Probably the best arms I've seen lol. They create sick illusions independent of your hands. If I ever meet you, you'll have to teach me some steps in juking. But, yeah, you should be proud of yourself you got better quicker than anyone I've ever known.

eventually i did start trying to create new liquid again. my liquid started to look like this:

The parts where you were not repetitive and got more abstract blew my mind. I really like when people push the boundaries of flow, where it is not so obvious that one hand is following right behind another, but they are parts of a bigger, more complex structure. It is not often I see that. I think it would have been worth posting because you had plenty of those "blow-up" moments.

If you don't mind a quick critique, the only thing I would be careful of is the elbows, although I'm sure you've since thought about that already. Also, liquid doesn't always have to follow the succession of left elbow, left wrist, left hand, right hand, right wrist, right elbow. Some parts can be "stiff," depending on the context of the flow. I don't have a way to show you right now, but try thinking of it as flow being "external" to your arms. Your body is complementing the flow around your body and showing its shape and structure, rather than the flow forcing you to move in certain ways. In this sense, you can move how you want, as long this external structure is clearly communicated to the audience. You already do this sometimes, but I'm not sure you're aware of it, so I thought it was worth pointing out.

i dont want to come out of the womb just yet, i want to continue following other liquid dancers for atleast a little bit as i think trying to branch out on my own path too soon could hurt me given my limited knowledge.

I personally think you have more than a sufficient knowledge of flow to branch out on your own while you learn from others in the meantime. I don't think any good dancer really stops trying to learn from others as they find their own niche.

oh yea i'm always down for a critique :). and i have thought about what you described before(i think), maybe not in that way but umm, if u can lemme kno when my next clip comes any closer to what you are talking about

i may have worded that paragraph about my own path a little harshly lol. actually i think that was just me rambling now that i think about it.i dont feel that my desire to reinvent the wheel is nearly as strong as alot of you guys. but i dont think i'm going to stop trying to be creative. however, focusing too much on that usually leaves me more lost with my liquid than i'd like/want to be. I was jus trying to express that struggle and it came out sounding like poo :)

I must say, Tommy's stuff has been one of the bigger inspirations (read: the dude I bite the most from) because I share a very similar build and I want to get the arm illusions going in sort of the same way. I like the long flowing style as opposed to the contortionist looking stuff. It just fits my frame/build more, or it seems that way to me at this point.

Looking great, Tommy.

so i've been practicing a little less, partying a lil more, such is the cycle.

demf was great for my progression obviously, for the month or 2 afterwards i think my biggest influence was from drumcode. i was really facinated at how his arm extentions and wide elbow placement defined the space in front of him. ive been tryin to get the same effect as i think its pretty unique compared to most of the liquid dancers around. one thing is for sure it takes alot more muscle control and tension than what i was doing before. when practicing i feel that shit all up and down my back and abs

for the last month or so i've been getting slightly more comfortable with said arm angles and tension, which has allowed me to naturally create some new things but not much. i'm thinking after the caves i will start dedicating some time solely to new/experimental stuff again. the weather will be getting cooler again and i can break out the long sleeves(i can get away with alot more then)

some days when i practice i notice myself dancing in the same vein as joon/horrorshow/jia/other reflective dancers. which i categorize mostly by geometric angels/shapes and backside hand contours. i dont look like it everyday , just thought it was kinda wierd cause this hasnt been my intention i kinda stumbled into it. also i've kinda put tut intergration on the shelf for now, dont really have anything different from what you've seen in clips, i definitely plan on getting back to it tho, in the fall perhaps.
