haven't posted a clip in a while.
« on: February 11, 2009, 06:24:39 PM »
it's been a little while since I've had the means to get a clip up on here.  Last week went out n got some new MiniDV's and this is what I recorded.  I'm hoping that I've improved since my last clip.  Really have been trying to straighten out my elbows and work on some unique angles.

I liked your handflow in this clip, I would like to see u get down to some faster/more intense music that permits you to apply that creative handflow to some larger, bigger liquid. I especially liked from 3:20-3:42  . But specifically I was really feelin that contour-ish thing at 3:40.  I'de like to see more stuff like that from u :)

Finally a clip I can see you in haha.


First off thanks for the musicality. I don't know if Joe Sixpack will notice it, but I noticed it and it was nice. It was the best part of your clip imo.

The thing I didn't like and it's carried over from your other clips is your body placement behind your hands. Your head was probably the most disruptive element for me. What's your take on it? Are you consciously doing something with your body that just isn't clear to me or are you going for comfort? Or to give you something more open ended to work with which do you prefer: striking a pose or hitting a groove with your body?

Seems like I get the most compliments on my musicality and I guess that's a good thing.

As far as how my head sits while I'm dancing I have nothing to offer.  I dance and it would seem when I dance "the liquid" I focus a lot on the space in front of me.  I know that I try to isolate my neck around the illusion I'm creating with my hands a lot.  It seems like it will change the positioning in which the dance will be presented.  To be the most honest I can, when I session by myself I'm sort of like a blank canvas and do as my body wants to do.  I find that when I dance in public (parties, clubs, streets) I'll catch looks from people and become inspired.  So when i'm doing these things alone I'm sort of shooting in the dark.  Which for me is good because I get an isolated perspective on my dancing, then if there is a clip I dig I put it up to get some feedback.

if you go in my journey post, I have a clip where I jam to a rock track and then a laser sword track.

What are hides?

yea that dex...a hard clip to liquid too, i'm not sure i could rock it without resorting to waving a whooole lot.

i'm agreein with all scotts points on this one, you DEFINITELY have strong points in contours and high energy and big moves and i'd like to see you utilize that more(i know high energy was hard todo on this track but just sayin in generals).

 i do see improvements in your elbow straitness, imo you should try to keep your shoulders level as well(unless your pulling a big move) as they accentuate ur tallness and the rest of your arm more, its somethin i been paying alot of attention to for myself.

lastly, i'd like to see some of your tutting influence in your liquid :).....me and kai are NOT trying to secretly turn this into a tutting site....but the shit just works :)

was actually working with a lot of tutting in the other clips from the night.  I'll get something up within the next few weeks...see how long I can go with tutting.

Next track I dance to is going to be HARDCORE!!! get them BPM soaring!

nice to be able to link the vocab to the motion...now maybe I can duplicate.  I did stumble across a really dope figure 8 motion with tutting two nights ago.  See if it doesn't come out another night that I record.
