Vinh Nguyen’s movement is complex, expressive, and built on the kind of control that takes time to master. If you’ve ever watched him dance, or had the chance to learn from him, you know it’s not just about what the movement is, but how it’s executed.

Whether you’re new to his choreography or gearing up for another round, here are five tips straight from Vinh himself to help you get the most out of his class.

1. Get Comfortable with Weight Changes

Vinh is known for his dynamic and sometimes unexpected weight shifts. So if you’re feeling off balance? That’s part of the process. Don’t stress, it’s totally normal. Allow yourself the patience and grace to adjust as you go. The more time you spend with the movement, the more grounded you’ll become.

2. Take It Slow

There’s no need to rush. Vinh encourages dancers to take things at their own pace. Slow it down, give yourself time to breathe, and focus on understanding the textures and transitions. Progress doesn’t happen overnight—but with patience, it always comes.

3. Embrace Your Individual Execution

Every dancer’s body moves differently. Vinh reminds us to embrace that. Instead of trying to mimic movement perfectly, focus on how it feels in your body. Authenticity in execution is part of what makes dance so powerful—lean into it.

4. Do a Little Homework

Some of the best learning happens after class. Vinh shares that he learns the most when he takes time to review, digest, and pick things apart over several days. Revisit footage, break down sequences, and give yourself space to absorb the details.

5. Find Power in the Details

Struggling with a move? Zoom in. Vinh’s final tip is all about slowing down and really analyzing the small stuff—what muscles are activating, how your body is transitioning, how much speed or tension is required. Once you understand those fine-tuned mechanics, the rest starts to click.
