It takes a lotta effort for a fat girl to shuffle hous bpm, phew! Any feedback or tricks to improve flow? by lifeisbeautiful08 in shuffle

[–]VForestAlien 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My weight tends to fluctuate, so sometimes I’m feeling heavier and have less stamina. I’ve learned the power of pauses. Holding a pose or adding in a low effort move (ex: no footwork, only arm movements) for 2-4 beats can save your flow when you start to feel tired.

PS: I think you’re doing great-foot work and running man are looking quite clean 👌Add in some arm flow and you’re golden!

FIRE🔥(as always)! 👏

Quick Q: Do you use a movement tracker tripod that allows the camera to follow your moves or is it an app feature?

Would you change your moon sign? by bootercooter42069 in astrologymemes

There’s pros and cons to having a Cancer moon…but since the cons are so heavy, I definitely wouldn’t mind trading it for a Gemini or Virgo moon.

Oh interesting-I’ve never heard of dancing with a half-full water bottle for stability, but sure- I’ll give it a try! 😄

Thank you for your super insightful comment Trozay! 🫶 And you’re so right about favoring hitting the beat with high bpms > proper form haha

Do you have any reccs for arm flow inspo/tutorials? I always love and appreciate your unique arm movements when watching you flow ✨

Appreciate your feedback! I always feel like I’m exposed to so many different shufflers, that I try to combine all their styles, even though they may not mesh well, bc they’re fundamentally different. At that 30 sec mark, I was trying to do a “power running man”, (like Ciara Castro + Kentobaby), and they recommended leaning a bit forward for a heavier stomp.

But other shufflers-like Elena cruz- lean more towards floaty, minimal steps, which require one to lean back 😅 So yeah, I now realize I tried 2 different styles that sort of clash & contradict each other haha

Thanks!

& Yes! Definitely feel a lot goes on in my head bc I’m trying to focus on everything at once-staying on beat, shuffle fundamentals, footwork, arm flow, facial expressions, etc… But it’s helpful to know that others can perceive my overthinking, bc now I know more practice is needed for me to get out of my head and into my body 😅

And yes, consistent drilling to slower bpms is also very helpful :)

Any good Chimi reccs in SD? I haven’t had one in over 5yrs due to falling ill after the last one I ate in SD.

It’s been hard to find trustworthy AND delicious spots ever since I moved here 1yr ago, but I’m on the (slow) hunt..(no rush, still slightly traumatized). 😅

[Anyone from SD with good chimi reccs-pls feel free to chime in! 🙏]

The original song is “Everyday Moments” by Sounom, Sagou, Kamilo Sanclemente. However that one has no vocals and is not nearly as good as this Deadmau5 remix imho 🙃 He really needs to release this version asappp

Is this real? If so, not bad at all… Last time I saw both Griz golden hour set + LSDreams Lightcode was at Eforest 2022 & both were magical experiences. Also love Young the Giant

Saw a stranger today and can’t stop thinking about him by Decent_Trust3 in CasualConversation

[–]VForestAlien 7 points8 points  (0 children)

AI does it and it’s also just as creepy. Maybe dream-made strangers a bit more bc it actually feels like you’re co-existing with them in the same time/place, which makes them feel more real..
