    There are many different ways to change up the dynamics of your movement. Listed below are the 6 ways I show you in this video on how to change up the dynamics of one Torprock step
    6 Dynamic changes:
    #1: Utilize the groove/rock to create a “groovy” style or feel to your step
    #2: Accent the beats in a song by being very sharp and precise to create a “picture” style
    #3: Use your space and make your movements big by adding a leap and traveling around more to create a “big/energetic” style
    #4: Hit beats in a song faster and create a sped up version of your Toprocks to create a “bouncy” style
    #5: Change the texture/speed of your movements to create more unpredictable movements
    #6: Chang up the tempo of a movement by adding an extra step to your movement
    You can create different dynamics in your Toprocks, as well as your footwork, get downs, power moves and freezes so play around with different ways to make all of your movements less predictable
