People be sleeping on your wisdom bro, and honestly I feel kinda selfish cause a part of me wants to keep this gold mine a secret. But at the same time i would like to see this art form level up as a whole
The comparison to a martial arts fight makes so much sense. How tf are we supposed to enjoy dancing when all we're thinking about is technique and next move. Great video.
That marinated chicken analogy is the best advise I've heard about freestyle. I am 48 and just started learning about the world of freestyling 2 years ago. Time is ticking but I now know I can't rush it & just go slow and with the flow....
Kevin I am a better dancer and HUMAN today because of your outlook on dance and life. You are limitless and I hope you know all the good you put out to this world will come back to you. Hang in there during this tough time of the injury - me and so many are rooting for you every step of the way. Hope to train with you some day, maybe even a ted talk. The true paradox is that the limit does not exist. Thank you and namaste. 🙏🏼
Sorry to hear about your injury. As someone whose been dancing for 20+ years I can confirm that its simply part of the journey for most dancers. No one gets out whole, unfortunately. Hope your injury is something you can manage and eventually eliminate all together!
It's great how your delivery is easy to understand, I dance for a long time having some mental locks in different aspects of my moves and patterns, but your talks always helped me to understand what I want to do in my dance. You are the biggest inspiration for me!
Oh Bro , I truly wish your condition will become better again , and start the expression of your art It's always been a pleasure and inspiration to look at your dance and feel those philosophy behind your mind and body You give people more then just a guide , also the attitude you persist through live is what truly changed me It's good to see you here again , hope to see you again in the future with your best condition !
I love how you bring a spiritual aspect with your dancing and you have the right mindset. Nothing wrong with winning and being competitive, but at the same time bringing the best out of yourself and not allowing ego to limit your potential. You officially have a new fan, i fucks with you Paradox, Keep it up!
These videos are so invaluable. Thank you for sharing your mentality and dance philosophy. Im a beginner dancer and easily get overwhelmed by technique and everything I have yet to learn which disconnects me. Your way of thinking reminds me what is really important-connecting to my feeling, the music, expressing myself, and storytelling which is what makes art fulfilling and relatable. I cant wait to watch all your question videos and more!
Dear Paradox, thank you again for your true sense of sharing. I am a frecn dancer and I have lots of personal questions, but I will start with this one, trying to make it as general as I can : Nowadays, Hip-Hop events are generally really cut into disciplines : Popping, Hip-Hop, Breakdance, Locking, Krump etc. But it is not always so simple to put labels on dancers I think. Have you already experiment the feeling of considering a style of dance (for example popping), as your style of predilection, whereas you feel more free, in your body and mind, when dancing in Hip-Hop/freestyle category for example? Just like if your head was saying "popping" and your body "hip-hop freestyle". Is it a real question, or is it just that I must try harder to turn the constraints into strenghts. (Sorry if it is not clear enough), Peace, Kim.
awesome video!! It's just nice to have another like (open) minded homie that isn't afraid to be vulnerable, express all aspects of the art which me and a hell of alot of other people can resonate with. Look forward to meeting you one day and sharing a battle, peace be the journey and thank you!
You are the best this all think is verry interesting you have special mind and great ideas to help a lot of dancers in this word bro About what you talking right now for me it's real hip hop he talk to us not just paradox I give you so big respect your the best man ( I thik you have great personality and this think I can't see it in your body when you dance master _paradox ) peace and love bro
Thank you so much for sharing this information with us! Im glad to see you getting back on your feet (literally) in dance. Stay strong and keep building. I pray your injury heals well
Hi Paradox big fan, I'm a popper whose delved in a bit of hip hop and have mostly been self taught, my two questions are, (1) how can you make sure you've built up your foundations(style foundations) properly without outside consultation/aid so you can start experimenting with the style(popping) and (2) how do you groove or learn to groove to music that you really don't like or doesn't accent you style very well whilst not killing your own style to do it.
1.) If you can talk just in your basics and and converse only from there, you’re good to experiment. 2.) Grooving in Hip-Hop is a feeling. You’d don’t learn to groove, grooving comes from something that feels good and your body just repeats it over and over again, what makes a groove is a bounce, rock, with an intention. So if you can find that “feel good” feeling as you listen, stick to it and expand on it, let it FEEL good before moving on. Tap into the heart of your dance, not the thought of the move, when you’re grooving or dancing of course.
Amazing advice, thank you so much for continuing this series. I'm sorry to hear about your injury and I hope you find a way to help your recovery process!
Great video kevin, I'm sure you are making the best of your situation and are only utilizing it to grow and expand yourself even further. Thanks for the amazing energy and content, the dance world profits greatly from you!
hello paradox , i love your ''ask a paradox'' series so much and i would like to promote them to other people who also have the same problem in dancing with battles, musicality, grooves and others. I live in Taiwan, however, the country using chinese mostly. So i want to ask you , could you allow others to edit your video's subtitles. And i would like to add subtitles on some of your ''ask a paradox'' videos.
I wish u the best for your health! Stay strong =) Aaaaaaaaaand of course thanks for your insight! Its very much appreciated! Always a pleasure watching your videos, be it dance or talk
Hello Sir, you are legendary. Thank you for being there for us. As an artist I am skilled but sometimes I can't connect to the crowd... I get very nervous to get deeper within me when performing live, I fear I might get carried away. Please help, lots of love and god bless
hlo sir I'm big fan of u m from India i saw ur all RUclips it's helps me alot and i wanna ask u .. my all the things are growing day by day.. bcz my practice and your guides but.. i loose sometimes bcz of my expression .my attitude .my feel my flow is not break everything is good but expression attitude they disappoint me always i hope you solve my problem LY ❤️ sir
Hello Kevin. I have question too. Im from Czech Republic and im dancing with my friend. We dancing hip-hop we can call it new-style.We feel music and everything but my problem is that when i dancing lets say in my room alone i dance completely different . I mean i can feel it more i know that im dancing good im just myself.But when its come to moment when i have to show what i can do ..i cant feel it like in my room. I was in got talent show in my country..but instead i show how i like how i dance..I was too focused on moves and show that im good what people will like and shit like that if u know what i mean. Almost every time when i have oportunity and when i really need to show what im capable of im not in it..How i can be everytime focused and chilled ..how i can forget about people watching me? How i get that feel i have in my room everytime i dance ? Btw u are good dancer for me..big inspiration . I dance my whole life..i have a dream. But it is really hard specially in Czech Republic.. Sorry for my english.. I hope someone response..I wish u all good day.
I suggest you record yourself dancing, that way you can see yourself from an outside perspective and then you can truly judge how well you dance. Use footage from your dance sessions to improve things that you see that you dont like
@@3973555 cyphers.. get like that in cypers and it will amplify, the magic you get from your room.. from the room in your mind, to your own bedroom, to the cyphers to the battle... i bet you it all comes full circle to where ever you are, you were always in your head this whole time.. les twins said something like don't ask for the audiences permission to show your dancing.. INSIST it on your audience.. it's helped me but i try not to be so big headed when i do it because i'm a meek personality with big movements
Hi! I’m my name is Izzy, I’m from STL and I was wondering where do you think the ideal place to have a dance career is- meaning commercial or onstage broadway type-I’m not sure if I’m ready to move to L.A., I think I am going to go to college in Chicago... do you know if there are a lot of auditions that come to Chicago? Or if you know anything about the dance scene there I would love to hear it!
Hallo sir , you are so good thank help me to grow faster your video are really helpful . But I have a problem on my dance . Her's. My problem I am not doing dance for few months do to some family problem and when I start danceing again I forget how to dance on the song my body can't do anything my body not respond to the song . so gives some advice plz. Thank you and love you
Does anyone know ways of learning new and different moves for freestyle. I am constantly repeating dance moves, and I think this is because I don’t know many moves. I know all the styles, just moves that stop me from improving, any help would be appreciated. And your such a great dancer paradox much love.
Hi, i have actually already made an Ask a Paradox about this topic aswell! Hopefully u can find some answers there. How to stop repeating dance moves: ruclips.net/video/pmsNDpIP-gA/видео.html
HI Paradox, please help me with this! I danced hip hop for a very long time. I am very accurate with the moves I learned, but I haven’t find my STYLE. Everyone can have accurate and sharp moves from practicing but finding your own style/have the swag is not what you can learn from a teacher. Plz see me!
Yooooowww u are such an inspiration I really enjoyed that vidéo so much knowledge u are a book of dance 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 u are perfect your personality is strong and amazing just missing One thing in ur life Out of the conteste emmmm I wish u will consider to think of being a Muslim yeah I invite you to Islam , u gonna love this religion u gonna find The peace and the absolute self-satisfaction , you and ur creator I wish u the best recovery it's saad That u don't dance in battels anymore but I'm sure you Will be back stronger than before 🙏🙏
@@hungryandfoolish21 what's wrong with my words my Friend this is an exchange between me and him, he gived me an information that could help me in my dance carer and replied back with an advice that gonna help him in his life , the thing is that most of you guys don't understand whats the meaning of Islam most of u have a wrong image about Islam well I'm proud of my religion and I said it welcome to this beautiful religion , that takes you to the bright side .
@@hungryandfoolish21 I didn't ask him to stop dancing, a lot of. Great dancers are Muslim between them salah I didn't say anything wrong I just wanted him to be a Muslim cause if he willl be a Muslim he will be more than perfect . And it's easy for him not because he don't smoke or drink naaah cause he is wise and he knows what's good or bad for him I'm Just a proud Muslim that he will be more prouder if he got my message that's it.
People be sleeping on your wisdom bro, and honestly I feel kinda selfish cause a part of me wants to keep this gold mine a secret. But at the same time i would like to see this art form level up as a whole
Live a life of abundance my friend, share it. You'll benefit from it much more

"When a different music plays that doesn't fit my movement" So much meaning in a few words.
