That orange-shirted man who leaves angrily in disbelief made me laugh more than I should have.
What I love most about it is that he leaves after BDG says it can be used for every song because it thrives in counts of four, BUT he reappears during the waltz episode and is really good at it. The waltz is in 3:4 time.
speedrunning tip: if you rewatch dances moving enough times you'll start to cry as early as episode 1
goals
If you put on your headphones at just the right angle you can cry thinking about it
I'm scared
Suzanne Tan you should be
bold of you to assume I won’t cry on the first rewatch
Do you think while screening BDG for his new job Polygon just binged his whole channel
@@robynlaw7020 well he had the destitute timer since before that so, chronologically it should be set before him arriving in New york and hence before him applying to Polygon?

declan rlly got their whole stomach out...... amazing
it's the trans rights 😤✊
They can't be stopped
Leave Declan alone they're trying their best
"I'll step... touch you later...?" Godamn I felt very uncomfortable there
As awkward as “StepTouch you later” is, I think it’s wildly underappreciated how the music continues to yell “StepTouch!!” in the background
I just searched "step touch" to find this and there are a frightening amount of videos that look a lot like this one _but_ are completely intended to be serious. I laughed, a lot.
1. declan is wearing the meme sweater
2. declans real name is declan and that suprised me for somereason
I relate to Declan because I too am a non-binary miscreant that's difficult to love
wow same
Fuckin mood
sunnysea24 LOL

I think you’re valid and easy to love
"When life sucks, just dance! And since life always sucks, always dance."
~Tom Riddle
Another starkid reference!
Starkid AND BDG!?! Who allowed this?!
Voldemort!?
I like how he has the line about your job being the source of all your strife and discontent, it’s always been here but you don’t realize what’s happening til like episode 4
Brian: STEP TOUCH GOES WITH EVERYTHING!!
3/4 beat songs: Are you sure about that?
Embrace the hemiola
Those high notes. MMMMM
this could easily be an Adult Swim short series
2:20 's note gives me the good kind of goosebumps
SPOILER:
Knowing that later in the series that Brian has to move, probably due to discontent with his job, makes the song hit wayyy different.
And, the fact that in the end, the only thing that gets him through is to keep moving on? God, how is this work of art so amazing, and why does this make me so sad? :'(((
due to personal reasons i will be dances moving
You won't feel like a wreck when you can *stand like Declan*
I think he said “stay in line Declan”
It's a remarkable testament to how well this series was crafted that even though this just seemed like a random, goofy, non-sequiter the first time I watched it, I now am genuinely moved by some of the lines in this episode given their relevance in future episodes.
Every time I come back to rewatch Dances Moving, I’m reminded that every song ABSOLUTELY slaps
Sometimes I take time and rewatch this whole series because... I dunno something resonates with me and it really does make me wanna keep going. The slightly somber but mostly hopeful ending really gives me a moral booster
I think it's safe to say that this series is BDG's most underrated work. Because it's among the least viewed videos on his channel but it's some of his most clever and emotionally moving content to date.
Declan's inherently chaotic nature is something i aspire to
Declan is my favorite as I too am a troublesome nonbinary dork with a lot of enthusiasm
Love the maryland flag shorts!😍
(Shoutout to Tim)
I think they fall short of the Maryland point despite having the flag on them.
Tim!
The shorts are important later
I come back everynow and then to watch the whole series.
Hes done a lot of great things, but this series is stil my favorite.
Classic Declan
I'm watching Bdg, as he dances and acts his little heart out, as a coping mechanism as to heal the pain that is derived from me being deprived of musical theatre for 2 years now. Ever since since the virus hit, my theatres shut and my drama group split. I was suppose to be doing a musical this year and it was going to be a production I hold dear, but that was all thrown down the drain and I'm going quite insane and I feel a rising pain-
Oh shit, I did it again, the theatre-kid-out-of-theatre-for-longer-than-anticipated disease is finally hitting.
the fact that the songs get further away from brian's home the step touch, just mwa chef's kiss
Something tells me that there's going to be a dark twist at the end...
Austyn. Less dark, more depressing.
good job
You frickin jinxed it
This series makes me cry everytime
Are you fucking kidding me? I've seen this a million times and I just realized his shorts are the Maryland flag but later in the series he changes out of them. Brian you fucking genius.
I 100% started dancing some years ago because of this video, it's like I gained dancing conciousness. Everytime I dance with people I remember the step touch and I see how everyone mostly do just this.
(also I come back to this series every now and then to cry, admire and rethink life)
I just recently found your channel and man... this song really gives me a sense of optimism. I mean, I know we live in a capitalist hell hole and that you know that and that the only way out is with a revolutionary vanguard party.....
But anyway this song makes me optimistic!
god ive never been happier to see a video show up in my subscribed feed
I swear I remember one song and look up this series and just end up rewatching it. 💀 I’ve watched this series like 4 times, and they’re all bangers still.
god i love this series
Here’s the secret to life-it can’t suck if you’re groovin’
-BDG
If only he remembered what step touch could do when he was in episode six...
God I love this channel so much
I can cry just thinking about dances moving
I'm 2 years late but put that shit on VHS son!
that melody is fire
well, here i am once again. i know the emotional journey i am about to go on and i am unprepared as ever.
and again...
I’m already crying
still better song than all the diss tracks coming out 🔥
Classic Gilbert.
BDG
PUT DANCES MOVING ON SPOTIFY
AND MY LIFE
IS YOURS
YOU'RE BACK!!!!!! I'M VERY HAPPY
I love Declan! And the the refrain in the song is just too damn good. I can't get enough of it!
Well I've watched it once and I started crying as soon as I saw the Maryland shorts
oh my god this series.... I didn't expect it to be so genuinely well done
i have an incredible amount of love for declan
Rewatching this. Again.
Oh my god. BDG is now my hero.
Okay those are the best fucking shorts I've ever seen in my life.
I´m mesmerized by the Maryland shorts! I´m from MD, watching this video from Madrid... :)
I think about See the Day a LOT but holy shit I should think about the rest of the Dances Moving songs more often. Bdg says hes not a rapper but he's wrong
LIVING for the Maryland shorts
Well there goes 30 minutes I'll never get back.
I've enjoyed too many video in one sitting and now I'm going to do my work.
This video is so good, why it has only 60k views
Kinda loving this! Thanks for the smile!
Brian is actually such a talented singer
Brian is in a totally different league of genius
well it's that time again
okay in all honesty if bdg released a full album of just songs that would be very good, i think
Check out The Altogether my dude
ok i found my new favourite vid on the webs.
i SWEAR i saw a video exactly like this in my dance class years ago i swear to god
I’m Commander Shepard and the step touch is my favorite dance on the Citadel. And my only dance on the Citadel.
Everytime I think I've reached the peak I find more content and I love him more.
what a nice, goofy little video! surely it wont become a series that explores depression and loss
ayyy the maryland shorts!!!
god, those fucking high notes 😍
Every video with bdg i watch just solidifies my believe that he's a cartoon character
I just realized this came out on my birthday.
Finding a beat (guestures to Declan) or finding your wife (gestures to megan).
I feel like theres some symbolism there
There's captions but here's the video in full!
Here's that new thing that you're choosing
Get up it's dances moving!
Episode 1: Step Touch
Welcome friends, I'm BDG
And I'll teach you how to dance properly
Learning to dance shouldn't be a frustration
In homes and dance you gotta build a foundation
Finding the beat, or finding your wife
The Step Touch will get you through the dance of life
Are you ready? Here we go.
3... 2... 1... Step Touch
Step- Step Touch it out (x8)
Thanks for coming to class: day 1
Did you bring your gams, 'cuz they'll bring the fun
See, it's just like walking with a pinch of spice
In the pyramid of moves it's the grains and rice
'Cuz you can't build a dance when you're stuck in one spot
Move side to side, now you're looking real hot
Keep goin', you're flowin', you're feeling the grove
You should do the step touch everywhere that moves you!
In line at the grocery store?
Step Touch!
At Hopkins on a campus tour?
Step Touch!
You can do it while you walk your dog
Step Touch!
If you have your feet, you can find the beat
'Cuz you can do it with a juicy tabloid
Step Touch!
In a puddle that you need to avoid?
Step Touch!
Go ahead, you can smush some bugs
Step Touch!
Won't feel like a wreck when you can-
Stay in line Declan!
Hey, 'cuz there's a reason you're feeling kinda insecure in your life, bro
Maybe it's your job that's the root of all your discontented strife, no!
What if I told you you you just gotta keep keep movin'
Here's the secret to life, it won't suck when you're groovin'
And the gateway moves won't surprise you much
Drop your cares at the door, it's time to Step Touch!
Now before we end class, got a secret to share
So show me those ears, pull back your hair
This move is real fun, don't get me wrong
But we do it because it works with every single song
The Step Touch strives in counts of four
And this means you don't have to worry anymore
'Cuz I know all the songs, and I've made a list
And a tune not good for this song does not exist
On a tranquil beach vacation?
Step Touch!
In trouble for tax evasion?
Step Touch!
Alone in an empty room?
Step Touch!
If you have some feet, you can make a beat
It's great for a funny meet-cute
Step Touch!
(woman awkwardly laughs)
Brian: that was dumb
Woman: No... You're right, you can do it anywhere
Brian: I'll see you next week, you gonna be back for the...
Woman: Yeah, uhh, I'll... Step Touch you later
Brian: I'll Step Touch you later
Woman: Ok!
Brian: That's still weird
Brian: Bye
Look, you made it through
Declan, put on your shoe
Hey, 'cuz there's a reason you're feeling kinda insecure in your life, bro
Maybe it's your job that's the root of all your discontented strife, no!
What if I told you you you just gotta keep keep movin'
Here's the secret to life, it won't suck when you're groovin'
And the gateway moves won't surprise you much
Drop your cares at the door, it's time to Step Touch
Great work everybody!
Awesome job today!
Male sure you tune in next week for more:
All: Dances Moving!
God has returned
Declan is my favorite already
"Cause ya' can't build a dance when you're stuck in one spot..."
tell that to the entirety of tiktok dancers
This is the musical version of Griffin McElroy
Book One - Genesis
Watching this normal is a surreal experience, but the slower you set the playback speed, the more it feels like a weird delusion you have in the desert because you haven't had water in d ays
this actually slaps
"a tune not good for this move does not exist"
the waltz: *exists*
Step-touch to extratone music for an *advanced* workout!
Wait is beg from maryland
LOL this omg xD you are so awesome !!!!#Steptouch
i. love. the. maryland. shorts.
I'm gonna get this to 400k by myself
I'm definitely not step touching at 1 am in my kitchen while making marshmallows
How, how, how, how, how am I just finding this now?
I watch this one once a week. So motivational, BDG. Step touch ya later!
This is my go to whenever I realize Ive been dancing without moving my feet or when Im high.
damn them high notes
Im sorry to bother you, but declan, if you’re out there, you might be my new godx i swear. I might start a declan cult.
nice pfp
Man, the foreshadowing...
I watched this in reverse, Im in existencial coma
Does the step touch work with Cbat?
