to me this is more a technique thing than a style - lifting your feet a lot gives a more rock and look to your dancing rather than a MJ IMHO

if your style is breaking from dancing technique it should be a choice - rather than a passive this is what you do - it's the old adage "you need to know the rules before you can break them" in dance this equals "you need to be able to do the steps before you change them"
