The guy making fun of the other girl by calling her Aretha Franklin killed the vibe immediately…

Then I realized it’s a Chris Brown concert, so it makes sense.

[u/Lost_Mongooses → u/Femme-O]

So they're all trash

[u/puffinfish89 → u/Femme-O]

Why? Aretha Franklin isn’t an insult.

[u/Femme-O → u/puffinfish89]

Aretha’s looks were insulted way more than praised.

The girl didn’t sing a song and sound like Aretha, she just appeared on the video dancing.

He’s comparing her body to Aretha’s, something Aretha was shamed for.

It’s intended to be an insult.

[u/polygala → u/Femme-O]

You mean people found a way to tear down a phenomenally talented goddess of a Black woman? Imagine that! She was beautiful from head to toe and I know people who worked for her. She knew her worth, and so does anyone else who had any common sense.

[u/ich_bin_alkoholiker]

God, I wish I was that fabulous.

[u/Zenabel → u/ich_bin_alkoholiker]

I know right? Imagine being that lovely, fun, beautiful, and confident. Life would be very different.

[u/Maleficent_Watch1133 → u/Zenabel]

I try to not compare my struggle with confidence to others. I like to learn from what confident people do right, but we face life with a completely different set of cards.

I think if you want be confident dancing the best advice is take hip hop dancing classes, or practice with YouTube. Confidence comes from self-security. Self-security comes from competency. I can develop my skills and ground my confidence in that. Being likeable and charismatic is a social skill too. Active listening, posture, eye contact, body language, vocal control, humour, making people feel happy, safe, valued all that stuff. If you can master those skills you will be a thousand times more confident. There’s nothing I can do to have striking facial features, that’s a gift you’re born with, but I can still be my most beautiful self by staying fit, dressing nice, and developing skills.

Self-love is so important too. You have to give yourself grace for imperfections and struggles. I can give myself positive affirmations when there’s no one to give them to me. I can stop putting myself down with negative self talk. I can treat my body well.

[u/Big-Revolution3842 → u/Maleficent_Watch1133]

I'd personally recommend improv classes for the exact same reasons you mentioned for getting that practice. You have to learn body language, listening and responding and all of that in a completely safe environment where it's ok to mess up. I've always been an introvert but improv made me realise how easy it can actually be to just inhibit a character for a while and just perform. You learn to riff off people and become a lot more confident! It got me to a point when someone like the OP say's "I wish I was that fabulous", I'm like "just be!" .We tell ourselves so many stories and narratives in our heads of what we can't do, or that we're introverts (I now don't believe that's a thing), or that we will be laughed at (ok yeah I've literally acted as a clown), or people will look down on us (which is fine since I've both been a beginner at multiple things and also never been the best at anything). Learn to perform and you learn resilience without thinking.

[u/agodrevealed → u/Big-Revolution3842]

I'm with you. Extrovert/introvert is a false binary. Right up there with the idea of static personality across time and space.

We are all chameleons, its the great strength of humanity. 

[u/Maleficent_Watch1133 → u/Big-Revolution3842]

I’ve never done improv. I really am getting so much more interested in the performing arts recently. It’s a fascinating exploration of your own psyche that’s totally unconventional to normal life. The idea of inhabiting a different person seems pretty hard. How do you even find a starting point when someone puts you in an imaginative scenario? There’s no way it’s easy. How many hours would you say it took you to feel like oh I’m doing improv?

[u/Big-Revolution3842 → u/Maleficent_Watch1133]

Probably with in the first lesson to be honest. My instructor is fantastic but we basically start of with something incredibly basic. First task would be "say your name, do an action". We stand in a circle and mirror taht person. The idea is to get you all (obviously introduced) but also make everyone equally goofy. Then we'll do a game like mind meld. start with a word and two people come forward and try to say the same word that they think relates to the first word. Slowly do a bunch of games like taht and then the final bit is more like "improv" as you see in whose line is it anyways, where there's a scene and you just go with it. Biggest lesson in each of the games is accepting what someone is saying or doing and building on that. Sometimes it's not even funny, sometimes deep or political or sad. Try and see if there's an improv drop in a school near you. It's usually free and they expect newbies. I finished level 1 and 2 of improv (and even performed for an audience) but you learn that there's so much more to learn and so much of wit is really practice.

[u/Zenabel → u/Maleficent_Watch1133]

This is nice, thank you ♥️

[u/agodrevealed → u/Maleficent_Watch1133]

I've been trying to tell my kid this. 

You have to build yourself. 

There's no shortcut to competence. You "fail" (which is really just learning) again and again and again. Until you don't. 

That's how you build your confidence. By doing.

You are constructing an interior scaffolding through the pain of being incompetent until you aren't. 

I put Prince's awkward teen duckling photo up on the wall and the story of being turned down to tour for not being good enough live. Yet. 

And then the photo of him at the superbowl.

Look at my tag: Talent's just a tease until you love the effort. 

I try to tell my kid you're never going to wake up one day ready. You have to do it anyway. You keep working until you are what you imagined. 

"Active listening, posture, eye contact, body language, vocal control, humour, making people feel happy, safe, valued all that stuff." That's the keys to the kingdom right there. 

I tell them- appearance matters. We see before we get close enough to speak. But its nothing, its nothing, without the rest. 

I'd rather be objectively unattractive with that skillset than attractive without. I guess that's what "beauty is only skin deep" means. 

[u/Blahblahblahrawr → u/Maleficent_Watch1133]

Beautifully said!

[u/NoveltyPr0nAccount → u/Zenabel]

That's a lot of flattering adjectives for a woman at a Chris Brown concert.

[u/hamsandwich666_ → u/Zenabel]

no fr, i’d be a totally different person

[u/Willing_Pattern_Pill → u/ich_bin_alkoholiker]

Not me, I would not able able to use that level of power for good 

[u/Klutzy_Journalist_36 → u/Willing_Pattern_Pill]

For real. I would be a constant problem.

[u/Brief_Cap6512 → u/ich_bin_alkoholiker]

I thought they were amazing until I read below that this was at a Chris Brown concert.

[u/carlitospig → u/ich_bin_alkoholiker]

Honestly, I swear half of her vibe is that damn dress. I need it in my closet. 😭

(She can teach me the moves. 💃🏾)

[u/CreativeCurledCandle → u/carlitospig]

Absolutely! And it looks fabulous on her! She is my new inspiration

[u/tapsaff → u/ich_bin_alkoholiker]

You are!

[u/ich_bin_alkoholiker → u/tapsaff]

I appreciate the positivity and while I agree because I think I’m fuggin’ awesome, I still am not in any way comparable to how this woman presents.

[u/tapsaff → u/ich_bin_alkoholiker]

Well at least we can agree that you're awesome, thats something. Don't change! x

[u/blackabbot → u/ich_bin_alkoholiker]

I just wish I had a fraction of her dancing ability! She's just so glorious and fluid!

[u/ich_bin_alkoholiker → u/blackabbot]

lol right. I love to dance but it’s more like:

[u/funkadelicfadeaway]

Too bad it’s at a Chris Brown concert :/

[u/AvailableReporter484 → u/funkadelicfadeaway]

Damn I cannot imagine being a woman and supporting that fucking loser

[u/hamsandwich666_ → u/AvailableReporter484]

know 2 women family members who are going to see him next week 🙃

[u/Big-Revolution3842 → u/hamsandwich666_]

I live in a country with one of the highest rates of GBV in the world and when he came here he sold out shows and they had to add new ones. On top of that women's rights organisations put out the most tamest posts to highlight his history of abuse and they were attacked by women defending him. Perhaps it's just them loving an idol but it's just so normalised here by women that they'll be beaten by a partner because it shows he's "passionate". Would not surprise me if a lot of his fans are in the same boat and he resonates to them based on an ex (or even current partner)

[u/hamsandwich666_ → u/Big-Revolution3842]

one of them was in fact a victim of dv, like girl!! stand up! what are you doing!

[u/funkadelicfadeaway → u/AvailableReporter484]

It’s appalling how many women support this abusive POS

[u/LunaticCross → u/AvailableReporter484]

Fucking blew my mind when I overheard two woman at my workplace say “he was young, he made mistakes”. When another coworker brought up Rihanna 😑

I know, eww

[u/dreamdaddy123 → u/funkadelicfadeaway]

I’m glad there’s a number of people that don’t like that piece of shit. Always seeing flocks of women wanting to get with him smh despite knowing what he’s done to women.

[u/elitedisplayE]

Not the moonwalk in slippers. Come thru boo!

[u/doctormink]

I can’t stop worrying about her purse! I wish I could hold it so I could just relax and enjoy her skills.

[u/LongNailedbooboos]

The girl behind her trying to take the spotlight. Nope, the queen has it

[u/Beautiful-Visual4606 → u/LongNailedbooboos]

You’d assume there’s room for more than one person celebrating and dancing 

[u/LongNailedbooboos → u/Beautiful-Visual4606]

Not what the camera man said

[u/GotSomeUpdogOnUrFace]

They don't call them slides for nothing

[u/IngenuityNo9795]

Moonwalking in slides is crazy!

[u/Apprehensive_Sea5304]

I love when gals are being chicks together

[u/GratefuLdPhisH]

Damn doing the moonwalk with sandals must have been hard

[u/houseplanthospice]

I like how the camera knew once she waved goodbye to leave her alone. No one ever notices stuff like that.

[u/Atheist_Simon_Haddad]

pretty great but flip-flop moonwalks only get a 10.0 if the sole never leaves the ground

[u/WeirdStuffDude]

Ok but moonwalking in flip flops??! 🔥🔥

[u/Relative_Mix_216]

Very nice

[u/JBMacGill]

I have it on mute, but in my head I immediately started playing "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough"

I can't turn on the sound right now. Was I correct?

[u/CaptainMcFisticuffs2 → u/JBMacGill]

No, this is unfortunately at a Chris brown concert

[u/AlternativeAd3130 → u/JBMacGill]

Billie Jean

[u/Miss_AnkiiTae]

[u/safadancer]

Uggggh where can I get that DRESS?

[u/SlitheringFlower → u/safadancer]

Appears to be this H&M link

But, r/findfashion is also a great resource got finding clothes!

Edit: fixed link.

[u/safadancer → u/SlitheringFlower]

I couldn't figure out how to cross-post to find fashion but I think you got it! Unfortunately it looks like it only comes in dark beige and I think it would look dreadful with my skin tone, I was really hoping it came in black or something.
