Action --> Reaction

Dance needs to be taught in concepts, not just one motion at a time.

Why do so many people look crazy doing hip hop?

Well, one, it's part of the process. But two, we often force the movement. We see someone having a nice bounce in the chest, so we wiggle the chest.

And it looks wrong. Because it is wrong.

See, the movement in the chest is just a reaction. The primary action is the bending of the knees. When we focus on the initiating action, the rest falls into place.

And suddenly, soon enough, you look like a natural.

P.S. I learned this one from my amazing hip hop mentor, Ms Vee.
