emotions through movement.
• When you see people break dance you are
amazed at what they are doing because you
would never think that somebody can do that.

of hip hop.

• A b-girl is a female break dancer
• Break dancing is not just for guys but girls can
do it to.
• Anybody can break dance it just takes a lot of
time to practice. Sometimes it can take years
to practice.

6. Poses
• A pose is a little freeze that can be done at anytime during a
show.
• When you do a pose it is amazing because it usually involves
lifting your own body weight or a lot of flexibility which really
amazes people.
• There are different poses. There are:
-headstands which take balance technique and neck strength.
-floor poses which take technique and sum strength
-and handstand poses which take a lot of strength and
balance.

7. Top Rock (up rock)
• Top rock or up rock as I and many people like
to call it takes a lot of style.
• Anybody can do it you just have to have style.
• There are certain steps to up rock like indian
step, march step, and cross step.
• When you up rock be sure you can always go
into a power move or footwork. Because up
rock is part of the chain to a b-boy or b-girl.

8. Power Moves
• Power moves are moves that look amazing making you think
“I wonder if I can do that?”
• Power are things like windmills, flares, air flares, and more.
• Power moves take a lot of strength and and technique to do.
But when you do it, it’s the thing the wins you the crowd.
• Power complete a break dancer because in a battle or jam
people want to see something amazing not just clean
footwork, or a dope up rock. They want to some power moves
things they can’t do.

9. Footwork
• Footwork I basically kind of like up rock but on the floor.
• Types of footwork:
-there is 6 step ( basic )
-3 step
-4 step
-floor rock
-and glides
• Footwork is mostly technique and practice. Not much power is needed
when doing footwork.
• And from footwork you can always go into a power move.

10. Flips
• Flips are things that also amaze the crowd.
• Because when people see someone flip it makes them think if they can do
it.
• Types of flips:
-there are side flips
-front and back flips
-and more
• Flipping is a balance between technique and skill.
• When flipping you must not be scared or else you will mess up and fail.
• So remember if your going to do a flip show no fear!!!!

11. So when Break Dancing
• Remember you won’t get everything first try.
• You will need to practice a lot.
• Try to learn everything form flips, to poses, to footwork, to
power moves, to up rock.
• And learn to try not to be scared of just doing things because
in break dance you can’t have a lot of fear.
• Learn all of that and you will become a great break dancer.
