Ah, and glider, if you meant float walking, like A-Jay or uh, Michael Jackson would do, then that's another thing entirely, and I can't find any guides. Mr. Wiggles has a video on that topic, but that's about all I've bothered to find, besides a little stuff on Kazaa.

firstly. floating and gliding are different.

KZ does backglides usually.

floating is a heal toe side to side movement.

however, the idea behind the heel toe movement is also present in backgliding and most other slides and glides.

why try to "look like kidzero" though? how about try to look like you! make your own stuff up. i mean, there's nothing wrong with doing a backglide on ddr. and if someone says you copied kidzero, theyre very ignorant to the funk styles culture because the backglide has been around since the 1920's. kidzero *might* have done it first on the ddr pad, but he is sure to have gotten it from someone else.

the point is, play like YOU. if you like the backglide--thats great, learn it. but learn it...becuase you wanna look like kidzero? thats just dumb. do it for yourself.

I started freestyle not long ago im not that great but here is what i know about. I used to break dance a little bit and its only the very basic's but they do help u out and i made up something dont know if it is allready a move or not? i wanna put it in a routene but i havent found a song that has the right steps for it yet. But u swing ur leg over the pull and let swing pass u so u can kind flip upside down and u hit the left with ur right hand and with ur other hand grab the pole so its like a hand stand but it should be a freeze arrow to do it so u have time to hold urself up.

USER: Good to see someone who can distinguish dance styles, you really know what you're talking about. =)

trupnoi: Ethan did Highs Off U doubles, and played to the crowd like crazy. It really got em pumped. =)

And the reason you're seeing so much of that these days is because freestyle has evolved, sorta. Popping and b-boying are, arguably, the easiest and most watchable modern dance styles one can bring to the DDR pad (when done well, of course, not when one just slides around to Let the Beat Hit Em). I'd love to see locking, but as it mostly requires arm moves, it's hard to work it into stupid arrow patterns with your feet. As for A-Team stuff, that stuff should stay on PIU machines, where it can be best utilized.

Captain, your post made little sense to me, but your move has probably already been done by folks since a few years ago.

Quick question about freestyling:
How much does your score matter? I know that the point is to look good, but lets say you did a great routine but missed a bunch of arrows and got a D. Would the judges give a flying fig about the D?

Any tips on how I can make a Right, Up, Down, Left (regular beat) pattern look good?
