Position:Home>Dancing> 2 questions on breakdancing.?Question: 2 questions on breakdancing!.!? 1!. Ok, first, what moves should i learn next!? I can do the turtle freeze, baby freeze, toprock, a handstand and think its called handglide (where you spin on 1 hand!.)!. I can also pop and do the same style as phillip chbeeb (even though im not close to being as good as him)!. I can do the wave and do some liquid dance too!.
2!. What combos could i do with these moves!? Thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Aight, well ima try to help you out as a bboy myself!. First off, you really don't need classes for these!. Many Bboys are self-taught, especially the pros who are taught from the streets!. I'm self-taught and never took classes and doin fine!. You really need to be dedicated and work hard, cuz you won't get it in days!. also BBoying is all about ORIGINALITY and CREATIVITY!. You need to build upon your foundations and develop your own style of bboying!. You aren't limited to any certain moves you have to do, and you can make up your own moves and combos!. This is something classes really can't teach you!. Bboying is all about dancing your own way, not choreography!. Lets see!.!.!. you got some toprock and freezes down, thats good, but no footwork!? But lemme give you a list of basics and foundation!. BBoying obviously has 4 parts: Toprock, Footwork, Freezes, and Power Moves!. 1!. Toprock (Foundation) ~Indian Step/Crossover ~Hip Twist ~Kick Step ~Latin Rock 2!. Footwork (Foundation) ~6 step ~3 step ~2 step ~12 step 3!. Freezes ~Turtle Freeze ~Baby Freeze ~Chair Freeze ~Shoulder Freeze 4!. Power Moves ~Basic Floats - Handglide and Turtles ~Windmills ~Swipes ~Backspin You should really concentrate on your foundation and getting it smooth and comfortable!. So keep working on your toprock and footwork!. And don't rush into learning power moves!. And popping ain;t a part of bboying, but you could "mix" some moves into your toprock and footwork, but dont blend too much!. Next, you should learn some transtions from toprock to footwork (drops) and footwork to footowork!. 1!. Drops (Toprock to Footwork) ~Knee Drop ~Corkscrew ~Front and Back Sweeps ~Corkscrew Knee Drop 2!. Footwork Techs (Footwork to Footwork) ~CC's ~Shuffles ~Zulu Spins These will be your basic transtions to make going from move to move smoothly!. Some basic combos and sets: Toprock > Knee Drop > 6 step > CC > 12 step > Baby Freeze Toprock > Corkscrew > 6 step > Shuffle > 6 step > 2 step > Chair Freeze That's really the basics that I can give you!. I suggest you look a this site for guides that will really help you: http://www!.bboy!.org/Www@QuestionHome@Com Well, you need to remember that all the foundation stuff are basic moves that are meant to be built upon, thus are handy to learn!. However, although they are priceless in helping you learn other moves quicker and allowing you to default back to these universal moves when you are freestyling they are not essential!. I say!.!.!. go on youtube, look at what you like anywhere from break dancing to freestyle dancing to house dancing!.!.!. and imitate the stuff!. For instance, there are lots of little footwork movements that house dancers will do or jazz dancers that are not foundation six steps but can be worked into break dancing routines!. I suggest getting a lot of little easy to learn movements off other people and work on combining them!. At the same time, work on maybe one or two more acrobatic moves such as a flare, backflip, one-handed air freeze, swipe, or windmill!. These take much longer to master because of the physical aspect, so concentrate on only a couple at once!. I used to bboy competitively for about ten years!. I'll tell you that if you want to win competitions, you need to know your foundation very well!. If you just want to dance to have fun and look cool, just practice what you personally think looks cool!.Www@QuestionHome@Com 1!. It depends!.!.!. what level you are on and if you take classes!.!.!. then ask your coach about it!.!.!. 2!. I did break dancing classes for 6 years but I quitted 3 years ago becuase of work!.!.!. So I can't remember what the combo is called!.!.!. But it's where you are ina handstand and backflip into a windmill!.Www@QuestionHome@Com hm, i c that u dont have any footwork down!? start by learning 6step and 3 step!.!.!. once u get that, u can make a basic set: toprock > 6 step > 3 step > baby freeze *downrock (footwork) is a foundation that is necessary!. - Bboy LiGhTWww@QuestionHome@Com There is only one answer in regards to any breakdancing question: A: don't!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
