YOU ARE DANCING "FLIP-ROCK" STYLE WHEN YOU: |
| YOU ARE NOT DANCING "FLIP-ROCK" STYLE WHEN YOU: **More info on bottom of page. |
| For years people have made comments to me such as: "I've never seen anyone dance like you do" or "Where did you ever learn to dance like you do?" Well ... guess what ya'll: The only thing I do that's different than most people is to incorporate a multitude of different moves into every dance that I perform. People appreciate the style too! Every dance I do is like a "Broadway Show." Even if the joint's into Hip-hop, Swing, or Country, I quickly fit right into the scene, and always ... within minutes: Gain peoples respect and admiration. ....John Kelly |

FLIP-ROCK" CONTINUED ...................
Based on the principals of individualism and variety, there is but one elementary rule to "Flip-Rock" style dance ... And that is: "That you never, ever do the same move longer than five seconds before switching to another move." That's it! That's all it takes to "shine" out there on the dance floor: You just keep switching from move to move to move to move ... throughout the entire dance.
Now this may sound a little strange, or a little complex to you beginner dancers, but when you find how easy most moves are to learn/and to remember ... and how quickly you manage to store these moves in your memory, you'll see that it's not that hard at all. And ... Yes: It is perfectly alright to do the same moves a couple/few times in the same dance ... Just make sure that you space them out at least 1/2 a minute or so in-between other moves. Also too: You beginner, and experienced dancers alike ... Always keep in mind that an indistinguishable flurry of arms and legs doesn't impress anyone, so keep your moves distinct so that anyone that may be watching can see what you're doing and appreciate your performance ... And, on the same token: always be aware that some moves are only good for 2 or 3 seconds before they become monotonous ... And others such as the "Zipper" or "Jumping back" are only meant to do once per dance, which translates to only 1 or 2 seconds before you get on to another move.
"So, ... how is it possible to go smoothly and fluently from one move to another," you beginner dancers may ask? Well ... Mr/Ms Beginner: After you learn your first 3 or 4 moves (And I mean to where they're practically a "second nature" to you) you'll find out that since your arms legs are constantly moving anyway, it'll be no problem to simply stop doing the move you're doing, and while your arms are still in mid-air ... begin doing something else with them as long as your body is in a similar position that the next move will require ... And if you're not in a good position to perform the move that you have in mind: A quick spin will fix that. Most spins, when planned and executed properly, are perfect transitions between all moves since they leave you with your legs apart, and standing straight up.
 | **Also, just as important as Flip-Rock's principal of constantly going from move to move to move, is that you never, ever pause or stop moving when you're on the dance floor ... Never! ... Never stop moving ... Not even when the bouncer has you in a headlock and is wrestling you to the floor do you ever stop moving when you're on the dance floor! |
