to me.. dancing is just however your body choses to move to the music!
i can't be preoccupied with trying to stick to a dance style when the beats are pumping...
but i have seen some crazy and its pretty sweet...
Liquid is crazy.. especially when its done properly.. there was a crazy video on here last summer i believe of a guy doing some crazy liquid moves.. maybe someone still has it and can post it!

yeah I posted that video.
I dance liquid....It works out like this :
I go to a party playing house, I dance liquid. I either have people look at me funny because house and liquid don't usually match, or I have people who like to watch. Either way, I go to a corner and try not to get looked at.
I can probably find that video in my archive somewhere, and it's sort of a liquid/gliding/waving video. I'm learning waving and gliding [actually getting better at it, not just learning anymore] but it's hard to test out it's club-worthiness when there's never enough room to break out the big moves.
And I'm all for dancing of a specific style, to me, I started by watching other people go nuts, then tried to emulate it, and eventually you reach a point where you can create your own unique style of dance for yourself. It's just a different path to becoming a good dancer.
It's just become increasingly rare to find someone who has really put a lot of time into dancing to get inspired anymore. I can remember when I first tried my hands at glowsticking in the old rave days, the amount of crazy talent some people in the toronto crowds had was nuts. |

BAHAHAH
Get me to show you the "less is more" dance... |
This is a great dance. I wholeheartedly support the use of this dance 'en masse' in a club. Especially right in front of the booth just to freak the DJ out. Works even better when you have a possessed look on your face [or if you're just munted beyond control] |

agreeed completely. its rare to see anyone who can beat anything more then a figure 8 with glowsticks anymore. and if they throw a roll into it, they're automatically better then 95% of the others lol.
liquiding, hah love it. but its even more dead then sticking. sad really, good liquiding is harder then sticking.
eventually as you watch and adapt newer and different styles you become a style yourself. thats why sometimes when u see people, u can tell if they dance/practice around each other. certain moves/styles just catch your eye.
its not about whos best. its about learning, sharing skill and having fun.
but i completely agree ^^

i think it's kinda wierd to try to dance a certain "style". like sorry, but why? just dance cos you like the music and how you feel! like how does one "put time into dancing"? what - are you supposed to have some sort of memorized routine or something?! yikes.
jazz hands!!!!!!!!! |

Because you enjoy the feeling of flow with respect to that style. Some people are content to simply jump up and down, I am not.
Putting time in to really smoothe things out, to learn basics forms and movements, and learning to link them together, and hopefully progressing to the point where you come up with your own style which you are satisfied with.
It isn't about memorized routines, in fact it's the opposite. It's progressing to the point where you can freely do whatever your mind can conjure up while still being able to say 'yeah that's liquid', 'yeah, that's glowstick tracing', or 'yeah that's locking'.
It's a really rewarding and challenging way, at least for me, to enjoy the music I'm listing to, because I feel the rythem the same as the rest of you, I just like going about it in a somewhat more organized manner, and seeing how much I can push the look of what I'm doing given certain unwritten boundaries of the style.
Asking why I enjoy dancing a certain style would be like asking why someone chooses one profession over another. The reasons are so numerous and varied from person to person that it would be impossible and completely arbitrary to answer.
Dancing well is just as legitimate an art as the music itself, it just happens that they go hand in hand with each other. So the same way music has beats and rythems, so too does dancing have it's own styles and forms. Besides, we're all going to these parties to dance, and it's not like those who can perform certain styles go and snicker at those who don't, but it is nice to be able to observe and respect those who have put effort into putting a complex set of movments to the motion of music. Well at least for me. |
