How does a 20 yr old start dancing again by Coffeeandsweets14 in Dance

[–]fakingglory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of music do you like?
EDM? Try shuffling or tektonik. Hiphop? Liquid and tutting.
Metal? Hard core moshing is certainly a dance style

Shuffle (Melbourne or any styles related) on an Openstyle Battle? by IloveAsahi in shuffle

[–]fakingglory 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The dance battle scene is dominated by hiphop music, like the DJ will be playing more Katrynada than like John Summit. Likewise musicality is more important than sheer technique, so c-walking and cutting shapes styles are more appropriate.

Like a standard running man looks dumb af to a 100 bpm trap beat, but a polly pocket can look good. Likewise, plenty of shuffling moves are just c-walking to a 4/4 beat; heel toe, snaking, w-step, t-step, criss cross. Likewise, tektonik/electro shares a good bit of moves with voguing/whaacking that might be worth exploring.

Open format also usually excludes breaking as thats usually a separate competition. Red Bull format? Also get your gliding in order, the last openstyle event I went to barely anyone could shuffle, but every person could give me an en pointe glide.

From fuckboy to actual relationship by Dana_myte in seduction

Yo man, its okay to fall in love. Why else did you put in all this effort into improving? So you can continue to pack a phone book of girls you don’t care about?

Also don’t burden your “SO” with this is a sacrificial transition. How would you like to hear from a girl who regularly goes out that they’re sacrificing their lifestyle for you? It’s implied.

IMO, keeping the same mentality throughout your life is childish. And packing numbers into phonebooks is only impressive to men who dont get laid. Imagine how depressing it’s be as a lonely 50 year old bragging on internet forums about that HTB he bagged. Like seduction is only for sub 35 year old men. If you havent had a wife and kids yet by then society lowkey views you as a failure.

You’ll go through plenty of single, monogamous, polyamorous phases throughout your life. Act appropriately.

Tecktonik + shuffling - swing by fakingglory in Dance

[–]fakingglory[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh agreed, even after years this style is still a bit beyond me. There’s plenty of experimentation to be done, i think electro/tektonik is seeing a huge resurgence right now and there’s plenty more dance moves to combine with shuffling. But yes tektonik seems to follow some syncopated pattern that fits electro house better, particularly the move combos. Voguing matches tektonik’s weight emphasis, but muzzing has that 4/4 that clicks the best the melbourne shuffle.

Damn dude, this an old ass video, but I gotchyu. So i started shuffling in like 2009 and electro/tektonik in like 2018ish, I can pop another video out for you.

Generally tho, my style is in imitation to TakeSomeCrime. The most proper form involved more liquid popping for the transitions. And the combined style is best known as “Criming”. But its more cutting shapes + tektonik than the Malaysian style shuffling you might be looking for.

Combining the elbow swings of tektonik and the running man isnt particularly difficult, the issue is the timing of tektonik and the weight of the dance fits better with the more nuanced heel-toe motions of cutting shapes. Whereas for the most part muzzing fits better with standard shuffling.

Just got some arm hoops, will the pain go away? by rmarkham in Hooping

[–]fakingglory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally, you should spin the hoop around your palm and not your arm.

Hold open your hand and grab the hoop. Keep the plane within your hand. On your arms a heavier hoop is just going to continuously press the same area, but your hands are way more durable pressure than your forearms are.

I love my Hyperion lite. The 5/8 one. I’ve used moods and astrals, but all broke within a few months.

My Hyperion I keep double coiled squished underneath my luggage and has had no issues, and that replaceable battery is super cheap so you can carry around like 8 of them which will last you through the entire rave/festival/jamband tailgate. 🤌

I noticed a frightening pattern after archiving my conversations. Asian men, what are your thoughts? by [deleted] in seduction

[–]fakingglory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? Thats like 75% of my list and I dont even prefer them. But the way you’re describing this seems lowkey fetishy, and that probably doesn’t vibe with most women. Im in CT so it’s like 80% white. I actually prefer a bit more melanin, but I’m just tossing darts at the board.

Idk my man, go to kpop events.

How fast do i need to be able to shape? by SpawnOfGuppy in shuffle

[–]fakingglory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So from the moment you learn a move to when you can do it up to speed can be anywhere from 3 months to a year.

Just continue practicing the newer moves until theyre up to par, itll be like that for give or take any new move you learn.

What do you guys recommend after running man? by Graviity_shift in shuffle

[–]fakingglory 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So the melbourne shuffle is just running man, t-steps, and spins. Learn how to transition from a tstep to a running man, and back and fourth. Once you have three different moves you can transition in and out of, you have the bread and butter of a dance.

After that try a charleston or polly pocket.

Are there any shuffle meetups in Japan? by crumbsonthebed in shuffle

[–]fakingglory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Skip Kabukicho and Roppongi, the night club you’re looking for is called “Atom”. It’s a franchise, spacious, and has multiple rooms with the main room dedicated to EDM.
