- I have been dancing for about 18 years now
and I've worked with RuPaul's Drag Race's Peppermint,
I've traveled to China to work with Angela Zane,
Chris Woo, Jaxon Wang and also Zetal.
- I have been dancing since I could walk.
I've worked with Lady Gaga, Matrix Loreal,
Altered Beauty, I've danced in runway shows in Las Vegas.
- Savage challenge, Megan Stallion.
It is trending times 10, so let's see homegirl do it.
Always know if you gonna do something nasty
it's gonna be here.

- This one's cute, and you actually move
and like you groove a little bit like
it's a step in the right direction.

- She does like a hit, head, drum.
Pa-pa-pa-pa, yeah.
(upbeat music)
'Cause that's the thing about dance y'all,
is no matter what, we always growing.
And sometimes the easiest dances, are the hardest dances.
Any professional dancer can tell you that.
Thanks.
- This dance is so hype.
And there's really not too much
that I can say technically about it,
other than, there's a wave in there,
and my biggest pet peeve is when the wave is done wrong.
This is the proper way to do a wave.
Wrist, elbow, shoulder, chest,
shoulder, elbow, wrist, open.
And then you connect them.

TikTok helps you pick up choreography pretty quickly.
TikTok helps you understand rhythms,
so even just bouncing on the beat
is helping you understand timing and rhythm in music.
- Sweep the floor, sweep it again.
What did he do after that?
Kick ball change
kick, left, around, step.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Turn around.
See this one's easy, this one's not hard.

- As dancers, we are training our ears
to hear every single layer of the music
so that we can dance on the sounds in the music,
and ultimately make it look like our bodies
are creating said sounds.
(dance music)
- The thing about these dances is that
they're very, very, very, very, very literal.
So that makes it easy to remember.
Like, heart, pitter patter, girl thank you.

Tea time.
Just because we professional dancers,
doesn't mean this stuff is not challenging
I'm not going to lie to you.
Major point; when you're learning these TikTok dances,
the fastest way to learn like quick,
is to pick like a pinpoint move.
I know she's gonna go, "In, your", because I said,
"Ey that's the part!" That part stood out to me,
I just remembered it.

- Seven rings is my favorite so far,
because it is the most full out.
This dance is a work out, and to me
I think it most closely resembles
a beginners street jazz class
than any of the other dances.
Most of this dance is grooves.
Like there's so many grooves in here.
I think he hits a Pony somewhere.
I have done this step in almost every
street jazz class I have ever taken.
(dance music)
- Did I have any trouble learning any of the steps?
The answer is: yes. We are not perfect, like we
are always working on ourselves.
That is the fun thing about dance is that you
have to keep evolving, you can't be stagnant
in what you do. So it was difficult in that aspect,
but it was still fun you know?
Trying to learn new steps in one minute.
- We all move differently, we're all different people,
we're all shaped different. So understanding how
you move and feeling confident in, you know,
standing out in your own way, is a big thing.
And I think TikTok is a really great place
to figure out what makes you, you as a dancer.
- You see this BuzzFeed? You see this?
