[JustSimplyMe22]

[DudeImDrunk1]

were you sleepy? when you made this video*

[DudeImDrunk1]

were you sleepy?

[DreZGiant]

Shawn I started practicing my tutting a couple weeks ago but when I bend my hands back, they bend on the outside at 120 degrees, not 90. I've tried stretching them back, but haven't seen much progress. My angles look sloppy when I bend back as a result. Is this something that will diminish with time/practice/stretching?

[musicindance]

am new to this style.. thanks Shawn. great tips shared! subbed&will continue to watch ur other tutting tuts(tutorials haha)What intrigues me most abt tutting is tt every time a dancer tuts,it looks very much like he/she is solving a puzzle while at the same time performing magic(with those finger vanishes etc)Very interesting.However,unlike puzzles where it can get really frustrating when it is too complex,I think the more complex-looking a tutting combo is,the more exhilarating hahaha

[YetiMaken]

love the video deff helped me alot



[Maher890]

Best explaination on tutting i came across and i viewed a lot of tutting tutorials

[TheLiterose]

thanks to this & you my tutting has gotten alot bettah i pretty sure you can't check for yourself but still thanks for the tutorial

[iangandaaa]

And what you said about you helping. Yes youre helping alot of people out. Maybe in the right way maybe in the wrong way. There might be some things you miss out, or not eexplain in the best way because you might be just fresh too. Juste Debout, dancers who are best in the world, even the dancers there dont just go out and teach.

Why..? Cause they know if they miss out on sharing something, the effect would be setting the standard lower in what theyre teaching. Get in the scene but props still

[o0o0Se7en0o0o]

beginners shouldn't teach beginners.

[iangandaaa]

@o0o0Se7en0o0o SO TRUE BAM! Its cool to share knowledge but its a different thing to know how to carry the style and pass it on to someone else. You cant just teach cause you know how to do something. 5 years, 6 years, 7 years nah. Heard it from (insert popping icon or og's name here).. nah. Took a class from ( insert some popular dancers name here) nah. You gotta live in the scene. Be careful about what you share. Make sure youk know what youre doin. Im just doin my part to protect my art. :)

[shanesvidios]

looking pretty fly in that top  lol thanks for tips vid is helpful as usual

[FrOsTyBeArKiD]

Dude, that was really helpful. Some people talkin bout ducks or w/e. Who cares! You're a great instructor which is more than we can ask for. All the concepts really helped add a lot of variety to my tuts already n they weren't super difficult to start incorporating and saved me a lot of time to develop my own style :] thanks man!

[Freakazoid456]

Oh my god. Marry me xD I'm kidding. You're really talented :) I've been popping since I was 6 and I'm the only girl who pops at my school and I wanna teach other girls stuff too. :)

[marz468]

Dude I watched ur video a long time ago wen u 1st kinda started and u got way better..I bearly got into tutting..really like da dance

[airjv23]

ay bro, i've been dancing for a lil more than a yr now.. and your tutorials srsly guided me thru that whole time (n still is) lol jus thought id let u know, big ups mayn keep doin wut u doin

[TheGOON098]

Thanks man! You helped me out a lot! You should watch my videos. Just type in the YouTube name!

[MatTAFacT]

damn shawn..where you been

[aznjesus44]

Im lovin all these dance tips man! Just curious, who is your favorite dancer(s)? 

[XXRavethedrummerXX]

To anyone, when your tutting for a group of people, do you want to look at the group or your hands (fingers, limbs, ect?) Because when I pratice in a mirror, I look at myself...

[DeityFierceFoxy]

4:03

[reiibsbholic]

you're deff awesome. i've been practicing some tutting combo for several weeks but i doesn't seem good nuff, i mean my finger looks kind of loose and i can't control my finger to keep close, i know it sounds confusing. anyway, please do more tips. LOVE IT:)

[BbOYWeetTart]

i want to learn to tut do u have a tutorial please shawn :DDD

[Ruslanbalvan]

How do you master a move? I practiced your scoo-bot infront of the mirror for some weeks now and it still looks sloopy infront of the camera. Same for the tutting :(. Love what you do, peace from Sweden.

[PKdancer1000]

Yo Shawn i have watched all of u and the beatrockerz droppin knowledge vids but i still don't understand what musicality is.

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@PKdancer1000 have you tried looking up the actual definition? Along with that you can also watch a video called "Rhythm vs musicality" it will tell you the different between the two it might help you understand it a little better

[coloazn1]

@Muzicsoulrhythm you saw that vid too, it's so good, really opened up my perspecitve on what the differences are between them. FYI... Super thankful to all the vids you have posted and made. Thanks so much

[CookieCamCam]

@PKdancer1000

I think it's your feel for the music. It's not only your body moving but your (this is going to sound cheesy) soul. It's like... err... actually, being one with the music? :))

[dhruvwason1992]

Guyzzz plzzz chk out my new vids!!!!!!

[XXRavethedrummerXX]

Would finger fitness make you better at tutting...or is it still pratice?

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@XXRavethedrummerXX they are similar style so i think finger fitness will add a different element to your tutting. You can mix finger tutting and tutting together

[D3California]

do u have tutorials on the last tip you gave?

the magical fingers?

that looks awesome!

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@D3California Not really but you can check out "digit dancing" you see a lot of ravers do it. There are a lot of digit moves that are used in finger tutting to give a cool ass illusion

[RaGnOeRaWrZzZ]

when im flipping out for tutting, my hands arent straight.... do u know how to make them straight???

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@RaGnOeRaWrZzZ practice. I have to remind myself to keep them straight also. Its just habit...eventually it will be cake

[k0d14k1]

no diss, but tutting is the gayest thing i've seen in dance. it ranks bottom in terms of cool dance moves

[ShadowStepCr3w]

@k0d14k1 It Depends what style your fond of... it really is though a big difference from other styles so i see where your coming from.

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@k0d14k1 everyone has a different opinion. I've seen some amazing mesmorizing tutters thats why i respect the style. I feel the same about jerking and the dougie.

[Awesomecause44]

@MrJoostReus not only does his videos rock but i ve seen hundreds of videos and none of them helped as much as his his better then u will ever be stopr trollin duck face lol and keep ur retarded shitty opinions to urself

[ShadowStepCr3w]

I Find it amazing how you go out of your way to find time to help and make tutorials for people you probably will never meet, but you know that we are here and i really appreciate the time you give us, most people stop at a couple tutorials but its been really great seeing you evolve and care for the kids who spend most of their leisure time dancing in their garage. And I like what you said at the end of the vid "Keep it Real Stay Humble" Probably the most important characteristic of a dancer.

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@ShadowStepCr3w Thanks for recognizing! One day everything i do will pay off for i am just "doing"

[blake10001]

cool im not the only one who makes sounds when im practiceing stuff

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@blake10001 Its better than doing it in the silence lol

[quazer12]

shawn gives the best dance tutorials

[dnamick17]

how come when i watch other tutorials i never get it down but you always add that little extra detail that helps out a ton... thanks man.

[terryagyekum]

yo this helps alot i learned how to tut better based on all the tutorials u have so yeah don't pay attention ppl trying to bring u down with the tutorials u put up. It helps.

[E11ama]

i always forget to use my head. ;d lol, good tips.

[nolazx6r]

thanks for some new ideas shawn!!!

[itsvuman]

Mmm... magical stuffs...

[trubeauty9]

ur sexy and talented? total package

[SiiCKIViiBE]

yay! thank shaawn!

this is really heelpful!!!! do more of these tutting tips^_^

[jerryq27]

I found this to be really helpful video

I also like how your teaching technique on how to build our own Tuts instead of just giving us combos like so many other tutorials out there

Thanks again Shawn

And remember the more popular you get the more haters will come your way Just don't pay attention to them bro, keep doing what your doing

[Paulineback]

This helped a lot! Thanks! :)

[bigbrodc1]

we appreciate it shawn we really do man

[BPoppingMan]

Thanks for the video, I've been trying to make my own combos and this helps me a lot. To make a note of some of the more negative comments, you don't seem like a "beginner" to me. People like to compare the tuts of Moon, Hok, Pacman, or you know, some of the other great Tutters out there, to people like us, who don't have abnormal limbs or crazy straight hands.

[KelaBeats]

2:19 falling asleep :D

[malikcheck]

@KelaBeats haha

[YAYdang]

I like you :)

[pleasedontask]

thanks for the advice, shawn. i wish i could finger tut tho. everytime i try i feel limited and arthritic.

[ChaosAkuma3]

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! helped a lot and i have a better understanding of the creativity of tutting!

[pr0ud2bap1n0y]

hey shawn, would you mind if i made a complimentary video on improving your tuts? i really enjoy tutting, myself, n i thought i could add a few more pointers for the up n comers =]

[cambi18]

Finger vanishes lol i wanna try that :P

[XXRavethedrummerXX]

2:43 "well, you think you do" Lol i love that!

And once again, good video.

[TheJELLYGROOOVE]

great tips dude!

[SoufStylo]

nice tips and great tutting.keep doing ya thing!..check out my dance videos if you like

One love!

[sirwan02]

you always open new doors for me thanks alot^^

[BaoZakeruga]

That actually helped a lot. thanks. But my problem is that I have trouble getting my hands at perfect 90 degree angles. Especially when I bend them back. Is there any way to improve that, or was I screwed from birth lol?

[pr0ud2bap1n0y]

@BaoZakeruga you can stretch out your wrists. hold your hands straight out in front of you and gently pull your fingers back to get that stretch. once you're done stretching, drill your tuts to build up the muscle strength. sooner or later, you'll get your 90 degrees =]

[VietTangProductions]

@BaoZakeruga naw i have that trouble too so dont worry

[bbsfactor7x7]

Shawn you think you could make a tutorial on how to improve your angles it would help alot

[MrJoostReus]

Why are you making tutorials on how to tut, if you tut with socalled 'ducks' yourself.

Practise yourself first before you start teaching others.

I mean you can go ahead and make a tutorial on how to tut but please make a beginner tutorial, since you are one yourself.

Just my opinion. ;)

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@MrJoostReus who are you and what are you talking about? Ducks? I never claimed im an expert you kid. I teach because people can relate to my teaching style. You have the option not to learn you know. According to the other comments this video helps and thats all that matters.

[Xander2k5]

@Muzicsoulrhythm Can't please everyone MSR. Some people are just jackasses. You can't escape them. I however, found this very helpful. I already do a couple of the things you suggested like the folding/bending (even though this video did help me with some issues I've been having) and the "jazz hands" (which this video has also helped me improve that also). The hand isos and using my head I still have trouble doing though. For some reason, it seems too complicated for my body to accomplish. :-/

[KelaBeats]

@Muzicsoulrhythm

Yah it's a good vid man, these little kids who think they're pros tryna hate on you. Keep doin your thing. Your fan appreciate it ferreal.

[Nujabeast]

@Muzicsoulrhythm yo shawn, don't worry about this fool. he's what we'd call an eboy but i guess right now with tutting instead of bboying :)

[MrJoostReus]

@Muzicsoulrhythm I see the fact that this video helps a lot of people, but im just sayin that your angles are not how they should be. Not at all. And i just think you should be practising a little more on that before you start teaching others. I mean, teacher are usually about the best in what they do, and then they share their knowledge. But it's just my opinion, im not saying you should immidiately get this video down or something, i respect what you do but im just givin you my opinion on this

[n8goesSPLAT]

@MrJoostReus teachers are still students, someone will be able to gain from this tut

[demonaca123]

I bow down to you oh master. Show me enlightenment. Shawn teaches us because he has near to 30,000 subscribers who appreciate him and want to be taught.

[ConradtheFun]

@MrJoostReus .... thats gay dude... wayy to hate... his "ducks", even if they are ducks, look fricking good.

[DaRandomlyDope]

@MrJoostReus Forgive him.. hes new to youtube

doesn't realize shawn pham is king of the dance world on here

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@DaRandomlyDope king of the dance world? i am a student of the game forever

[GojuBoyBrian]

@MrJoostReus bahahahahaha shawn is not a beginner!!! xD

"ducks"?? wth 0.o

[asddork]

@MrJoostReus Hey hey You!!!!!

YOU SUCK!

[CrtlAltDlt]

@MrJoostReus

Lets see you tut mister perfect ;D

[anime123123]

@CrtlAltDlt MrJoostReus actually has a nice tutting video on his channel..

[RookieN08]

@MrJoostReus , are you kidding me???? This guy is actually sick in tutting!!!

[andrewandyyo]

@MrJoostReus

I bet shawn can take you out in tutting with his eyes closed.

[kkmoslehpour]

@MrJoostReus Maaan you dont know who you even messin with you dumb s*** your the one that sucks, ive checked your video and all you do is finger tutting and your hand tutting is very repetitive, you keep doing the same moves over and over again. Let's see you post a tutorial before you start talking.

[MrJoostReus]

@kkmoslehpour Now, that's just what im sayin. Me postin a tutorial would be totally pointless. Im not that good at tutting so im not gonna teach other people, thats the point. I am gonna keep on practising till i think im about the best in tutting and THEN im gonna teach other people what i now. I mean, if youre on a sport like for a week and then there is another new guy you're not gonna teach him everything you learned. But it's just my opinion, jesus, why do these things blow up so much on yt

[ShadowStepCr3w]

@MrJoostReus Hey i have an idea how about you stop baggin on people who try to teach, god didn't put you on this planet to accept this video, and no one in dance is the same thats "his style". Right now its as if your questioning god why isn't the water clean when you should be thankful its even there.

[MrJoostReus]

@ShadowStepCr3w Ok, nevermind. Apperently you kids can't deal with some constructive critisism... Forget about me, just keep on posting "w0W thissz is aWs0me!!!!!1!!!111!!!" comments. Forget i ever posted a comment. Jesus...

[ShadowStepCr3w]

@MrJoostReus I never said Shawn is the best you need a better way of absorbing text. All im trying to get to you is just be appreciative of what hes teaching. Sure he can get better everyone can, and its not constructive criticism when you come on a video and Criticize someone....stop degrading yourself.

[Awesomecause44]

@MrJoostReus not only does his videos rock but i ve seen hundreds of videos and none of them helped as much as his his better then u will ever be stopr trollin duck face lol and keep ur retarded shitty opinions to urself

[rossiphil]

ich touched myself, when i watched this. hahah.

[coleshillctb25]
