Q&A for How to Dance Freestyle

I would highly recommend learning completely different styles like Ballet, Hip-Hop, B-Boyin, Jazz, Latin, Ballroom etc. so you get the gist of the freestyle.

The best way to learn how to dance freestyle is to learn as many different styles as possible. For example, I started to learn freestyle once I added Ballroom/Latin to my repertoire of hip-hop.

Don't worry if you are rounder. You don't have to be skinny in order to be a good, flexible, and strong dancer with swag. Just practice on stretching and working out to get stronger. I encourage you to continue dancing, it is a very fun activity!

First, become comfortable with a few different styles of dance. Some good techniques to know would be locking, popping, wacking/waacking, waving, etc. Learn some fun moves. Then make yourself a playlist with some different kinds of dance music, put it on random mode, and practice in front of a mirror.
