New Vid that needs critique I guess ^^;'

First time popping in 5 months! XD But no excuses are allowed so critique as you see fit. Except for 1, Im a guy!! >:O i had to use the hat to put my hair back cuz it was bothering me. Oh and also I had a lot of footwork in there, just didn't get on tape T-T

[EDIT]
I know it's bad but try to bare with me folks >.>;'

i like. i use to be a fan of popping never thought it was for me tho. wonder how good you were when you stopped 5 months ago!

********* count the stars

Poppin_Tofu · 11:45 PM

Not that good. But ill try to relearn some stuff and make a new vid tommorow. Somewhere where you can see my hits and leg movement and probably 4.5/10 stars if thats what your wondering. If not probably less. I still had a long ways to go. I was pretty much this

5 months ago.

hey man, you might want to try recording in better lighting. but from what i saw, it wasnt bad.

Poppin_Tofu · 10-04-2006, 11:43 PM

I think it's pretty bad, i forgot my angles, some boogaloo i learned before. From a very experienced dancer, i'm pretty sure they'd see what i'm talking about. But there's only one thing to do. And that is to fix what you already know you have to work on.

I liked you better 5 months ago then now... you had more control, crisper hits, and you were slowed down, but you were offbeat in it. (Unless you dubbed it or youtube messed it up)

But your 6 step and Cc's on your myspace look dope.

On your video : slow down. work on isolations (which is what im doing)

That's why I drifted away from popping. I got into bboying for the past 5 months. And as for the hits, I would blame the hoody ( it was one of those rain coat thingies ) but i probably just wasn't hitting hard as I usually would. But you know what they say, practice makes perfect. And yes i did dub the song on that video. But youtube screwed it up even more lmao

lightning was kind of poor so i dont think i can critique you very well
but i will say,
major props on busting Earth Wind and Fire...they are so awesome. (i'm a huge disco/70's/soul fan)

Poppin_Tofu · 10-05-2006, 01:59 PM

Ofcourse i'd dance to earth wind and fire. I love september! One of my all time favorite songs. It's actually the only song that makes me dance no matter what location im in ( They played it in GYM one day and whew... what fun I had XD ). And im a fan of the disco/70's too ^^ Earth Wind and Fire FTW!! ^^

Anyways, minding the raincoat, you still dont look like your hitting very hard, maybe next time you should wear a white tee or justa normal shirt, but then again, videos dont do you justice...

but, I suggest working on your popping because just like "#1coolkid", since you guys both stopped and worked on other things more then popping, your skill has slowly decreased and now you need to work on bboying and popping just the same amount, it MIGHT help.

from the part that i could see (missing that critical footwork in the vid and blacl on black made it hard to see what you were doing) you CAN hit hard (though you could be hitting harder), you have some good style, flow and moves.
Like it was said above though, slowing down and asolating will make more out of your moves, make each one count more. don't worry about making a move McFlurry, just make even a few simple moves crisp and precise. Popping is heavily reliant upon clean TECHNIQUE. Another thing is, on some of your moves, they would look WAY better if you cleaned up the all the angles. Rotate/spin your wrists between poses on those angular/tutty ones and keep your hands flat. if that "hookhand"/ curled wrist/fingers thing is your signiture, that's cool, but sharp/clean angles and flat, rotating hands always look great with the kinds of moves you are doing.
keep up the good work and don't slow down, cause you're good, i can tell, and i slack way too much.
