How to TOPROCK. a tutorial/guide by yabei yell-O

[Mr16thPrestige]

"So now i'll teach You a toprock. It's basicly a basic toprock"...is it just me or does something there feel unecesarry?

[yellowpaco]

@Mr16thPrestige your terrible spelling of the word unnecessary hahahahaha.

[DaFree0ne]

Damn I am not understanding it that much >.<

[AirbounDance]

[relicstyle90]

Thanks man !! I like house dancing but I don't know how but wow I think If I do the 3rd top rock and do it medium to slow speed I can really start from their and try to incorporate house dancing .. I have a hard time with my left leg in any kind of dancing:( .. Do you have insuggestions for me to lead me in the right direction? Thankgs again for your video and time.

1st toprock - Cross step

2nd toprock - Cross step variation

3rd toprock - Salsa

[RiceIsDaName]

[100442a]

shittest toprock i've ever seen.

[yellowpaco]

haha thank you. but this isn't me toprocking. its me teaching.

my toprocks are in battles and you can check my favs. my most recent fav is a toprock battle :D

[100442a]

...

nvm ur good. dam good too.

[yellowpaco]

haha thanks :D

[Fo0LzGold]

check out his videos, hes sick

[BIGT1ME]

last one is called salsa rock...

IM NOT HATING....but your teaching people your style of the basics...toprock is very personal so u should try to make it more raw so that people put their own flavor on it...and indian step is definitely one of the basics so you should have included it. anyways good over all...

[IstayUnmotivated]

whats your definition of more raw

[BIGT1ME]

i dont know if this example would help at all...is kinda hard to explain but is like tofu. by itself it doesnt taste like much but then you mix it with a sauce it taste much like the sauce. thats what i meant. he is basically teaching "his" top rock in a way. sorry if i didnt explain myself well enough.lol..

[Compassionless]

3rd top rock is half of a "4 corners" top rock, anywhoo nice vid

[Farfetnoogen]

It looks a little bit like a salsa. =)

[Mulletboi86]

what was the name of the song that you used towards the end?

[BboyBDAndres]

good toprock tutorial : ).. check my toprock

[bboytormento]

man u very good.....

[PhlyPinoy]

Very simple yet clean! Ive been learning top rock for a week or so and almost got the basics thanks to this.

Im expecting more tuts from you peace.

[bboyroy93]

you are a good teacher for the toprock ;) i m waiting for a new lesson

[lpsn360]

very very good

tnk

[hackscapemigs]

thankss!! my top rock was the first one u taught. and it was shit . ur my hero. no homo

[ieatconheo]

is it alright if i stay onmy toes

[yellowpaco]

balls of your feet

[ieatconheo]

wwhat that mean ball on your feet?

[CTsUrbanNinja]

the third one is called the kick step. Lol but good teachin it.

[jamjarone]

if you want some good break beats check out the rock steady 30th tribute album there are alot of classics on there, but there are break beats in most types of music eg pop soul funk, any 4 peice band with some kinda strings drums horns and bass has potential- great stuff YELL-O very clear tutorial thanks i hope you go far-peace

[yellowpaco]

thank you very much!!!

[c3p2i]

thanks man. you saved me from my embarrassing top rock. haha
