Arm Wave Tutorial - Jesse Nichols - Bboy Supaman

This is my first tutorial in a series of tutorials in which I intend to cover popping, arm waving, body waving, gliding, and maybe some bboying and krumping. Criticism is welcome! Tell me what I need to explain better and what I did a good job on so that future videos will be even better! Hope you guys enjoy!

To those who say that my waves are terrible: Well, you're right! This was 3 years ago and honestly, my waves were only ok. My waves are GREAT now because I continued hammering in these steps! Regardless of how good my waves were back then, the steps are correct and following them will lead to great technique! I keep thinking of posting an updated version with a few extra tips/body waves/better waving on my part, but I'm afraid that it won't see many views with this one already so popular! lol

"We are going to start with our right arm (holds up left arm)" haha

Hi!

I am trying to learn the wave right now. I can wave quite good with my right arm but I have big coordination problems with my left weaker arm. How can improve the left arm to be coordinated as my right?

[jessenichols1]

@joltcokeeee I know this may sound self-explanatory... but the ONLY way to do it is to practice... A good way to improve one's left arm is to wave from the left fingers to the shoulder... and then back down the same arm over and over. As with most dance moves... One must practice until it becomes so natural that you don't have to think about it anymore.

how long did it take you to get the whole arm wave down? ive been practicing for hours the past couple days and im starting to see results.

[jessenichols1]

It takes time to learn and it varies from person to person... This was after a good while of arm waving. You continually get better over time. Even the greatest poppers still improve over time. This is me from a couple of years ago, even though I posted it just some time last year. I will actually be making new tutorials within the next few months. I just got a job at a new dance studio, so I will have access to a studio to tape in.

[shorien]

[Paleteroman127]

Got it like in 10 min now I need to learn the body wave

[MiSowWird]

i can do it but really slow... i have to think whats the next move @@

[flamey987]

when i pop the elbow part my shoulder always seems to go high so it looks weird when i try to put the elbow into the shoulder and it doesnt really "go" any help?

[Nicerpkz]

i arm wave good going inwards towards from my shoulder but i have a problem going outwards from my shoulder any tips? i get the idea of just doing the steps backwards but it doesn't look fluent.

[fuzzyse23]

[starstruckt]

haha lmfaoooooooo that shit look nasty when he explaining it in the beginning but cool at the same time

[AcerN2]

not saying im any better but your arm wave looks kinda sloppy to what i've seen.
