It's always the most insanely talented professionals that could watch something like this and be so critical. You did absolutely amazing in that video and I loved every second of it.

[@tomb411]

Oh wow, I love this format and seeing you analyze the dance bit-by-bit. You could do a reaction series to popular dance videos!

[@GalenHooks]

I'd love to do more videos! Stay tuned ❤

[@janicetripp264]

Galen you are absolutely one of my favorite choreographers I love your passion and I could not tell that you struggled because you are so good I love your movement and you are amazing please make more videos I look forward to to your videos they make my day❤😊❤❤❤❤

[@baiapluka9737]

Just love you more and the kind eyes mantra is not opposed to being self-critical... You are a memorable dancer and a philosopher on top of all. Just thank you

[@e.graceoldstoneroses9947]

Thank you. I am fascinated by your ability to teach more than just the dancing. I am a fan. Finding you got me through an illness that temporarily robbed me of my ability to walk...and thus dance...and I got back up on my feet with your help, so to speak. You inspired me to work on getting back up and little by little I did. I watched you and your students and 'I dreamed of the days when'...and they eventually came. Two years of self rehab, but I'm back up and going, and still dancing. I'm no professional, but I didn't follow you to become a professional dancer, I followed you to inspire me to dream and then make those dreams cone true.
❤...thank you for being you, Galen.

[@gaiaoffline]

Amazing! You are amazing and a show of human resilience, mad kudos ❤❤

[@Anne-FromQc]

Galen…. Coup de cœur extraordinaire!! I did not know this song and I never realized my dream of being a dancer. I danse at home alone. I watch this on repeat and try to follow along looking crazy surely. I think your performance is extraordinary and I think you are beautiful.

[@37Amira]

I absolutely loved this routine, and Galen when you say you didn't like your face in the beginning, chile PLEASE your face was GIVING! It was like your face was saying 'Try me' lmao! But it's true we are our worst critics, but you are so humble and this routine I can watch over and over because it brings me so much joy! Thank you for posting, it lets us all know that we can laugh and be ok with ourselves as people and NOT define ourselves in how we dance.

[@AnnaLizzyRose]

You sound like I do sometimes when I'm critiquing my graphic design work. Honestly for the most part anyone who doesn't have a trained eye is probably not going to notice things we should have done differently. I really enjoyed watching the Baiana dance video, it was fun and made me smile.

[@bruna_gonca]

Hi Galen! I'm a big fan of your choreography! The song "Baianá" was a huge hit on social media here in Brazil, and your choreography was also very successful. The Brazilian audience is very affectionate and loyal to those they admire. Make more choreographies of Brazilian hits, and you'll certainly have many more viral hits with your choreography!

[@jmariehill9832]

I would have loved to be your student in my younger years. You are brilliant! ❤

[@ChudesnayaIskra]

Galen!!! This video is amazing! It made me want to dance again after 10 years break and 2 kids. Will there be an individual tutorial for Taki Taki in sale on your website?

[@GalenHooks]

Aw you should definitely get back into dancing! And yes there will be a Taki Taki tutorial coming this summer 🎉 Stay tuned!

[@carloscesardearaujo1992]

Adoro suas performances ficou muito bom

[@hunggul]

I❤ your baina powerfull dance...amazing🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@mariahmoo]

Righteous Babes!

[@driellyslv]

Come to Brazil, diva!

[@1stdaughter]

a FOUR out of 10?!
Personal perspective is fascinating.

[@Jadehawk2864]

You out a lot character into that dance girl you rocked it!❤

[@stephey808]

👀😍

[@MrsQuam]

Hmmmm… for some reason there’s no audio?

[@pixienyx]

Def not a 4 out of 10! To me you nailed it. It's your choreo so that connection with the movement comes through. I know you have high standards but you're still a pro.
