Choose a performance video clip or a tutorial of a dance move that you want to learn and go to it on your computer.
Choose a space large enough to dance and practice your new hip-hop moves. For safety and convenience, give yourself a foot more space than you think you'll need on each side, if possible.
Arrange your computer screen and your mirror so that you can see both while practicing. It is very important to be able to watch the tutorial instructor as you try a new move, and it is helpful to be able to see what your own body is doing right and wrong.
Wear clothes and shoes appropriate to the types of moves you want to learn. You should be able to move freely.
Watch your chosen tutorial or video clip once or twice before attempting the moves or following the lesson. This way, you will be mentally prepared for each step as it is introduced.
Play the clip or tutorial again and follow along, repeating as many times as necessary, until you feel you have gotten it.
Practice the move without the clip playing while you listen to music and just enjoy the dance.
