Step 1
Move as if you are moving frame by frame. There is a slight pause after every couple inches of movement. This is called "animation" and it resembles stop motion film or old animated shorts
-
Step 2
Attempt the boogaloo. This dance gives the impression that the dancer lacks bones. It looks very fluid and involves movements that look unnatural.
-
Step 3
Dance normally, then abruptly stop. This is called dime stopping. The more sudden the stop appears, the better. Only pause for a moment and continue dancing.
-
Step 4
Move faster than normal. This is called "fast forwarding" and it is meant to resemble what movies look like when they are fast forwarded on the screen.
-
Step 5
Try liquid dancing. Dance in a continuous, flowing motion. This is usually done mostly with hands and arms.
-
Step 6
Imitate a puppet tied to strings. Let your limbs hang and dangle, but keep one part of each limb steady.
-
Step 7
Move in slow motion. Very slight pauses can be added, softer and more frequently than the "animation" style, to give the impression that the dancer is under a strobe light.
-
Step 8
Pop at twice the normal rate. This is called "ticking." It is very tiring and is usually done for short periods at a time.
-
Step 9
Create geometric shapes in your dancing. Focus on right angles. This is called "Tutting," named after King Tut and old Egyptian drawings.
-
Step 10
Vibrate while you dance. Tense your muscles very hard, causing them to shake.
-
Step 11
Try the "wave." Create the appearance that some kind of wave or current is traveling through your body. This can look corny when in the simplest form, but a really complicated wave looks cool.
-
Step 12
Make your legs go crazy. Move quickly, twist your feet often and do a lot of knee rolls.
-
Step 13
Try gliding, floating and sliding. Walk or dance in such a way that you travel in a different direction than your feet look like they are trying to move toward.
