    I have been dancing for almost 9 years now but my background is mainly in jazz, ballet, and what they called “hip-hop” but it was more closely related to jazz. I have the flexibility and musicality but I would love to learn how to breakdance. In two years I want to be seen as the best break dancer at my studio. Got any good tips for beginners?

    Here’s How:
    Warm up before you begin. Perform stretch exercises before and after breakdancing to increase flexibility and reduce risk of injuries.

    Instructions are only here to guide you. Develop your own style after learning individual moves.

    Incorporate other forms of dance where appropriate.

    When possible, practice on a large smooth floor. Crash pads, cushioned surfaces, and wrestling mats are good for practice as well.

    Practice with other breakdancers.

    Tips:
    Music- Breakdancing is also known as hip-hop dance, so the type of music required is mostly hip-hop. There are also some good uptempo jazz tunes that work just as well.

    Watch Other Breakers- Go to clubs and parties and check out some b-boy battles.

    Record Yourself- Have a friend record you with a camcorder or take pictures of your moves.

    Use Mirrors- In the absence of a dance partner, practice in front of a large mirror.

    What You Need:
    helmet
    gloves
    knee pads
    elbow pads
    Headband
    wrist band
    Sneakers

    Here are some moves

    *Hand Glide*
    Put your hand on the floor with the elbow of that hand in your stomach. You should be able to balance your body on that hand while stabing yourself with the other hand. Keep your feet off the ground by having your heels against the back of your legs. Then, with your free hand, push along the floor until you are going fast.

    –Tips–
    It’s best to put something on your hand that can slide a long the ground smoothly. Get into the position for this move fast for it to look good. Work on your wrist muscles for this move.
    ——————————————————————————–

    *Head Spin*
    Do a head stand but instead having both of your hands on floor, in front of you. Have one hand on the floor behind you and one infront of you. Then spread your legs as far apart as you can spread them. Then quickly bring them together. As your are bringing your feet together with you hands, push your head around.
    –Tips–
    Do not attempt this move with out doing neck strengthing exercises regularlly. If you are just starting, it’s best to wear a toque.
    ——————————————————————————–

    *TURTLES*
    Why is it also called a float? Because the 2nd part to this move is moving. Yup, you read right. Once you master being able to balance in this awkward position you must now be able to move around in a circle, idealy you should be able to walk forward and backward as well, using only your hands. Moving in a circle is easier than walking forwards or backwards. In order to move around, you have to shift all your body weight to one arm, so that for about a half second the only thing keeping your face from becoming a bloody mess is one arm. Then you land on the other arm, balancing all weight on that arm, and so on and so forth. While you are on each arm you make a very slight turn, so little by little you begin to move.
    When you first practise this you should move slowly. As you get better you will move like LIGHTNING speed and that’s when you really impress an audience.

    ——————————————————————————–

    *Six Step*

    Ok this is the backbone of breakdancing. THis looks like the person doing it is dancing in a circle on the floor with all four limbs. You start off in a push-up position (dosen’t have to start this way it’s just easy to describe it from here) and you lift your right arm.(step 1) Place your left foot through where your right arm used to be. (step 2) Now bring your right leg forward and put your right foot into your left leg’s joint. (where your leg bends at, like your armpit)(3) Now, quickly kick your left leg high in the air and put it down in front of you for a spilt second, then slide it under your butt so you are sitting on your bent leg. At the same time (step 4) swing your right leg in a wide circle and wrap it around your left leg at the same time putting your right hand down and raising your left hand up to allow for the legs to pass through, so that now your left foot is flat on the floor knee facing up and your right foot is sideways on the floor , the flat part of it facing behind you. Steps 3 and 4 can be changed around in how you link them, but either way they must be done quickley. (Step 5)Now put your LEFT foot back into a push-up position, (step 6) and THEN your right leg. Do steps 5 and 6 in a clear manner. Don’t do these steps too quickly. You should be back into a push-up position, just repeat the steps now. (It’s really hard to describe this in text but I’ll try to add some visual aids later)
    Eventually you must learn to link powermoves like windmills and flares into your six-step, and to “tech” the six step, which means adding extra moves or things like spinning on your knees or quickly moving in a counter-clockwise direction then moving back into a clock-wise direction. Things like that.

    i want to learn kickass breakdance moves..like windmills turtels arches..everything to be honest..is there any type of site or anything thate’l show u step by step on how to do them..?


  6. admin Says:

    Zach – like I know it doesnt sound credible, but just try this out, you’ll be really surprised. Go down to your local community college – if your in a city go to a couple. Most community colleges offer not credited courses and just crazy adult learning programs. but teens go too. I learned to swing dance, play piano, play backgammon, learn photography all at a decent level at a community college. I have seen them break dancing there too at the dance lessons. I bet someone teaches it near you. The internet? You may have to get your hands on some Napoleon Dynamite – and watch it real slow and replicate – then throw in some james ramey dale night fever and try to mix the two… I dont know – try the school first, you could get hurt without propper instruction.

  9. Eric Says:

    I want to learn to break dance i also want to learn all the names of the breakdance moves any sugestions.


  10. Firsttimemother Says:

    well you can always go to youtube and do some researching
    However id suggest goign to a studio, though some dont offer breakdancing classes (the correct name is b-boy) usually some breakdancers ask the studios if they can use their rooms to practice.

    a good intro to b-boyin is this video that shows you the basic six-step

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc0vUoI_KUk

    that’s what i first did to make sure i wanted to learn b-boy and it’s hella fun

    you can also try this, it’s fun too :D

  11. Eric Says:

    I have been wanting to breakdance for a long time but i haven’t been able to find a place to do it. Are there any online courses or summer camps that could teach me how to do it?


  12. :) Says:

    try looking in the Internet for courses in your area.


  13. Tom Says:

    Im 14 and always wanted to break dance, but I dont know where to start. I never heard of breakdancing lessons so im just wondering how to get started and what not


  14. kismetkidd Says:

    i’ve wondered and wanted to know the same,
    i assumed that if your friends could do it, then they might teach you.

    I think there are breakdancing classes,
    But if you learn to take hip hop classes and gymnastics and then search certain break dancing moves on youtube and learn from there.

    Basically you need to learn to incorporate everything you learnt and you need to be flexible.


  15. Jobo Says:

    What is the best DVD to buy for learning how to break dance as well and/or hip hop dance?

    Im looking for professionals, that would be able to learned by their tutorials.
    And also, if there are any GOOD free tutorials online for either, where could i find them at?

    Any help would be appreciated

    You may be able to find some at your local library. You can rent it for free. If you like it and want to purchase a copy, your library may be able to find a copy for you to purchase.

    You can also go to Blockbuster or Borders.
