cover that often. Recently, I start posting again and I totally agreed with the point that face can change everything. I used to dance without any facial expressions but now I am trying to improve it and can realised how better it is when the face is used while dancing. I hope that you will give more tips about how to maintain the energy while dancing, or about dynamics, sharpness, clean moves and stamina. Thank you.
I really love your video! I like dancing, especially to K-Pop dances and I always kinda felt ashamed for looking up tutorials when some of my colleagues from school "didn't need them" - I really needed to hear those positive words on the using of tutorials. So thank you very, very much!!
I love how you are accurately described what i feel about Vivi too, her energy really does overcome her least-ranked technique among the other members.
Thank you very much for that video ! I’ve been learning kpop choreographies for a while now, but I feel like I lack technique and that my dancing is a bit off. I’ll try to follow your advice from now on !
As a Kpop dancer trained in Korea by a professional Kpop dance teacher I agree with all of your points and would like to add a few You have to be precise with every move You can’t stand out ect being too powerful or not powerful enough Line and balance are extremely important Working on basics are very Important here, if there’s something off about your dancing they force you to start your basics all over again As well as being flexible you have to be quite thin to get the right look, not just being “pretty” but it effects the way you dance as you look more “elegant and sharp” when you dance and you can get “better lines and power” (these are what most teachers say here). And an important thing I would like to say is, you may be an amazing dancer but everything is different about Kpop dancing, most foreign students who used to be professional dancers come here and have to start all over again because of the style and need to blend in , it’s brutal to be honest because I know so many incredible dancers that were assessed and told they weren’t good enough and it just shows how hard it is.
Yessssss I needed this!!! The new format is super cute, the only issue I have is that the text is typing out while the video example plays, and usually I pause and read and try to pick up on the examples in the video after. Anyways, I LOVED this video, you’re literally saving my life, I would love more like this 💕
The second tip is exactly how i learn choreos! But i thought that cool dancers don't do that and hoped that one day i could learn only by watching mirrored dance practice. I feel relief now
Channel Recommendation for Tutorials! : Pink Kpop Academy The teacher really teaches dances and basic technique's well. They're really passionate about helping people learn the basic skills to improve. They have a great stretching video too and Warm Up Videos that combine the basic skills and are categorised specifically for Girl Groups style dances and Boy Group style dances. Although I recommend doing both exercises from those vids because even if you're just learning a girl group dance, the basics that are typically found in boy group style can be helpful and sometimes can be found in girl dance and vice versa!
Honestly I'm able to learn better from the dance practice/ performance directly, Tutorials are hard for me because we have to take pause in the middle of dancing, which just breaks the flow?? I watch the dance practice & / or the performance atleast five times prior starting to learn, at a low speed so that I don't miss any minor details. Then i keep them in mind and do the dance along w the group 2 times and then go step by step. Takes me a week to learn a choreo this way but the results are worth it!! I've done hylt, boy with luv, what is love, hip & hwaa!!
Okay one thing I wanted to say as a dancer again, about the "counts" point, is that not everyone can do their best best with counts. Some people like me, like to analyse the beats and relate dance moves with it, and it's not wrong. I just wanted to say that learn with the method you want to learn. That's all. ALSO, THAT TUTORIAL PART IS SOOO TRUE. I USED TO LEARN DANCES FROM THE DANCE PRACTICE BUT WHEN I USED TUTORIALS I GOT SO MUCH BETTER. I DONT REALLY USE TUTORIALS NOW, BUT I WATCH THE MOVES VERY CAREFULLY NOW.
I think the most important thing is that you have to understand what dance is like it's a translation of the beat to moves , when you feel it , when you enjoy it that's the point of being a dancer . The rest is that you fix what you need to make your choreo looks great as you said flexibility , watching tutorials to get the exact moves ....
About energy: Yes most ppl learning dances tend to under dance, and i do it too (mostly bc im afraid of looking dumb), but! if you want to look like how idols look, dancing "full out" is key. However, be aware that too much energy can make you look sloppy if you're just throwing your arms and legs everywhere. That's where practice comes into play, trying to hit the right positions/ angles with precision while keeping that energy. Another note: It's not *all* about power. For ex, the diff. between "insert almost any skz dance here" and taemin's move, which is actually harder than youd think bc the choreography focuses on control (on a whole other lvl rly). And some dances have a mix of flowy and sharp movements, so to add flavor to your dance, think about varying your energy level during certain moves!
I used to take ballet classes at my school, but still when I danced kpop looked cringe, I've been improving ever since but I want tips to be main dancer material.
I’ve been dancing the choreographies for some k pop songs and I’ve definitely gotten better: here are a few songs to learn for beginners Twice- what is love Everglow- dun dun Twice- fancy Blackpink- kill this love Bts- boy with luv Blackpink- how you like that April- lalalilala Twice- feel special Twice- more and more ITZY- not shy ITZY- wannabe ( also I didn’t put dalla dalla because uhm I find it hard but if you wanna learn it that’s fine lol) I don’t have a huge mirror but I have one big enough to look at myself doing the dancing, I recommend learning it from someone on RUclips. Some of these dances I learned by watching a mirrored fancam and changing the speed with RUclips settings. Also after I think I got it right I film myself and fix things that need to be fixed, I still need to work on many things but I’m making progress
I tend to follow the dance practice videos mirrored when learning a dance, and then, for stuff I’m uncertain with how to execute or I can’t quite see or, compared to my dancing, it looks off - I look up tutorials and dance covers that show it more clearly (assuming they use the exact same move). Maybe not the most efficient approach but it’s the one I like to go with and it works great to really get things down! For me I kind of try to “replicate things” because I’m still learning the basics, and I partly do that through practicing these moves with correct technique that are often based on basic moves. I think a lot of people do it similarly too. Nonetheless, instead of sharing my own ways that nobody really cares for - great video! I think some of your tips could really help, especially in efficiency when learning dances, thank you!
And well, I have virtually no knowledge in dancing so don’t take my word as an educated opinion, but personally I think it’s very important that you’re genuinely feeling the dancing and the song itself and I don’t think enough people emphasize that. Like I’d much rather watch someone with energy and the right feel for the song than someone with proper technique but otherwise lacks expressions or looking like they’re enjoying themselves. In the end, the most important thing is that you’re having fun! Never forget why you dance in the first place!
Small tips from me : Don't be shy ask people who really good at dancing to teach you. I've been that times and now my improvement in dance really huge. Also, my friends who lacks dancing (super stiff) always ask me to see her dancing and tell what is wrong and tips to improve. Her improvement really great and she even get 2nd place in dance competition.
You: post a video about dancing and says practice is really important Me: stop dancing and practice just to see it (If there's any mistake I'm sorry, english is my second language)
As a dancer i can confirm that it takes a while to learn how to count but once you learn how it makes a big difference in your actual dancing. Also a mirror and a camera can perceive dances very differently whether its just confidence or the way/angle your filming. I would suggest getting into a full outfit even if its just for practice it can give more motivation and more energy + it just looks better overall.
I personally think that Ellen and Brian are the best at k-pop covers.Not only do they not do it for the money but they really make some good quality covers.But leia has the best tutorials.she puts a lot more effort into making hour long tutorials unlike others she goes into much more detailes with make her videos longer.she also really gives a good explanation and explains in a lot of detail that when she teaches.
Hiii, I don't like to learn by tuturials, anyway, there are several ways to learn, you can put the choreography of idols slower and watch until you finish decorating, you can put on TV and go imitating until you decorate and learn... I hope I have helped with that^^
OMG thank you so much!! I found this video at the right time, even though I have no experience at all this is helping a lot with my dancing cuz in a few days I have to upload a video of a kpop choreography for audition, so thank you so so much
I´m also a trained dancer so I would like to add one tip related to the counts. You don't have to know the counts if you have good musicality, we often use stuff like "papapa" "boom" and other sounds to mark the beats without having to count. You can start practicing using counts and then change to the beat marking when your musicality improves. To improve your musicality, you can do many thing but I recommend listening to the song many times while marking it (not dancing full out, just to remember the dance) or mentalizing the dance, and also, even if you´re using counts, remeber to adjust the numbers so they match the music (you can count faster or slower, add "and", that is like half a count) and always link the movements to the beat!
thanks for shouting out to vivi too. she might have the worst technique in loona but as a fan with no dancing experience, my eye isnt drawn to her in any sort of negative way. she gives it her all and keeps up with people like yves, which i think is really impressive and speaks to her talent.
Thank you for this. Especially the stretching part. I haven't been doing that much and that seemed to help a lot when I danced. Thanks for the whole video though.
counting is fine and probably better but if you really like a song and you know everything from the vocal rhythm or the instrumental very, very well, you can dance to that too. most dances are based on the vocals and the music (obviously) so the more you enjoy the song, the better you’ll dance to it (or even freestyle if you can 👀)
Also: Ask others for their opinion (whether they are dancers or not). Just ask if it looked okay and it wasn't boring. Learn to take criticisms too. Don't be such a cry-baby for someone telling you that your techniques were bad. And when you are learning from others, be respectful and don't roll your eyes and say stuff behind the instructors back (from personal experience). Over-all the video explained everything. Also don't be scared and ashamed to start from the beginning. Dancing takes a long time and we all make mistakes. When you do, just smile it out so it won't look like you did a mistake. Feel free to ask questions :)
I'm so happy to see this video! There's this huge gap between my beginner dancing and idols, and it's really nice to have that broken down! Although, I think it would be really helpful to have the girls names below/around them in the clips, because I can't recognize them yet so I don't know what I'm supposed be looking for in the comparisons... I guess that's on me tho lol and I understand it's also a lot of extra editing work
i’ve been listening to saturday since Wifi and THEY ARE SO GOOD!! i didn’t know that they were going to disband so please everyone stream their new song because they have so much potential!
Me who learns Kpop dances just by watching people do it in public and by watching the dance practices on repeat for a few times cuz I'm a fast learner: 😐🙂👌🏾👍🏾 Also me: - needs to work a bit more on my facial expressions (I'm already good but I wanna be an expert like Tsukki from BILLLIE) yes I look at her as a queen of facial expressions. She was so cute!! -needs to work on my flexibility (sheesh man) - work on my vocals while dancing P.S.: my momma once said I was ~ S T I F F ~ when I dance. I feel I've been doing better bc I've been practicing for years now. Currently wanting to learn these kpop songs: *NMIXX - O.O *NMIXX - Tank *Le Sserafim - Fearless So yeah- goodluck to everyone out there. ^-^ ✅👏🏾😌
summary: 1) Stretch 2) look up for a tutorial of the dance you want to learn + add your own flavour 3) use a mirror 4) make sure you're executing the move correctly 5) be energetic 6) face, face, face! 7) learn how to count...like 1, 2, 3, 4... 8) practice
What did you think about the new format? Should I keep on doing it or go back to the old one?
This is way more work, but I thought it's cuter. What do you think?
whatever you feel most comfortable with :)
this one is really cute, keep it👭

tram bui agree!! the idea and the video itself is so cool!! thank u for that!!
Whenever I dance in front of a mirror I think I did okay but when I’m on camera it looked bad 👁👄👁
maybe check the camera angle. Also, the space you're dancing may project your moves in a bad way to the camera.
same
same problem here dude even my sister says that when I practice i look great when i'm on camera i appear so stiff when i'm using so much energy
Might be something psychological too, like it feels weird or you feel insecure when being filmed rather than just dancing for yourself in a mirror. If that’s the case then I think that’s perfectly natural and you’ll hopefully get used to it eventually! I notice for myself that I think too much when I dance for a camera, because it feels almost like a test and I have to do better, so I end up looking very bad in general when dancing, sometimes even overthink to the point that I forget moves. But it’s just another stepping stone, whatever the reason is for you, good luck and don’t beat yourself up if your dancing isn’t as good as you hope, if you keep practicing you might just end up improving without even noticing it!

2. Find a tutorial + add your own flavor
3. Use a mirror
4. Make sure you're executing the move correctly
5. Be energetic
6. Face (control it)
7. Learn how to count (like 1.2.3.4...)

Thank you so much!!!!!!
Something I recommend: stand in front of a mirror while playing the song you want to learn the choreography to and just focus on your facials (don’t do anything else just stand there looking into the mirror doing facials) keep doing this and you’ll eventually get better (well I mean it worked for me so yeah)!
bruh i tried looking and i look like a spider from my legs i-
and what if u dont have a mirror ;-;
@@sushilaleon then use your camera? One doesn’t need a big mirror to do this as long as one has a mirror that reflect their entire face
YES THIS IS SUCH GOOD ADVICE !! getting your facials down and matching the vibe of the song makes you so much more confident while dancing too :3
😂😂😂😂 I don't know why am I LMAO
*ANOTHER NOTE* : working out really helps a lot in dancing......from my experience when i start working out my movement became more stable and powerful

i get the sentiment but i just wanna say that literally no one was born a good dancer. not heejin. not someone much better than heejin like dino or jhope and not someone who is literally a world famous dance legend like anna pavlova or michael jackson. all of these people put a lot of practice into their dancing. i'm saying this to put their effort into perspective. since all we as the audience are seeing is the final result of all their effort, we don't realize exactly how much effort went into getting to that level of dancing. vivi doesn't look despite her lack of technique - she looks good because even though she is lacking technique, she still has a sense of coordination and enough energy to execute the dance from her years of practice. you and i will never be able to dance like any of these dancers, but with a lot of practice, we will be able to dance really well and reach our full potential as dancers.
Annother tip: practice with your shadow, the shadow shows exactly what you’re doing :) And watch out your energy!!!! :)

How do I practice with my shadow? I would like to try it... Sorry for my bad english too haha

Aisha from Everglow trained 9 years in JYP but left and started training at Yuehua ( I don't know if I wrote the name correct) and continued training for 2 years and she debuted in Everglow!!

it's yuehua not yueha haha
Yet people are still sleeping on them

If you're beginer, you should watch "Savage Angels" dance tutorial, it really really helpful
Yessss
Also others I recommend are Koreos, Jing Huang, Ellen and Brian, and Sheryl Chang. I personally would go for Sheryl, she explains them really well and quickly.

The main reason why Seungyeon is so bland there is that devil their third comeback and girls didn't have enough time to have a rest. they literally just go back from Russia, where they have had a 30 minutes concert and then new comeback with promo. even in mv girls look exhausted, so this is it :с
Don’t give them excuses, that’s for them to do. Not you.

@@nm9592 They aren't giving excuses. ForGGstans asked if anyone knew what happened there in the video at the Clc segment.

Also, look at her top. She had to fix it many times, she was probably also about concerned about showing her chest

Oh wow😂Why do you do that tho? To compare yourself? :)
@@hanmira yeah
oh the scene that yt channel 💀💀
@@soraya131 what is wrong with that channel?
Another tip id recommend for certain songs is to watch videos by On the scene, they make videos called "who danced __________ the best" where they analyse which member from a particular group danced a certain move the best, which can help you understand what you could do specifically to dance a certain move better, however this can only be used for songs theyve made videos on
Can you please tell me what kind of dances K-pop idols usually do?
I got my noodles I am READY
OMG YOU HEARTED NY COMMENT IM SHOOK
Finally, a helpful video for dancing to kpop songs
I highly recommend Leia's channel to learn some choreographies!!! her teaching is very good and easy to understand.
And I loved the video, I was so excited to see something like this here, I would love to see more detailed and useful analysis and tips like this one :)
Yeah but she only do a tutorials of famous groups😭
I really want to practice dancing but my room is too small and not to tall so I can't do big moves and stuff, it's really annoying especially that the only big room I can dance is my brother's room or living room, which I'm kind of embarrassed to dance in because there's always someone and I'm bad at dancing, stiff and so on, the fact that I'm 5'7/178cm is not helping tho 🤡
Ya, same, i'm not flexible(I used to be) and my room is SUPERRRR small.
Dw, I'm tall af too (5'5).
But, ya'know, if you practice you'll get it!
I can relate.. Being tall makes me more difficult to dance because sometimes my moves look awkward.. But because of hyunjin from skz, i find it as long as you go all the way large to your move it'll look great (if that makes sense haha)
woah I never noticed seungyeon lack of facials in this fancam she usually has really nice facials
it's the concept
@@romanHederer for me it was because the top wasn't right, she fixed it so many times, she was probably concerned about showing her chest

@@romanHederer it's not the concept
i'm learning the dance to shadow play rn and there's literally no tutorials on it-
fax... our girls pink fantasy are so underrated
If there are no tutorials try looking for a dance performance or a fancam and slowing the video down to 0.5 or lower, it really helps understand the moves and break them down!
Andy B. I think covers can be great too if those exists, of course they don’t execute the moves exactly most of the time (although the differences tend to be pretty obvious imo) but I think it’s a good way of getting a clear shot of the dance without having to use a fancam
damn, good luck. I can do fancy, as if it's your last, don't know what to do and zimzalabim but i have terrible body shape so i dont look perfect. lets hope tho
Same, shadow play is the first dance I'm learning without a tutorial and it's really hard >-< I've only learned the chorus so far, but what I did was slow the mirrored version video down to .4 speed and only work on hands/arms, then gradually increase speed until I could do it at the normal speed and then repeat the process but adding in footwork
And the most important thing is, DO NOT THINK LESS OF YOURSELF WHILE DANCING! I've done this way too often. While following a choreography, I do the moves and then record myself and i get so bummed I cant dance like the dancers in the group. Think about it, idols have not only had practice, but unforgiving training over a course of years that made them this great. So don't feel bad for not dancing exactly like your idols and just have fun!
I literally love alivia's stretching routines, also if u find stretching boring put some music or split screen ur device and watch a video while doing it
Omg. can you do a ranking for weeekly? i know they just debuted but theyre so good imo
I am also curious too.
im so glad you recognised saturday! satudays mmook jji bba is one of my favourite choreos ever! and bbyong should have gone viral for that cute fainting spin in the chorus. you should do a video on them!
it’s rare to see someone mention Saturday. I love hearing their performance because you hear their real voice and their backtrack isn’t overpowering like most groups. stan saturday
I’m also a Saturday fan. It’s so sad to now that they aren’t successful enough to not disband.
i was going to say now that my knee is doing after trying to learn the end of hylt omg
Me too
Regarding watching the tutorial, I also advice that you should also watch the exact dance practice video. I have observed some dance tutorials lacked the exact details. It could be them adding their own style but I take dance tutorials that lacks some of the details with a grain of salt. This is such a great video! I did hoped that you introduced idol dancing more tho
thank you for shouting out SATURDAY!
Thank you for making this! Right on time, as I finally gathered up courage to apply in dance studio and my first class is in 3 days. I never thought much about counting; i think that was the most important thing that I gathered from this, rest was pretty well known.
The thing that worries me is my flexibility - im very stiff, i THINK my hips are okay but that's about it, i cant reach my toes with straight legs, was never able to do a bridge(?), and stretching is hellishly hard for me :( but i hope i will improve, your videos give me motivation, as i want to know everything about dancing as much as you do :)
YESS GETTT IT. I can’t unfortunately join anything but for stretching watch anna mcnulty’s videos for beginners! it’s quite hard at first but you’ll get used to it. I ROOT FOR U
@@user-cv2vo5wn9m okay, thank you! I'll check them out :)
Any progress?
@@cheesevelvet6358 yeah! I started dancing on August, and even though I'm still very stiff, it's not as bad as I thought, at least for now, with the choreographies i learned. Counting does help big time - once i learned how to count on each dance, it's much easier to do it and be on time :D
i actually don’t like watching tutorials bc most of the time they get the moves wrong, and for me its actually easier to learn it by myself but maybe that’s just bc i have a background with dance idk 😳and it makes me feel like i accomplished something since the dancing part is easy haha 😂
i would love a part 2! I will definetly use some of these tips. One of my biggest issues is when i film myself and watch it i can tell something is off but i can never tell what or how to fix it. I never knew underdancing and overdancing were really a thing before i started watching your vidoes so thank you i always love to watch you and see how you rank them
The way you starter at video saying "Hello frog stans!" lmao did you see comments saying how did they read your name as frog stans (including myself 🤡)
I hope to see more dancing tips from you in the future. I have a dance account on Instagram but I dont upload my cover that often. Recently, I start posting again and I totally agreed with the point that face can change everything. I used to dance without any facial expressions but now I am trying to improve it and can realised how better it is when the face is used while dancing. I hope that you will give more tips about how to maintain the energy while dancing, or about dynamics, sharpness, clean moves and stamina. Thank you.
I haven't even finished watching yet but, *MORE* pls
I love this!
I really love your video! I like dancing, especially to K-Pop dances and I always kinda felt ashamed for looking up tutorials when some of my colleagues from school "didn't need them" - I really needed to hear those positive words on the using of tutorials. So thank you very, very much!!
I love how you are accurately described what i feel about Vivi too, her energy really does overcome her least-ranked technique among the other members.
Thank you very much for that video !
I’ve been learning kpop choreographies for a while now, but I feel like I lack technique and that my dancing is a bit off.
I’ll try to follow your advice from now on !
As a Kpop dancer trained in Korea by a professional Kpop dance teacher I agree with all of your points and would like to add a few
You have to be precise with every move
You can’t stand out ect being too powerful or not powerful enough
Line and balance are extremely important
Working on basics are very Important here, if there’s something off about your dancing they force you to start your basics all over again
As well as being flexible you have to be quite thin to get the right look, not just being “pretty” but it effects the way you dance as you look more “elegant and sharp” when you dance and you can get “better lines and power” (these are what most teachers say here).
And an important thing I would like to say is, you may be an amazing dancer but everything is different about Kpop dancing, most foreign students who used to be professional dancers come here and have to start all over again because of the style and need to blend in , it’s brutal to be honest because I know so many incredible dancers that were assessed and told they weren’t good enough and it just shows how hard it is.
👍🏻😊💜 , are you trained as a k-pop trainee ? Which entertainment
@@elena6580 yes i am, sadly i can’t say which company
@@clairefranks8036 it's ok 😊
watching this after dancing for 6 hours and propably crying for on e more hour because i am baaaad but i just cant give up
Could you do a video ranking kpop dance coverers?
It would be interesting
Also LEIA 리아 Is my favorite dance teacher to learn from because she points out the major details of the dance and explains it very well
*I just remembered how stupid I look when dancing- 👀*
Yessssss I needed this!!! The new format is super cute, the only issue I have is that the text is typing out while the video example plays, and usually I pause and read and try to pick up on the examples in the video after. Anyways, I LOVED this video, you’re literally saving my life, I would love more like this 💕
The second tip is exactly how i learn choreos! But i thought that cool dancers don't do that and hoped that one day i could learn only by watching mirrored dance practice. I feel relief now
Channel Recommendation for Tutorials! : Pink Kpop Academy
The teacher really teaches dances and basic technique's well. They're really passionate about helping people learn the basic skills to improve. They have a great stretching video too and Warm Up Videos that combine the basic skills and are categorised specifically for Girl Groups style dances and Boy Group style dances. Although I recommend doing both exercises from those vids because even if you're just learning a girl group dance, the basics that are typically found in boy group style can be helpful and sometimes can be found in girl dance and vice versa!
Honestly I'm able to learn better from the dance practice/ performance directly, Tutorials are hard for me because we have to take pause in the middle of dancing, which just breaks the flow?? I watch the dance practice & / or the performance atleast five times prior starting to learn, at a low speed so that I don't miss any minor details. Then i keep them in mind and do the dance along w the group 2 times and then go step by step. Takes me a week to learn a choreo this way but the results are worth it!!
I've done hylt, boy with luv, what is love, hip & hwaa!!
Okay one thing I wanted to say as a dancer again, about the "counts" point, is that not everyone can do their best best with counts. Some people like me, like to analyse the beats and relate dance moves with it, and it's not wrong. I just wanted to say that learn with the method you want to learn. That's all. ALSO, THAT TUTORIAL PART IS SOOO TRUE. I USED TO LEARN DANCES FROM THE DANCE PRACTICE BUT WHEN I USED TUTORIALS I GOT SO MUCH BETTER. I DONT REALLY USE TUTORIALS NOW, BUT I WATCH THE MOVES VERY CAREFULLY NOW.
Could you rank clc, (G) -Idle and I.O.I one of these days?
I think the most important thing is that you have to understand what dance is like it's a translation of the beat to moves , when you feel it , when you enjoy it that's the point of being a dancer .
The rest is that you fix what you need to make your choreo looks great as you said flexibility , watching tutorials to get the exact moves ....
“You’ll need a good flexibility”
*I can't even reach my hands to my feet*
Btw English is not my first language, sorry for any error ^^
Same 😭😭 also your english is good
About energy: Yes most ppl learning dances tend to under dance, and i do it too (mostly bc im afraid of looking dumb), but! if you want to look like how idols look, dancing "full out" is key. However, be aware that too much energy can make you look sloppy if you're just throwing your arms and legs everywhere. That's where practice comes into play, trying to hit the right positions/ angles with precision while keeping that energy. Another note: It's not *all* about power. For ex, the diff. between "insert almost any skz dance here" and taemin's move, which is actually harder than youd think bc the choreography focuses on control (on a whole other lvl rly). And some dances have a mix of flowy and sharp movements, so to add flavor to your dance, think about varying your energy level during certain moves!
I used to take ballet classes at my school, but still when I danced kpop looked cringe, I've been improving ever since but I want tips to be main dancer material.
"good things don't come easy, that's why they're special." You just made such an inspiration quote, I love it.
YASS, I SO HAPPY THAT CLC RANKING IS COMING!
I’ve been dancing the choreographies for some k pop songs and I’ve definitely gotten better: here are a few songs to learn for beginners
Twice- what is love
Everglow- dun dun
Twice- fancy
Blackpink- kill this love
Bts- boy with luv
Blackpink- how you like that
April- lalalilala
Twice- feel special
Twice- more and more
ITZY- not shy
ITZY- wannabe
( also I didn’t put dalla dalla because uhm I find it hard but if you wanna learn it that’s fine lol)
I don’t have a huge mirror but I have one big enough to look at myself doing the dancing, I recommend learning it from someone on RUclips. Some of these dances I learned by watching a mirrored fancam and changing the speed with RUclips settings. Also after I think I got it right I film myself and fix things that need to be fixed, I still need to work on many things but I’m making progress
I tend to follow the dance practice videos mirrored when learning a dance, and then, for stuff I’m uncertain with how to execute or I can’t quite see or, compared to my dancing, it looks off - I look up tutorials and dance covers that show it more clearly (assuming they use the exact same move). Maybe not the most efficient approach but it’s the one I like to go with and it works great to really get things down! For me I kind of try to “replicate things” because I’m still learning the basics, and I partly do that through practicing these moves with correct technique that are often based on basic moves. I think a lot of people do it similarly too. Nonetheless, instead of sharing my own ways that nobody really cares for - great video! I think some of your tips could really help, especially in efficiency when learning dances, thank you!
And well, I have virtually no knowledge in dancing so don’t take my word as an educated opinion, but personally I think it’s very important that you’re genuinely feeling the dancing and the song itself and I don’t think enough people emphasize that. Like I’d much rather watch someone with energy and the right feel for the song than someone with proper technique but otherwise lacks expressions or looking like they’re enjoying themselves. In the end, the most important thing is that you’re having fun! Never forget why you dance in the first place!
Small tips from me :
Don't be shy ask people who really good at dancing to teach you.
I've been that times and now my improvement in dance really huge. Also, my friends who lacks dancing (super stiff) always ask me to see her dancing and tell what is wrong and tips to improve. Her improvement really great and she even get 2nd place in dance competition.
You: post a video about dancing and says practice is really important
Me: stop dancing and practice just to see it (If there's any mistake I'm sorry, english is my second language)
your english is great honey
one of my favorite youtubers putting in a fancam of a member from one of my favorite groups? (juyeon from saturday)
_iconic_
you have taste
thank you, you helped me a lot!!
most importantly, dance with feeling. put your own flavor in ur dance. have fun with it
i tried dancing into the new world once and looked like a fish on land
As a dancer i can confirm that it takes a while to learn how to count but once you learn how it makes a big difference in your actual dancing. Also a mirror and a camera can perceive dances very differently whether its just confidence or the way/angle your filming. I would suggest getting into a full outfit even if its just for practice it can give more motivation and more energy + it just looks better overall.
My dreams to become a k-pop idol 💜💜
Love from india 💜💜

I personally think that Ellen and Brian are the best at k-pop covers.Not only do they not do it for the money but they really make some good quality covers.But leia has the best tutorials.she puts a lot more effort into making hour long tutorials unlike others she goes into much more detailes with make her videos longer.she also really gives a good explanation and explains in a lot of detail that when she teaches.
I don’t have my own flavour 😩
This is the best tips for improving dance I have ever saw
Thank you so much ☺
people actually learn without tutorials? 👁👄👁
how to learn that skill?
Hiii, I don't like to learn by tuturials, anyway, there are several ways to learn, you can put the choreography of idols slower and watch until you finish decorating, you can put on TV and go imitating until you decorate and learn... I hope I have helped with that^^
i'm learning a dance that doesn't have tutorials on it-
i do that all the time actually lol. i just slow down the video if it’s too hard. tutorials are kinda slow for me.

OMG thank you so much!! I found this video at the right time, even though I have no experience at all this is helping a lot with my dancing cuz in a few days I have to upload a video of a kpop choreography for audition, so thank you so so much
I´m also a trained dancer so I would like to add one tip related to the counts. You don't have to know the counts if you have good musicality, we often use stuff like "papapa" "boom" and other sounds to mark the beats without having to count. You can start practicing using counts and then change to the beat marking when your musicality improves. To improve your musicality, you can do many thing but I recommend listening to the song many times while marking it (not dancing full out, just to remember the dance) or mentalizing the dance, and also, even if you´re using counts, remeber to adjust the numbers so they match the music (you can count faster or slower, add "and", that is like half a count) and always link the movements to the beat!
thanks for shouting out to vivi too. she might have the worst technique in loona but as a fan with no dancing experience, my eye isnt drawn to her in any sort of negative way. she gives it her all and keeps up with people like yves, which i think is really impressive and speaks to her talent.
Not related but I love how you include Saturday😭I really love them so much and I'm so sad that they're going to disband :
Thank you for this. Especially the stretching part. I haven't been doing that much and that seemed to help a lot when I danced. Thanks for the whole video though.
counting is fine and probably better but if you really like a song and you know everything from the vocal rhythm or the instrumental very, very well, you can dance to that too. most dances are based on the vocals and the music (obviously) so the more you enjoy the song, the better you’ll dance to it (or even freestyle if you can 👀)
Also:
Ask others for their opinion (whether they are dancers or not). Just ask if it looked okay and it wasn't boring. Learn to take criticisms too. Don't be such a cry-baby for someone telling you that your techniques were bad. And when you are learning from others, be respectful and don't roll your eyes and say stuff behind the instructors back (from personal experience). Over-all the video explained everything. Also don't be scared and ashamed to start from the beginning. Dancing takes a long time and we all make mistakes. When you do, just smile it out so it won't look like you did a mistake.
Feel free to ask questions :)
I'm so happy to see this video! There's this huge gap between my beginner dancing and idols, and it's really nice to have that broken down! Although, I think it would be really helpful to have the girls names below/around them in the clips, because I can't recognize them yet so I don't know what I'm supposed be looking for in the comparisons... I guess that's on me tho lol and I understand it's also a lot of extra editing work
Thank you very much. I'm sure I'll be good at dancing more after this clip ..!🔥😽
i’ve been listening to saturday since Wifi and THEY ARE SO GOOD!! i didn’t know that they were going to disband so please everyone stream their new song because they have so much potential!
Me who learns Kpop dances just by watching people do it in public and by watching the dance practices on repeat for a few times cuz I'm a fast learner: 😐🙂👌🏾👍🏾
Also me:
- needs to work a bit more on my facial expressions (I'm already good but I wanna be an expert like Tsukki from BILLLIE) yes I look at her as a queen of facial expressions. She was so cute!!
-needs to work on my flexibility (sheesh man)
- work on my vocals while dancing
P.S.: my momma once said I was ~ S T I F F ~ when I dance. I feel I've been doing better bc I've been practicing for years now. Currently wanting to learn these kpop songs:
*NMIXX - O.O
*NMIXX - Tank
*Le Sserafim - Fearless
So yeah- goodluck to everyone out there. ^-^ ✅👏🏾😌
summary:
1) Stretch
2) look up for a tutorial of the dance you want to learn + add your own flavour
3) use a mirror
4) make sure you're executing the move correctly
5) be energetic
6) face, face, face!
7) learn how to count...like 1, 2, 3, 4...
8) practice
RPM Dance Crew has pretty detailed tutorials to me they’re really helpful if I don’t understand something or for beginners it’s good too .
Love the Saturdays shout out. Their dance was Bbyong was amazing!!!
