HELP! i am physically incapable of floating! - 12-23-2008, 09:22 PM

you know floating right? AKA v-step, aka watever where you have ur toes facing diagonally outward and inward?

well, i CANT turn my toes inward! my ligaments/muscles get super tensed if i turn it inward more than the point where my feet are parallel!
funny thing is, even my mom can do it and shes no dancer! and wat else is funny is that i can point my toes in opposite directions and still keep on stretching it!

any HELP?


EDIT: I am NOT talking about c walking OR GLIDING. Floating is like where you put ur feet inward like /\ and outward \/. Its a foundational move that you see almost EVERY funkstyler use.

if u spend too much time thinking about something, you'll never get it done. But if you act without thinking, you'll get hurt~!

I'm assuming he means gliding.

I'll just start off by saying the majority rappers today have no intention of supporting hip-hop culture. If you don't support the culture, then you aren't really hip-hop.

No, it's either gliding or just the v. Where your feet go from \/ to /\ and back.

Actually, the way he describes it sounds a lot like the video, come to think of it.


If that's what you're here for man, you're in the WRONG place.

YESSS!!!! Thank you. This is what I meant except that this focuses on gliding more.
