I would consider 多加 not as *increase* but as *apply more* here. Like *practice* in American English, 练习 can be used for both noun and verb. IMO if you say "多练习" it means increase+practice(v.) but "多加练习" means apply more+practice(n.)

<p>Quite authentic! Personally I prefer 我还需要多加练习 to 我还需要多练习 because it sounds a bit more polite and formal, appropriate for the situation when saying to the public. But the latter would suits more when you say to your friend in person.</p>

Are you saying that you want to practice dancing or uploading that video?

I will upload this video and then I want to say 'I need more practice' for the title/caption or as a response to the video or a text that can go along with the video if that makes sense?

我还需要多练习 (I still need to practice more) already expressed what you wanted to say, but the statement seem plain, and in a matter of fact tone.

我还需要多**加**练习 (I still need to **increase** practice **more**) . emphasize the keenness in your intention.

'加' in '我需要多加' (+ verb without object), just like your caption, is short for '增加' (increase)

If there was an object, then '加' would be short for '施加' or '加以' (apply to), for example, 对你的孩子**多加**管教 (**apply more** discipline to your child)
