Liquid dancing is a popular dance technique that incorporates many different styles of other dance techniques. It has been known to include moves such as “the robot,” borrow moves from funk, and even become as inspiring as the interpretation dance style that has become so popular.
It has long been debated as to what exactly liquid dancing is. Many claim that it is just other styles of dances with a few tricks mixed in. Others say that the dance type is a style in all its own, as it originates from the club era and has true roots in dancing history. Either way, the dancing style is defined as borrowing moves from other styles, so in effect both sides of the debate could be true.
The overall concept in liquid dancing is to create a rhythmic sense of flow with the hands in body. It is important to note that such movements need to be in rhythm, or true liquid dancing experts claim that the dance is being performed incorrectly. Often the liquid dancer in question choreographs the moves with the music playing, either freestyle or from a previous training session.
Popular moves in the liquid dancing technique include the techniques named “builds,” “waves,” and “traces.” The build is something like you’d see from a mime- it involves interacting with an object that is imaginary, yet the interaction is made to be believable. Waves and traces both use the hands to simulate fluid movements- whether it be outlining one’s own body or simulating waves with the arms and hands.
A vastly popular extension of the liquid dancing technique is to use glowsticks to give a truly psychedelic and “trippy” effect for trance goers. Glowsticking, as it is called, uses light emitting devices often held in the hands to help in the process of expressing the motions that makeup that liquid dance moves. Glowsticks draw more attention, attract more appeal, and are cheap ornaments to a truly great dancing style. It should be noted, however, that clubs have largely banned the item due to misuse, injury, and other factors.
Getting tips and tricks into breaking the learning curve to liquid dancing is best learned through online video sites that cater to the dancing styles mentioned previously. Such moves are entirely visual- meaning they can’t always be duplicated through reading about such moves in a book or through online resources. Nevertheless, the art of liquid dancing is much about one’s own source of movement, artistic style, and sense of mobility. Therefore, it is often better to diversify one’s mindset by being as creative and independent on the subject as possible.
In Conclusion
Raves, parties, and clubs just wouldn’t be complete without the liquid dancing techniques that have become a part of common dance routines. Thus, it’s important to learn such techniques to incorporate them into one’s sense of dancing style. This can better diversify one’s tastes, artistic direction, and overall create a better appeal to others. But before creativity takes over one’s dancing routine, make sure that clubs and the like approve of some gear such as glowsticks or other light emitting devices first.
