How To Do A Calypso I Easy Tutorial With @MissAuti

I am hosting a live dance WERKshop on April 11!! Buy your tickets here and use code MissAuti20..

We are learning how to do a calypso leap!! This jump is v popular in the dance world and can be used in lots of different styles, especially jazz and lyrical. Calypso jumps have a bent back leg (attitude) and a straight front leg. I am showing you how to do the leap prep as well, the lovely high chaîné, low chaîné moment. I am so excited to show you another dance trick that you can work at home during the 'tine. This dance jump tutorial is quick and easy, so you can go watch even more dance videos when you're done with this one.. hehe. Make sure to do a good dance warmup before you try this dance class out. xo.

Find me on IG @MissAuti and Brayden @BraydenBear

My dance teacher recommended for us to watch you since we can’t be in the studio! Thanks so much!

If she was my teacher in real life all of my problems would be solved

Auti was my teacher at Millennium Dance Complex. She is seriously a great teacher. I was the most consistent I've ever been with dance, going to her class! WHERE ARE YOU TEACHING NOW, I will follow you lol.

I watched your video on how to do pirouettes years ago before I started my dance journey and now I find myself here, finally getting my calypso. Thank you for your amazing videos! They are so helpful.

When you're self-teaching contemporary so hearing all these terms sounds so beautifully alien 🙂

Best verbal description of the jump and steps to work up to height that I have heard. Maybe after all these years I will finally be able to do one! If I do one w/ decent height, I will let you know :) Thnx ya'll!

I did this everyday for 1 and a half months and now my calypso is so beautiful ty

I'm a self trained dancer, since we don't have anything near, so yeah! It's really helpful, thanks!

I can only imagine how confused non-dancers are with all the terminology 😂

I have to do a calypso with oone of my classmates in my jazz dance and I’ve never done a proper one but this has helped me SOOOO much!!! Thank

[ashleyn]

She looks like such a wonderful teacher 🥺 I’ve danced when I was little but not anymore, but if I had her as a teacher I’d so do dance again 😂 she makes it look even more fun then it already is

I just signed up for your livestream event!! I’ve always wanted to learn dance but no studios around me offer dance classes to people over 18 (like what???) but I’m so thankful you have so many online resources to learn from!! As someone whose parents couldn’t financially afford for me to dance when I was younger I wanted to thank you for making dance accessible to everyone regardless of socioeconomic status!! 💞💞

[macytedder]

I can already do a calypso but these tips helped me get mine better

[dafnacopelovitch]

I bought a ticket and am super excited to go to the live class!

[abbymora]

I've been trying to do this for so long.I finally learned how to actually do it!!!Thank you Miss Auti ♥️

[canieatnow]

I learnt it thanks to you! I haven’t been to a dance class in 7 years so I didn’t understand the terminology but you make it so easy to learn!
