I've been b-boying for years. If I knew, or practiced, other styles today, I would be a much better b-boy. Just by watching how other dancers interpret their dance and the music, there is a lot of inspiration that you can get from dances besides your own
and you play dota 2, what's your id mate?
Very true, opens a lot of different dimensions to make you a real refined unit instead of generic set performer.
@@SarthakMishraDance bro thank god i quit this game haha too much stress
@@SarthakMishraDance wtf how do you know that?
Do you still dance?
If so, just throw yourself into other styles, capoeira, floor work (contemporary) and house (in my opinion, it's completely different in terms of mechanics and rhythms but it does fit quite well) are amazingly connectable to Breaking 🤘🏼
Ok high key-- This is a massive dub for animators, wtf. So many dances, slow mo, and breakdowns in a single video. Explanations of the basics and even some history. I've struggled to collect animation reference this good in all my 20+ years of drawing. INCREDIBLE work.
for real! i was just thinking about how this video is also a great video for character reference and design, too!
that is LITERALLY why im here LMAO
Fr as an animator this is sick
im here for exactly this: amazing refs for art!
This should be in the first video all beginners dancers must watch. Not just genres but also a bit of the history, respect the origin. This is great, Steezy!
Hopefully not.
They didn't cover single dance from Europe.
Jumpstyle and Hakken are such an iconic dances, yet they're not even mentioned in video.
@@walkelftexasranger Ballet is from Europe.
@walkelftexasranger is shuffle not a style of jumpstyle and from Europe?
History and context are SO important and I love how everyone emphasized that here. Especially for dances rooted in THE culture. It is disrespectful to siphon those dance forms and not pay homage to the communities and struggles that birthed them.
Exactly 👍🏾
Many of these have wrong information
@@windsurfer8824 you can share what you know here so we all learn. 👍🏾
What does it mean to "siphon" a dance form? Is it mimicking? I'd be ok with somebody trying out any of these styles even if that sombody doesn't know much about the history. Most of the dancers in the video emphasize self-expression as well as community. And, really, dancing isn't the saving the world; it's dancing, so why not? Let people have fun and do their thing.
@declup if u didn't understand the context of main posters comment...don't respond
Please make a part 2 including belly dance , heels , Contemperary , jazz , house and others. Thanks Steezy ❤
yes! please!
tutting and popping as well
..they don't teach bellydancing.
@@parishadnz.6048 but it is still a style of dance , a very exquisite one too.
@@parishadnz.6048 yes they do
So we're all just going to ignore they got Don Campbell's son for the locking section?
Steezy has the most clout.
Getting respect from everybody.
Facts when I first watched this video I was like wait the son? Yeah nah whatever he says wikl ve correct so listen closely😆
To the producers, editors, writers & team that no doubt spent MONTHS researching, sourcing, organizing, and getting all these choreographers together to compile such a beautiful and knowledgeable video, thank you. To the choreographers sharing their talent and the history of these dances, thank you. To the communities and folks that created these dance styles, even deeper thank you. Jobs feed us, but dance & the arts feed our souls and enrich our lives in enumerable ways.
WELL SPOKEN!!! ❤❤
aweee seeing Dennis Danehy talking on the history and about his father like that is just sooo beautiful! That was finally the most comprehensive and true dance list for locking I've seen since being only on CZcams. Like when people doing wrist rolls kinda do it just in one place.
It's such a blessing to have Dennis be our Locking advisor!!

Thanks for watching y'all ❤. If we make another one of these, which styles would you like to see?
I would like to see brazillian funk dance,. rio de janeiro or sao paulo style
House, Jazz
Waacking!! Such a hidden gem of a style, Waackxxxy is one of the best waacking dancers and was the first female to ever win Red Bull’s Dance Your Style a couple months ago 🔥🧯
Add some house dance please 🙏🏻
Hip-Hop
Shuffle, breakdance, waving, locking were my personal favourites.
But the presenter for dancehall and ballet were so well spoken and chill.
@@teambreezyI think afro and krump need a certain attitude to pull off, one that I personally don’t have.
@@teambreezy maybe you'll enjoy watching korean dance reality show then
Respectfully let's call it Breakin'/Breaking/B-boying/B-girling! 🙏
@@Ina_Tomaafro isn't a dance. It's amapiano dance.
@teambreezy nothing is called "afro dance" pls just say amapiano dance. Ugh.
I love how most of their personality matches their dance style like ballets girl is calm and bhangra girls are energetic
i literally came to say this! they all match theri dance styles so welL. It truly shows how much we can truly express through dance
The Krump lesson was IMPRESSIVE!
I thought the robot dance was the most impressive actually... 😂
As a shuffler and as others have pointed out, it is crucial to also include the "T-Step" along with the Running Man as the foundational moves. These two together is what makes shuffling and the illusion that one is gliding through the dance floor. Also as someone from the Chicagoland area, "Mike n Ikes" is not a name used in shuffling. As you said, it has a lot of names and shuffling commonly uses "Crab" like from hiphop or "Heel Toe", but the name "Mike n Ike" is directly referencing Chicago Footwork. While the move is very similar, the name and style differentiate the two. Look up Chicago Footwork by King Charles and Pause Eddie and you'll see where "Mike n Ikes" comes from. I love that the video is showing a glimpse of the history of each dance so it's important to know these terms and where they came from! Otherwise cool video!
Thank you so much for this Matt!!
Heel is different from Mike n ikes. In funk social dances from 60s/70s this move was the Watergate or the funky chicken. Even further back to Vernacular solo jazz its connected to the Mashed potato or the twist
One thing that I really love about being a (mostly) self-taught dancer is that I've never noticed all the different styles that I've incorporated into my choreographies!
I'm mainly a hip-hop, shuffler and waving + whacking dancer, but I've recently looked into breaking to spice up my solo performances. It's amazing how you could use multiple styles in one choreography to compliment each other!
I’m SO glad yall made this!!
It’ll be so helpful to send to folk who ask me “Where should I get info to become a better dancer?”
It helped me learn some history of styles too! The founder of locking’s son was SO COOL to present!
Also we love Gravity
BARK
Great video! Only wish they threw in "House". Always loved that style. Hopefully they can make a part 2 in the future.
I was looking for this comment! Sad there was no House
Its so cool to see how interconnected these dances and cultures are. makes me feel proud of the world haha
I'm so stoked to see Jaja on here, I've been a fan of hers since she was on ABDC with IAMME. For people who don't know, she's also an amazingggg krumper too. Krump looks so fun and immensely complicated and layered and I want to learn it. Honestly i want to combine a bit of a lot of these dances. I feel like as a dancer I'm a mix of vogue, robot, and krump. And sprinkle in some litefeet too because that looks so fun!
I mean, when I went to a hip hop studio when I was younger I ended up learning some forms of Whacking, shuffling and basic forms of breaking. And now my style is basically a mixture of those 3.
@3:22 "dancers will play with using arm movements from Tecktonik, a French dance done to electro music"
'Tecktonik' was a trend and a marketing brand. The real heritage is named 'Electro Dance' by the community ⚡
Love how you guys ordered the appearances of the styles and actually covered so many styles I had no idea existed!
(Ngl I was waiting to see locking and I ended up watching the whole video just to see it at the end. I guess that's one way to get more watch time haha)
Hi, imong.mama! As you like to dance, you can dance my choreographies of joyful and lively Brazilian songs. All my choreographies have their own step-by-step tutorial so you can learn them. Welcome and enjoy the samba! 🥳🥳 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
6:24 we love a humble king lol
Edit: But for real, this is a wonderful video. Nice it was released in January when everyone wants to try something new, but may not even know what they want to pursue.
I genuinely love how every modern dance pays homage to it's origins and community. I started breaking a few years ago from an old teacher who was around for the birth of it. I found it so interesting in how it was so young yet had such a rich history and how many legendary bboys and bgirls are passing on their knowledge to a new generation.
As an Indian despite being a street dancer my first attention went to bhangra, very proud!❤
I loved that section so much, after watching this video I went to look up specifically bhangra dance videos and ended up watching a lot! the dance has so much personality and life
@@laneybobaney7415 hahaa I'm soo glad! Feeling proud to belong in the place where this dance originated from!
That section on breakdancing was top notch.
Love my black people man 🤍 pioneers always ✊🏾
As a Jamaican, I am so happy that they included Dancehall!!🎉🎉🎉🪩🪩
Hi, Heaza! As you like to dance, you can dance my choreographies of joyful and lively Brazilian songs. All my choreographies have their own step-by-step tutorial so you can learn them. Welcome and enjoy the samba! 🥳🥳 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
@@BailandoConChristian Thank you for the invite.
I'm watching for the first time and still at the breaking part, but it's so cool to see how each dance has its _science_ and intricacies. So sick.
Love the mix of history and techniques for so many styles! Great video. Thanks especially for including South Asian dance ❤
Hi, Elinnea! As you like to dance, you can dance my choreographies of joyful and lively Brazilian songs. All my choreographies have their own step-by-step tutorial so you can learn them. Welcome and enjoy the samba! 🥳🥳 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
This is the video we ALL needed! Thank you STEEZY 🙏
...but didin't know we did.
24:33 LETS GO WAACKING!!! 🔥🔥I'm so happy I discovered this genre of dance, it is so expressive and musical ❤
I love it that I'm an old lady Drag Race fan and I know about and already admire these cultural dances ❤ Watching ballroom will cure depression too!
My fav styles are waveing, lifefeet, shuffle! I love that the dancers told the history of the styles with great passion
gravity is such a charismatic dancer!
This is probably the BEST educational dance video I have ever seen. The breakdowns, explanations, historical context AND the animators did PHENOMENAL with the transitions, graphics and videos. Amazing job for everyone involved!
This is one best and most important dance videos I’ve ever seen! 🔥 Thank you! 🙏🏼
Wait WHAT, YA'LL COVERED SHUFFLING??????? AYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kinda sad that you weren't the one representing it
shuffling doesn't deserve to be in the video dude, relax
*WHO ON EARTH DANCES SHUFFLE WHEN THERE IS BBOYING AND HIP-HOP?*
@@benybanbros1436 Anybody who listens to Electronic music, which is at least twice the size of Hip Hop.
So the real question is who the hell dances to Hip Hop, when you can dance shuffle (which also looks cooler and is more fun)?
@@theBeT95Sir just because you can do a freeze doesn’t make you the gatekeeper of dance
As a shuffler I do have to add one major thing that was overlooked. T-step. I'm not gonna be a gatekeeper like the old shufflers were saying that "its not true shuffling unless there's t-step" but its equally criminal to only include running man as the main step and completely overlook the t-step given how fundamental it is/was to the origin of the style.
Thank you for this!!
Don Campbell’s son at the end there! Way to bury the lede! As an ageing breaker, always love hearing about dance history, great vid me and my kids enjoyed 🕺
I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH! I've been waacking for 20 years! Trained with Lollipop and other old school pioneers! Fred Mayor did a beautiful job introducing my beloved style.
I am so amazed at the seemingly innate connection with music we all have. These were all great. Special shoutout to the robot gal: the first couple moves looked good but were slow and I was thinking 'okay, yea, definitely robot, not bad', but then she kicked into gear in the second half. Amazing.
Thanks for all of this.
I'm glad that STEEZํ thought of international audiences and created subtitles for us to understand the content in our languages. I'm Thai and love dancing. In my opinion, it will be great if you review and edit the subtitles because it is quite confusing. for example, in Thai, we don't call "Shuffling" as "สับไพ่". We normally call it 'shuffle/ชัฟเฟิล'. Your subtitles are not consistent as well. This is really good content and it can be better
I know I'll LOVE vogue and whacking/whacking before they dance 😍😍😍
now this is such an amazing video!!!! a couple years ago I started to really get interested in dancing, and have since been learning about more and more styles and all the history behind them, however i gotta say it's kinda hard to find enough resources that explain all that, and then out of the blue you post this and I couldn't be more grateful !! i just hope you're gonna be making more and more of these !
Btw another suggestion, it would be awesome if you made videos taking us through the process of making a choreography for a group of dancers not just one, it seems so hard to me to create such performance and i would love to have an insight into how choreographers manage to do it so beautifully !
Bhangra is very popular and enjoyable dance in India🇮🇳
We enjoy Bhangra in weddings🤩🤩 whether know it well or not😄😄
Thank you so so SO much for compiling and making these! Now i can distinct each dance style more from one another, find which one i gravitate towards more and learn some history along the way!
Especially giving each style's some basic moves WITH names
I start ballroom last year and have been loving it but these past few months I'm been looking into breaking and been meeting people. I'm loving all the new stuff I'm learning about, so many ideas and avenues of creativity
AH love you so much Steezy❤️ what a fantastic video concept- and so well put together! Y’all always share top tier knowledge and are making the dance world a better place fr
Loved this video. You guys should do something like this but for each genre that delves more into the history. There are some dance genres I didn’t even know existed, so making history videos on them would bring a lot of exposure to a general audience who might not be able to differentiate genres
Absolutely beautiful to see many different styles side by side, please do more of these!
This video was sooo cool and informative. I really appreciated the diversity in teachers and dance styles too. I’m not even a dancer, but I love learning more about all kinds of performing arts. So good!
Hi, Leelandluver! As you like to dance, you can dance my choreographies of joyful and lively Brazilian songs. All my choreographies have their own step-by-step tutorial so you can learn them. Welcome and enjoy the samba! 🥳🥳 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
KRUMP needs more love!!!
Always loved dancing, and went to a hip-hop studio for a few years when I was younger, but this vid has kind of reignited that love for dance again. I've honestly forgotten the passion and joy that I get from dancing. Glad t have a sense of that again with this Vide
It's amazing how much control these people have over each of their muscles and bones. I love the way they can isolate them and move them independently of each other.
that was incredibly educational and digestable information. I love Steezy studios, yall pioneering education and accessibility to it for new generations!
This was so informative and entertaining! I absolutely love it! As a dancer, it amazes me how many dance styles there are and how enterwined several dance styles are. It was so great hearing about the history of each style shown too. I hope you make more like this. This was incredible 👑
My main style right now is Waacking and I really really love waacking as a whole. I'm currently exposed and training to other dance styles such as afro and dancehall because of my current crew. Dancing these 3 dance styles for me has this amazing feeling of freedom and comfort. Dance styles like these made me respect and appreciate all kinds of dancing even when I'm not practicing them because every dances has a history and origin that should be recognized and respected. This video is one step for educating new dancers about the various dance styles. Thank you so much for this amazing video Steezy !
Hi, Reign! As you like to dance, you can dance my choreographies of joyful and lively Brazilian songs. All my choreographies have their own step-by-step tutorial so you can learn them. Welcome and enjoy the samba! 🥳🥳 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Such an incredible video ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks Steezy !
Wow! Never knew Bhangra was in steezy store. It's one of the best dance styles in india ❤😊
Wow! Soo powerful and lovely dance vibes! Can’t wait to do all these styles! Thank you all for such a wonderful motivation ❤
Hi, Alisa! As you like to dance, you can dance my choreographies of joyful and lively Brazilian songs. All my choreographies have their own step-by-step tutorial so you can learn them. Welcome and enjoy the samba! 🥳🥳 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
gimmi more of this!!
Dancing is such a diverse language. Each direction has its own spotlight.
This is so interesting, I’ve been a dancer for almost 15 years and there’s a lot I don’t know. It was nice learning about other styles too!
so sad house isn't here, the variety is crazy tho good job
I hope you all do more of these for other dance styles! This was so well done!
Fantastic video, love the historical context for each style. Would love to see a part 2!
Also -- afro category/program when?? I NEED IT IN MY LIFE 🙏
I've watched an amapiano DJ set once, and the audience danced in a very unique style. I was fascinated by it but I didn't know it was one of the Afro dance styles. I want to learn it!
This video was so well made! I loved the clear explanations and demonstrations from the instructors.
You weren’t awkward at all. You did a great job with your segment
I LOVE this, the way they all talked about the origins and the history behind each style makes me so happy! Beginner dancers need to understand that is not all just about the movement but the knowledge and understanding of where the style came from to be an amazing dancer❤️
Hola, Mariana! Ya que te gusta bailar, podés bailar mis coreografías de canciones brasileñas alegres y movidas. Todas mis coreografías tienen su propio tutorial paso a paso para que podás aprenderlas. ¡Bienvenida y a darle a la samba! 🥳🥳 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
THE ROBOT GIRL MASTERED FACIAL EXPRESSION FREEZING
Honestly I’m new to dancing and just started on the intro to dance program.. I found this video to learn more about each of the different styles of dancing.. but being born and raised in Melbourne.. I didn’t know that shuffling originated in Melbourne I cannot wait to start learning more about dancing in general.. wish me luck! 🔥
Whatever you guys were thinking you’ve nailed it. Thanks a lot.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this content! literally a treasure for me
so much helpful new info
I enjoyed this so much. I love dance and how it’s the one of the things that people all around the world do.
YESSS culture and history is what makes street dance, thank you so much for this video!
I love this!! Please do a part two ☺
god i love everyones energy here!!! everyones so passionate its great
ヴォーグとワックは私がダンスにのめり込む理由になったジャンルなので思い出深いです！✨
Pretty fascinating...Everything has its own history, and it's dope. 👌🏾
The robot one was really cool and a little uncanny because of how good they were
thanks for showing so many different way to express, move and have fun
I remember watching Jaja (robot) on So You Think You Can Dance with my mom. She’s an amazing dancer and does it sooo wellll ughhh loveee
Thank you STEEZY for putting all together ❤
Omg Jaja's isolations in the robot style is crazy. It's so uncanny and almost inhuman
Afro and Dancehall combined ❤️
LOVING THIS!! ORIGIN STORIES SERIES!. Shoutout to STEEZY for keeping them new dancers ✨educated ✨
❤️☺️
These were so interesting to learn the history, heart and energy of these dance styles! it really strengthens the strong notion of us all as one nation of people - who inexplicably MUST express ourselves through motion!
i was feeling and rhinking a LOT from these amszing segments but i really found myself SMILING fastest at Bhangra - the pure PLAY got straight to me!
Wow...thank you for the fine, comprehensive summary - with dance movements you show, as well. Appreciate you
Thank you so much for such amazing educational content
I love how ur style of dance can define the way u sit or talk
I was expecting Jaja to teach krump, but her robot really showcases her amazing limb control 6:40
Ayer ví el video de "Cómo comenzar a bailar?" Y hoy me aparece este. Es el destino💫
Looooooved this. Thank you!!❤
I'm brand new to dancing (started like three weeks ago) and i really want to discover many different styles. Thanks so much for this!
would love to see a follow up on partner dances! love getting to see the breakdowns and historical context for these dances!
I hope back to the basics becomes a series. ❤️❤️❤️
this is so helpful, now i know what i want to try, not just to „learn dancing“. thank you very much!
Ooh I wasn't very interested in dancing that much (only doing it for fun) but now I actually might learn it for reals! Locking and watching seem so fun ❤
Thank you for the knowledge❤❤❤
This was so informative and entertaining! I absolutely love it! As a dancer, it amazes me how many dance styles there are and how enterwined several dance styles are. It was so great hearing about the history of each style shown too. I hope you make more like this. This was incredible
Um canal perfeito para quem gosta de dança 🇧🇷
