Set up a camera to record your video. Later you will use the video editing software that comes with your camera, so you should familiarize yourself with it. Now, position your camera on a tripod. Make sure your video recorder has sound enabled and choose music to dance to for your video. Make a test video and keep the camera near the stereo, so that it picks up the sound.
Dance in a cleared area. Make sure the area where you dance has enough space to move with no obstructions like furniture or lamps. Make sure the lighting is good. Rent space in a dance studio if there is no room in your residence. This will also give your dance video a professional looking setting, with balance beam bars and wall mirrors.
Choose art or a special theme for your background, if dancing in your home. Many people put abstract paintings or themed scenery in their background to add substance to the video. Use regular or special lighting, such as a strobe light for effect.
Wear a costume or special dance clothes in your video. Make sure clothing is comfortable and dance appropriate. Don't wear clothing that makes you look like an amateur. Choose clothing that goes with the type of music you are dancing to, like hip hop-styled clothing for hip hop music.
Dance on a hardwood or tile floor. Don't dance on a rug or carpet. You will not be able to spin correctly or dance well on carpet in general. Study dance instruction videos if you are not a natural dancer in order to learn how to spin correctly and to pick up the basic moves of dance. Practice dancing in front of a mirror to get a feel for your own movement and choreography. Listen to the music that inspires you to move.
Place the camera in front of a large mirror if possible and film yourself dancing. Dancing in front of a mirror will enable you to see how well you are dancing while filming.
Save the dance video when finished and edit it to your liking using video editing software or the program that comes with your camera. Upload the video to online sites like YouTube if you want to share your dance video with the world.
