that was some pretty cool shit. i don't dance, but that seems something i could get into. i wish they would do that here in dallas, that way i could learn from someone who is obviously as good as you are.

bout 30 seconds into your vid i see some very weak movements. you seem secure in what youre doing, but the movements are very labored. tutting shouldnt be labored as it seems there, it should look like the movements are meant to go there.

about 1:33 into the video, the fingerwalking is a bit... eh.

youre good kim, keep it up. better than i am. but not better than i used to be ;P

P.S. Glen - your site doesn't seem to work.

For all of you that asked, the song I used was Star 69 by FatBoy Slim

Posted by kim @ 03/05/2002 11:35 PM PST

whoaa, your video looks soooo cool! I was wondering what song were you playing when you did your moves?!? I liked it :D

Posted by mushie [e-meo] @ 03/05/2002 09:22 PM PST

man that was oretty nifty sumting new to me never heard of tutting but i dont dance ethier so go figure ,, you move fast kim i had trouble keeping up with your moves @_@

Hey, don't take it personally, Kim. I think you're off to a good start, I'm just trying to give you some pointers to improve upon. It's important to smile becase nobody likes a dancer with a thug-mug. Let me reiterate, you're doing well, these are just some tips.

What webcam do you have? Mine is the Intel PC Camera Pro, but I can't use it for 30 seconds without it freezing on me.

Posted by Glen [e-meo] [virtual dwelling] @ 03/05/2002 09:19 AM PST

hallo! Nice vid. Your pretty cute. I wouldn't worry about not smiling, I think it gives it a different style on ya that makes it more captivating. It's also pretty cool to try and mix 'n match different styles. =)

Posted by markparadox [e-meo] @ 03/05/2002 02:41 AM PST

I thought that video was pretty cool. Where did you learn tutting from? And can you tell us more about where it started from?

You looked like you really knew what you were doing and I thought it was really cool to watch.

And I guess smiling could help, but I didn't mind. It just looked like you were concentrating real hard =). Which is always cool ^_^.

Posted by Jon [e-meo] [virtual dwelling] @ 03/05/2002 02:35 AM PST

Holy shit, that's really cool... but also really wierd.

Posted by Derec [e-meo] @ 03/05/2002 01:12 AM PST

:P thanks glen, yeah I know I'm not that great yet, I've only been doing this for a few months... ^_~ HmMmm... My webcam doesn't have sound though. I wish I could post one with the real music. :T

What's wrong w/ not smiling?? ;_;

Posted by kim @ 03/05/2002 01:06 AM PST

and that reminds me of neo and morpheous kungfu scene in the matrix..

Posted by azidin? [virtual dwelling] @ 03/05/2002 12:58 AM PST

That was probably one of the greatest fucking things I have seen. I may not know art but I know what I like, and that was fucking amazing. The entire thing was watched with my mouth open in awe. I have no reason to lie, that was fucking (tight)amazing!( I havent really used the word tight before), stepping down.

Posted by Will [virtual dwelling] @ 03/04/2002 08:00 PM PST

Personally, I like it when clips play the actual music that the person is dancing too, rather than a montage. That way you can also tell how well they're hitting those beats.

Posted by Glen [e-meo] [virtual dwelling] @ 03/04/2002 07:53 PM PST

Let's see. First off, you could stand to smile more while you dance. Second off, your entire lower half of your body is frozen while you're tutting. Other than that, remember to keep your arms straight and parallel to the ground, otherwise it looks dirty. Good stuff all in all, I guess. Peace.

Posted by Glen [e-meo] [virtual dwelling] @ 03/04/2002 07:51 PM PST

Hey that was really good. I'd never heard of tutting and that was interesting!

Posted by darian [e-meo] [virtual dwelling] @ 03/04/2002 01:48 PM PST

Wow, i think that was good! lol

Posted by KayKay [e-meo] @ 03/04/2002 12:14 PM PST

wow, you do it so well. seeing that clip makes me miss everything about raving. esp. the music and drugs. btw ... i love your new layout ... so clean, it kind of reminds me of your old layout for your journal. im gonna miss that row of pictures that you had on your last layout though ... i talked to you once about the possibilities of you making a website for my company and as of right now i think we can afford you by mid-April ... hope to talk to you soon about it, bye~

WoW, You are one of the few people that I've seen do that very well..............

Posted by Marc [e-meo] [virtual dwelling] @ 03/03/2002 10:33 PM PST

whoa, that is way trippy... I'm not even on drugs and like scary... esp since you don't smile and yer all serious-like and aaaahhh I dunno, its powerful I guess is what I want to say

Tutting is NOT a form of locking. Locking has it's own history. It was created by Don Cambellock-- a very nice man and a great teacher. It's a very fun funk dance but has nothing to do with precise muscle control like the "popping" styles.

Under the very general term "popping",includes waving, ticking, animation, boogooloo, popping, gliding, boppin, robotin, and a myriad of other styles. Notice not all of them are like pantomining stuff. Most share the characteristic of having precise muscle control. So Kim would be considered to be popping, although a lot of old skoolers would scratch their heads and would say she is tutting, which is a more precise term. most dancers combine everything together.

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

Posted by ashish [virtual dwelling] @ 03/03/2002 02:59 PM PST

Ugh, forgive me for being ignorant...I didn't know the difference between popping, liquid, and funk styles.

Posted by babysharka @ 03/03/2002 01:20 PM PST

It's weird seeing an amateur video on popping. I don't go out to rave scenes or clubs, so I don't see too much popping. But I prefer liquid, but looking at you, I think I need some practice.

But what you do, looks like a routine that you must practice every evening and morning. Then it got me thinking... well, our grandparents prolly exercise tai chi every morning too, so this is like the modern Asian-American's version of Tai Chi! But it's called Tut Ting! Okay I'm just being a dork.

Posted by babysharka @ 03/03/2002 11:34 AM PST

Nice job; is that related to the 80s dance 'the robot'? Looks very much like it.

& of course, you looked good doing it, so I suspect that helped too. *wink*

Was cool seeing you @ the UCI All Night thing tonight; was annoyed when they made me stop roping, but hey, I'll live. And since I'm horribly bad at it, perhaps it wasn't such a bad thing....? Ngh.

Anyway, awesome vid & awesome moves.

Great stuff, where would you go to learn this? And it's all self-choreographed I bet =)

Posted by Cat D [e-meo] @ 03/02/2002 11:52 PM PST

whoops, my first paragraph got messy, that's what i get for not checkin sorry

wow that's pretty hot, you flow really well how long have you been doing this? I wouldn't consider it a form of popping but instead deprived from locking instead since it's more of an agility thing rather than pantomime.
