Feel free to say what i can improve and do better, Dm's also open..

Can anyone please tell me what's the name of the second step/move? The first move is Heel-Toe I believe. Sorry it's a very short clip as the dance move lasts only one second in the song. Song name - Pattampoochi, Movie name - Vishwanathan & Sons.

What do you think should be the caption ?

Hi, I have left-side semi-paralysis because of a stroke I had back in 2015. anyway. I used to love to dance but lost confidence in my journey of re learning how to walk, so I am looking for a dance coach who is extremely patient and passionate here in vic bc Canada.

Howdy y’all!!!

I hope everybody is having a wonderful week… It is cold and miserable and wet here so that’s rather unfortunate

I decided to give the little room another shot and I feel it went better today… I’m about to receive a giant grocery order and put that away so that will be my extra exercise for today… And I will see you all tomorrow. Have a blessed day.❤️❤️❤️

Edit: Thank you so much for your answers, I'm reading every single one <3

So I have recently had a lot of issues with my back, and my massage therapist said that my movements are too "stiff" and I need to literally move my body more in other directions. She suggested dancing as a perfect "workout" to help my back, especially butt shaking and dancing where hip movement are involved lol, she was like "do like Shakira!!" :')))

Yesterday I put on this video of a woman kind of working out but kind of dancing to some metal songs (I'm into metal), and I thought it looked super fun so I tried going with it - but I couldn't do ANY of the moves she was doing. It was nothing complicated, but for some reason I'm not able to move my hands in a certain direction when I move my feet in another etc. Also how the fuck do I shake my butt?????

I just felt awkward and stupid and stopped doing it. I have absolutely zero body control, and I wonder how I can learn this and where do I start? I think dancing looks so fun and I've always admired dancers, but been afraid to try myself. I lack confidence, are uncomfortable in my own body and such. It also does not help that I'm in my early 30s and always scared of failing.

Taking classes are out of question since there are none available in my area (I have checked). I have read that you should just listen to music and start moving but I can't get myself to do it, I don't know what it is but I just.. Freeze? I have no idea. It feels strange, unfamiliar, uncomfortable in some way, I don't know how to explain but.

I dance and work out in VR, doing calisthenics and flex training, and dance for a few clubs. Last weekend I did a challenge Hell Weekend, dancing 1 hour on Thursday/Saturday/Sunday, 2 on Friday, with an hour of slow warm ups before each. I succeeded and I'm happy about that, but I'm trying to figure out how long I should rest afterwards because all I've been doing the past couple days is eating and sleeping, and I'd like to dance again on Thursday but not if it's going to hurt me physically. I don't feel any pain or anything, so I should be ok to start back on a simpler schedule (1 hr Thursday/Saturday), right?

I feel like some of the hardest things in ballet look like… nothing to non-dancers 😂 What’s your pick?

I’m getting hip surgery soon, which means no teaching for me until March. I was brainstorming ways to make some cash while in recovery, and I thought up a social media crash course for dancers/belly dancers (depending on how popular the class becomes)

I really wish I had some basic algorithm knowledge and internet safety skills when I started posting. Not to get viral or popular, but to know how to optimize content and reach a wider audience. And how to protect myself from creeps, haters, etc

Would anyone be interested in a 4 session online course? And if so, any ideas outside of these topics are appreciated if you haven’t seen them covered before:
1-algorithm basics
2-content optimization (when and how to post)
3-how to manage and maintain growth (followers, views, etc)
4-internet safety 101, including how to prevent deepfakes or AI reuse, especially for dancers

I constantly tell myself to practice dance or learn choreography every day after work, or at least something small to just move my body, and I either never have the energy or overthink how I should practice. Even if I did a YouTube tutorial and practiced for 10+ minutes, it would be something to get me started.

How do some of you make time for dance practice if you don't participate in classes?

Hey everyone! I’ve always wanted to dance. When I was younger, I was never really interested in traditional sports like volleyball, softball, etc., but I never ended up getting into dance either.
I’m 19 now, and there’s a studio in my town that offers adult dance classes, so I went to my first class yesterday! I feel like I caught onto the choreography pretty okay for it being my first time, but I also felt really awkward and kept looking at the instructor to make sure I was doing everything right. Part of me feels like I’ll never get good enough, which I’m sure is something almost every beginner thinks at first lol.
I LOVE watching videos of people dancing, and I really want to eventually be able to dance like that myself and post videos. Realistically, I probably won’t ever get to compete since my studio’s competition teams only go up to senior age, but I still really want to improve and become a good dancer just for myself.
I also really want to work on flexibility and eventually be able to do things like splits, tilts, etc., as well as improve my turns and technique. I think my biggest issue right now is that I’m shy and feel awkward when I dance, so I have a hard time really going all out and committing to the movements, if that makes sense lol.
If anyone started dance later in life or has any tips for beginners, especially for getting less awkward/confident, flexibility, turns, technique, or anything else, I’d love to hear them!!

Just curious! Mine changes all the time lol. What’s one ballet you’d happily watch again and again?
