I love this type of dance what classes should i take to learn to dance like that? x

I would not think anyone would teach a class that would include anything like that. Not even a street dance class. She isn’t doing any formalized form of dance just moving to the music freestyle with a few hip hop type movements thrown in.

So after you learn the foundations of any dance, how long does it take before you can
1) master the basic steps and
2) freestyle comfortably.
And let’s say I’m practicing about 3-4 hours a days.

I would say practicing 3-4 hours a day sounds like a great idea… if you are practicing the right things. Remember practice doesn’t make perfect, practice makes PERMANENT.
My recommendation would be to not stop at the fundamentals. If you really want to get better, push yourself to the next level. As your learning progresses, the basics will become more and more natural as the difficulty increases. Mastering basic steps only comes from continuing to build upon those steps. Careful not to go too fast, but keep pushing.
We are always our own worst critics. Believe when others tell you you are doing well. They can judge how you look and how you feel to other people. You can be the only judge to how it feels to yourself, but I’ve never met anyone that was honest about that.
Main thing is, have fun, keep expanding, practice well and supervised if possible. Dance is an art not a science and there is no true measure of one’s spirit.

And how young and how far from perfect fitness do you have to be in order to do it? I’m 37, quite fit and would love to do just a little bit of that.

Here are a few websites I found & some have video clips:

I’ve chosen to base my choreography around music through time, and how the development in music has changed dance, or the other way around I guess. I was thinking some parts could be like a bit of a ’street’ battle, with classical and modern dancers having to give way to commercial hip hop, and stuff like that. Any ideas?

Also, the music is a bit of a problem. I’d love to be able to have loads of pieces of music all into one, with them sort of colliding and blending as it goes along, from classical music at the beginning to hip hop/commercial at the end. The problem is, I have no idea whatsoever how to do this. XD My dance teachers music editing capabilities branch out as far as cropping, (which she wasn’t great at anyway, had to do it myself…) so she’s no help at all. I’ve asked around, but I don’t know anyone who can do that sort of thing.

Any help is welcomed! Message or email me if you have any questions or stuff… but thanks in advance

Hey

Check on the internet for tutorials on this… it certainly isn’t easy. I’m taking a two year GCSE in Performing Arts, i’ve already had one year and sound is really hard to get right sometimes. Choose songs with similar drum beats to blend into each other.

beginner jazz class
ages 10 & up

i’m wondering what we would learn in the class over the year and how the whole class would go from beginning to end.

im just curios on what to expect. Thanks!

You would probably start with a warm up or stretch. and then do acroos the floor and learn basics and have the teacher explain and critque u on certain moves 9your teacher will teach you in adv) and maybe they might teach you a combo if u have time and then usually a warm down. this is what will probably happen but it depends on the teacher. they will teach u everything u need to know, dont worry about it and have fun. hope i helped and never stop dancing

So what is it about dance that you keep dancing?
How do you are dancing?– Other then the popping and hip shaking or the glamor make up and the costume.
What keeps you dancing?
I ask myself this but, it will take me forever to figure it out.
So I decided to ask you this.

dancing is an art,i love it.
what keeps me dancing?
its my heart that tell me to keep dancing.
its the music that i enjoy when i dance.
i enjoy dance its smth really beautiful.
its a talent tht people got from god.
when i hear any music my feet tells me to stand up and start dancing.
dancing is abt music.
dancing is not only shaking yr body and make up and costume its enjoying the music and just keep on dancing not caring for anyone you and your mind and body is just inolved in dancing
thts all i know what dance is.

He may have better luck not treating you like a stripper.

I’d tell him to go to hell.
