Bryan Tanaka Talks About His Career With Jigtv.com
Rihanna, Mariah Carey, and Destiny’s Child have all chosen master choreographer Bryan Tanaka to dance in their videos and on tour. Tanaka tells JigTV.com about his life dancing on world tours with the biggest acts in pop music and dance. In his exclusive JigTV.com interview. Bryan offers a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes as well as on stage.
Chelsea Latimer, host of the online dance community’s interview series, which also provides video dance instruction with top dancers and choreographers, gets Bryan to open up about what he’s done to get to where he is now, what to expect from a professional dance audition, the importance of dancers developing their own freestyle moves, and the benefits of knowing many different styles of dance.
Tanaka’s first piece of advice for those interested in how to learn to dance is “You can’t just take one person’s class. You’ve got to take everybody’s.” Chelsea agrees and provides users with opportunities to learn dance from a long list famous choreographers including Bryan Tanaka, Blake McGrath, Tony Testa, Galen Hooks, and a host of others through informative interviews with dancers and online video instruction, as well as pro dancer video blogs.
Bryan also encourages dancers to record themselves dancing and to learn from their own movement. “Watch yourself. Other than taking lessons from a teacher, your other best teacher is yourself. Make sure you video yourself and learn how your body moves.”
JigTV.com takes this advice a step further, providing users with the ability to upload video of their own moves to compare with other dancers. Dance contests are also offered with prizes for the best dancers’ videos.
