    I'm here to make James's catchphrase "Kinda sorta maybe". I've heard it in all 3 videos now! ❤

    James is literally the nicest person ever. He’s always smiling and he constantly encourages you to try your best, even if you aren’t the greatest dancer. ‘James Teaches...’ is practically keeping me through quarantine. 💕

    If you use zoom for future things if you go to video settings, uncheck the box that says "mirrored" and it'll have the directions be correct for us.
