helloo! I'm leia and I teach k-pop dances! check out my play
LETS CATCH UP π₯Ήπ€
hey everyone!! as you may've noticed, I've been a bit on and off with my tutorials lately. I felt a need to give myself a little break from K-Pop as a whole (both dancing and listening). I've been a fan for 9 years and making videos for 8 years, so sometimes a temporary break is needed to feel refreshed afterwards. I'm also trying to be strict with not forcing myself to teach songs/dances that I don't particularly enjoy, as this is what can lead to a slump.
we're in a new month now and I'm at a place where I'm ready to jump back in - I'VE MISSED TEACHING YOU GUYS! let me know what you guys want to learn! I'm thinking maybe ILLIT, BABYMON? π <3
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 900K GUYS!!! π€ your continued support on my tutorials means so much π
this week also marked 8yrs since I posted my first youtube video WHICH IS CRAZYYY! can you believe I was 14!? π₯Ή no matter which year you joined me on the channel, I LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH! <3

hey lovesss!!! it's been a while!! I feel like there was definitely a kpop drought in september/early october - everyone was so quiet loll. as some of you may know, I was going through some issues with my neck so this allowed me to rest anyway. thank you for your sweet messages guys! I'm doing a lot better and got the rest I needed π during the quiet kpop period, I decided to try out self-choreography for non-kpop songs. if you want to see more of that content, its on my instagram @leianity <3

β€οΈβπ©Ή health note: for the last 6 weeks, I've been experiencing some really intense strain and pain in my neck. it's definitely affected me when I edit and also when I learn dances sometimes. I've been receiving treatment for it and I'm slowly improving each week, but I still have my off days. I just wanted to make you guys aware in case I miss comebacks or if I'm a bit late to uploading.
I want to give a massive thank you to those who donate through YouTube Super Thanks $ or through Patreon. as I always mention, every single donation goes towards funding my channel, whether that be towards physical items (i.e. equipment, editing technology) or non-tangible things (i.e. studio hire fees, treatments for when I get injured). I've had to regularly get treatment recently so I want you to know that I'm incredibly grateful for your subscriptions, donations, generosity and support that you offer me each month π <3
NEXT TUTORIAL π
β jeon somi 'fast forward'
β difficulty: 7/10 (intermediate)
β teaching: both chorus versions
the *almost* TWO YEAR wait for a somi comeback is over!!! I know this type of genre isn't everyone's taste but I LOVE IT!! so dancey and energetic! plus 'fast forward' is probably the most british kpop song everπ€£π«Άπ½ if you're from the UK, you know what I mean - this would be all over the radio if it was promoted here
I'll be teaching both challenge versions - the one where she faces the front and the one where faces the side :)
stay tuned for the tutorials tomorrow & friday! π₯β©
EDIT: forgot to mention, I've filmed 5 weeks straight so I'm taking a little break next week and will be back the week after <3

for any questions about why I no longer make full tutorials, pls see the pinned comment on any of my recent videos, thanks π€
guys we reached 800k a couple days ago and Iβm still so overwhelmed π my channel and community has never grown so much than it has in the last 6-8 monthsβ¦ I still canβt believe it sometimes. I canβt believe that Iβm able to help others with their dancing and confidence π€
thank you to those who have supported me in my shift from full tutorials to highlight tutorials. this was a really difficult decision to make but it has honestly been amazing for my physical and mental health. I have found so much happiness and balance in this routine. even to those who stopped watching/learning after I made this change, thank you for supporting me throughout my full tutorial era!!
THANK YOU and I really mean it! letβs keep growing strong! LOVE U DREAMLEES βοΈβ¨
NEXT TUTORIAL π
β itzy 'cake'
βΒ difficulty: 7/10 (intermediate)
βΒ teaching: chorus & hook
my ults are back!! π₯Ή who else has been OBSESSED with itzy's new album!?? every single song is so so good!! what was your fave song on the album? I've had 'bratty' on repeat so much these last few days π€©
I'm really loving this comeback and 'cake' was such a fun dance to learn and teach this week! just FYI, I'll be following the 2nd chorus and 2nd hook as this is the version that ITZY have been doing the most for their social media dance challenges :)) stay tuned for the tutorials tomorrow & saturday! π°

NEXT TUTORIAL π
β newjeans 'eta'
β difficulty: 8/10 (high-intermediate)
β teaching: both choruses & hooks
I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG & DANCE!!! I was soo excited to learn it and it did not disappoint! π₯Ή if you're exhausted from learning 'super shy' then don't worry! this dance is not as fast as 'super shy' so it'll feel a little more easy-going, but you'll definitely need the same level of energy :')
the tutorials should be posted tomorrow & friday!! <3

NEXT TUTORIAL π
β jungkook 'seven'
β difficulty: 6/10 (intermediate)
β chorus part
next up I'll be teaching the chorus of jungkook's solo, which I love sooo much! π₯Ή this choreography is honestly borderline beginner level (especially when done slowly) but thought I'd give it 6/10 because it can feel a little fast at first when putting the hands and feet movements together :')
I'll be posting the tutorials in a couple days so stay tuned!
