Freestlyes

[christian cutie danni]

Hey, well then.. I'm a passionate dancer, i totally love to dance. Ballet, hip-hop, freestyle, jazz, anything. But the thing is, at my school danicing isn't really what it should be. I'm wanting to freestyle, but my moves aren't always so great... Sometimes I get all nervous and really screw up my brilliant ideas, and look really stupid. Or worse yet, I can't think of something. Anyone have any freestyle moves they could explain, and possibly some tips to not freeze up and keep it hot?

Hmmm....when it comes to freestyle dancing, from what I've observed, you make it cool. At my chuch, whenever we have freestyle circles, it's more for fun and not even meant to look cool. Everyone just jumps into the middle and does whatever comes to their head, even if it looks kind of ridiculous. Of course, a church setting is different than school. My advice would be, just do your thing. If you have a certain style, go for it. If you have toruble making stuff up on the spot, make it up before hand. Choreograph it at home, and then use it as freestyle and, before you know it, you'll be making stuff up on the spot.

Another idea is to pick a couple of base moves and steps that you really like, and then practice them as much as you can. Then, when you are freestyling, and you get flustered, just fall back on the one or two (or even three) base moves that you picked until you feel comfortable again. That's what helps me, maybe it will help you as well. Most importantly though, have fun with your dancing, as long as you are enjoying it, don't worry about what everyone else thinks.
