DANCE STYLE GUIDES (LIQUID, BREAK, ETC)

Sorry for sounding naive, but what is LIQUID DANCING? That SHUTUPDANCE site is down.... is this dancing for hardhouse/trance or what the?!?!
 
Bumpmek: Liquid dancing, obviously, is a style of dance. The premise behind it is to make it appear as if you're body is liquid.
I.E. very smooth and flowing, through all parts of your body. And yes, generally it seems to lend itself to trance music when implemented, but those truly skilled at it can adapt it and dance to many styles of music with it.
Although i don't see how one could possibly dance to jungle using liquid, i guess its possible but, mmmm doesnt seem right.

PS: only the forums on S.A.D. are working, theres some pretty good info in that forum though.
 
yeah, the SAD forum is PACKED full of knowledge - that's where I learned to liquid from. Some of the dancers know a lot of shit - Philosopop especially (history, moves etc). Ask him if you need help, or maybe I could help ya out. I wanna put a video of my dancing, but I don't have a digital camera, just a normal one. People say I'm pritty good, but that was when I was dedicated to it. Now I don't have any time.

Listen to it, feel it flow through you. Let it caress your body, embrace your spirit. Flow with it, become the dancer and the dance, be the music. Close your eyes and get lost in the moment. Forget that the universe exists. The only things that are real are you, and the music. Move with it, let it take you on a journey. Reach enlightment on the dancefloor
Fuck yeah. :D

wow, it's good to see that Liquid is getting known around Australia.
I live on da Gold Coast, being doing Liquid for about 8 months.
Recently I went down to Sydney and met a couple of wicked liquid dancers at Utopia. It's really a great experience to finally see someone busting moves in real life....u can definetely progress quicker by watching other dancers.
Well, if anyone is ever in the South-East QLD area and they're lookin' to share some skillz, drop me a line...
if not, i'll see y'all back in Sydney one day ;)
oh yeah, while i was down in Sydney i went on Room208 on Channel V doing some liquid...they don't film the show very well so it looked like crap...but yeah.
 
What's up everybody?
I'm new to this board... thanks for the link liquid meth ;)
I've been dancing for about 7 months....
liquiding, waving, popping, boogaloo, strobing, some tickin and tuttin.
Just wanted to say a big shout out to all those dancers representing liquid or boogaloo.
No doubt the two TIGHTEST styles out.... if anyone wants to dance, get down, share moves... whatever
(brissy - gc coasters)
I'm also looking for some party people to hit up raves and parties with. Haven't been since I turned 18, anyone know
any mad events?
get at me :)

Hey all,
just wanted to add my 2c that Black Ice is the schmoovest liquid dancer I've ever had the pleasure of boogying with. I've been imitating his skills for a while but my fucked up lungs cant keep it up for long enough.
On the topic of the melbourne shuffle, theres a story on ITM at the mo'about the history of the melbourne shuffle.
Personally, I have 3 styles of dancing, psytrancey allovathaplace grooving, happyhard aerobics stomping and my personal fave, breakbeat boogying. Oh, and the drunken house music sway.
I'm keen too to upgrade my liquid skillz to acompany my new foray into firetwirling, that shit is fun. There is a group who practice twirling in glebe point park on thursday nights if any of u bluelighters are innarested.
Oh, finally, I can also testify that Addikals skillz are profound on the floor, and the breaking classes at sydney uni are well worth the $. I stopped going tho cause I fucked my shoulder up trying to learn babyfreezes to spins. It still hurts and cracks were it shouldnt.
increase tha peace and out.
 
I must admit even though I'm from Sydney that the Melbourne shuffle is pretty cool and funkie. There is a ITM stream of the thing if Ur interested. As far as dance styles are concerned I don't really have one, I just lost in the music. Have tried learning but... it's too hard to pre conceive Ur moves, rather let it flow.
All I can say is i totally agree wit ya Fetish_Jester and evil calvin.
In saying so I give credit where credits due, all those ppl with liquied and breaks skills are cool. But what happen to house dance moves.
Although the hardest dance moves I've tried to mimick would be d&b I have no sense of co ordination and creativity when it comes to that music.
PeaceOut
 
To see the shuffle go to inthemix.com.au then go to itm tv, the shuffle vid is there. Give it a few goes at different times - I've had trouble downloading it occasionally. Well worth the effort, though I wish they had focussed more on the dancer's feet and had better lighting - it's tough work teaching yourself to shuffle from a badly lit vid that 2" square ;) . Damn but I want to master it and show these Brits what real dancing looks like!
As to liquid - the only person I met who could do it at all was a Canadian who told me that over there there's plenty of people who can do it.
