Expert Answer

Remember that you’re multitasking and working different parts of your brain when dancing and singing. If you don’t know how to do so, the last thing you want to happen is to step on someone's feet or mess up the lyrics, so keep practicing and connecting to two dots of dancing and singing.

Try to memorize the song or at least know a good amount of the lyrics before starting. The most important thing, though, is to have your basics down to the core!

Should I memorize the lyrics before dancing?

Yes, it will be more helpful that way. Make sure you know it by heart so you can focus on the dance moves, and you will be more confident.

Question

How do I practice keeping my back straight?

Community Answer

Something I find effective is pretending that there is a string attached to your head and somebody taller than you is pulling that string upwards. It makes it a lot easier to remember to keep your back straight.

Question

How do I sing and dance at the same time without losing breath?

Community Answer

You really can't do this. Both require a lot of energy, therefore, a lot of oxygen. Practice slowly and smoothly, releasing your breath as you sing each verse. Do this while dancing to build up stamina so you can do both longer.

Question

Can I hold a microphone and do breakdance at the same time?

Community Answer

In some cases, yes. If your dancing doesn't involve too much arm movement, it may be possible to hold a microphone at the same time. However, using a body mic is easier and less of a hassle to use while dancing.
