i know i need to drill locking moves more seeing as my dancing was pretty repetitive. i'd think being comfortable with moves would bring more variety

i'd like to hear opinions & insights of more experienced cats though! i think just practice is already clear... but if that's all then ok

Gotta clean up your moves a lot bro. You aren't completing moves really, just kinda mushing stuff together. Also, your scooby doos and skeeters aren't being done right, watch some of the original Lockers do them, the footwork is different. When you do locker pace, don't swing from your elbow, it's more like a quick jab with a wrist snap iso. The LOCK is the most important part, and you gotta actually lock it in place, can't just do the move then move on, hold it for a beat or two. Points come from the opposite side of the chest from your hand. Dunno what else I can think of now, but yeah just work on technique, cause not trying to hate, but almost everything was really sloppy. In locking you gotta be sharp and powerful along with funky.

thanks for the advice man. i agree... a lot of it is pretty sloppy and i think a lot of it i'm trying to dance using raw movement or something (without technique)
