Got my hits and waves, what next?

[jpop]

I am a noob and was wondering if i could get some guidance here. I have been working on my hits every day solid for a month now. I got the fresno down, basic waves and glides. I would love to learn what poppers put in their sets but not sure where to begin.

do you guys know any routines, or moves that can be made into routines I could use for practice/freestyles? i see poppers doing stuff with their hands and legs and most of it looks similar but I am yet to see a video tutorial on these "sets". they are like mini routines stitched together if you get what i mean. like building up a vocabulary.

Right now I have the letters ("a" "b" "c" - hits, waves, glides), but need to learn some words (some kinda combos) so that I can start stringing together sentences like the experienced poppers. i hope that analogy helps in explaining what i mean.

well there is no next, your hits and waves should be worked on FORE EVEERRR FORE EVVVERRR, sorry i watched sandlot yesterday but anyway if i could think back to what i wanted i would have worked on tutting and also beat riding ability, you can always get better at technique no matter how good you are.

Levels - standing up straight, hunched over, on the ground, knees bent

Speed control - Hitting the 1,2,3,4 or the 1 and 3 or the 1 and 4's etc

Boog foundation - Even if you dont wana do boog style if you take the fundamentals as concepts as opposed to single moves they can help alot.. eg: twisto-flex / masterflex / neckflex / walkout especially

mis-direction - Lookin different directions exclusive of which way ur body is facing etc

floats - floats are the fundamentals of glides and imo more important.. the heal to foundation.. practise heal toe movement in general, not just glides

digits - practise making ur finger dexterity better so your waves have better detail.. can also help if you like digits of finger tuts

waves and more waves - i dont think your waves are "down" in a month.. do more

botting - slowing down ur ish, and learning different positions you can get into

get infront of a mirror - see if your muscle memory is good... like.. when you dance and you are hitting arm positions check if your elbows are in or if you really look like you think you look!

thanks!! I think this will keep me busy for a very very long time and I believe that learning in these areas will never end. its just I am itching to be able to string together some stuff to sort of have something to show from my practice.
