check it out, the only thing that makes you a good dancer is if it looks good, and what looks good usually feels good, go out and get some "E" to take the easy way out, sit down and groove to the music, let it go through your body and just feel whatever comes, then watch a video, newjersey liquid pop collective is the shit, watch them groove to their music and try to understand how they probably feel while they are dancing, then get up and try the wave, either popwave or liquid wave, but always keep the beat, fuck going FAST! just go with the rythm, popping is also very important if you want to look good so dont be basic, go big and learn both. with pop the most important advise you will ever get is this, you needn't follow every jungle beat you hear. when you listen to D N'B, notice that there are several house'like beats going at once, find one, for example, the snare's, and just throw your body in a different direction everytime it hits, next step is learning to throw different portions of your body at once in different directions and when your body is fully extended, go the other direction. hopefully you have seen at least the basic body wave for pop, try this until it looks good, the basic pivots are the knuckles, the wrist, elbow, shoulder, neck and then either across to the other arm or down the chest to your knees, always move your knees, then learn to reverse it, now incorporate your steps for the wave with your ability to throw you body and really exaggerate every step, it WILL look dumb, but the more you do this the more you will learn about what looks good, ALWAYS IN FRONT OF A MIRROR, like i said, what looks good, is good. Now never stop playing with this, even as you learn basic liquid be sure to throw your body around a bit, then try to pop to a beat. this is the hardest part because by now you have completely lost the beat learning to wave. each pivot gets a snare now. this si the simplest way to start, later you will be pivoting to different noises but that is WAY off. okay, now you need to perfect liquid. follow your fingers and use pop. next use your knees to follow your liquid, learn to stand with one knee bentout to the right or left. whenever your hands are extended in these directions your knees should be out there too, this will give the image of actually dancing versus playing with your hands. if you have the abilities to learn how to glide then do so, hopefully you know what that is, but if not, ask someone who can dance really well, they will happily tell or show you, use glides, liquid, popping, waves together for the ultimate TrIpPy effect. I know that i sound arrogant but i am a really really good dancer and am looking forward to trying out for the NJLPC sometime this year. still, the most important things are to exaggerate your steps, always follow the beat, use everything you know together at once, move your whole fucking body (Not just your hands) always feel the music like candy kid above me says, do NOT assosciate drugs with dancing, drugs are to be assosciated with music only to feel the beat. do not give up on moves because they hurt, the best looking moves require pulled muscles, and weeks of soreness, when you strengthen these muscles, you will have the ability to do things that look unique to the eye of others because they simply haven't seen anyone else do that. the worst will be your ankles, when learning to glide you will have to hurt them until they are strong enough to support and push your body weight in awkward stances and directions, but the glide is one of the most illusional moves that exist. just keep fucking trying no matter what, when you fidget, make
it productive and try a basic liquid step, or stand on point for as long as you can, anything that is productive, you will eventually look like a basic liquid-popper, from there you are free to experement as you please until you truly have a technique all your own, i look forward to seeing you at a club or party sometime soon shredding the floor, I will be pleased to annihilate your ass right there on the dancefloor, but afterwards i will teach you how i did it. PEACE the fuck OUT
