Want to Become a Better Dancer?
- Watch and learn. Have a look at who inspires you to dance, this could be the Les Twins or even movies like Step Up. I recommend you to watch the first Step Up starring Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan. While watching, you can learn new moves or skills that can be incorporated into your dance choreography. In the film, Channing had to learn a new dance in order for him and Jenna to dance as a duo.
- Exploring different types of dance, and being able to dance to different genres will boost your skills and will make you stand out. You can look into afrobeat dance, pop&lock, etc.
- Practice. The only way to get better and improve is to keep practising. Practice your moves, re-listen to music to understand where the beat comes and goes, and feel the beat in your body.
- Be unique. Nowadays, everyone is trying to be the same. If you are yourself and show off your moves that have never been done before, it will make it easy for you to stand out.
