New 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?!
