hey youtube family! wow - what a journey its been, this is my 15th year uploading videos to youtube (since 2006 when i was 13) and its been almost 2 years since my last full concept video that wasn’t commissioned by a company! its so great to be back! some of you may wonder why i haven’t been uploading as many “concept videos” and i could bore you with all the very specific reasons that are more logistical, but the main reason is that after 15 years of uploading dance videos i honestly got sick of making projects with the same formula and watching myself search for something new to say…that being said…i took the last two years to go back to the drawing board both as a dancer, choreographer, and in particular a film-maker (with YL productions) and decided that it was time to step back in front of the camera with my original medium of art. DANCE VIDEOS. while i do enjoy every detail of producing and directing REAL MUSIC VIDEOS which was one of my biggest goals as a director, now i realize how there will never be anything to replace the freedom and excitement i feel through trying my hardest and putting my name on the line as the focal point in my own work as an artist.
•
i know times are really different now and a lot of dancers are looking for direction on what may be next for us and i don’t have any of the answers…but i do hope…that this video will inspire at least ONE CREATOR to go out there and try their absolute hardest with a group of friends to make something special they believe in. this way we can keep adding to our dance narrative and pass down the story telling style we can bring to life through DANCE!
•
big shout out to my DP GERALD for always holding me down and bringing my insane visions to life through relentless details. big shout out to ROMEO and BRANDON for spending every day of the last 6 days with me over 12 hrs a day to fine tune every nook and cranny of this video, i quite literally could NEVER have done this without you guys. big shout out to my lady, leslie, because i can’t wait till she gets home and i made this video thinking about her and missing her while she is working in europe! and the BIGGEST SHOUT OUT to STEEZY STUDIO for producing this video, supporting me, and more than anything TRUSTING ME!
•
MORE VIDEOS TO COME, AND MORE BIG PROJECTS WITH STEEZY AND YOUNG LIONS PRODUCTIONS ON THE HORIZON. THANK YOU GUYS FOR WATCHING, I WOULDN’T HAVE THE LIFE I HAVE WITHOUT YOU GUYS!
•
LOVE,
IAN
•
P.S. - if you read this far…i’m gunna let you in on an early secret… i will be making a 1/1 NFT from this video that will go up for auction. i’ve never sold a piece of my videos EVER. can you guess which section it might be? can’t wait to see everyone’s guesses in the comments!

if you guys don't get why ive been uploading this short and simple videos the reason is ive been teaching my classes exclusively online for the last 8 months in my own home studio that i built through quarantine.
-
i do turorials/q+a/and something special called "piece evolution" all included in the program once a month.
-
whats coolest to me about the program is that you can sign up and drop out every month because its a subscription based service. love the platform PATREON and love the interraction and close connection i get to keep with my students away from all the clutter of the rest of the internet.

Q TIPS LYRICS :
“In this American metropolis filled with MC's - A Tribe Called Quest came to drop jewels wit' ease -
Plus make you party, we do this music thing for everybody
Black, White, Latino and Asian, we cold raisin'
The stakes of hip-hop to a new plateau
To bridge gaps in generations for future plantations -
A god-fearin' folk cos we all from the yolk
Of one breed, one seed, to good goals we proceed
Nowadays I strive to be a very good influence
Even though not too long ago I was a truant
Now I'm droppin' it on this and many broad topics
From man's obsession with money to holy prophets
Like Mohammed, yo, you know the scene is so freaky
Enemies they denounce me and my own try to sweep me
Now I got hip-hop acts posin' like fat cats
Lex and a Rolex, Moet and a top hat
But what about your contract, slick? Is you proper?
It's time we turned the tables of this hip-hop fable
I be strivin yo', tryna bang these joints out my skillet
And fulfil it, think about these kids, we can't kill it
•
We feelin' pressures in here
You know we feelin' pressures
Feelin' pressures in here
You know we feelin' pressures
We gotta stand clear
Jus' gotta stand clear
Gotta gotta stand clear of the pressure
The what?”

had a super incredible journey to get 27 so lucky to have been doing what i absolutely love professionally since i was 15 years old (that 12 years now). i’ve evolved as a man and artist several times over, and i’m incredibly honored to still be relevant in a community i’ve completely dedicated my life to. i also have to add, that im patrticluarly able to be so appreciative at this time because i’ve been lucky enough to have such a positive support system, an incredible collection of family, friends, love, and students that understand me as person as well as motivate me to be my best me. thanks for all the bday wishes in advance, i worked incredibly hard the last month to put together this comprehensive 3 tiered educational program for my students across the globe, TIER 2 and TIER 3 are already sold out but there is no cap on tier 1. please enjoy the program - my gift to you, and the best gift you can give to me is joining me on this journey! see you guys on the feed.
special shout out to my brother @kingofspank, the artist of the song, OG litefeet dancer, stylist to the starts, as well as one of my best friends in the world, we are long lost brothers from another lifetime that have finally reunited to PREMIERE HIS NEW TRACK. some people have to sell themselves and some just really do it. all the moments in this choreography that are inspired by real facetime calls and real hours walking the streets of new york together can’t be duplicated - all of the choreography is inspired by moments we’ve had laughing and dancing in real life. so glad for people to finally hear this record bro!

SPENT THE LAST MONTH IN LA BUILDING A STUDIO IN MY GARAGE AND CREATING THIS 3 TIERED EDUCATIONAL DANCE PROGRAM TO MEET THE NEEDS OF MY STUDENTS WORLDWIDE.
•
should have taken the time to do this years ago! the most exciting part about all this to me is, for the last decade people have had to travel thousands of miles and spend hundreds of dollars just to get to a place that i’m teaching 1 class, if it’s too crowded, i might not even get to say hi to them individually. i might not even get back there for another year...or maybe never, but because this is a subscription model, you’re not just getting a one time deal...your also guaranteeing yourself a workshop with me every single month. that a minimum of 12 MASTERCLASSES PER YEAR... even the students i have mentored for the last 6-8 years have never gotten the opportunity to guarantee that much training with me.
•
i cant wait to kick this off with my first batch of students. message me if you have any questions... now that i won’t be teaching anywhere for what looks to be the next 4-6 months minimum, this platform will be EXCLUSIVELY where i teach for the foreseeable future. can’t wait to try something new with everyone and help my students grow!

SEE YOU IN VIRTUAL CLASS!

this is a super important clip to me. i had been listening to this song all summer. i go through phases where i listen very closely to 5-8 songs for certain periods of time, sometimes its all new music, sometimes its all old but last summer i was listening to a big range of music and this one seemed to be the one i always played first. when i first heard this song i always thought it was a super ‘on the nose’ representation of what love is. because the lyrics are very loving and adoring…but the more i listened - i discovered a lot of range in emotion in sade’s voice. it was much deeper than i love you, you love me. there was conflict, resentment, anger, sadness, frustration, hopelessness, acceptance, and in the end hope again. the full scope of love. i listened to this all summer and wanted to do a great piece to it. but i trained & enjoyed myself so long in new york i never had time to choreograph this solo before i could perform it. my passport was denied because it was going to expire so i had to come to fairplay the exact day of the showcase. i felt underprepared until i realized the best thing i could do to represent myself was dance to something i know and pour my heart out.
thanks for watching.
