Glow stick dancing, also called flow dancing or liquid dancing, involves twirling glow sticks to the beat of a song while simultaneously dancing. This dance has become popular with the techno and, to some extent, the hip-hop scene — especially in cities such as San Francisco and New York.
Glow stick dancing is all about having fun. Nevertheless, there are some basic things that any would-be glow stick dancer should know. First, dancers should hold the glow sticks in a way that allows plenty of movement between the fingers, but that also feels comfortable. Try holding out your hand, palm down, and placing the glow stick under the index and pinky fingers, and on top of the middle two fingers. This hold allows for the best grip and visibility.
A good glow stick move to know for glow stick dancing is the figure eight. This move allows the dancer to twirl the glow sticks very close together and can look much more difficult than it actually is. To do the move, practice making a figure eight with your leading hand. Hold your arm out with your elbow slightly bent, and move only your wrist. Imagine the face of a clock, and, starting at 12, move to the following numbers in this order: 1,2,8,7,6,5,4,10,11,12,1,2. Repeat the process several times to create a figure eight.
Once you learn how to do the figure eight with one hand smoothly, try following with the other hand. Note that both hands will follow the same sequence, one in front of the other. While making the figure eight, try dancing to the music. When you have mastered the figure eight, you should be able to dance with your body and the glow sticks in perfect beat with the music.
The most important part of glow stick dancing, though, is to always have fun!
