So I am purging my fear of teaching dance on the internet, which is such a huge passion of mine. I have been so afraid of this moment for so long but I know that from it, massive amounts of creativity are being unleashed. Slowly but surely. This is my dream, and I am following it, through my fear, and making it happen. I DECLARE IT SO. AND SO IT IS!
I love you!

read comments (0)How To Hip Hop Dance – Moving Like A Hip Hop Dancer (
Author: admin
This video is for true beginners with no dance experience. People with no dance skill come to me all the time wanting to learn how to dance. In addition to classes, I teach private lessons, mostly to guys who don’t want to look dumb when they go to a dance with a girl. The key is to learn how to feel the music and move to it like a hip hop dancer does.
As I explain in the vid, 95% of the time you will be just moving or bouncing to the beat mostly in place. In clubs and dances, theres usually no room to bust it out, and if there is, it’s usually too dark to really see anyway. When I’m out at a club I can spot girls that know how to move well not because they’re busting it out, but because of the simple ways they move to the beat. That’s your goal: move to the beat like a really good dancer. So this video just skims the surface of how to do that.
This video shows you a few simple moves that you can put together into a sweet move. It’s important to master the small moves. That’s what sets you apart as a hip hop dancer and someone that is trying to hip hop dance.
Move videos will come later.

Learn To Breakdance:The Baby Freeze-
Author: admin
Buy The DVD http://breakdancedvd.com/
Hey You! This is a lesson from the totally dope, amazingly random, stupendously good TOP 20 BREAKDANCE MOVES DVD.
But hey, don’t trust us! Check out the reviews on Amazon. Search “How To Do The Robot” or go there directly: http://www.amazon.com/How-Do-Robot-Br…
So this lesson is for the turtle freeze, one of the most important and most basic freezes in the entire dance known as bboying (or breakdancing to most of you!). This freeze leads to so many things, most importantly, the WINDMILL! It’s necessary, it’s hot, it’s fresh, it’s DERELICTE (zoolander reference for those who are like huh? at this point). So that’s that. Enjoy and stay tuned for ever-increasing randomness from Elastic Illusion.
Oh Yah!

so you think you can dance huh? you think so?
Hay You! This is a lesson from the totally dope, amazingly random, stupendously good HOW TO DO THE ROBOT instructional DVD.
But hey, don’t trust us! Check out the reviews on Amazon. Search “How To Do The Robot” or go there directly: http://www.amazon.com/How-Do-Robot-Breakdance-Instructional/dp/B000MR9JA8/ref=pd_bbs_2/103-3602944-6639036?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1173954451&sr=8-2
Anyway!
In this lesson you will learn how to properly do the robot stop. Like the click when it locks into place. Like the sound of metal against metal when those gears find a resting point. Sharp like steel, yet fluid like water, the robot stop, once mastered, will make people think that they are on drugs while they watch you move. Why? Because you look so

How to dance POPPING tutorial – HEAD ISOLATION
Author: admin
http://funksessions.com/tutorials.htm Instructional video showing how to do head isolation dance moves. These are a bit difficult, but are a really cool effect once you can do them well. Just takes some practice time (use a mirror).
Hope I helped since there are very few videos on youtube about doing head isolations

In the first episode of Otis Funkmeyer's Popping for Absolute Beginners, we are focused on the VERY basics of isolation. Namely, what it is and how we can get started doing it in a way that is comfortable. I have found that the easiest way to begin to understand isolation is by playing with your hands. They are always available, they never make you feel self-conscious, and they allow you to practice while you sit at your desk. In further lessons, we will expand upon the ideas that we have begun exploring here. Start with the basics and progress slowly. I LOVE YOU! Otis http://www.funkmeyers.com P.S. Jenny is in Hawaii giving me the opportunity to come to you on a solo mission!
