How do I become really good at hip-hop dancing?

Question

Well I've been dancing for quite awhile, but when I see myself on tape, I am very unhappy by the way I look but people still say I'm "good" but it just doesn't matter. I look stiff I guess, I just look awkward and I don't know how to explain it. When I do the moves, what should I try to focus on, anything that can just explain or help me with tips.

When I dance for a performance, should I just relax my body the whole time so it doesnt look stiff? But if I do that then it will look weak?

I just need advice from pros or very expierenced dancers on what goes through their minds.

Thanks

Find a really good studio that's big on hip hop. Also just try not to think about the steps as you dance. Just let it come to you. Let it flow a little bit more. When i dance i just feel the music. Hope that helped:)
