Brit's dancing - then and now, what is different?

[HairFlipQueen]

Can anyone put into words what I mean? To me it seems like it purely was after her breakdown her dancing became very different but I can't explain how.  Not really thinking about the 'why' so much as the actual differences. 

It's not because of having children as if you watch the House of Blues performances she still has that same dancing style.  Even in her very early performances where she's singing live quite a lot, when she does dance she has that same way of doing it. 

 

Personally, I see the difference in the Womanizer and Circus performances onwards. Maybe the choreography? I guess I am interested in the 'why' as well.

The ONLY way I've been able to sum it up is this and I don't even know if it makes any sense : Her chilled, easy going/flowing  moves are now too rigid and stiff,  and her highly sharp moves are now too half assed and TOO relaxed. Out of rythym as well and 'messy'. Whereas before she made 'messy' look like it fit into the performance. 

It's so hard to explain, help!! 

[Spearsfan]

It looks like she is counting steps often. Like she doesn't practice enough. 

Also like you said she is stiff. The movements don't flow well. Example Slave...

She nailed it during BBMA because she did full swift movements but other performances it's like half assed. 

[none]

her confidence

before she looked like she was living through the performances, now even though she's enjoying it, you can tell it's more calculated

[jokobish]

Very stiff and lacks rhythm. Idk how that happens to a trained dancer though..

[jokobish]

Glimpses show sometimes. Like here she was feeling it and added her own flare when she grabbed her pu$$y and bounced lol

Her moves use to be sharp and well executed, it also never use to be mainly "armography"  like she does now, there's nothing wrong with how she dances now but when you compare it to the old style it's mediocre at best. 

[HairFlipQueen]

Yes that all makes sense, thank you! Confidence is a big issue definitely. I love that 'pu$$y grab' video lol, she looks really in the moment and the timing is on point too. 

It does look very calculated yes! Like she's just memorised the steps an hour before going on stage and did a rush job of learning them.

Whereas before it literally flowed out of her like water.

Absolutely, it's like she can't compete with herself 

[alexdaily]

She isn't fluid with her moves and she half ***** most of them 

[jokobish]

The stronger/crazy break is the stiffest I've ever seen her in my life it's so awful it needs to be taken out. It's such an easy dance to I don't get it

[Denise]

she is dancing more now but she lost her confidence

I believe it's a real possibility. My sister has psoriasis after her first child, and rheumatoid arthritis can be a complication from it. I know Kim K. has it. And when brit was doin xfactor she had the tell tale dry skin spot above her ankles..

[The Greatest Show]

Her back looks extremely stiff to me.  the only thing she dows fluidly is arm waving. Probably lack of practive doesnt help wither. Also she used to be a lot more detail focused. Her hands in Slave for example

If that is the case then vocals should be a focus. I mean...

This could be true, and if she has got that then I really feel for her - 2 family members I know have it and one is only 34 and he is in pain constantly. I just don't then understand how she looks so fluid in her rehearsal videos and in her jumps and hand walking videos she posts on her IG. 

 

Honestly, that Make Me footage of the original choreo is incredible and she's very close to her her prime dancing there.

Dancing basically requires

• Not to think much as in when you dance, you just think about the dance, the feels like nothing else matters. You don't count steps.
• Swag as in confidence. Britney had swag and it really shows during In The Zone era. And she had 'stank' face. 'Stank' face usually refers to face expression while performing - smug, smirk, look pissed, ***** face etc. It really spices up the dance. Britney's stank face was natural. Certain dancers overly done it that they look pretentious. She still has stank face but a bit different now.  I think her confidence is improving but she still count steps on most performances.
• Constant rehearse and training if you want to maintain your agility, sharpness, accuracy, fluidity, flexibility, creativity and more.
• Surround with good creative dancers and choreographer to lead, teach, challenge and nurture your love towards dancing.

she just doesn´t want to! that´s the main reason

the best example is work *****, look at how good the dances in the video compare to her live performaces

look a this step

0:48 (flawless)

 

4:02 (a little messy)

 

[celebration2009]

She looks like she's couting steps (VMAs) and she just doesn't have the same energy that turns a nice choreo into an amazing show (VMA 2000). She also barely moves her lower body anymore (BBMAs).

Load her up with RedBulls and I'm sure she could dance like Primeney again.

[Draw The Blinds]

She don't give a **** no more
