Hello Kai,
 
I am sorry for my late response, but I did read your letter and appreciate your words greatly. I first really started to hear about Liquid and Digits three or four year when when I posted a video on Superhandz.com and called it EXTREME DIGITS. I felt doing my finger dancing as fast as possible was taking it to more of an extreme so I called it Extreme Digits. A few people emailed me then tell me about Digits. A couple of people were a little upset as they felt I was steeling their movement or something or trying to take credit for something they were doing - which I had not intended to do at all.
 
I can honestly tell you that most of what I developed on my own. I feel my type of finger dancing - finger ballet - digital dancing  - extreme digits is very straight ahead compared to what you guys do. I have watched some of the videos and have been inspired myself. I have not studied it but feel if I really did it could give me some very good ideas. I consider the Finger Fitness exercise program I have put out to simply be a way to structure all of the movements of the hand into a series of exercises that makes sense. When I watched some of the video from DIGITS I think it is so cool. I think what you guys do is more mental, very very COOL! I do feel if some of you digital dancers would incorporate some of the bending and splitting routines it could ROCK even more.
 
I was also in contact a few years before that with a couple of people who were doing digits. I did my first Finger Ballet on the Tonight Show in November of 1988. I developed it early that Summer for the first video I put out called "The Art of Finger Control" .
 
You can see a lot of these videos at www.youtube.com/gregirwin2008 
 
I hope this helps. I would be happy to answer any questions you have and help or assist you guys in anyway.
 
Have a Happy Holidays!
