Instructions
Step 1
Decide on your dance style. There are several styles of breakdancing: popping, electric boogaloo, locking. Typically, as professionalism grows, dancers find an eclectic unique style, but beginners begin by mastering the upper and lower breaks.
Step 2
Learn the basic elements of breakdancing. There are a lot of different elements in the break, most of them are technically quite difficult, which requires agility, flexibility, and physical strength from the dancers.
Step 3
Turtle, or a turtle - while the dancer's body rotates horizontally around its own axis on bent arms. Hands with elbows rest on the press, the body is dragged from the left elbow to the right (supporting), heading in the direction of movement, or vice versa. In fact, this is running in a circle on your hands.
Wave - the dancer lies on the floor, breaking away from him and falling first on his arms, then on his chest, then on his feet.
Step 4
Cricket - a technique similar to a "turtle". The dancer stands on one hand, the other is a guide. Hands alternately touch the floor.
Spring. From a standing position, the dancer falls on his back and rises, jumping to his feet and not helping himself with his hands.
Step 5
Stilts - the dancer is standing on his hands, one leg is directed forward, the other back. Jumping up on his arms, the dancer alternately changes the position of his legs, as if walking in the air.
Headspin - spinning on the head. The dancer stands on his head, pushes off with his hands and directs the body in the direction of movement, while the legs are either directly perpendicular to the ground, or in a transverse split, slightly bent, or bend at the knees and lower to the face.
Step 6
Sixstep (six steps). The dancer leans on his hands, moves from right to left, rearranges his legs, crossing them twice. In total, 6 leg movements are performed, reminiscent of leg jogging in a circle.
Swipe - the dancer's body rotates 180 degrees along the horizontal axis, pushing off with his legs and changing the supporting arm.
