Attempting to Dance in Front of Camera - 歸去來兮 花粥

I uploaded my first YouTube video yesterday! Making YouTube videos is something I've contemplated since I was a preteen (I think most of us who grew up with YT share that experience). I mean, I have made poetry videos in the past, but they appear to no longer exist (I don't even remember which email I used). I have attempted several times to make videos of just talking, but I struggle with stage fright.

I can have conversations with myself lasting hours, but stick a camera in front of me and I freeze. I can freestyle dance smoothly and elegantly (for an amateur), but when a camera's thrown into the mix, I go stiff and forget most moves I know, automatically repeating the same moves over and over.

I really want to connect more through YouTube. More dance videos, maybe some vlogs, essay and poetry readings, and hopefully I'll get up the nerve to make song recordings.

Anyhow, after years of wanting to make a video of myself dancing, I finally managed to make a clip that I feel is decent enough to start with. So, for my first YouTube video, I'm dancing to the song 歸去來兮, performed by 花粥.

I'm slowly trying to overcome my camera stage fright. Although I can see an improvement in myself, I'm still stiff and prone to freezing up and forgetting steps (at least I improvise when I do now, lol).

To be fair, I'm working with some particularly rocky terrain, and I danced to the song by memory, so I'm a little off, haha.
