wow dude you're already pushing it hard. you have nice tricks, excellent movement control, you just need to work on your hand flow, but everything else is enjoyable to watch. try to get music in next time. the levers were good (im sure kai would give better advice on those).

as you said more variation would be good but you have a lot at your disposal

Wow, great start. But it isn't dancing without music. Use earbuds and dub it over if you have to be quiet.

The issue that jumps out at me is isolation. You are doing a lot of neat motions with your arms, but unnecessarily dragging a lot of your body along with it. For practice, try not moving any part of your body except your arms. That is not to say to throw out all that extraneous movement completely, but first work on isolation, then bring all that torso and leg movement back in a more controlled and cleaner manner.

I am curious though, in that circumstance do you consider it more like mime work, or is it more of a "vocals without music is just poetry" sort of thing?

I am not sure what to call it, but it is not dancing.
And singing is music by itself.

nice to see u finally post some stuff :)

i dont think u need to focus on variation at all, you used alot of the space around you as well as vertical levels and werent repetitive with your ideas. as kai noted, spatial isolation is ur strongpoint, i'm assuming u got most of that from CJ

the areas that need the most work are handflow, posture, and isolation. handflow is a no brainer just drill handwave/rails/splits. dont just do them though think about it and try to understand whats going on with the space around and between ur hands as you do different variations.

with posture, u can start with straitening up the back and keeping your head up. i'd say for now keep ur fingers closer together and ur thumbs tucked until you gain more experience, u had alot of weird/bad hand postures in the clip but it isnt uncommon. the goal here is to not have your body making any line that distracts from the line/space that you are isolating with your arms and hands. make clean angles(0,45,90, etc) with everything.

moses already touched on isolation. i will just say keep in mind that isolation is a big part of liquids illusion, and that the strength of any isolation comes from how controlled the part thats moving is, and the stillness of the parts that arent.

okay wtf  0_o  that's the most creative thing I've seen in awhile... just trying to keep up with how the ball was transitioning was mind molesting me lol
