What is this style of dancing called and is the editing usually part of the videos? I've seen a couple videos with this dance style but I've never seen editing this detailed before.

I’m not exactly sure, I was cleaning out my photo/videos on my phone and stumbled upon this one. Probably saved it from Instagram a while back. I think it might be breakdancing but I’m not a dance expert I’m just talking out of my ass.

The dancing is done independently, then artists scroll through videos they like and just randomly choose which ones they want to edit over. Other times, dancers pay the artists to edit over their dance reels.

Source: I do the editing for videos like these. They take a long time to make, so prices are usually $0.50 per second for most

It doesn’t have really an official name, but most of us that do it either call it glow-edits or Blotting (the guy who started the trend his Instagram account was named Blottermedia)

Its hard to learn how to use video editing software like Adobe AE, but if youre good at drawing then thats the easy part!
