  • Finding counts to choreography when you're teaching or learning choreography can be so helpful. But, it can also be really difficult to find the rhythms and the beats your dancing on. In this video I'm sharing my dance tips for finding counts in music to help make you a better dancer, teacher, and performer.

    Who Is Gaylyn Lareese?
    Hey there! My name is Gaylyn Lareese, and I am dancer living in Los Angeles. For as long as I can remember, dance has been a part of my life and has truly shaped my personality, my opinions and my life goals. I believe dancers are more than pretty performers on a stage or in a video. True dancers know that dance is how we learn and move through life. It’s the way we’ve chosen to grow to be the people we are meant to be. This is why I call us artists and movers! On my channel I make content for every aspect of dance life including dance tips, dance discussions, and dance entrepreneurship. Join me as I take my love for dance to the next level and hopefully encourage you to do the same 💙

    Idk how I missed this video but I’m absolutely mind blown!!! I’m growing in freestyling in class a little bit, but being able to break music down and find the counts like this is a game changer. Gaylyn you are a force 😱😱😱. Also, does synchopating also apply to lyrics?

    • @GaylynLareese
      @GaylynLareese  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Uhhh, it can apply to the melody the lyrics are sung in if that makes sense. And I’m glad you found it helpful! I wouldn’t have thought to make it if someone from my internet fam hadn’t requested it.

  • @TheAJaneC
    @TheAJaneC Před 7 měsíci +1

    Thank you so much for that really helpful video! How do you count in 5, 6, 7, 8 without any music playing yet? Or do you always have the music playing before you start dancing to hear the counts?

    • @GaylynLareese
      @GaylynLareese  Před 7 měsíci +1

      You always have to hear the music first to know what counts you’re dealing with☺️
