YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahaha, so glad to finally see a clip from ya.  I was digging how you incorporated some of that "maxi" into your foot work.

K, Biggest thing that I noticed was a lot of start and stop...seemed like there were a few times you really settled into a flow.  I liked the way you flipped a couple of your tutts across(2:29) actually was really digging everything past 2 minutes a lot.

Can't wait to see the progression :)

do you have any specific concepts or ideas that ur gonna focus on? or just goin for general improvement .

i thought ur style was noticeably slower and had less energy than the track(nice track btw). you have a nice constant speed that gives off a certain illusion, comparable to distortion, he's also been saying lately that he has problems with musicality tho. kai used to tell me its more about the tempo with reguards to liquid musicality, imo thats only partially correct, and why he now mainly deals with short and direct movements to represent sounds. if you want to improve yours you are either going to have to work in speed changes, or plan ahead more efficiently so that your bigger combinations start and end on a beat..

some other minor areas i thought u could use some help in was dropped hands, broken flow, and lack of rails(lol =x) this stuff is not really me critiquing ur vid tho, rather its more or less what I would do if i were in ur shoes. i found the rest of the clip solid. your foundtation for footwork and movement pwns myself and most other cats here, and your spatial shit is disturbingly creative :), you along with houdoken and tiny are the reason i'm so interested in the stuff at the moment. so yea please keep doin ur thing in that respect, u will make alot of pandas sad if you dont.

cant wait to see the improved versi0n :)

Good work.

I could type out a big, long critique but I don't have the time ATM.

Pay attention to your joint positioning (wrists/elbows etc) during flow.

Be more disciplined with your hand positions (flat hand/cupped hands/claw/whatever etc)

Keep up the good work and keep dancing!

thanks for the comments guys.
 
as far as what I am going to work on:

better musicality
cleaner isolation of handwaves and hand positioning
longer railz with more logical progression

man that was cool! I was really wishing you could've hit a few beats, but oh well.

 Ur approach to liquid is sick! I love the fact that ur ideas are ahead of ur technical ability.

Keep using the floor! thats rad. i think liquid has huge potential with floor work.
