1. before you teach other people how to dance, try learning some yourself.

2. we arent stupid, you can speak a little faster.

Hey dont make fun of stuff! you guys think you're better? SHOW IT

I dont see you in vides doin any better so shut it

[emmhill]

i have some advice for you.

on your first arabesque the back am is too far back therefore making you look a tad odd, secondly the foot on the second arabesque is turned in.

if you make these changes the video will be much better

@theamazingsoter No, haha, sorry!

[theamazingsoter]

@emmadilemmasings Ooops, sorry. I thought you were telling me it was "on l'air" instead of "en l'air".

[emmadilemmasings]

@theamazingsoter I was saying the girl in the video was being a know it all. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was saying how she pronounced it "on l'air," and then acted like she was smart because she said "which rhymes with air, meaning 'in the air.'"

[theamazingsoter]

@emmadilemmasings When did I act like I know it all? It's "en l'air", period.
