It is important to make sure that you work out your finger muscles in order to maintain full flexibility for any tut manuevers. In one of my previous blogs i posted a video of Greg Irwin, who is known to be the first known person to practice these finger fitness workouts.
It is very important to practice with other dancers of any kind, as you will be able to see different concepts that
you will be able to take with you and practice incorporating these moves into your own.
Its very important to keep an indiviidualistic style. Remember you can only make your move look like you want it to look. Never strive to have some one elses style be unique with your tuts.

BOX?!
One very important thing to keep in mind while tutting is that their are variation of different shapes and styles of boxes. The wikipedia definition describes the boxes as a certain sub-styles of tutting that has emerged where the dancer creates boxes, which consists of creating and manipulating box-like or rectangular shapes predominantly with ones arms or fingers.
Tutting is Movements that require your hands and arms, sometimes your body depending on what the move is. Tutting is simple, like a puzzle piece, where your hands, fingers and arms are used to slide, move, or bump into each other.
There are many other transitional moves which are very important to remember while tutting. Some of the more difficult concepts to grasp are; remotes, hinges, slides, and of coarse boxes. Many of the people I know who follow tutting have a lot of respect to particular a dancer known as TY fingers, from, he has many different variations of these different concepts that he puts all into one performance.

What is he doing...?!
Many people find it hard to understand this new different style of dancing. I personally have gotten awkward looks when I find myself practicing in public areas. Especially when my fingers looked "sloppy" back when I was a beginner at tutting, striving to make my moves as "clean" as possible.
While we are practicing My friends and I always have a strong passion to do show each other different variations of moves that we learn. It is important as an individual to take in all of the different concepts that I learn from my friends and incorporating their move with my own.
When you first begin tutting it might feel embarrassing to practice your moves in-front of other people because you feel like they might judge everything you have been practicing. I think that it is crucial to practice in public, when it is appropriate, because it prepares you to have the confidence when it comes down to performing what you've spent so much time practicing.
It is important to build up a confidence in your dancing, if you do so then it will show through your tuts. By far one of the most inspiring pop dancers that I have ever come across is known as "Poppin John," he is constantly practicing in public areas.
