Running man This action should be said to be the basic skills, want to do a good job of this action need to pay attention to a lot of things still.
Some people say there are 3 or 4 steps to this move, but I think it's just 2 steps, lift up and put down, then swap legs and repeat.
Practicing the Ghost Steps:
At first you can imitate the video tutorials, one action at a time, and carefully observe the details, such as what position the foot lifts to, whether the leg should be straightened, and how much it is appropriate to bend, only to figure out these first, and have a clear idea of what is in your heart, which will be very helpful for the future practice.
Then try to connect these actions, you can also use some software to slow down the tutorial video to observe (such as "Movie Cube"), you will see clearly how the leg is out, how the foot slides back, but may feel that they do not do the same as the tutorials, it feels a little awkward. That's okay, slow play the tutorials you think are good and watch them a few more times, I'm sure you'll get something new to try each time.
When practicing, you can find a piece of ground that is not too rough, and later you can practice on different ground to get used to it. Shoes can use board shoes, different shoes have different training intensity, music do not intentionally go to find some rhythm can not keep up with the song, with a metronome is also fine. Pants at first do not use special fluorescent pants, so that you can not observe the specific situation of the legs, lightweight sweatpants, shorts can be, jeans are too tight will be some constraints on the body.
Well, now to the main point. Some people look "soft" when they do this move, they don't have the strength, they are slow, and they don't feel like they are in the right place. There are many reasons for this, and I'll try to analyze some of them:
1. Start with the feet, and note that when the front foot hits the ground, the back foot can't move any further, so it can be slightly padded up. When the front foot slides to the center line, the back foot should be slightly faster than the front foot to lift up, the front foot does not move, the back foot lift lift to the two thighs flat on it. When the two feet fall, the back leg should be hard when dragging, the front foot falls parallel to the fall (there are also toe and root falls, not discussed here), immediately after the fall, the next action, don't stay, which will disrupt the rhythm, and it won't look like it's evenly spaced.
2. In fact, every action in the RM legs have to be bent, rely on the legs of the rebound to the next action, you can do it slowly to feel, to save the correct muscle memory, when you do it quickly when you can slowly omit (in fact, the bending is still a little bit, but do not have to intentionally care about it). When you slide both feet backwards, you should straighten your legs so that you can gain speed by strength, and when you get good at it, you can have good results without straightening.
3. The upper body in the dance do not bend down to look at the feet, so you will ignore the arm movements, if you want to bend into an arc, do not bend the back is still straight, so it is very difficult to see, so try to straighten the practice, the eyes look straight ahead, you can not do the hand movements, do not worry about how you dance, you can find out through the video, you can also practice in front of the mirror.

4. Next is the hand movements, which is also very important in other movements, when you are skilled, you can be distracted to follow the music to do hand movements, RM is more suitable for large movements, you can also put a hand on the hat, the other hand dance, but follow the music, do not intentionally go to the chaos to do some of the movements that do not fit, but instead of making a mess, you can imitate the others first! The first thing you can do is to imitate others to find a sense of rhythm
