nice clip!(only watched the liquid one)

+decent speed control/levels/not being repetitive
+nice digits as well

-as hydro said u have a big bottleneck going with elbow placement right now, your liquid is fairly wave based which isnt a bad thing but you still have to know when to have your elbows bent and when to keep them more rigid and straight(i.e. when your defining a horizontal line)
-your transitions in and out of liquid need work as well

:) keep it up dude i like what i see

Pretty much this

Just for the record, I do know that my popping and locking video isn't actually popping and locking, I just know that people search it a lot on youtube, and I want as many views as possible. I said so on the youtube clip, but forgot to put it on here hahaha

I am having a lot of trouble with my elbow placement at the moment, like you guys have said, it seems no matter what I do, they just don't seem to work very well, both in my normal dancing and when I do rails ect. If there is any personal tips anyone could give me it would be amazing. They are my bane at the moment!! Thanks guys, this website is the best thing to happen to my dancing since I started.

unfortunately i dont really have a framework or structure to give you for elbow placement it just took ALOT of trial and error practice time to understand. first off keep in mind that its not really just your elbow joint but rather your whole forearm that i'm talking about and the line it defines in space. go REALLY slow when you practice and/or intermittently freeze and look at ur elbows, ask are they adding or subtracting to the overall illusion and posture, then move ONLY your elbows to see if it looks better in another position. in my case i usually keep them straight as possible(recently been finding out this takes just as much wrist strength as it does for your elbows) and in line/parallel(sometimes perpendicular) with some other body part like my torso, legs, and the line ur shoulder to shoulder makes etc etc. this is more for linear-geometric based liquid tho i'm not sure if u wanna go that path. you could also just watch alot of clips and study how they use their elbows, personally i learned alot earlier on from watching drumcode/derailer, yejoon/dad, kai's older stuff, and sometimes popping clips. however most of the reflective heads and lpc also have exceptional elbow placement

do all this together and something will click. i promise :)


P.S.  cheat code: learn and drill proper kingtut(not turf/flex tutting) foundation

H2O - Liquid/Digitz (Dream Crew)

This is a little compilation clip my girlfriend put together. It's mainly old stuff with a tiny bit of new stuff. Not really puting it on her for critique, more for journalistic purposes. Although of course if you want to make any comments it's more than welcome.
