His soul is of a sweetness... Whatever his dancing, in Gangsta mode, Childish mode, Voguing and Waacking effeminate and assumed mode, it exudes a sweetness in his energy... Surprising, despite the liveliness and accuracy of his moves, isn't it? Well that's what I see.
And I think that's where the power of his movement. Because actually, nobody expects it. A simple movement: a lip which moves, a foot which slaps the ground, a finger which "pushes" a button... As minimalist as it may seem, the intent is such as his movement is amplified with an absolutely bewildering power. It's obvious this perception is multiplied by I-don't-know-how-much when you see Laurent "shadowing" Larry, following his gestures and his mind simply by standing behind him.
Larry likes to say that Lau is his shadow, they are a couple, they love each other, and it's reflected in their dance. He also says he needs his brother being behind him when he dances, it can be seen in videos when Larry is alone, he will look for his brother, to stand right in front of him, to touch him, before starting dancing.
Like any dancer, Larry takes a few seconds to be in the sound, you can see his attitude: he looks every beat, every rhythm, every pulse with his face and hands. Then once the analyzed sound, he starts... Here again, his attitude changes: he enters the ground, he smiles, he plays with the song and his body. Finally the "Ca_Blaze" mode is enabled: he places his cap over his eyes, and there... He's in his world!
His soul colors change every minute:
- Pastel colors when he becomes filled with the sound... He tests, listening and detects routines in the sound, to anticipate and score when needed. His concentration seems to focus on the sound, and his body starts to let go.
- Bright and colorful colors when he starts... By to start I mean of course the moment he opens his mouth and dance. I noticed that when he picked up the sound, he opens his mouth, as if he's trying to remove what he feels. Of course, so he starts dancing. It's funny because as he changes his intent every moment, the colors change, but the strength he puts is such that the quickness of his movements, and his color are completely expanded.
- When he's completely gone, with his Lau behind him, cap over his eyes and "Ca_Blaze" mode ON, there's something else I see... His body is enveloped in a transparent film, but black or purple following his state of mind. Mostly purple, and black when he's disturbed, disrespected or when Lau doesn't support beside or behind him. It's like a shell, impenetrable, but "spin" his body. His precision is increased tenfold, strength and power in the movements is multiplied by I-don't-know-how-much, and he releases all kinds of emotions through this envelope: resentment, anger, pride, vulnerability, brotherhood, passion, love, loyalty, and so on...
I don't know how he does nor what's going on through his head at that time, but I take it all in the chest in each of his freestyles, whether in battle, in cypher, in the street or with his family in a house.
Not to mention his charm... Inevitably, his smile and his facial expressions make him even more exciting to watch!
