How to Breakdance
When one thinks of breakdance, the image of a
cool, hip-hop dude, doing extremely acrobatic, hot moves on the dance floor
comes to your mind.
The history behind the breakdance moves has many versions
just like the dance and dates back as far as 1969. With the growth of the hip
hop culture, breakdance and its twin the 'electrical boogie' grew leaps and
bounds in America. Breakdance even featured in many Hollywood movies produced
in the 1980s. Then suddenly after 1984, the culture of breakdancing began to
fade away.
Slowly, it has again gained momentum and many dance videos and shows
have begun to showcase breakdance. The hip-hop, ultra cool culture of
breakdancing is back and many want to attempt to learn breakdance.
If you wish to stretch your body to the
limits, then try to learn breakdance. B-boying the other term used for
breakdancing consists of top or up rock, footwork, power moves and freeze. It
has originated from Bronx, NY and the name B-boyin was created by Kool Herc. He
was a DJ spinning for block parties in Bronx. The term B-boys means to break
boys. It is so-called boys dance to break part of music. A movie produced in
1983, 'Flashdance' was the first major movie that featured B-boying. It had a
great impact on the young minds then and lead to the production of many other
movies like 'Breakin', Breakin 2', and Beat Street'. Beat Street created an
even major impact and the media popularized the dance moves as 'breakdance'.
The excessive media coverage led to an over saturation of breakdance and it
became a fad in the minds of people. Soon media got over B-boying and people
thought it was a dead art. Then, soon after 1985, came the long winter years of
breakdancing. Then around 1997, slowly but steadily the winter years began to
lift from breakdancing.
Breakdance for Beginners
Well, the
most basic moves to learn to breakdance involves 6-steps and toprock. As you
move further and as you master these basic steps, you will discover rest of the
dance is based on these two elements. When starters learn to breakdance, they
usually begin with toprocking and then continue to go down to the floor
performing 6 step or 4 step. These moves can be heavily 'teched'. The base for
other complex moves and other power moves is formed with 6 steps.
The dance
usually begins with a 6 step, then the power moves and ends with a 'freeze'.
The freeze is a move in which the dancer contorts his body to a strange
position and literally freezes and stops all dance moves. He remains in this
position for a second or more and different freeze styles enhance the style of
break dancer. The following are the basic dance moves that help you warm up on
the dance floor. These moves also help you catch your breath between moves and
are the basic dance steps of breakdancing.
ü You should be
standing and start on your left foot with your right foot back.
ü Now jump
forward onto the right foot and simultaneously send your left foot back. Your
feet should not touch the ground till they are to step on the floor. Also do
not drag them as you would in a moonwalk.
ü The next move
is the transition, where your left foot comes forward halfway and the right
foot swings back halfway. The right foot should swing back in an arc.
ü The right foot
should swing in place of the left as the left foot rears back.
ü With your left
foot kick forward and back with your right. The body weight should land on the
left and arms should be swung back to balance the motion. As you get hold of
the motions, swinging your arms will come naturally to you.
ü Step forward
halfway on your right and swing the left back in an arc.
ü Now switch
from right to left and begin the dance counterclockwise.
Step by Step Instructions
I will cover the 6 step
dance move in how to break dance step by step. This will help you establish
momentum and put you in position for more complex moves. You need to use your
arms to support the body and legs to walk around in a circle. Lets begin to
groove:
Bring the right leg
forward and extend it in front of the left from a push up position. Your left
leg should not be moved and lean on the outer side of your right shoe. Your
left hand should be taken off the floor.
Pull the left leg
forward till it bends and touches the back of your right leg. The right leg
should by now be wrapped around the left leg. You will find yourself in a
tilted cross-legged position and your left hand still in air.
Now move into a crab
position by bringing your right leg out from around left leg. Then plant the
right foot down, next to the left foot that is shoulder width apart. The left
hand should be placed on the floor behind you.
Keep you right hand up
and move your right leg behind you.
Then extending your
left leg back, put your right hand down and go back into a push up position
again.
These are the simple
moves of breakdancing. You can even try a variation on the above steps that
involves the crab position. You can just put your right hand on the floor
behind and not both your hands, thus, not getting into the crab position. As
you get into the next step, switch your hands quickly, that is, lift off your
right hand and put the left hand on the floor, as you move your legs. You need
to remain light on your feet and once you master these moves, try doing it
counterclockwise.
Breakdancing Dos and
Don'ts
Please do not think
these are very easy moves to learn. You will need your joints to be strong
enough to withstand the power moves and after months of brushing you can do
these steps as a pro. The following instructions need to be followed by
children, need to be practiced by adults as well, before trying the above 6
step dance moves.
Always warm up before
you begin to breakdance. You should carry out some stretch exercises before and
after to help increase flexibility and reduce risk of injuries.
Practice on a smooth,
large floor and make sure you have plenty of crush pads, cushioned surfaces and
wrestling mats for cushioning your fall during practice.
Never ever booze and do
the breakdance. This will ultimately result in only broken bones and not the
actual breakdance.
Never attempt to do a
breakdance in public before reviewing yourself in a self video. You should
first be confident of your moves and show the video to close friends and if the
end result is good, try it on the dance floor, else it may lead to a broken
ego, than a great breakdance move.
The Basic Moves of
Breakdance
Listed below are the
basic moves of breakdance.
Top Rock: This is a
simple dance that is done standing, to help begin with breakdancing. It is an
obvious dance move, as it is very unorthodox looking.
Uprock: This is a type
of top rock that looks very rhythmic. Do not confuse top rock and up rock. You
can refer to the basic dance moves mentioned above for moves related to up
rock.
6-Step: This looks like
walking in a circle on the ground. You need to have one hand on the floor at
all times. This the building block dance step when trying to learn to
breakdance.
Moonwalk: This is one
move where the dancer slides back while the legs look moving forward. Observe
Michael Jackson do the ultimate moonwalk for some inspiration.
Worm: A dance move in
which the dancer lies on the floor and a rippling motion is formed through his
body. You can do this move forward or backward and shift your weight from the
upper body to lower body or vice versa.
This is an interesting
form of dance and needs a lot of practice and patience to master. You should
observe other break dancers carefully and then attempt the moves. Breakdance is
full of fun and risk. If you have the urge to taste excitement and danger in
one go, then breakdance is your answer. Breakdance is not only breaking the
music, but it may also result in breaking bones. So, practice, practice and
practice your dancing moves and show off your cool self on the dance floor with
breakdance.

Warning: If you try these breakdance
moves, it is at your own risk. In case you are a beginner, learn the basic
moves well, then move on to the advance form of breakdancing. Warm up before
you begin breakdancing. Always practice on a soft, cushioned floor, to minimize
the risk of injury.

How to
Judge a Breakdance Battle.
Breakdancing is a very expressive form of dance.
Each
b-boy or b-girl tells a story during a battle. In addition to noting the skill
of each dancer, you have to be able to interpret the story of each dancer's
moves in order to judge a breakdance battle. Know the moves. In order to be a
good breakdance battle judge, you have to know the proper way to perform every
move that the b-boys and b-girls do during the battle. Most battle judges are
b-boys and b-girls who have titles from other battles. Keep an open mind. Since
breakdancing is an interpretive form of dance, you have to try to understand
the story a dancer is telling in each routine. If all of the dancers in a
battle have an equal skill level, you will have to take the effectiveness of
each one's storytelling into account to pick a winner.
