How can I learn to dance/glide like this guy?
How can I learn to dance/glide like this guy?
Does anyone know of any helpful tutorials? He clearly practices certain drills to be able to wing it. It's not just a matter of learning one pattern.
Also, are those special shoes that allow him to easily be on his tippy toes with out bending?
You might be underestimating the amount of strength and precision needed to move your body like this. My mom spent 20ish years dancing ballet. She once told me that the idea that dancers are weak or fragile is a joke. Their strength and mental fortitude is on par with few. She was also trained in the Russian style so...
Anyway if you are looking for a plane to start. You may find barre helpful. It is a tupe of exercise which has it roots in ballet. It teaches, strength, flexibility and teaches you how to target movement to individual muscles. It will help build the body kinesthesia needed to move like that.
I know a dancer, who worked on a cruise ship. It was a running joke, in the communal canteen, how the smallest of them could put away twice what the big burley sailors could eat. They demolished food, yet kept their figures. What they didn't see was the relentless rehearsals etc, that burnt it all away again.
Dancers are about as frail as a goods train!
Look into breakdancing lessons
Same principle as the original moonwalk, just variations of it. The gist of it in of itself is actually fairly simple. The hard part is to make the whole motion so fluid and smooth that it ends up looking like this or MJ, which is simply lots and lots of repetition / practice.
yeah, that's what I've gathered. I'm hoping to find some drills that would be helpful at developing those skills.
Aww man, why is the answer always "practice"? /s
I wonder if doing the Moon Walk would get you burnt at the stake for witchcraft a few hundred years ago.
do you think he has special shoes or put metal plates in his shoes? I just can't imagine that he's capable of getting on his tippy toes like that without bending the shoe at all.
First you have to be a little light in the loafers. jk, jk
First you need to learn to post links using more private alternatives in case of YouTube you can use freetube or libretube or something else there is a lot of private alternatives to don't force the people navigating to tracking websites.
Dude.... Chill.
I'm all for privacy. But I would much rather have the canonical YouTube link that I can send to whatever private viewer I want, then some weird ass URL that doesn't parse properly.
