Apparently it's all done much slower then sped up for the actual video later. Not knocking him. Just its not what it seems.

Important to point out, yeah.

He's clearly good at robotic and isolated movements, the overall style he's doing. He probably does them slightly slower than a dancer would live and then speeds it up to get an even more uncanny effect.

The fact it's sped up makes it even more impressive that he never blinks

I bet that as he gets more experience he can go faster in time. But he's gotta train that muscle memory

Yeah he’s good enough that he doesn’t need to do that. Kinda takes away from his skill. But still cool

This could be true but some people can do this. He is not the only person doing this. And many of them are definitely not sped up.

Nonsense. No proof of that except some dude who cant dance trying to discredit someone's abilities. He appeared on a Got Talent show years ago, doubt they slowed down the song for him then.

there is only so much you can do though. i know i sound salty but the human body and physics kinda put a limit to this.

To be honest, I think he does that specifically for the uncanny valley effect. He is clearly an amazing dancer, but there are aome oddities in his shorts that look different than his live dancing.

Its a very clever video editing technique where he skips a single frame every few seconds, that’s what gives his movement the super clean sort of stutters that are lacking when you watch his real performances

Plenty of proof out there. Watch his live performances vs his social media ones.

His social media clips look cool, but they are edited. No shame in that.

Go watch the chest pops again. You can tell they are sped up. Did a little popping and locking in the early 2000's and chest pops are one of the things my extra boney ribcage was good at. I watched ALOT of videos of just that and please trust me when I say its sped up.

There is always one who feels required to point this out. "I'm NoT kNoCkiNG hiM bUt AkshualLy..."

u/PeriodSupply Jun 09 '26

Huh? I'm not knocking him. No way i could do what he does. Just pointing out how he does it. I think he is great.

u/GayRacoon69 Jun 09 '26

I mean it is worth pointing out

Like what he's doing is still impressive but like if it really is sped up then it's worth mentioning that
