Online tutorials for TikTok and music video routines can help many people learn how to dance. During the pandemic, the rise of TikTok and dancing videos has been remarkable all around the world. The long journey of lockdown has shown that dancing is still a popular hobby. If you are looking for an easier movement to begin to learn dance routines at home, TikTok has plenty options of varying styles with corresponding guidance.
How does TikTok help to make us move?
While some people manage well to reproduce choreographies from dance videos, others still struggle with every single move. Many creators of popular TikTok dances share short tutorials of 30 to 60-second time limit, often recorded in slow motion to make them easier to follow.
Sometimes, when trending TikTok movements are a little bit challenging and fast, some qualified choreographers like Vincent Vianen— from Amsterdam— provides more detailed instructions for free. Just a quick and simple online search would bring you what needs to be learnt.
There are many ways of teaching; so why is TikTok better? Apart from clear, specific directions and the opportunity to practice everywhere, TikTok dance routines award fun and rapid methods for its users.
These are some tips suggested by a professional choreographer in starting TikTok dance routines at home!
Record yourself: Vianen, who began his own dance training by watching videos, suggests filming yourself first and then watching the recording to see how you can improve. Sometimes you are going to be ashamed of what you did. In fact, do not expect to appreciate what you see, but that is part of the progress. In this way you become your own teacher.
Take breaks: According to Vianen, learning a dance is like solving a puzzle. Sometimes you want to give up, but then you give it another try. If you let it go, your subconscious can work on solving it without exactly concentrating on it. When you return, you might find yourself closer to a solution.
Keep it low-pressure: Everyone who dances at home never loses sight of having fun. It does not have to be about reaching fitness goals or attaining perfection. Dancing can just be relaxing, joyful and a release from your stressful everyday life. It can be whatever you want it to be!
