Some people just love to dance. There’s something about moving their feet that’s addictive. But some individuals go above and beyond in their love of dance. It’s something they do all the time. Those people usually end up being pretty good because they’re practice…a lot.
But not everyone refines their dancing skills simply because they took classes for years, starting when they were kids. And there’s proof…one of the most popular dancers on the internet learned his craft just by watching videos. Then, he started to make his own. His name is Sven Otten, but you may know him better by his YouTube channel, JustSomeMotion.
He started online
These days, it’s easy to learn just about anything online and that’s just what Otten did. He loved to dance. So, he watched online tutorials that taught him all his favorite moves. It took him a little bit of time to get to the level he’s at now, but it’s clear he had talent all along.
Otten wanted to film his dances
After spending so much time watching other people dance on YouTube, Otten thought it was time for him to show off his moves. That’s when he turned on his camera and started filming himself dancing in his room. People loved his video so much, he quickly racked up nearly 50 million views.
His dance style is totally unique
One reason fans like Otten so much is because his style is unique. He calls it “neoswing.” But it’s really a combination of many different styles of dance, including the Melbourne Shuffle, Tectonic, Charleston, and more. All of these influences come together to create something amazing.
Some of his videos are especially fun
While all of Otten’s videos are fun to watch, there are some that capture the audience’s attention almost immediately. When he dances to Delight by Jamie Berry featuring Octavia Rose, he has a swing you can’t deny. He’s wearing a suit and a hat, but that doesn’t stop him from going all out. He starts at a slower, slightly more relaxed pace. But as the music builds, he takes his dance skills to an entirely different level.
The music starts to take off
Toward the beginning of the video, you hear music that sounds traditional and relaxed, though it’s celebratory. It’s not long before the tempo builds with an electronic sound that’s from the modern era. Then, Otten starts to turn up, giving his audience an incredible performance complete with fancy moves.
He has so much energy
Perhaps one of the best parts about watching Otten dance is he has so much energy. He doesn’t seem to slow down throughout the entire song. It’s like every part of his body is moving at once. There isn’t any point when his arms or legs are resting. That kind of energy is contagious.
Otten teaches other dancers now
Otten learned how to dance on YouTube. But now, he’s teaching other people. He created a Dance Academy Channel that gives everyone a chance to dance in his unique signature style. Viewers from all over the world watch his videos to learn his exciting and entertaining choreography.
You have to see this video for yourself. That way, you’ll understand why everyone is so impressed with Sven Otten and his dancing skills.
