Problem: Article: Hip hop dancing relies a lot on the contrast between loose, flowing moves and quick, jerky ones. Generally, the hips are kept loose while the arms and hands perform sudden, dramatic movements, though quick hip moves are not uncommon either. The first step to making your dancing more hip hop-like is to embrace this contrast. Popping and locking are two dance styles that provide a foundation for a lot of hip hop dance technique. Learning the basics of both will allow you to quickly look more like Beyonce while dancing. Popping: This is a bouncy style of dancing that requires the isolation of body parts, moving them in succession, to the beat. To perform popping, imagine a wave moving through your body, making your body parts move one after another. Locking: The basic concept of locking is to move quickly and then freeze, and then continue moving at the same speed as before. This can be applied to both the whole body or to one body part at a time. Usually, locking involves jerky arm movements and a looser hip area, which moves to the beat. Once you understand the basics of popping and locking, you can learn a few basic hip hop moves that will get you started. These moves are the kind of things they'll teach you at almost any beginner's hip hop dancing class. Hip step: Start in the standard position with your feet shoulder length apart and knees slightly bent. Kick one foot out in front of you, then swing it to the outside of your other foot, crossing your legs. Then uncross your legs by moving your other foot back into standard position. Repeat in the other direction. Slide and step: From the standard position, move your feet closer together. Then step far to the side with one foot. Slide the other foot towards the first foot and then step it back into place next to the first foot. Then repeat in the other direction. Arm cross: Lean your torso forward a bit. Spread your arms in either direction, outwards but still pointing toward the floor. Then swing your arms both in and cross them in front of you. Move your hips back and forth to the beat as you do this.
Summary: Utilize both relaxed and jerky movements. Introduce popping and locking into your dancing. Master some of the basic moves of hip hop dancing.

Problem: Article: No matter what kind of beads, pendants, or discs you made, they must be finished with baking. This will set the clay so that the beads maintain the shapes and designs you've created. Always preheat your oven before baking, and follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding baking times and temperatures. To bake your beads, you can: Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the beads on a length of firm, straight wire. Then, suspend the wire from an oven-safe baking dish and bake the beads like that. Once your baking time is up, remove the beads from the oven and allow them to cool completely before handling them. In case you chose not to poke holes in your beads before baking, now's the time to create the holes. Work with each bead individually. Hold a bead steady on a hard surface with your thumb and forefinger. With your other hand, use the drill to carefully drill a hole through the center of the bead.
Summary: Bake them. Drill holes.

Problem: Article: The easiest way to do this is to simply run some water into your bathtub as though you were about to take a nice relaxing soak. If your home doesn't have a bathtub, you could also use a large bucket or a plastic or rubber storage container, so long as it's watertight. Whatever container you end up using should provide enough room for you to stand in with both feet comfortably. Assuming you have neither a bathtub nor another suitable type of container at your disposal, you also have the option of searching for a natural body of water to go tramping through, or wetting your shoes thoroughly with a garden hose or faucet. The exact quantity you put in will depend on the amount of water you're working with. Aim to use about 1 tablespoon of salt for every 14 gallon (0.95L) of water in your container. This will give you a salinity of about 3.5%, which is roughly the same as the water in the ocean. You can pick up a bag of purified sea salt at the supermarket for just a few dollars. Incorporating salt into your soaking water will simulate the conditions of wearing your Top-Siders in and around the sea, which is perfect if you're going for an aesthetic that's more veteran seaman than preppy yacht club. Slip into the shoes and pull as much slack out of the laces to make sure that they're nice and snug on your feet. The tighter you make them now, the more they'll loosen up once you get them wet. Don't wear socks with your boat shoes (unless you enjoy the feeling of soggy feet). Canvas and textile shoes will begin sponging up water right away. It may take a few minutes for leather, which has natural water-resistant properties, to become fully saturated. As you stand in the container, rock forward onto your toes and backwards onto your heels to stretch the material through its full range of motion. Watch your step when climbing into your soaking container. Even though boat shoes are made for wet wear, accidents happen. Step out of the container carefully, allowing the water that's collected inside the shoes to drain out as you do. Then, pat the upper part of the shoes all over with a clean, dry towel to wick up the remaining moisture on the surface. They don't need to be bone dryjust dab them until they stop dripping. It's a good idea to put down an absorbent layer, such as a bath mat or second folded towel, to avoid covering the floor with standing water. Some Sperrys (particularly textile models that have been dyed to deep shades) aren't as color-fast as others. If possible, select a dark-colored towel that won't show signs of staining in case of bleeding. For best results, go for a short walk or do some simple exercises to introduce more movement to the damp material. Boat shoes are designed to dry quickly, so you shouldn't have to wait long. In no time at all, your brand-new Top-Siders will soften up and take on an organic lived-in look, like you've owned them for ages. If you've got other things to do, or just don't particularly feel like wearing wet shoes, leave a wooden shoe tree in your Sperrys while they air out instead. Leather expands when it gets wet and shrinks as it dries. Together, these two reactions will result in a unique fit that feels tailor-made for your feet.
Summary:
Fill a spacious container with about 6 inches (15cm) of warm water. Add some sea salt if you want to give your shoes a more weathered look. Put on your Top-Siders and lace them up tight. Stand in the water with your shoes on until they're wet all the way through. Towel-dry your Top-Siders to remove excess water. Wear your shoes around as they air dry to let them conform to your feet.
