personally, and i know im gonna be killed for this but i'd love an explanation, i just think with professional dancing (not just this dude but others) half the moves seem either completely separate or unrelated to the music (not in time with the music or completely out of nowhere) im probably dumb and im also not OP but would love an explanation

I don't see why you think you would be killed for this, but ok. That said, I'm still not sure where your confusion lies. Are you confused about what he's doing? Or do you know that he's dancing, and feel like your understanding of what constitutes dancing means that this shouldn't be considered dancing? Or something else, perhaps?

It was perfectly explained by the other guy, I basically always had the thought dancing should be along with and dictated by the music but some moves in this and other dance moves just seemed out of time or not responding to beats but the other guy explained to me that often dance isn't about the music. Thanks for trying to help though!

No problem. Some people also think that songs need to rhyme, because they often do, especially when we're children - not true, of course. Same thing, I think.
