- Hi Speed Famous, today I'm gonna be talking about
what happens at your first dance class.
Brace yourself.
First thing's first, get out of your car.
Second thing is lockin' door, you're gonna be fine.
Do you'll walk to the studio,
you're gonna open the door,
you're gonna open the door up,
and you're probably gonna have to say hi
to the receptionist, you'll walk over, be like,
"Hi, my name's Miss Auti
and I'm trying a little dance class."
And I don't know why you sound like the little shrimp
from Shark Tale, but seriously guys,
you'll walk up, you'll say hey I wanna do a trial class
for Miss Ashley's jazz, and yeah.
My name is Auti, and then she'll be like okay great.
She'll probably have you fill out some paperwork,
so be early.
You don't wanna show up if the class is at four,
show up at like 3:45, get comfortable with the space,
fill out the paperwork,
and then they'll guide you to the room.
(bubbling)
Okay, so now you're inside.
You might have a little trial slip in your hand,
and now you're in the wilderness.
You were just set free.
Now where do I go, you say?
Well, you might have a trial slip in your hand,
you might not, but first thing's first,
you have to go say hi to the teacher,
and don't be weird.
Follow me.
Hello Mr Brayden.
My name is Auti and I'm taking your class today.
- Oh, hello Auti, thank you so much
for taking my class, I hope you enjoy it.
- Okay, so now you've said hi to the teacher,
you're in the classroom, what are you gonna do?
Maybe you feel awkward 'cause you don't know anyone
in the room, potentially.
That's okay, it's good to know the structure of the class
so that you feel just a smidge more comfortable.
Chances are very high if you're taking hip hop
or jazz or lyrical or contemporary or tap,
you'll start with a little warmup.
So number one, warm up baby.
Number two, you'll probably do some
across the floor movements
which means you'll line up in the corner,
maybe with a partner, maybe not, or maybe in groups,
you'll do movements across the floor,
and then you'll line up in the other corner
to do even more movements across the floors.
The floors, the multiple floors.
Number three, you'll probably learn a combination,
just like I teach you on here, guys.
Don't be scared.
Learn choreo.
Pop over to my how to learn choreography faster vlog,
and you'll be able to pick up the movements
and most likely perform them in class in groups.
Don't be scared.
Quick side note, if you're taking ballet,
you're probably gonna start at the barre,
then you'll come back to center,
then you'll do across the floors.
What do I wear to dance class?
Okay, first of all, people, you need to be in proper
dance attire, so I know you're like,
"Miss Auti, I don't wanna commit to buying dance clothes."
'Cause you don't know what style you're doing yet.
That's okay, but first and foremost, no jeans!
No.
Okay, my rule of thumb for this you guys,
I know you don't wanna go buy all these dance clothes
and that's fine, but no matter what style you're doing,
jazz, lyrical, contemp, ballet, pointe, hop hop,
tap, did I forget anything else?
Acro, I don't know.
Just form fitting clothing in kinda neutral colors,
like this, are perfect, and if you don't wanna
buy ballet shoes yet, or tap shoes or what not,
most studios have loaner pairs that you can borrow
but that also goes in to coming early to class,
that way you can go rummage around the little bin,
find your shoes, and try the class out,
or wear neutral socks.
Form fitting baby, and you can't go wrong.
Put your hair up.
You can also use a cute scrunchie and clip.
What do I pack, Miss Auti?
Simple, friend, just your dance stuff.
You need your dance shoes,
you need a water bottle because you're most likely
gonna be getting a hydration station moment.
Ahh, and now I'm ready to dance.
And, a lucky penny.
(laughter)
Now it's the end of class.
Do I leave, do I blast off through the ceiling?
That would be pretty awesome.
Listen up guys.
You can either choose to sign up right away
by going to the front desk and say,
"Hey, I loved Miss Auti's class.
I would love to sign up."
And they'll get you going right then and there,
or you can go home, reflect on how the studio
made you feel, were you comfortable in the space,
did you like your teacher, did you like your peers?
And then make a decision.
And then, get in your car
and get the heck out of there.
I love love love that so many of you guys
are saying that you've started dancing
because of the channel.
That is like, just makes me wanna cry.
Seriously though, don't be afraid
of going to your first dance class.
There's so many tools on this channel
to get you guys ready to go to a class.
IRL, in real life, go to the studio,
I'm hoping that this vlog give you
a little bit of insight, all jokes aside, seriously,
of how mellow and easy it is
to just go take a trial class.
So get out there, let me know how it goes,
and let me know if you guys sign up for classes.
