CHAINED TO THE RHYTHM || The Galen Hooks Method ON SET Intensive Galen Hooks 2017-04-04 | CHAINED TO THE RHYTHMThe Galen Hooks Method"ON SET" Intensive......Choreography: Galen HooksIntensive Assistant: Amanda BalenThis is a mock rehearsal that I shot at one my intensives, called “ON SET”.The "ON SET" Intensive is part of THE GALEN HOOKS METHOD, where I share my approach to the art form and business of dance.http://www.galenhooks.com/trainI have intensives that work on artistry and auditioning, and as my students started booking jobs, they told me they needed guidance on what to do once they booked the job.Industry dancing uses a much different skill set than dancing in class or in pieces you shoot for fun, and this intensive is where you can learn those skills, including production aspects like paperwork and contracts.Nothing like this existed when I was pursuing a dance career, and nothing else like it exists today where you’re getting practical, industry-specific tools from someone who worked consistently as a dancer for over 20 years. If you want to know more about all of this and the piece you just watched, click here:youtu.be/IGf99V2zfVs.....Want to take the ON SET intensive?http://www.galenhooks.com/on-setInterested in ARTIST DEVELOPMENT or AUDITIONING?:http://www.galenhooks.com/train........GALEN HOOKS is an industry veteran who has worked with over 60 artists including Justin Bieber, Usher, Rihanna, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Ciara, Ne-Yo, John Legend, Grimes, Banks, and more.TV and Film credits include La La Land, GI Joe 3, 17 again, The Voice (Assoc Creative Producer), America's Got Talent (Assoc Consulting Producer), X-Factor (Supervising Choreographer), So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing with the Stars, Glee, The Grammys, Oscars, American Music Awards, and more.SUBSCRIBE to see what she cooks up in between industry work!...@galenhooks on Instagramhttp://instagram.com/galenhooksTweet me @galenhookshttp://twitter.com/galenhooksLike me on Facebookhttp://facebook.com/galenhooksMerch:http://www.galenhooks.com/shopAll things Galen:http://www.galenhooks.com...

SWEET DREAMS Eurythmics Choreography by Galen Hooks Galen Hooks 2022-10-21 | #sweetdreams #eurythmics #choreographySubscribe to Galen:http://www.youtube.com/galenhooksWANT TO LEARN THIS ROUTINE?Click here for a digital livestream class and tutorial available Oct 22- Nov 5, 2022!galenhooks.com/ghm-digitalGoing back to my roots with an Advanced Jazz routine! This routine is SO difficult. Especially for me at 36 years old, no longer dancing every day like I did when I was 18, and having the most sedentary year of my entire life this year.I had to do intense conditioning for 3 weeks to be able to dance it, and it was in the middle of teaching a brand new intensive, choreographing a TV show and choreographing a musical, so there was a LOT going on and I must say, I'm quite proud of myself for a solid, one-take pass at it!!It feels so nostalgic to dance jazz.Dance is usually very emotional for me, but jazz choreography of this specific nature (there are many types of jazz) is more mathematical/like doing an ice skating short program!If you want to learn more about jazz dance, there are documentaries on YouTube you can watch for the real history!Choreo by Galen Hooks🎵 @eurythmics🎥 Filmed by Donovan#thegalenhooksmethod #jazzdance #jazzchoreography #galenhooks #ghmclassic #ghmlite #ghmpro #danceintensives #beginnerdanceclass #advanceddanceclass #professionaldancers #danceclasses #danceteacher #newyorkdanceclass #actingclass #newyorkdancers____All things Galen:http://www.galenhooks.comFollow Galen on… http://www.instagram.com/galenhookstiktok.com/@galenhookshttps://www.facebook.com/Galen-Hooks-..........................."THE GALEN HOOKS METHOD".

HOLD ON Adele Choreography | Dance like the Joker Galen Hooks 2022-10-03 | #adele #holdon #choreographySubscribe to Galen:http://www.youtube.com/galenhooks🤡 🤡 Immediately before @dyldancesingact96 performed this piece, I asked Dylan to do the routine like THE JOKER. 🤡 🤡The routine is typically very somber, emotional, etc like the song. To do it like the Joker & go against the song is a challenge!KILLED it- our jaws were all on the floor.So. Good.I've only taught this routine once before in LA. To see how different this is from the original routine, you can find mine & Sean Lew's versions on my IG!Show some love in the comments!!Choreo by Galen Hooks🎵 @adele #holdon🎥 Filmed by GHM Alum @crickvisuals#thegalenhooksmethod #adele #adeleholdon #galenhooks #ghmclassic #ghmlite #ghmpro #danceintensives #beginnerdanceclass #advanceddanceclass #professionaldancers #danceclasses #danceteacher #newyorkdanceclass #actingclass #newyorkdancers____All things Galen:http://www.galenhooks.comFollow Galen on… http://www.instagram.com/galenhookstiktok.com/@galenhookshttps://www.facebook.com/Galen-Hooks-..........................."THE GALEN HOOKS METHOD".

Ariana Grande POSITIONS Choreography | Galen Hooks GHM PRO Galen Hooks 2022-06-06 | #ArianaGrande #Positions #ChoreographySubscribe to Galen:http://www.youtube.com/galenhooksGHM PRO is high-stakes training for industry dancers. It is the most advanced intensive in THE GALEN HOOKS METHOD 2-Day intensive offerings. Dancers must submit to be accepted into the program.This video is a mock rehearsal for Ariana Grande.The students learned the piece in 4 hours total.(This piece is only one portion of the intense layout of the GHM PRO 2-Day training.)Changes were made dozens of times to intentionally throw off the students the way they would be on a real job.These constant obstacles are used as a teaching tool in order for the dancers to develop and apply skills specific to industry dancing.The GHM Pro session teaches everything from ‘How to work with an artist’ to ‘How to work with the camera’, the really specific nuanced things you don’t learn until you are on the job (and sometimes, you don’t even learn it there).This intensive gives dancers the tools and experience they need in order to avoid making those mistakes on an actual job.This was the first GHM PRO session in Atlanta ever!-----------The Galen Hooks Method tickets (there are sessions for all levels, BEGINNER to PRO):http://www.galenhooks.com/train-----------Choreography: Galen HooksSong: “Positions" Ariana Grande🎥 GHM Alum: Elsa StallingsDancers:@anya_panova@Katya_ageenk0@zules5@islacalvin@caroline.swiger@kalynhardman32@GiannaMyriejordan………………...All things Galen:http://www.galenhooks.comFollow Galen on… http://www.instagram.com/galenhookstiktok.com/@galenhookshttps://www.facebook.com/Galen-Hooks-..........................."THE GALEN HOOKS METHOD".

This event rewards creativity, whether you’ve been dancing for 10 years or 10 months, by judging based on interpretation of a prompt.The dancer spins a wheel and is given a song at random, then spins a second wheel for a prompt at random. The dancer has to interpret the prompt to the song, dancing unrehearsed.“Freestyle Roulette” is an exercise used in the @thegalenhooksmethod intensives to train dancers in committing to artistic choices. At times it is used for practical training, for example to prepare dancers for industry auditions or shoots where they are asked to do often awkward things that they have to commit to and deliver confidently.Following the GHM sessions, students would often rent studio space to continue practicing alone or with small groups of friends. This event expands it to the greater dance community with curated judges who are not only at the top of their fields, but whom dancers rarely have the opportunity to be seen by. The judges are reciprocally exposed to talent they would rarely have the opportunity to see.And lastly, this event allows us to discover new music and artists, often with the entire audience and the dancer hearing the song for the first time.In order to make room for all dance styles, 3 categories were offered: THE FEELS (slow, moody songs), THE HEELS (sensual songs danced in a heel), and THE THRILLS (upbeat, hype songs).Any dancer could enter any category and do any dance style they wanted to within that category.Participants flew from around the world to attend.

I'm teaching a LIVESTREAM DIGITAL CLASS:March 5th with a replay for 48 hours until March 7th.TICKETS: galenhooks.com/ghm-digital__________It's been 5 years since "Love on the Brain" was uploaded to YouTube. (It's crazy that 2 of those 5 years were the pandemic!)I retaught the routine 5 years later to bring it full circle. This is my solo done alone in the studio so I could be maskless during this pandemic!🗣 What differences do you see from 2017 vs 2022?For me, I feel much more settled now in 2022, but much less strong physically. This routine is INCREDIBLY hard on the stamina if you haven't been dancing consistently (which I have not!).There are pros and cons to aging as a dancer, but one thing I really push in The Galen Hooks Method intensives is to treat your body as your material. It is your clay, your paint, and it is so unique that a dancer's material changes as they age (unlike clay or paint).And so, I'm totally fine with what my material can do at this point in my life!

Olivia Rodrigo DRIVERS LICENSE Choreography | Galen Hooks GHM PRO Galen Hooks 2021-08-11 | #OliviaRodrigo #DriversLicense #ChoreographySubscribe to Galen:http://www.youtube.com/galenhooksGHM PRO is high-stakes training for industry dancers. It is the most advanced intensive in THE GALEN HOOKS METHOD 2-Day intensive offerings. Dancers must submit to be accepted into the program.This video is a mock rehearsal for Olivia Rodrigo.The full piece was choreographed on the fly, completely unprepared, with changes made dozens of times to intentionally throw off the students the way they would be on a real job.These constant obstacles are used as a teaching tool in order for the dancers to develop and apply skills specific to industry dancing. We rehearsed for 4 hours total over two days, and this was only one portion of the intense layout of the GHM PRO 2-Day training.The GHM Pro session teaches everything from ‘How to work with an artist’ to ‘How to work with the camera’, the really specific nuanced things you don’t learn until you are on the job (and sometimes, you don’t even learn it there).This intensive gives dancers the tools and experience they need in order to avoid making those mistakes on an actual job.This was the first GHM PRO session in a year and a half, due to the pandemic, and the students did an incredible job!On a purely choreographic note, completely separate from the dancers' abilities, the choreography you see here was set for training purposes only. If I were choreographing for a real performance, many elements would be different, changed, and improved.-----------The Galen Hooks Method tickets (there are sessions for all levels, BEGINNER to PRO):http://www.galenhooks.com/train-----------Choreography: Galen HooksSong: “Drivers License" Olivia RodrigoFirst chorus choreography by GHM Alum Macy SwaimFilmed by GHM Alum: Hannah PinkDancers:@adriano.alamo@alexyonk@catherineliepins@dardarnguyen@drewgliwa@oyibabyyy@jamieskye__@Okcajina@LiiLJohnJohn@mai.lania@nfrgmx@sabrinaleegoodson@__saravictoria@sheasaulino@unissa.cruse@nancyriveragz………………...All things Galen:http://www.galenhooks.comFollow Galen on… http://www.instagram.com/galenhookstiktok.com/@galenhookshttps://www.facebook.com/Galen-Hooks-..........................."THE GALEN HOOKS METHOD".

RIHANNA STAY | GALEN HOOKS CHOREOGRAPHY Galen Hooks 2021-02-11 | #rihanna #galenhooks #choreographyActing-based lip sync routine. Learn this on Saturday as part of a Valentine's Day-Themed "NIGHT OF DANCE"! Schedule and tickets below.I filmed 4 love-themed prompts back to back (this is just 1, & they're not all sad!) and WOW was it tough to get through.A challenging emotional rollercoaster, in the best way possible.This time I showed in real-time the prompt being read and the song starting with no cuts so you get a sense of the amount of time I have to prepare before performing.I don't know what the prompt is going to be and I don't prep what I'm going to do beforehand.Teaching these very specific skills is always a joy and so valuable for any artists, not least of which dancers, to develop. Can't wait for class on Saturday!(Prompts were read by my husband, who was the only person in the room. I'm still not gathering with people.)Thank you to everyone who submitted prompts in my IG Story!________🗓 SATURDAY, Feb 13th:Valentine’s Day-themed “Night of Dance”48-hr replay1️⃣ 10-11:15 am PST: "EARNED IT"New heels-optional routine.2️⃣ 11:30-12:45pm PST: "STAY"“How To Use Your Face: Acting-Based Lip Sync”3️⃣ 1-2:15pm "Love-Themed Speakeasy"Playlist will be love-themed music!$17.00 USD per classDigital eventCan’t make it on the 13th? 48 hour replay available.TICKETS: HTTP://www.galenhooks.com/ghm-digital_______🔹As always, Covid-friendly routine that you can do at home w/ limited space.🔹With all of the movie musicals being made- wanted to give you something to practice again.🔹Used a song you're all familiar with to make the lipsyncing easier!🔹Great for actors, artists of any type.🔹We'll use this routine in the context of "How To Use Your Face".______🎥 Me🎵 Rihanna Mikky Ekko "Stay"___"THE GALEN HOOKS METHOD".

MOCK AWARDS SHOW PERFORMANCES: THE GHMAs Galen Hooks 2020-08-29 | The GHMAs are a mock version of the VMAs put on by alumni of THE GALEN HOOKS METHOD!This brand new project was conceived in the spirit of mentoring aspiring Creative Directors and providing a fulfilling project for alumni to take part in while the industry gets back on its feet.GHM Alumni chose from a list of songs that are nominated for the 2020 VMA’s and submitted creative treatments for those performances as if they are Creative Directors.8 finalists pitched their treatments via IG Live and the public voted on the top 3 they wanted to see be brought to life! The 3 treatments that were chosen were from the following Creatives: Jamila Glass (Los Angeles), Lucie Camelo (London) and Romonica Stephens (Los Angeles).The Creatives then enlisted GHM Alumni to be cast and crew and had 4-6 days to execute their visions with mentorship from Galen Hooks and Amanda Balen!We are so proud to have had our first 3 winners be women of color.

Learning Choreo in under 15 min- Shay Vex Oh Galen Hooks 2020-08-13 | #galenhooks #dancechallenge #choreographyNew personal challenge- learn choreography in under 15 minutes.I've been teaching "HOW TO RETAIN CHOREOGRAPHY" classes and decided to challenge myself!I asked for suggestions from you of routines to learn. This is the first time I documented the with a timer in the background so you could see!⏱️ 10min 40 secs.1 of the suggestions for routines was @shaylatukolan "Vex Oh".I looooooove Shay- we worked on a couple of seasons of a TV show together in Amsterdam & I just love him (& @kenzoalvares!).So I immediately chose this!I hadn't seen the routine before, so the 10 minutes started from scratch.And I'm mentioning how long it took to learn the routine because when people ask❓"How do I improve my choreo pickup?" or❓"What do you suggest if I don't have classes available in my area?" or❓"How else can I get cleaner?"one tip I give is "LEARN OFF OF A YOUTUBE VIDEO & GIVE YOURSELF A TIMER." It's free & you can live anywhere in the world. You have no excuse!For getting cleaner, I say once you've learned the routine, "PUT A VIDEO OF YOU NEXT TO THE CHOREOGRAPHER & SEE IF YOU MATCH." Clean yourself.So I put the side-by-side here cause it's one thing to learn a routine fast and it's another to learn it AND be clean! ✨Especially for a combo like this one that is so vibe-heavy.Comment below- what other routines should I learn?!🙋🏽♀️Do you have trouble picking up choreography? I have 8 hours of lectures on "HOW TO RETAIN CHOREOGRAPHY" available here:crowdcast.io/galenhooksEnjoy!...."GHM DIGITAL": INTERACTIVE LIVESTREAM CLASSES:http://www.galenhooks.com/ghm-digital"THE GALEN HOOKS METHOD".

Get tix here:thegalenhooksmethod.ticketspice.com/nod-la-feb-14-2020🎭This is another "acting-based" dance class like "i love you", which I'm still seeing all your messages about! If you haven't seen "i love you", click here: youtube.com/watch?v=PturM3jNZoQThe theme of this class was marrying acting with dancing, and specifically working on the skill of performing for a camera with choreographed camera movement.🎥This is a very specialized skill that is not only difficult to execute, but difficult to train because it requires being on a set for a project where these skills are required of you. It is rare for dancers to be hired for jobs where they get to perform solo and interact with a camera, so this class was a way of creating the opportunity for them.Want to take class with me?2020 cities includeLA | NY | CHICAGO | BERLIN | LONDON | ATLANTAhttp://www.galenhooks.com/nightofdanceHope to see you in class!Galen.......Choreography: Galen Hookshttp://www.instagram.com/galenhooksSong: Best PartDaniel Caesar and H.E.R.Filmed by Donovan/Rudeboy Entertainment ..........."THE GALEN HOOKS METHOD".

Galen Hooks Presents NEW YORK FREESTYLE ROULETTE: LIVE EVENT | The Finals Galen Hooks 2019-10-15 | #freestyle #dance #galenhooksSubscribe to Galen:http://www.youtube.com/galenhooks.........The Finals- select performances.This video features the winners of "THE FEELS", "THE HEELS" and "THE THRILLS".Dancers in order of appearance:@jan.gold@chrisnshep (Congratulations to our winner!!!)@ironbry.........Here's an explanation of the event! instagram.com/tv/Bzv-g1HFK7w/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkAnd a recap of the event:youtu.be/fC9Zq6dxppE........“Freestyle Roulette: Live Event” is a dance event created so that any dancer of any style can showcase their abilities in a high stakes, supportive environment. This event rewards creativity, whether you’ve been dancing for 10 years or 10 months, by judging not based on dance skill but rather based on interpretation of a prompt.The dancer spins a wheel and is given a song at random, then spins a second wheel for a prompt at random. The dancer has to interpret the prompt to the song, dancing unrehearsed.“Freestyle Roulette” is an exercise used in the @thegalenhooksmethod intensives to train dancers in committing to artistic choices. At times it is used for practical training, for example to prepare dancers for industry auditions or shoots where they are asked to do often awkward things that they have to commit to and deliver confidently.Following the GHM sessions, students would often rent studio space to continue practicing alone or with small groups of friends. This event expands it to the greater dance community with curated judges who are not only at the top of their fields, but whom dancers rarely have the opportunity to be seen by. The judges are reciprocally exposed to talent they would rarely have the opportunity to see.And lastly, this event allows us to discover new music and artists, often with the entire audience and the dancer hearing the song for the first time.In order to make room for all dance styles, 3 categories were offered: THE FEELS (slow, moody songs), THE HEELS (sensual songs danced in a heel), and THE THRILLS (upbeat, hype songs).Any dancer could enter any category and do any dance style they wanted to within that category.Participants flew from around the world to attend.
