whoa? Flares? for a bgirl?!
Well heres some of my tips that have helped me.
1. When starting you want to sweep your leg under
2. Keep the leg your not sweeping high as possible and straight
3. Hands should place in the same general area when moving switching around
4. Head should be under hips when your legs are in front and in back
5. Hips high as possible

If you can do windmills I STRONGLY suggest you practice Flare-mills
Those will help with continous flares
:)

theres plenty of tutorials on youtube. but do push ups everyday till u get sore. ull need the upper body strength. do handstands for the balance. then, put it together in any flare ud like . do u live in the bay area? cuz im putting together a hiphop dance crew, thought u might be interested. if so, email me at justjared135@yahoo.com good luck with the flares!
