wow, what a coincidence, i was out for beers earlier tonight and had so many conversations about liquid...

FunkyCrew actually posted a vid back when this thread had started of a guy named David Elsewhere, he's known for his own take on liquid...only thing is with him, if you're battling someone, his moves are great and all, but in a club, its not something you'd be doing for hours and hours...if you look at someone like liquid eric for example, thats one take on liquid you could use all night.

I Know a guy who watching his take on liquid, would actually make you sick. his routine is doing all these motions like he's eating something, like he's about to throw up, even like he's pulling out his intestines, its sick shit that fucks you up, but damn cool little twist on it.

i'll post some vids of David elsewhere Bernal, I have a good collection of them, and also some of liquid eric in a few minutes. it gives you a good representation of the differences between the two, and i also have a video called "liquid tutorial" from liquid Pop Collective i'll post as well hoping you find it helpful in some way.

"Even me?" she said.
I thought, "Oh right, if I categorically eliminate all other people, it's just me and her. She'd like that.
"Especially you" I said.
"You are virtually the ring leader, the way I see it."
Then, I blew out the candle.

DAVID ELSEWHERE:

I Suggest you watch them all, but the last one is by far the best one, as the saying goes, save the best for last, its from David's earlier days, and shows some really sick conceptual stuff that you dont see in the other vids













This one is nothing too out of the ordinary from the others, but the editing and music (telephasic workshop) make it stand out to me







This is a good one, it almost makes you feel like theres something wronmg with him, like he's some sorta wierdo, good little clip.







tune in the one below is also by 'boards of canada'



Last but certainly not least, this is by far the sickest elsewhere vid out there, crazy shit.

Hey, thanks! Is Eric the vid I saw at the start of this thread somewhere, the guy in front of the arcade game? That, especially towards the end, was sick. And the other vid posted, the liquid guy with the fro. I loved it.

At least I know I'm sorta on the right track now, I actually found an example of what style I'm trying to find instruction on, the You Tube link I posted of the Mitsubishi girl. I like that because it has the sharp "freeze" element to it, which I guess would be the locking...and but it also have very loose and smooth elements to it. Some of the other pop-locking vids I've just seen are not really for me, they're a little too all over the place. I like the smooth intensity of the other.

Now I have to find out what snapping is. One night when I was dancing, there was a huge group breaking a few feet away from where I was (I don't break, obviously), and one of the guys came up to me out of nowhere and asked if he could dance with me. Apparently something about the way I was moving made him ask me if I would snap, or rather, he asked me if I could snap. I have no idea what that is.

Liquid Pop Collective Videos:

these include Liquid Eric:













i think thats all i wanted to post.

He is insane!!


I LOVE the first one. Thanks for posting these. I'm on a slow connection, but I will definitely get through all of these.

That's exactly what my friend said when I showed him a video lol

I've always been more of a shuffle guy, not exactly like the melbourne shuffle, but kinda similar.

I've also been getting into liquiding as of late, watching eric's videos on youtube just make me go . I'm trying to learn off his vids and tutorial, so far so good. It's making the whole body flow together and continuously that make it so hard - connecting your bottom half to top half in a fluid motion!

Does any one have any good footwork vids?

I can't believe nobody has thrown out some of the Jump style dancing... hilarious yet awesome at the same time if it's done right.

This video is hands down the best dance video around.



Another superb video.
