IMPORTANT!

Hard to Breathe - Grp 1



At 21 secs, no opening of hands.
@ 24 secs, hands are not touching each other, they are parallel.
@ 26 secs, hands MUST touch your head.
@ 29 secs, right leg should bend more.
@ 36 secs , right hand is AWAY from your body.




Hard to Breathe- Grp 2



@ 20-21 secs, hands are rising gradually; a smooth action.
@ 22secs, legs to do not sweep against the floor.
@ 23 secs, hands MUST touch your head.
@ 25 secs, right leg should bend more.



* Overall, try to get your timings, use more strength and improve on your lines!:D



Keeps Getting Better Group 1



@ 26 secs, it's 3 "N" , where your hands hit down with your right knee turning inwards.
From 44 - 45 secs, you are to arch your back, so that your chest go forward. Also, stretch your hand as far back as possible.



Keeps Getting Better Group 2




@ 32 secs, hands are behind your head, not beside your ears.
@ 43-44 secs, both legs are to bend.
@ 50 secs, neck is relaxed and look down!


Overall, this choreo is better than hard to breathe.
However, still the same problems, we need to use more strength, bigger moves, cleaner lines, and most importantly, get steps right.
If you have any problems or questions, feel free to ask me [:
Try ( MUST ) not be so shy , dance all out. & we'll all look really good!:D

Ways to Improve on Dancing ( For Reference) :

1) Take Dance Class- One of the best ways to ensure progress is to go for dance classes.Your muscle memory, coordination, and confidence will improve each time you come to class. The more frequently that you take class, and learn new choreography, the easier picking up the moves becomes. And remember, class is a time to learn. This is the time to mess up, ask questions, and develop your skills. As you learn from different teachers you will start to pick up on their style of hip hop. Soon you will be able to execute the movements very similar to them.

2)Watch Other Dancers- This is so important when you are wanting to improve your skills. Watch videos of great dance performances, dance movies and choreography. watch them over and over. Ask yourself, what are they doing that makes them look so good? What elements are they adding that make them stand out? Watch music videos and live performances. You will start to pick up on the vibe that the dancers are giving off.

3) Practice your Freestyle- Freestyle dance is an art within itself. It is important to frestyle so that you can learn your body and how it moves. The more you freestyle the more you become comfortable in your own skin and you will gain more confidence w/ your dancing. Everybody has their own vibe and being able to freestyle defines your style and your individuality as a hip hop dancer.

4)Ask Questions From Other Experienced Dancers and Choreographers ( Gin/ Mr. Kong, etc.)- It is always good to go straight to the source and asking them how and why they do what they do. Ask questions like who inspired you to dance? Dancing has a different meaning for everyone so knowing the reason why someone dances or why they dance a certain way can give you motivation to find your meaning and purpose for wanting to become an amazing hip-hop dancer. It also gives you guidance on what direction you want to go with dance.

5)Listen to music- It's not just about listening to the music, it is dissecting each element that makes up the track. The most amazing dancers have great musicality. They hear instruments and sounds in a song that you never knew were there. In turn their movements give the track depth and bring the song to life making the dancer more interesting to watch. By developing your musicality your moves will be far more advanced and more people will love to watch you dance.

6) Listen to Criticism- It might sometimes be difficult to identify our mistakes ourselves, thus, listening to criticism, digesting them and correct your mistakes.

7) Schedule Practice Time - Always practice consistently. Dance whenever, and wherever you can.

8)Don't be too afraid/ too shy to express and dance- many of us are too shy or hesitant to dance it all out. It will hinder your progress, and affect how you look when you dance. Dance is performing, when it comes to performance, there is no shyness.
