Hi! Im Darren from NBC’s World of Dance crew the Kinjaz and I will be your online dance teacher. Not too long ago I was a shy introverted kid, who you would probably not even notice was in the room, who didnt know how to dance but flash forward to today, I am now dancing, performing, and teaching for hundreds, of thousands of people around the world. I have had the great fortune to dance, train, and perform with some amazing dance companies such as the Kinjaz, Culture Shock Los Angeles, and Kaba Modern and it is my goal to spread all of the knowledge and experience I have uncovered through my 18 years in the Hip Hop industry to new dancers searching to get started[.]New Dancer QuestionThe question I get asked the most by new dancers is how do I get better? My immediate answer is, that you need to figure out how to be comfortable dancing in front of people or you wont keep pursuing dance and therefore never get better. Every great dancer knows that to become comfortable dancing in front of people hinges on these 3 things: First is the knowledge of basic fundamental steps and how to execute them with good technique. Second is your ability to understand basic rhythm in music and how to move on beat to itAnd finally the amount of confidence you have in YOURSELF to get out there and show off what you gotSo with this in mindLogic would tell us that the greater knowledge you have of basic techniques, and the greater understanding you have of music, and the greater confidence you haveThe greater dancer you will be and therein lies the problem because most of the dance classes you have taken (or thought about taking) actually skip over this stuff making it difficult for you to build the confidence you need to become better. The All To Common Class RealityThink about itHave you ever been in a class struggling to learn a move/combination they are teaching while self consciously feeling embarrassed thinking that everyone is seeing you struggle. Maybe somehow you managed to copy a move but just cant put your finger on why you dont look the same as the instructor and when the music comes on you feel like everyone else knows some secret code to stay on beat and somehow you are left out. This is unfortunately an all to common reality for new dancers. The reason this happens is because most classes fail to break down basic movements to its simplest form in order for you to understand them. This could be becauseThe skill level of dancers is different in most classesThere are too many people in the class for the instructor to really focus on youSadly some amazing dancers just dont know how to teach which leaves you both lost and confused as to why you dont look like themYou can agree that this is not how you are going to get better. You need someone who can patiently breakdown a move to its simplest core so you can understand it no matter how long it takes. Someone who can help you understand the music and get you on beat. Someone who teaches you the basics and then gradually guides you to more advanced movements/combinations. I want to be that person for you and I have great newsI have created a course that will do all of this for you. Better yet, when you enroll in this course, I will be able to improve your dancing whenever and wherever you want online. Why Take An Online CourseNow, you might be thinking why would you take a course online to learn how to dance? Well, Im glad you asked. The reason why I created an online course is that quite frankly, you and I can agree that sometimes there are just no dance studios, classes, or instructors near you who provide the type of dance training you need to get better. Sure, you can travel far and wide to find the classes and teachers you need. They are out there, but this becomes very expensive and time-consuming. SureYou could turn to other online tutorials that you can find on YouTube. However, everyone has seen those tutorials that. Are likely in no logical order for you to progress from basic to more advance movements (Sorry, you cant run before you know how to walk)Dont break the move/combo down simply enough for you to understand itNever show you how to execute the move/combo to musicTeach the move incorrectly leading you to practice bad technique and risk getting injured (and worse waste your time)Sadly, There is no way I could physically reach everyone who needs this course in person and to be honest it would cost a HUGE amount of money to take the amount of private lessons needed with me to learn all of the advanced strategies, tips and techniques I show you in this course. That is why I have created this online course to allow people from around the world access to an experienced teacher who wants to help them every step of the way. The Benefits Of An Online CourseSo how will you learn and benefit from the course being online? I created a structured course curriculum that will guide you by the hand through basic fundamental movements in a progressive order (basic to advanced movements) just as if we were having a private, one on one lesson t
