I'm new to this popping stuff, and so far, I can do a pretty good basic arm wave.
I always see people do this wave where they make like, an infinity symbol or a sideways 8, starting with their arms close to their body, then eventually, it goes out, and it looks really smooth..They usually do it diagonal too.
Sorry if my explanation isn't good..
Also, there's another one, where idk if it's his own move or something, but I saw a guy do a thing where he let his arms dangle at his sides, and glided around while they were waving, and it was REALLLYYY nice looking, sorta like a jellyfish, but each arm was like waving or something at different times.
Anyone have any idea what Im talking about?
Any names or guides..?

What you're referring to is liquid. You start by learning how to do the wave. When you can sufficiently do that, bring your hands in front of you, finger tips next to each other. Now you must learn how to have your hands chase each other. Basically this means one hand will be waving one way, while the other is waving the other way. This will create the illusion that your hands are chasing each other.

Go look up the LPC (liquid pop collective) tutorials on youtube. That might help you out.

Also the other move you're talking about, i believe, is the philip chbeeb's signature move.

When you've learned how to do the liquid wave, you can pull it the hands apart and instead of moving in those "figure 8" fashions as you so put it, you now are moving the wave in and out. He has learned to isolate his arms from his body so that it looks like his arms are pushing him while he's doing the romeo twist.

Look up Philip Chbeeb and tell me if that is the wave you're talking about.

Thanks for the tip about liquiding.
The second one isn't Chbeeb's move, his arms arent going out from his sides, his arms are dropped at his sides and his elbows raised abit, like.. /'|'\ those are his arms and the | is his body..
I'm def. gonna look up liquiding to see if I can find it anywhere there

Oh that. Thats pretty simple, just do a basic arm wave with both arms, when one hump of the wave is up the other is down, or when one hand is waving down the other is waving up. Its all perspective, just use a mirror at first.
