Body Wave
*first, i think it is easiest to try doing this move in segments, step by step...then make
it 'flow' later
stand up straight, lookin at the crowd (or mirror :P )
next, lift your shoulders, while the
rest of you remains pretty straight
now, throw your shoulders back, which will also pop out your chest
now,
throw your shoulders forward, which will cave in your chest (hollowing it out)... at the same time, throw your hips/pelvis
forwards
now, bring your hips back in, and bend your knees... it should kinda look like you are about to sit on an
invisible chair... while bending the knees, you should also raise yourself on your toes
at this point, you should
be standing on your toes, with your knees bent, sitting on a chair that isn't there
now, for the way back up...
put
your toes flat on the ground, while simultaneously straightening your knees...
after that, jut your hips out again...
then, bring hips back in, and then pop chest out / bring shoulders back
then, just move the shoulders up,
while the rest of you is straight
and thats it!
when you are doing it, try and get it so that when you are
moving the wave from your head to toes, you are "shrinking"...you should appear shorter than you are... and on coming back
up, you should straighten to your full height...it makes it look better with that in mind
push your chest out and
hips in as far as possible for maximum phatness.
Arm Wave
put your arm (right) out to the side
now, bend your fingers down, but not into a fist...point
them to the ground
now, bend your wrist down to the ground...
next, pop your elbow up, and at the same time,
smooth out your wrist and fingers
now, pop your shoulder up, while pretty much straightening the whole arm...this
should have made a "wave" travel from the tips of your fingers to your shoulder...i cant stress how important it is to make
sure that u start at your fingers...it is these little technicalities that really make it look good
Arm To Body Wave
*first, make sure u can do the arm wave and body wave separately and u can do them
smoothly...u can do them either very "smooth", or very jerky...stopping at each joint...if u do it one of the extremes, then
it will look nice
put your arm (right) out to the side
now, bend your fingers down, but not into a fist...point
them to the ground
now, bend your wrist down to the ground...
next, pop your elbow up, and at the same time,
smooth out your wrist and fingers
now, pop your shoulder up, while pretty much straightening the whole arm...this
should have made a "wave" travel from the tips of your fingers to your shoulder...i cant stress how important it is to make
sure that u start at your fingers...it is these little technicalities that really make it look good
now, time to make
the wave go down your body...
the wave is in your shoulder, so now that u have popped up the right shoulder, bring
both shoulders back, which will pop out your chest...make sure u pop out your chest as far as possible
now, bring
both shoulders forward, while caving in your chest (hollowing it out), and bring your hips forward
now, pull your
hips back in, and bend your knees out, and then raise yourself on your toes with your knees still bent...it should look like
you are sitting on a chair
its time to bring the wave back up...
tap your heels back onto the ground, while
simultaneously straightening out your knees...
then, kick your hips back out...and then pull them back in, and pop
your chest out, bringing the shoulders back again
now, pop the left shoulder up,...both arms should be at your side
at this point, with only your left shoulder up...
now, put your left shoulder back down, and kick your left elbow
out...technically "up" i guess, because it should be at your side at first...
then, raise up your forearm, keeping
your wrist bent down
snap your wrist up, keeping the fingers bent. then straighten fingers out.
thats it, u
just passed a wave from one arm, thru your body, and then to the other arm
Side Body Wave
First stand straight. Only one part of your body moves at the time.
1) Then move
your head to the right (or left, if it's better). But only your head. The rest of your body stays still. 2) Move your shoulders
to the right. 3) Move your hips to the right. 4) And finally move your legs to the right. They should be a lil bit apart
and facing a lil bit to the sides, so that u could like step with your left heel onto your right heel. But your right foot
slides away. And so your legs travel!!!
