I appreciate you saying that, cause I honestly thought i was too late so thank you so much for saying that. :)

16 year old girl aiming to become a professional dancer! Dancing is my everything and I can't pass a day without it. I'm also a big lover of choreographing so I want to pursue my dream of becoming a professional choreographer in the future as well. This year has been quite eventful for me when it comes to dance, I can't wait for what will keep awaiting me!

As a fifteen year old, I always thought that I was too late to start dancing. It took me fifteen years to decide what I wanted to do and be, and I feel like dance is one of those few things. I want to be a dancer for myself, to express myself, and to make myself more confident in the entertainment matter. I want to breathe and let go, and I want to grow more as a person. However, I’m at a loss cause, having gotten stuck on my journey. I don’t know what to do, I always feel so lazy, and I don’t know where to start and how much I can do to start making actual progress. This video, however, helps me a LOT. And I thank you.

I feel this. My parents never let me dance but I would always in my room and I’ve been naturally blessed with movement in my body I guess. Thanks to God. I struggle too because I don’t know where to start.

Why I wanna start dancing is truly because it allows to me to express how I’m truly feeling, gives me that euphoric feeling and it’s therapeutic. Going through a break up atm and my first thought was to get up and go to the dance studio and release these emotions through movement.

Literally 23 and my mindset is going through that change!!

You really answered everything i have been needing/ asking for years

I'm a 19 year old dancer from Denver and dance is all I want. I have a long way to go before I'm great but I'm willing to do all the work to get there. I'm making a big move soon to embark on the journey of building a fufiling life of creating and movement and I can't wait for you to keep posting this inspiring and helpful content. It is greatly appreciated! You are extremely talented and I can't wait to take your classes in the near future. Thank you!

Holler at me Autum with any questions you have about the Pro Dance Industry....

Three years later your video literally TOUCHED ME! I’m inching on 23 years and I’ve felt like I haven’t had a passion for anything except dancing and growing up, I was told that it wouldn’t make me money, that I’d be miserable because I was raised by survivalists who only say success if you were a doctor, nurse, a lawyer. Since leaving high school, I’ve been searching anxiously to find something for myself, something that’ll make me happy just as much as dance does. The tips in your video are so simple but so profound! I literally make the decision to go for this full on. I’m moving to Atlanta, I’m going to get more technical training, I’m going to join the dance industry and I’m going to make a career out of it!

i'm 15 and i've been dancing locally for most of my life. 2 years ago i started going competitive. dance is my passion and i really want a future with it. i feel like i need more than what im with right now. the whole "networking" talk got to me because if i do try to go somewhere with this, im going to have to make connections. i just don't exactly no where to start (especially with quarantine). i want to make something more for myself and i know i can do more and i truly want to do more, i just don't know where to begin this journey

Hey I’m currently 15 struggling with the same problem, have you perhaps found any tips for this

This is really helpful! Thank you Antoine for taking the time to do this. My name is Abby. I'm 27 years old and dance is something I always wanted to do but I never acted on it. I remember being a kid and seeing STEP UP with Channing Tatum for the first time and my jaw dropping. That movie is still my favorite movie!!! It spoke to me in ways words can't explain and left a fire burning inside me.... I'm alwaysssssssss watching choregraphy on KZread!!!! I'm freaking obsessed. I even have tons of clips saved on my phone that i watch on the train with a big ass smile on my face. I remember seeing your content about 2 years ago and falling in love with it and YOU (lol) Self-awareness is the key to life (s/o Gary Vee) and I know this something I want to put the time and effort into!!! I've reached the point where I'm ready to put in the work. I understand it will be a learning process and I'm ok with that. Idc about recording myself and putting it on instagram for attention and likes. Fuck all that, I'm doing this for myself...... ME and I understand its a MARATHON, NOT a sprint. I'm an extrovert, people person, caring, and love learning. I'm teachable and always soaking up knowledge and trying to be a better ME. After working in the music industry for a few years, I've outgrown it, that's not my passion anymore. Was depressed for the last 3 months but I'm finally in a better space mentally and ALOT happier with the woman I'm becoming!!! For the last year and a half Ive lost a ton of weight and even transitoned to a plant based diet. I've got up at 5am everyday and ran 3-4 miles 3 times a week. I went from a size L to a small and its pretty dope to see myself in my new body!! Im also proud of myself for putting in the work to be a stronger, smarter me! I still work out every day and self care is #1. Results are addiciting!!! Ive even cut off toxic friends, personal and business relationships and currently on a social media detox!!! I really connected to the part where you spoke about loving yourself and how important that is!!! That's exactly what I'm going through right now!!! I love ME more than anything. Recently got a dance mentor and I'm excited to get started with her AND put in my own work as well because like you just said this is MY life, career, and I'm the only one responsible for it. Antoine, thank you for this valuable content. Keep it coming. I love you and one day we will dance together, mark my words!!! May God continue to bless you and keep the content coming!!!! Thank you for being personable and responding to my DM and leading me here. Peace, love, and blessings 💜 -AD

Omg you are like a reflection of me! I'm 28 and have had a passion/spirit for dancing since I was a kid! I JUST finally took my first ever dance class today! My journey has been a tough one from dealing with depression of being in a small town where you either overdose on drugs or get locked up or stuck, to then experiencing an abusive marriage and ultimately divorce, to finally conquering my weight issues and landing a dream job and getting my health (mental and physical) on the right track! You are both so right about knowing who you are and loving who you are. Loving myself and having faith in me could have prevented the obstacles that I fought to finally get to this place where I was brave enough to take the first step! But I'm here now! And there's no time like the preset; it is a gift. I believe everything happens for a reason. All those experiences made me so much stronger. Proved to myself that I am a fighter and survivor. And I can accomplish any goal I set my mind to. I love hearing how you are going at it at this stage in life too! It gives me inspiration and encouragement. Today in that class my soul came alive and felt energized in a way that it hasn't for a long time. I will continue to work towards my goals and dreams and stay consistent with loving me by no longer doubting me and conquering these classes and more dance career goals. I'm so excited and thankful. Thank you all for this. ❤. Peace and blessings.

I looked this video up because I’m interested in dance 💃🏼 right, but I stayed for the talk about actually giving a shit about people, giving with no expectations and loving yourself man. Thank you 🙏

Wow. Everything you have said has really spoken to my soul. Everything you've mentioned from moving to places has all been on my mind. What I struggle with is my mental state. It's constantly arguing with me and I struggle to perform infront of others because my mind is always elsewhere. Since practicing mindfullness my performance has improved. I know I need to work on myself first before anything else. I also kept ignoring that becoming a professional dancer was impossible and I couldn't do it. But i've finally admitted to myself this is what I want to do and why I am here. So thank you for this video because like you said there isn't that much out there to help or support you. I'd like to hopefully work with you in the future. I completely agree about social media. It gives people a dopamine and is addictive. Everything you spoke about is how I feel about the world. It was like a breathe of fresh air knowing I'm not crazy and I'm not the only person that thinks like this. Again, thank you.

I learned and took pleasure from telling stories with my movements. Giving intense emotions that no words that can be written. Of course their hardship and misfortunes makes you forget what you’re focus should be. My goals will be met.

My name is Deborah I am 26 years old. And I am from Atlanta Georgia! You spin and your equilibrium off, and you stand up all you have to rely on is how well you know your body and when you place your two feet on the floor, finding your horizon within yourself dance can reveal a lot about a person. The way they move, they way learn new steps. I mean if your dancing for real it comes from the most truthful part of your soul. You never asked me why I love to dance people dance because dance can change things. One move can bring people together. One move can make you believe like there’s something more. One move can set a whole generation free. I’ve been watching step up movies I want to live in la California los Angels

Taking notes for myself : 1) set an intention. - Why do you want to be a pro dancer ? !find the self love you need before trying to become this. You'l need it lol! - what kind of jobs do you wanna do ? what kind of choreography, what kind of artists, what kind of life ? have a target. - who are the choreographers you want to work with ? Who gives you the choreos you want to do ? And train with those people, learn their thinking, who they are - where do you need to live ? where do you need to be ? Live where things are happening and your industry thrives. Consistently be around the people you need to be with - when to go in the industry ? wait till you know and love who you are, also get clear on what you want. Reprogram your mind to build up your confidence and self love, your self talk is the key !! 2) how ? Teamwork, punctuality, pr skills (relationship building), looks An agency helps you but you still have the responsibility to do the work Where to train -› with ppl who do the kind of things you wanna do Headshots -› professionnal, look at already existing headshots Resume when starting out : training infos (with who ?) Look the part for the job you wanna be, look like you already belong, take your look very seriously Work on relationship building outside the industry, care about others and get out of your own head , be empathetic and really CARE, love other people , relationship building will make or break career. People will sense when they're just a stepping stone. Think about this from real relationships and after career point of view too. Decisions should be guided by empathy and compassion. (See other specific videos on agent and resume) Use affirmations Book rec : rich dad poor dad 1% of your life is on social media. Make the other 99% incredible. Radiate love if that's What you want from other people. Make your reality look better than Instagram Study success/successful people and they all say the same things, they talk about the same habits etc. : success leaves clues. Take advantage of the power of your mind. Note from myself : Be yourself, wholly and unapologetically. What I mean by that is you are the only person that can be you, so you can bring things to the table that no one else can. Take advantage of that. Don't feel jealousy towards other but be inspired. Be in a mindset of abondance, and what I mean by that is other people's good things don't take away from yours. Don't compare yourself to others to then let it tame and sway you. But keep being aware of the world around you of course.

Tengo 24, a veces siento que es demasiado tarde para mí. Pero no me rendiré ,no lo haré . Muchas gracias por estás palabras, se quedarán guardadas en mi corazón y mente para impulsarme

You just gained a subscriber!❤️❤️ I am 18 years old and would like to become a professional dancer but feel like I haven’t had the necessary training to help me get there. Where I am from, it’s hard to thrive as a person who would like to be a part of this industry. You’ve spoken nothing but facts this entire vid.

I'm a 20 year old, have been dancing (self teaching) for more than 10 years but never really knew how to get into dance industry until this video suddenly popped up in the middle of the night. Going through hard time right now but now after watching.. i definitely know what I've to do ❤️

I just wanted to let you know that you have a big impact beyond your country. You're not just a huge referent for the dance culture, your words are real and point at the most important thing that is to follow consciously your own inner voice with sense and objectivity. Thanks a lot!

My mom has this common saying “be careful who you step on while climbing up your ladder because your gonna see the same people on your way down”

Im 15 years old who really love dancing and right now im planning to pursue dance career, but i dont know where to start, but after i watch this video thankkk youu so much

I am still really young but after 3 years of training really hard I can already dance competitive against Europe and I'm really grateful for that. I hope I have an advantage bc I'm still young and have more time to learn more things. I really want to become a professional dancer backup or competitive bc ive wanted that all my life, thank you for this video I really appreciate it ❤️

Recently I've been feeling like my dreams are unachievable. The people around me support me, but I don't feel like they have too much faith in me, and that really brings you down, especially when it's your family ya know? I just wanted to say Thank you for making these videos, because they're really helping me to have a better understanding for my future. God bless you.

I LOVED this video it really helped me realize that I could be a dancer. I remember everyone telling me I was such a great dancer and that I'll make it( I never believed I could get far) , but after watching this I realized I need to be the one to tell myself that and BELIEVE it too.

I truly appreciate you for making this video!! I watched the whole video recently, and this is helpful for me to gain more knowledge about the expectations and understanding the insights of becoming a professional dancer in the industry. It is a DREAM of mine to be in a career that is surrounded by people who have the same mindset, values, morals and passion as me when it comes to dancing. Of course, I wanted to take my dancing into the next level because I believe in myself. This video really motivated me to keep going. As a Deaf Black female dancer, I have been through so many obstacles that I faced in life and I did not let that stop me from wanting to pursue my dreams. I definitely took notes throughout this video. Once again, THANK YOUUU SO MUCH!! ❤️❤️❤️

Being in my last year of highschool, I’ve been dancing since I was 7 years old even participated at a well known studio where I’m from and was part of my high schools dance team. As I kept on doing dance instead of giving it up it had caused me to think about my future career and what I want to be but then I have what you said thoughts in the back of my head of “what if I don’t make it”, “ what if I don’t make enough “, “will I be a disappointment?”, but after watching this video it made me realize that I need to re-evaluate how I want my life to be and realize my self love instead of thinking otherwise of myself. Honestly when you talked about self love it made me cry because I seem confident but then deep down social media as you mentioned lowkey brainwashes me. Feeling the need for likes and comments to give “popularity” or “ give me attention” but that doesn’t help. But yeah thank you for helping me start thinking about my self worth and figuring out my self love.

This is dope man. I've been watching your videos for a minute and I appreciate the love you're spreading. Can't wait to rock it out there in LA and continue to break molds. Keep doing your thing dawg. You're changing lives by this alone. Hope to meet and train with you one day. Mad love and blessings my G.

This is everything I needed to hear , all the steps I’ve been taking , I’m moving forward! I love your motive and inspiration! Thank you sooo much!

Incredibly thankful for sharing THIS! It was much needed to understand more how to get there and how things work! Much love!

So inspirational! I have a more and more positive mindset every time I watch your videos and I’m so thankful for that .

I am a 14-year-old who wants to become a dancer more than anything! The biggest thing I'm struggling to do is finding opportunities in New Zealand. Currently I attend competitions, workshops, events, classes etc. as much as I can but there's not many around.

I needed this so much, because I have hit that cap in my city and ready for the next journey, step, and move. You verified so much for me and your spirit literally validated my spirit to go and grow more!! Thank so much man!!

I love this video !!!it’s so helpful to get a structured few on how to approach the industry .

Omg Antonie, thank you so much for your advice. It really opened my eyes about dancing being more than just the talent but my intentions, mindset and more.much appreciated.🙌

This is the first video that I have watched from your channel and i feel lucky to have been able to consume all of this information, its super useful so thank you for that. I also listened to the entire bonus part of the video where you talk about your journey and how your life shifted after the age of 24, Im 20 right now and I am struggling trying to find myself and dance is one of those things that really helps me express myself and i feel like the more i do it, the more I figure out who I am. Listening to everything you talked about was such an inspiration to go on that journey and experience that shift myself. I never leave comments on any videos but I just had to on this one since i was so moved. Im grateful to have found this channel man, great content keep it up, i subbed.

I'm from Brazil and I want to be in the US in a couple years. I'm 22 now, I feel like it's kinda late but I'm not giving up. Dancing is what I love doing, I wanna do it as long as I can. I'm really into choreography, who knows, maybe someday I'll be part of Choreo Cookies, it'd be a dream becoming real

This is really incredible advice and wisdom that can be applied to any aspect of life! I also read “Rich Dad Poor Dad” and you’re absolutely right in saying that everything starts with a different mindset! Don’t ever stop inspiring and motivating others, great video!!

I really need to thank you for this videos, I’m from Costa Rica, a little far from the industry game, but with these videos I’m one step closer to the goal! Thanks Antoine 🙏🏻

The second part of this video really shows how genuine of a person your are besides ur talent . Nd I love it ❤️ we need more sit and talk /informal videos

thank you so much for this, love to see those type of contents. I learned a lot through your videos! so inspiring

This video helped me a lot. It made me realize that talent isn’t everything in the industry. Makes me rethink about my approach. I took notes and plan on putting them into action. Thank you.

liked this video before I even watched cause I knew it would be quality content :)

I greatly appreciate you making these videos! Ive been searching for mentors such as yourself to help give advice on the industry so thank you very much!

Thank you Antoine for posting teaching videos like this cause I really needed this.

as a 14 year, I have always danced since I was very little since 4 years old I have loved it ,And I want to inspire people and show people more positivity, I push myself to make it to the dream I want.

PREACH MAN!! This video is definitely affirmation for me!!

Once again, I'm watching these videos and not a dancer haha but true gems in this video bro. Rich Dad Poor Dad was also the video that got me hooked on reading books also. The first book I read as an adult. It's crazy how we are similar on almost everything you been saying in this. Keep living your truth bro!

Antoine, this is great information. I LOVE that you focus so heavily on the self love and importance of knowing who you are. It is beyond critical and such great advice. Thanks for sharing again.

About to finish my final year in uni and I cant wait to get into this industry.

I’m 14 and I’ve got into dancing a month ago and I love it ,thanks I needed this video. fighting!

Thank you so much for your inspiration. I will let my college watch this video to know where they stand in dancing

This was better than any podcast I have listened to 🙏🏻❤️

Thank you for dropping these gems.

Thank you for sharing this. Been looking for this insight for many years. LEGEND!

Thank you for sharing this information I have been working at my dancing and singing career since I was a kid growing up around music .my mom who sustained music into my life when I was younger this is the type of job that I want to do for the rest of my life I don't.t it for passion. I consider and look at it like it's a job and life changing. Environmentally I never had anyone explain or break it down to me about the business and I had to learn it on my own

Antoine, I just want to say that this video is amazing!!! I know I will watch it at least 20 times more. It has so much great insight that I just couldn't absorb it all by watching it once. I'm in college, and what I'm majoring in is the very opposite of dancing, but in the back of my mind, I've always wanted to dance, regardless of whether it's as a career or just for fun. I've been having a mini-crisis every day about what I want to do with my life because I feel like who I truly am and what I really want to do are very different from the career path that I'm going into. One thing certain is that I want to start dancing as soon as possible. There isn't any professional dance studio nearby where I live, but I'm flying back to my hometown next week, so I'm hoping to sign up for a dance class or something if there are any openings. Anyway, I could tell you have gone through a ton of self conversation and reflection and I am so grateful that you were nice enough to share what you've found! Thank you!!

Thanks for your honesty and telling it like it is!

I love your honesty. I am thinking to move to LA from VA to become a pro dancer and this video was very helpful. THANK YOU 💎

Thank you for sharing this information very much needed for me and my nephew especially trying to arrange and organize our professional dancing careers

I'm a thirteen year old kid and even tho I'm young I feel like this is my thing I promise myself to do what I love to do, so I'll work harder every single day ,thank you for making this video I think it would help a lot of people including myself❤️

Thank you very much for your incredible work inspiring thousands of dancers around the world

My why is because I love music and dance is a way I can connect with it. And I wanna be a performer I wanna put on a SHOW for people. I wanna be a star.

Wow thank you! Def needed this!

Very grateful I came across this video, I'm filled with knowledge and will continue to learn thank you.

This is great because this can be applied in many aspects of life. Thank you I hope you have a great week

Useful information as always !! 🙏🏾

thank you! can you please do a video on the mindset that you talk to know your self,confidense and love . i very appricate what you do !

I'm a 14 year old and I'm very interested in the dance industry. I've always watched videos about what it takes and how to make it through, but I was always confused. It was just the same stuff over and over, "make relationships - move to big cities - join auditions - market yourself" and everytime I kept asking HOW? I need to do this, but how do I do it? I finally found this video and it was so helpful, I've taken so many notes on it and I'm a lot more confident in making dance my career. Thank you so much!

thank you for the advice. Have a blessed day!

This is given me so much different ways to look at dance and also I get direction for make dance to profession...I think everyone's is in different situations but at the end of the day it's really all about mindset!.... I get so much but it will be great if we get videos on that topic you said you gonna make specifically like after that HOW QnA ...1-how do I get agents 2- how do I need to be training ? 3- what my resume and headshot needs to look like? 4-how do I market my self 5- how I'm goin to build my relationships (this is something I need really need to work on) 6- working on my Look I know it's a lot but just so curious to learn about this things😊 hope I not stressed you out ANTOINE

Abby, if you need any specific advice hit me up. I moved to LA when I was 18 and knew nothing, learned everything the hard way lol. But now after 20 years dancing professionally I can suggest to get a plan down on paper. Start a savings account for your move (6months-1year of living expenses& moving costs), research the agencies, watch all the content you can on LA choreographers and the dance industry, train as often as you can, go to open classes in Your area, do conventions(b/c they have working choreographers on them), research areas to live, find out where all the studios are that you wanna train at. Antoines is grrrreat!!! “KreativMndz Dance Academy”.(One of my former students who lives in LA now trains and works there and she loves it and has learned so much), get a resume going, headshots, dance shots, and just hit me up or any other pro dancers to get advice to help you as you go! You can do it, keep working hard and plan ahead 😊

Hey, I’m a 20 years old dancer living in Nigeria. I’ve always wanted to be a dancer, like it’s the only thing I know how to do more than anyone around me. But living in Nigeria doesn’t make things easy because I’m a hip hop dancer. My country doesn’t really appreciate that style of dance but I think I’m starting to make a change in the mindsets of people here. Now I’m thinking of going abroad to actually become a professional dancer. Thank you so much for this video, I know who I am now and who I would want to become in the nearest future.

Thankyou so much for this. Trying to find my way in this industry but I live in jersey . Closed in town . This really helps . Thankyou ! - If you see this ; How do I create my own style of visuals / dance ? … if I want to become a trail blazer … like Parris Goebel?

Love this

That was actually really good stuff, nuggets for sure.

As a 14 year old I’m not really into dancing or things in that category but if I would start dancing in my life this video would be a good influence for a starter dancer or someone who wants to start dancing.

Thank you for this

You speak so clearly and your words are so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your advice and experience. I was wondering if you know anything about the growing dance community and industry in South Korea? My goal is to be a backup dancer there but as of right now I am still overseas. Any advice or knowledge you have of the differences/similarities in the dance world over there would be greatly appreciated, and thank you again!

THANK YOU

This was great 👀👌 in a dancer in nyc but I think we could all use some advice in these times 😭

Thank you so much for this. This helped so much get my thoughts together and plan for what I hope to be a better future for me not just as a dancer but also as an individual. I was wondering with knowing the “why, what, when, and the how” is there anything an international dancer can do to get into the industry in LA or Atlanta? I’m sure all the tips and advice still applies exactly the same; however, I know as an international who is living outside the United States there are certain limits and difficulties internationals go through.

I live in Saudi Arabia, I went to college in Boston for 5 years and that’s when I discovered what dance really meant for me. So now I’m here in Saudi teaching and trying to actually give voices for dancers here and create something for us here which was my mission; however, with the many legal limitations I have in my country and how the scene is here seems that it won’t be happening because of how everything is being controlled. For me to get to London which is a totally new place for me where as in LA I’m use to visiting and use to be there a lot when I can. As you mentioned choose people that you want to work with and for me those people are in LA. So actually going to LA is what I want and not to say because it’s LA it’s because the choreographers I look up to and want to work with are in LA
