Where Did Digits Began?


       Finger tutting, or digits, all began when dancers started combing a number of different types of dance styles and incorporating them into these finger dances. The two most obvious dance styles that digits originated from was liquid, which is a dance that looks literally looks like the dancers bones become liquid pulsing throughout their body. The second major dance style that digits arrived from is the pop-n-lock, where is a very well known dance style the requires the dancer to stop their dance while adding a pop making them look almost robotic.
      Tiny Love took these concepts as well as many others and morphed them from entire body movements down to movements done with only your fingers, while still keeping the dancing feel. Tiny Love has become a major idol to many up and coming finger dancing fanatics. In this following video he explains in depth more where this whole digit craze started. If you pick up on how he describes the different ways that he comes up with the concepts Tiny explains how many dancers feed off other, usually more talented dancers, styles and incorporate other moves into their own finger tuts.
