Freestyling Tips

Ack. During my little freestyle whatever by using roulette and shuffle, I accidentally hit Maxx Unlimited. Heh heh

Half the time, I was sitting down using my butt for down, hands for left/right and my feet for up. Lazy freestyle! Heh.

Btw just wondering, what are your favorite freestyle moves? Could be one that's easy to execute or maybe a little unusual and just plain fun to mess around with?

its not so much as a favorite move....but more of a favorite style of freestyle.

They never get played out if u come up with new ways of doing them

Well, the most I can say about FSing is just to flow. Make your routine(s) look sharp, clean, and unique. And a definate no no move is the hand slap, you can use it once in a while... but beware, it gets old fast.

foot glides only look good if it matches the song or if it matches the "mood" of the song

My favorite freestyle moves to perform are:

Slides
Shuffling
foot-knee-handslap combo
Treadmill
Heel-toe tap (like tap dancing)
Liquid popping
Handstands
Backhand spring (only done once...and made a miss

)
Apple jacks or swashtika kick
L-kick
any variations involved with a freeze (like handplant freeze)

When I freestyle, it depends on what song you play. Like you do Cowgirl, you do a galloping/square dance like moves. Stuff like Superstar, you imply hiphop steps in it. For like anything involve with techno or pop, you can do simple stuff like shuffling and slides. Overall, listen to the music and just do along with the beat. Oh yeah, check out people dancing and learn from it.

The only freestyling I've done were just simple moves that anyone can do, yet add more to the look of your dance:

1) Instead of hitting a 1/4 beat followed by a 1/16 beat by stepping, jump in the air and land one foot earlier than the other. It's helpful on Love This Feelin'.
2) Spinning, for an example, the very end of Look to the Sky on Light.
3) Two feet per panel, you can try it on true... (Sunrise Trance Mix) Standard at the part where you have 3 jump combos 1/4 into the song.

I'd like to be able to put 3 freeze arrows side by side in edit mode so that you need to use a hand or knee.

the first FS i ever did was BBD singles basic, but it was lame i did the first half of the song followed the arrows ended up fasing the croud and just left right left right left left right right up ... down i did full combos of the end but it was realy lame -_- i still try but the best i got is SandStorm HEV DUB i can fs soo mutch with that... only problum is i cant do that song in the arcades ... to bad.

but i am learning some fun stuff like a bar flip

When starting dubbles run away from the machene on the center2 arrows grab the bars and kick so that you spin let go and land on your feet and hands(looking like you landed on your knees.) thats kind of cool,

what i would love to see is a vid of the MATRIX walk, because i can do a Matrix fall on Era Dubbles Heavy so that i hit the last up arrow with my left hand in a arch falling motion, i goto find a way to look like i am dodging bullets when doing the middle, i would kill to do some 1 handed cartweals in the middle of that song but there is no space...

Barton: haha, way to learn foundation. But hopefully you can find your own style somehow. Its cool, keep learning the stuff your learning now, but you're gonna wanna eventually get a dance style of your own. Peace.
