The parts where he's soloing is a style of dance called Liquid, which is a derivative of raving. It's been on the scene for years, but is slowly making it mainstream sadly. The rest of the video is actually a really interesting hybrid between liquid and hip hop, reminiscing of jerks and the robot.

Come to think of it, that little 5 person formation piece in there is probably in the top 10 liquid performances I've ever seen. Too bad it's a pretty shitty video for showing off moves.

I'm going to slow it down and recut it and then we'll see what it looks like Too bad the music is bad, the video is sweet. I don't care for Omarion I'm showing my age here :mrgreen: I'm assuming he's a teenage heartthrob, from all the press he's been getting lately.

But I'll keep an eye out for the video. It's getting airplay where? Or pop video stations? Click to expand Will check it out.

Welcome to Dance Forums Gerard! Also be sure to check out the sister forum that is dedicated to non-partner dancing :arrow: www. Usher Raymond IV born October 14, is an American singer, songwriter, actor, businessman, and dancer….

Usher musician. The dancers influencing his moves are great dancers, which makes it no surprise that his choreography and style are also highly regarded. There were tons of people on the stage, and I just remember losing my mind. All of these have the same advantages as Chi's video, in that they are easy to watch and re-watch the various parts in order to learn the specific steps.

Of course, you can also go for a paid online dance instructor such as Simone Maurice , a teacher who was mentored by Michael Jackson and has appeared on VH1 and Much Music. With both a newsletter and a wide variety of online videos, her dance course is more of a coherent curriculum than the random online videos.

However, if you are going to pay for dance lessons, it might be worthwhile to simply find a local hip-hop instructor and tell them that you want to learn Usher dance moves - odds are they can teach you, and they have a big advantage over videos.

A teacher can watch what you are doing and figure out how best to correct any mistakes you may be making. They can see the mistakes you make sometimes before you make them, and also will get to know your learning style and how to teach you new moves. Videos cannot do that, unfortunately, and even virtual instructors like Simone Maurice cannot really watch your moves unless you have the ability to upload videos of yourself.

Of course, the authentic way to learn Usher dance moves would be to go out to the clubs where that kind of music and movement thrives.

It may be a slower way to learn, by simply watching others and letting the music sink in, but it is a more authentic way to learn, and probably will stick with you longer and give you a deeper understanding of the way the moves and the music work together.

Even Usher is old-school in a way you might not expect. On The Celebrity Network he expressed his admiration for Gene Kelly , and recreated the entire dance sequence from Singin' in the Rain move for move, just to pay tribute to another great dancer. Like his music, Usher's dancing acknowledges and borrows from past movement styles while at the same time taking them in entirely original directions.

For example, one of his signature moves is called the Side Glide. When he was little and watching his singing favorite, Michael Jackson, on television, Chris Brown was imitating him.

It was actually through watching Michael Jackson on television that he learned how to dance in the first place. He has said he has ants in his pants and dances all the time. Write Your Answer.
