Just a thought I've had about your style today. Part of the thing that isn't making your body line up correctly is your foot placement. Try and line up your feet with your shoulders so you don't have to cover as much space when you move. It will also help with your center of gravity.

 I don't know about that one, I actually just told joon kinda the opposite of what your saying.
I think he comes to his "base position" with the feet lined up directly under shoulders, a bit to often. I told him to try to get away from that and instead of taking step, then stepping back into that base position.....  he should go somewhere else with it. Its kinda boring when you watch someone and they always end up back in the same pose in between steps, with the feet lined up under the shoulders. I know with clips people tend to dance in a direction (towards the camera) but I think even when a camera is on, projecting your dance in a 360 degree manor is always going to look better. (unless your doing digitz) 
 
 If you always end up back in that base pose, your going to end up repeating a lot. But the same exact liquid movement can be presented in a whole new way just by the position of your feet/legs and vertical level being changed.

Sorry I should've put this in his journey thread. I was specifically thinking of this clip.




I think it would look a lot better if he brought his feet closer together. But yes you're right too. Actually probably more so with what his arms are doing in this thread's original clip.

Definitely working on this now that you pointed it out.

Holy crap, that made all the difference in the world in the dance portion of my orbital liquid! :D

Thanks for these suggestions, what would I do without you guys?

OK, so I tried anything and everything over this past month, weirder digital liquid to jacking to orbital to robot, to find what I wanted in my first clip. I don't feel like I'm 'there' yet, but I do like a lot of what I managed to come up with. I wish I had seen that Tiger sequential instructional earlier, but thems the breaks. Some parts still look a little awkward, but I think it is less awkward than it was.



I'm probably going to continue working on this a little more until it is polished and I have more variation in flow, levels, and angles, but after that, I think I am going to see how I can apply this and the sequential idea to my digital liquid.
