FULL STEP-BY-STEP Details on EVERY SINGLE MOVE

This thorough step-by-step tutorial may even make you feel like you're in a dance class (cause it really is that long!) Stick with it, and you'll definitely reap the rewards.

There are many many repetitions, and that is for you to be able to go along with me and get it down step by step; no matter how skilled you may be in dance, remember that you are online and there are limitations as to the kind of support that I can give you. However, trying it with patience and really attempting each move one by one along with me, will in the end enable you to master this level. It is rather intricate and difficult to absorb at first; it is worsened with us being online. Trust me, when you take the time to really understand the moves and go with it at a digestible pace along with me; you can't go wrong.

Details on Each Move ❌

Here you will learn exactly how to do each move in detail. Remember that you can start and stop the video, rewind and fast-forward as you please. Its your first exposure to the choreography, so allow yourself to really get comfortable with it and go pace-by-pace. The PERFECTION comes later, when you start to practice with the music! (Undoubtedly the most exciting part!!)

COUNTING

If you are confident with each individual move, working out the counts can give you a better idea of exactly which moves go where and improve the timing of each individual step with it's transition to the next. Paving each move into the wider idea of the routine can be a little tricky, but once you get it down; it'll serve as a great foundation for the rest of your learning journey with this routine (the rest is just getting it down with music!)

FULL-OUT ROUTINE WITH MUSIC

Here is where you go full out, don't hold anything back and find your own rhythm to the song. This is about as far as I can go to help you, the rest is just you finding the beat that lives in your heart and believing in it without end. You've already come so far, now it is time for you to find your own unique meaning to this piece and leave it all out on the stage! (Or your bedroom floor.)

ROUTINE WITH MUSIC ❌

FINAL BOW

We just need one more thing from you to sign off on your first ever music video! Just make sure to follow it exactly - you'll see why later!

You do not have to send in another Final Bow, if you've already submitted it for one level.

HOW DO I RECORD MY VIDEO?

Just make sure that we can see up until your knees and that you are filming HORIZONTALLY. Try to get someone else to record for you or use a tripod if you have one!

For a background, you could even go outside to get as much space as possible. Taking over your living room for a few minutes may be a good idea as well!

Don't forget to wear your brightest and most '80s-like clothes too!

Once you have finished recording your video, follow the instructions in the form below to submit it.

If you are unable to fill out the form, email a google drive link of your video [in (.mov) or (.mp4) format] and labeled as

[INTERMEDIATE <Your name>] to tispcperformingarts@gmail.com.
