Can we just take a second and talk about how brilliant this video is?

As a dancer I find this hilarious in its accuracy

the accuracy of this is so perfect it hurts

"Its a brief moment where you show the audience your wawaha." XD LOL

I'm never going to be able to watch a piece of contemporary dance with a straight face ever again haha

Not gonna lie... I laughed out loud. well done.

"The peakaboo where you give the audience a quick look at your wawaha" LMMFAO

I've spent thousands of dollars on my daughters contemporary dance lessons. Who knew I only needed to have her watch this video!

"Say hello bich..." "Hel-" "Okay."

You forgot to mention the "Well, hello there" in which you sassily walk off stage like someone really attractive just came into the room 2:43 - 2:45

I'm a contemporary dancer and we do name our moves like that, it is so funny because it sounds like it is just a joke but later it looks beautiful.

Hi, I’m Renata Bliss, and I’m your freestyle dance teacher.

This is seriously my favorite video on KZfaq. The Blind Man Playing Volleyball makes me laugh so hard. Can I just be Robert Hoffman? My first name is Robert so I'm already half way there.

lmao never will I be able to see a contemporary dance piece without this in mind

The way he walked off at the end of the dance. I'm crying!

i have actually learned a lot and laughed at the same time

A movement response to How to Contemporary Dance Ladies and gentlemen, this is my mentor. She taught me how to dance. She is the only one in the world who can pull off all of the 15 contemporary dance steps in SLOW MOWSHIN. Watch and learn.

As a big fat SYTYCD fan, I can confirm this. and the finish is from Kent and Neil's routine "How it ends" LOL

the peekaboo "when you give someone a quick look at your wallaha" 😂😂I love this dance I'm actually considering using it for my audition at the ugly step sister tomorrow 😂😂

All contemporary dance routines look like this!

Having sat through more moderne dance performances than I care to count, I believe this to be a fairly accurate depiction. However, I find it to be missing two quintessential moves: rolling on the floor as if to put out a fire, and attempting to sit up from the floor but lack the energy to do it. Bravo!

"Say hello bich" *waves* "..Hel-" "Okay." hahaha

Commenting to boost in the algo because people be replicating this classic on other socials right now 😤😤

The great part of this is that they are obviously both talented and experienced dancers and can still laugh at the art. I love this so much.

I will never be able to look at contemporary dancing the same.

I'm practicing "The Pewp" RIGHT now! I'm so inspired and constipated at the same time.

Hahaha this is so funny! And painfully accurate... Haha

The knee The pants Zombie with emotion I just came out of a well The brat The blind man The pewp The elbowless hug The bounce This is your head Srsly get your hands off me Peekaboo Leg The magnet Why is your head in my hand Go to sleep Bich

her legs are amazing

OMG you totally forgot, "I just punched my own self in the guts"

4 years later and this is still my favorite video on KZfaq.

Literally dying at the accuracy 😂🤌

AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH oh my gosh this was hilarious

i am DYING. robert this is so ON POINT. I can't. HAHAHAHAHA.

Ahhhh my god I remember a couple years ago I was messing around and did the “peekaboo” and somehow managed to smash my face into the hard wood floor.

As a ex-contemporary dancer, I LOVED this! So funny! Nailed it!

Certainly the best dance tutorial I've ever seen...

Tribute to "Contemporary Eric" Ok, so, here's my critique. Some of your dancers forgot to dance with.... EMOWSHIN. Other than that... your technique is purrrrfect. Good work.

i watched this when i was 14 and had my first contemprary class that day. now im 17 and im watching this again. this is gold 😂

The blind man is my favorite could stop laughing I needed that 🤣

Someone get this man a medal....

I really hate this Google+ crap. I want to see actual comments on the video, not everybody's "Hey, check out this video I found on the internet" blog.

5years and I can't stop laughing

I'm only a few years late to this party, but I'm cracking up! Thank you!

this is the greatest thing i've ever seen omg

Hah! if you've ever watched an episode of "So You Think You Can Dance" you've seen ALL of those moves over and over. lol

That was hilarious !! "The Peekaboo: when you give the audience a quick peel of you wobaha" xD

This is THE GREATEST thing I have seen in a while. You have scarred my life forever, and whenever I see those moves, everywhere, from now on, I will think those names. A job well done. You made my day. Congratulations.

that walk though

Dancing LyKra - Contemporary Eric Reply How-To Ok, here's my feedback for this video: This is probably the best dancer I have ever seen in my life. God has given you a talent and you need to share it with the world on shows such as So You Think You Can Dance. Omigod, you are, amazing. Good work.

"Go to sleep bich*" LMFAO...that was kinda good deciphering for contemporary dance :P I love you Robert (I mean contemporary Eric)!!!

I’ve done Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, and Tap. I’m starting Contemporary next year. Lol

say hello bitch made me LOOOL

Hahaha. That literally had me laughing out loud! My favorite-the "go to sleep bitch." Genius! Thanks for the laughs Contemporary Eric!

Lool omg this is hysterical because its so true yet the way you decided to incorporate these meanings to the different moves is jokes, LOVE IT!

What the.... LOL!!!😂😂 That was too funny, and looked real. The walk off at the end with the demon screech "no!" was great!!

EPIC, you guys are hilarious (and frighteningly accurate), the descriptors of each of the "15 moves" has me standing and applauding...well done. "Can I get up now"

'Hilarious' is a strong word...

The names made me laugh so much at how well they fit. So entertaining and actually really great dancing and putting it all together looked AMAZING ❤️😂

Come back to this video every once in a while.

Well Done Robert..!!!

the girl got awesome legs

Eric brilliantly exposed the so called authenticity of nowadays contemporary dance. Using humor to show how superficial contemporary dance has become, when used in competitions such as "so you think you can dance" and the like. No contents, just steps. Thanks Eric, well done.

You broke it down for us novices and made us smile and chuckle... Spot On...

I am a dancer myself; and I found this hilarious

DEAD!!! LOL

I found this absolutely hilarious. In fact, after attending three contemporary dance presentations in about nine months, I decided I have had enough of step 9!!!!!

You have changed my life. Not only was that hilarious I now understand contemporary better. Thank you!!

Best vid I've seen on youtube in a while.

"Give the audience a quick look at your wa-wa-ha" HAHAHA OMFG

..and that's how you do contemporary dance. LOL And the couches! My fav vid ever.

One of the GOATs on YT.

DYING

Robert this IS AMAZING.. HILARIOUS!!!

Freaking hilarious. You crack me up! Last LA Dancers Forum at SAGAFTRA Nigel Lithoe went apesh*t about how SYTYCD contestants define "contemporary dance" as reaching out into the ether and looking dramatically into the distance. He was seriously pissed off about it. Still, he admitted that there's a difference between what is authentic and what sells television shows - so... you're a badass for being such a great dancer AND for making fun of the nonsense. Ha!

This is my FAVORITE. I've seen every single one of these moves at dance competitions

Priceless!

That walk at the end! Lol!

This is just one of the most fabulous things I've ever seen.

This is the best dance I've ever seen in my entire life. The black socks are just a bonus.

I loved everything about this.

As someone who knows zero about dance but enjoys the occasional episode of So You Think You Can Dance, this did indeed look like every interpretive/contemporary dance. Haha, well done.

DYING!!! Please post more like this!! I think your walks off are my favourite part!!!!

5 years and i still love this...

Help us, Contemporary Eric and Bich! Ok, so, here is my feedback. The boy has obviously had like 20 years of more training than the girl. That's ok. Kepp going girl! You will get there. Other than that, your commitment was really really good. The boy is especially good at The Well. Good work.

thank you contemporary Eric, ive never been better at dance

love the descriptions of the moves makes it fun

This is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Love!

With today's technology, they had to put so much effort into making it (purposely) look so bad with the "VHS" pauses and jumps. Awesome job.

Ohmygosh!!! I was laughing so hard throughout this video! I'm going to start calling these moves this now in class 😂😂😂

I haven't laughed this much in a good long while. You're amazing LOVED THIS!!!!

My dance teachers were doing some of these moves before exams to cheer me up, so glad I found this video finally

Awesome ROB!!

My niece does contemporary and ballet. You bet when I watch her dance I will be looking for these moves. LoooL.

I love how you included contemporary furniture in the video as well. Nice touch.

I freaking loved the descriptions for the moves

LMAOO. I can't with this video. That is all so spot on. Oml, dying.

OMG that looks likes every single contempo dance on SYTCD. Wow! It is funny to see it broken down like that!

Truly inspirational, thank you both so much for showing me what true beauty is

One of my favorite things ever. Thank you so much for being a master namer of dance moves!
