As a popular dance move that has taken the world by storm, the floss is one of those viral sensations that seems to have spread in every corner. The floss is a hip-hop dance move characterized by swinging your arms and hips, alternating between moving them forward and backward while simultaneously crossing your legs over each other. It sounds easy enough, but mastering this routine can be quite challenging for some people.
In this article, we’ll break down everything you need to know about doing the floss dance.
Getting started
The first thing you need to do when preparing yourself for any new dance move (or learning any skill) is to understand what it entails. Whether you’re completely unfamiliar with how it looks or just never really tried doing it before, take time out to study videos or images online- there are many available on social media platforms -to get a clear idea of exactly what movements constitute the floss.
That done, start by picking comfortable clothes – leggings/tracksuits/pants/shorts – which don’t restrict movement; loose-fitting clothing will allow unhindered rotation of arms and bending of legs – all essential for executing each step as accurately as possible. Once ready with apparel put on some upbeat music like pop/ electronic or trap-heavy beats regularly found in hip-hop tracks- depending upon taste- something energetic enough get into rhythm for practice.
Step One: Basic Arm Movements
To start practicing arm moves, stand straight up with feet shoulder-width apart while keeping both hands straight ahead at shoulder height forming fists; let an imaginary line run through both fists’ knuckles making same shape/object form in front mid-body area from teeth till thigh level. Swing right arm back across body simultaneously with left elbow bent drawing an arch behind whereas right had assumes upward flow acting as if pulling something from low point upwards without bending wrist such that fist points towards forehead level pointedly extended laterally away from torso -left hand remains in fists at shoulder level unchanged from starting position.
Step Two: Basic Leg Movements
The next step is to practice the leg movements. Begin by crossing your right foot over your left, just above the ankle and then swing both hips forward while moving both arms forward as well. Release left foot which comes up on heel making a little hop and cross it over right one – this time below ankle height too – simultaneously pulling back right arm behind horizontally; switch with opposite side legs now crossed (left-over-right) while reversing arm movement directions- that is current leading(earlier trailing) hand pulled towards front of body for onward thrust as opposite takes its place upon the halfway point.
Repeat these two essential steps a few times until you feel comfortable enough to execute them together seamlessly.
Step Three: Combining Arm and Leg Movements
