Iโ€™m officially the "timing klutz" of my dance crew and I hate it ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Why is spacing and timing so freaking hard? I feel like Iโ€™m doing fine when I look in the mirror, but whenever we film it, Iโ€™m always like 0.5 seconds off. Itโ€™s so embarrassing. ใ… ใ… 

I keep messing up the formations and I feel so bad for my team. Does anyone have specific drills to improve timing or "formation awareness"? I really want to master that sharp, synchronized look, but Iโ€™m struggling so much. Would love some advice from the pro dancers here!

Girl, youโ€™re not a klutz, youโ€™re just in the 'fine-tuning' stage! Try practicing without the mirror. Close your eyes or face the back and dance to the rhythm only!

Don't stare at the person in front of you. Try to see the whole line using the corners of your eyes. Itโ€™s a literal 'Star Quality' skill.

Formation awareness is a nightmare at first, but your team probably appreciates how much you care. One day it'll just 'click' and you'll be sharp as a knife!

One thing that helped me was recording myself from the side. It reveals if your posture is making you look slower than you actually are. Hang in there, legend!
