One major mistake that most beginner make with tuting is they start out thinking is all move base and everything have to be new with each movement. Tutting is really not just moves set to another set, its really about how you build your groove.

In later level you really don’t go in thinking you will do these set tut combos. You just go and let the music build with your tutting technique. Just this mind set alone can help a young dancer understand how to create movement.. Also don’t be afraid to look bad at 1st we all need to start from step one then beyond . The more you watch and copy the harder it is to break out and really enjoy your own tutting style.

Tutting also is not always about yourself , when we do team or partner tutting you have to build in a way that your partner can vibe off of your set up and make everything comes together.

Try to just tut to a whole song and not use any waves or other technique in it. Don’t worry about repeat just do what is right to you with the music. Once you are really empty with ideas or moves then you will begin to step into the new dimensions of creativity and only at that point where you will truly begin your explanation of tutting. This might take 5min to 20min or 45min into just tutting depending on your level.
