Chicago resident, Tommy Von Flowington, III, is no lightweight in the Liquid dance community. Over the last 6 years, we’ve had the wonderful opportunity to watch him grow as a dancer and practitioner of Liquid and Digits. It was apparent when we first came across this guy, that he had “it”. By “it” we mean a formidable concept of the driving principle of Liquid; Flow. + more input

Mark Flux is a good friend to many of us here in the DMV and can often be seen competing, teaching, judging, joining us at a master workshop or getting down at the club. His expertise in understanding musicality is evident in the precise timing of his movements. Mark fuses robot, boogaloo, animation and other styles together, creating an off balance/unique approach in his movement. + more input

Smack the Raver: Yes, someone went there. This flash game is probably going to remain a timeless gem forever to be discovered, no matter how hard we try to forget it even existed! "Do you know where the glowstick stand is?" Sorry iPhone users, this baby is was built in Flash before there where even iPhones. + more input

This week's dancer highlight is Storyboard P. With a broad knowledge in both underground/urban dance styles and modern/contemporary movement, Storyboard P, defies the physics of balance and gravity. We recently asked him a few questions about his style and background and obtained a few videos which he recommended to us. Here is another great example of a dancer that integrates various styles and movements ... + more input

The video is produced by William Blucher with music provided by SugarPill, who might I add, killed it at Archaic... + more input

I’ve been brainstorming a couple of themes for this weeks video roundup but diverted back to the finger styles. Seems like not only are there more videos coming out but the overall quality and skill level in them is as well (I’m running into a lot of these thru facebook groups). Finger Tut, Finger Connect, Digitz... shit is hoppin! So glad to see these styles in a lot of cultures outside of EDM. + more input

A perpetual adventure - all of it, fantastic! If you weren’t there, you seriously missed out on an amazing experience. Yes, “you had to be there!” + more input

I will admit, I am not a digger. I wish that I had the time to scour the interwebs for music, videos, gifs and the like. But sometimes, I do get on a kick and this week, I had robot on the brain. I have a rather large affinity for robots and I know, I am not alone on this. + more input

I often let my wife know how I feel about my personal development in dance after each practice. I’ve noticed my thoughts on progression usually gravitate towards a reoccurring theme: I’m still not there, it doesn’t look good enough yet, I’m nowhere near my goals, so much more practice is needed, UGH!, etc...Here’s an excerpt from Ira Glass on this type of struggle. He’s discussing writing and st... + more input
