ok im a bboy (breakdancer)

and there r some great tutorials on youtube!. I never had classes or anything!.

Search things like "toprock tutorial" or "6 step tutorial" and ppl will go over the things with u step by step!.

There are rarely official breakdance classes as!.!.!. usually if u want to learn from some1 they're either ur friend or u know them alrdy, etc!.

also, u can also find tutorials and support from bboys all around the world on "bboy!.org" !. There is a "beginner"s section on their forums where u can ask any questions u want!.

p!.s!. gymnastics is REAL good help for bboyin as it basically covers the powermoves!.!.!. U learn to do flips, flares, balance, etc!. at gymnastics!. though ur son might find gymnastics "lame" lol;Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would first start off with letting him watch a few "how to" videos on Youtube!. They helped me learn quite a bit!.
If he still is enthusiastic about it and wants to learn more, then sign him up for a class @ a local dance studio!.
Most importantly, keep incouraging him!. It's great that someone so young wants to learn such a healthy hobby!.


P!.S!. Below are the Youtube videos I was talking about!. Good luck!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

i personaly think you should sign him up for fresstyle disco there is lots of parts to it such as solo pairs slow and street! freestyle disco helps with your flexibilty and its a little bit like gymnastics and we do cometitions basicly every sunday where you get lots of throphies ive been dancing for about 2 years and i already have about 200 throphies :D hope i helpedWww@QuestionHome@Com

Starting off with Gymnastics would be great so he could be flexable but in break dancing he needs to be very strong!. So that would be good another thing is break dancing classes!. He should take them if you can find one in your area!. Hip Hop classes also can sometimes have break dancing in them!. Good LuckWww@QuestionHome@Com

Ummmm it depends where you are!.!.!.
I learned from actual B-boys but i guess your son should take a dance class ut do not put him in a hip-hop dance class!.!.!.
It wont help him at all i suggest find a real breakdancer that is willing to help you if not there is always youtube (:Www@QuestionHome@Com

Get your son into a dance class- I'm sure you can find somewhere listed on the internet!.

By the way!.!.!. I just wanted to ask- Did you get your 'name' from the Simpsons!? From the episode where the teachers go on strike!? "Purple Monkey Dishwasher!" If so, Bravo!

I know in my town they have break dancing classes, so maybe look in your local newspaper because I know that since it's almost back to school time, a lot of classes are starting!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Tumbling and gymnastics along with Dance classes would be great for that!!!

Wow, good parent award for supporting your kid!
