Master the art of the wave: a guide to fluid street dance movement
In short: Street dancer Jino demonstrates the fundamentals of waving, a versatile style that transforms body movement into a continuous, fluid motion. Learn how to execute different wave variations and maintain control to avoid a sloppy appearance.
Waving is a highly adaptable street dance technique that allows for creative expression beyond simple vertical movements. Jino explains that the key to a clean wave is precision; whether performing a straight wave across the chest and arms or a full-body wave, maintaining form is essential to prevent the movement from appearing crooked or rushed.
The technique involves a sequential flow starting from the fingers and wrists, moving through the shoulders and head, and traveling down to the chest, stomach, pelvis, and legs. For a full-body wave, the motion travels through these points in a rhythmic count, often hitting a final position at the end. Jino also introduces specialized variations like kick waves, which incorporate footwork to create a unique, distinct visual style.
