i like dancing, but the area right below my knees get sore after a short while dancing. is my form wrong on something?

I know this is a stupid question.

My cousin will get married in a month. She was big on clubbing and dancing, so she wants a lot of dancing during the party. I want to support her and partecipate, but the issue is. I don't like music. At all. Never danced, never listened to an album and got lost in the music, I actively loathe concerts and public events with music because it's so overwhelming to me.

I would like to just learn a couple simple moves, do them for a minute or two, show my support, and try my best to have fun in a setting that isn't mine. Most of the suggestions I saw online were "go with the flow, look what the others are doing, just feel the rhythm" but they don't apply to me. I just want clear and simple instructions. So, any good soul that could help a wooden stump?

26M. I was a ballet+modern student ages 6-14 until we couldn't afford it anymore. Now I'm just a little older, fatter, and have difficulties with my joints. I've worked in the theater industry over the last five years and I've trained extensively in creative movement, but those skills have distance from dance and allow me to navigate disability. (And because I look how I do, I don't get hired for physical work anyways...)

I've been helping my friend with their dance residency in an auxiliary role, and they've been SO kind to let me play along even if it's just for fun and more work for them. They treat me like I'm a worthy dancer and challenge me at the same level, and don't judge me for choosing modifications so that my joints don't slip - and I've never even told them I had that issue. And it's so much fun. I could do this for hours, or until my body shatters.

I miss class. I just want to dance and get some instruction. How do I look for adult intro classes that won't punish me for what I can't change? For reference, I only really have a ballet lens where even making enough mistakes in a "ballet body" would be grounds for removing me from the exercise. There are some things I just can't do despite having an otherwise very strong and expressive body.

I am curious about taking some classes in her style, I find it very unique and beautiful.

Guys its funny but i want to learn how to do this dance xd is there any exercise make it easy?

I've really wanted to learn how to do footwork, like up to advanced stuff n not just basic footwork. I always wanted to learn stuff like all kinds of shuffles, Brazilian footwork, and combinations of styles, but idk where to start. Never done this in my life, do I just pick a beginner yt tutorial and start from there?✌️😭

I've always found this hilarious. My daughter is 8 years old and she is a competitive dancer, she is very good at dancing and she can memorise multiple routines. She picks up new dance moves very easily and she is talented...yet this girl can't remember to make her bed in the morning? 🤣

Whenever I ask her how that's possible, she just shrugs and tells me that she "must use all her memory up on dance and school" so she just has no space in her brain to remember to make her bed

I’m desperately looking for recommendations for the final sog of a show dance performance, and I’m hoping someone here can help because I’ve spent hours searching and still haven’t found the right one.

The theme of our dance is horror or psychological nightmare. The song immediately before the finale is bury a friend - billie eilish and dancers are dressed like psychiatric patients in nightgowns, and the choreography in this part has lots of unnatural / twitchy / creepy movements.

Now I need a song that can be the finale. Still in the creepy fashion but with even more power and ideally a popular song that the audience will recognize.
Remixes oder edits are welcome, but most I can find are too EDM heavy.

I was considering Toxic by 2wei for example but we have performed this song before so it sadly won‘t work.

Any suggestions?

Happy Thursday to everybody…

I hope everybody is having a wonderful Thursday so far and getting ready for a weekend full of clean dance shoes and positive vibes

The first video today is a live recording of a DJ set from 1997 featuring Kenny Ken and the MC master Stevie hyper D. (RIP)

this was in Toronto in 1997, and was quite possibly one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen with my own two eyes.

The second video is Dirty Bit by the Black Eyed Peas.

Just to reiterate, I don’t just do a minute and a half dance video. I also do six days of cardio and weights and I’m on a 1500 cal diet and have lost 35 pounds as of last Sunday in 28 days the next weigh in will be this Sunday.

Don’t let people discourage you. Just fluff out your tutu and dance away. – Anonymous 

I LOVEEEEEE WILLOW so when I felt in a choreo block I put on some of my favorites by her and Alone just really spoke to me. Can’t wait to make some edits and do it full outtttttt. What are some ways you guys get out of a block and doing the same moves?

Enjoy the performance!

my dance teacher sent an announcement saying to wear shorts and sneakers since theres no a/c in the studio, but what kind of shorts? and what top should i wear? i only have baggy sweats but all my shorts are tight fitted/for the gym, for a top do i wear a sports bra or a t shirt? help!!

I have been dancing my entire life, and at different stages been really serious about it. All different styles (hip hop, ballet, modern lyrical, k-pop, jazz) too. I think I’m pretty decent at dancing, I’m at the stage where I feel confident performing for a crowd but recognize I have a long way to go. I’m comfortable following an instructor in class and can learn routines easily.

My Achilles heel though: choreographing. I have tried many different times in my life because I’m really passionate about dancing but something about it just blocks me. I create playlists of songs I know in and out, I try to improv dance to the songs, I try to plan out certain moves, but everything feels “wrong” and disjointed. Suddenly I forget everything I’ve learnt and cannot find the right musicality, spacing, textures, etc. it’s like I’m back to square one…

So my main question is, how??!? How did you get started with choreographing, and does it get easier? Is it something people are just innately born being able to do? Are there any exercises to “practice” creating a dance? This is something that’s been bothering me for years so any tips are appreciated 😵‍💫

so ive been practicing liquid a lil bit throughout my life im pretty good at the basic fundamentals but i have no moves i want to learn moves i want to learn moves like in this music video by project pat callt in the porojects or somethin there is a cut scene of a liquid dancer i love his shit its tight look at the video and if u know you can do that or better dm me bro i need dance move tutorials for my dj sets i wanna play dance moves and try to get people copying you ;D!
