How to Breakdance | Flares | Power Move Basics

[Twitcheypickin]

I am not very flexible at all. Will I be able to learn to breakdance or do I need to get flexible first?

Im just kinda daydreaming on the idea right now.

[gameboymyles]

ahh, ive been doing this backwards for half a week... no wonder i was making no progress

[MrYellowProductions]

yo vince r u Japanese or Filipino? LOL 

[lachlanjones24]

for some reason my momentum drops on my first flare and i can't raise my my hand, any advice... i kick as hard as i can, i keep my hips high, i place my hand properly but i can't raise my hand??

[PrinceOfNsanity]

How do you not break your wrists Vince!?

[MsMi321]

hardest move ever :/ ll say its harder than the air flare, i mean i have very little handstand balance but i managed one, here i jump up get my legs split and then my hips fall when im at the peak but still spinning any help??

[zholerz]

hey brother how to open legs when you are at your bck?

[lendragonify]

u cool man fanks i got it in two days fanks again

[xXTheDangerusXx]

TANKS}¡¡ BRO U R a Very NIce Teacher

[OdysseyCheerBadass]

sir maybe you should also mention the fact that if your not flexible at then this will not be possible. remember to stretch everyy day till it hurts. after awhile itll stop hurting and youll be able to kick around like he does...

[jillgab03]

is it necessary that my legs can "almost" do splits?

[VincaniTV]

@jillgab03 No they just need to be open and straight

[Bboyswagger45]

@VincaniTV do you need to do more training or do you just have to practice the flare because my break dances and he said training and learning other power moves help you

[JayXshot1]

The first kick to the second my left leg doesnt go high enough for the right leg to go through can u give me some tips

[itschoiboi]

@JayXshot1 Just let it go, most likely you're holding back because you don't want to fall hard. Instead let yourself fall on floor because i'm guessing you always land on one foot first to catch yourself. also don't do a "hop" of the leg supporting your weight when your doing the sweep from behind, this will throw most of your momentum up against you instead of helping you get the 2nd leg up and across.

[NoDoubtQpang1]

My problem is that i feel that im on a wrong position , thats why i cant kick my foot up.

[KurasZeng]

hey, im having trouble transitioning from my first kick to the second kick.

what do you think i should try?

[VincaniTV]

@KurasZeng Find a softer surface and just go for it. You also might not be high enough so make sure you learn back on your hands

[KurasZeng]

@VincaniTV thanks, ill try that

[IamPikaaaChuuu]

I've been doing flares(counter-clock) alot lately and badly injured my left wrist. did it ever happened to you?

[VincaniTV]

@IamPikaaaChuuu yeah u just gotta take it easy. Let ur wrist heal then practice again

[btrick100]

@IamPikaaaChuuu this happened to me too. same direction same wrist. your wrist is not used to being under so much pressure so you'll have to give your wrist time to adjust.

[RaymarcDeJesus]

I land on my ass , it hurts . Boobies , yes .

[sam20991]

i love you now

[timothyy7]

Hey Vince, how many flares can you do without stopping?

[45hotboy]

hey vincant i have some problems with my flares when u first started learning flares when u kick out of the flare and place ur right hand down did it hurt u? cuz i go clock wise so when i kick out of the flare i dont know wre to put my left hand so i just naturally place it down and it hurts a lot please help me vincent

[XanderWentworth]

Hey Vince, could you possibly create a playlist and put the tutorials in order of what we should learn first - starting with the very basics - to what what should learn last - the most difficult moves?

Thanks!

[AndjJ1]

He vince, thanks for all the videos, you're really helping me come up with my own style, so thanks. When i flare (I pilot on my left too) I can get one but many times when im kicking back, my right foot scrapes the floor any tips on how to get more lift, and a trick to be able to get multiple flares, i just crash trying the second one :/

Hope you can help, thanks. Bboy Moon

[royfirehero]

Thanks man, This is by far one of the best flare tutorial i've seen. =D My flares are better than my old ones..

[yanRyan24]

*Help* I pilot with my right foot, and when i'm bout to get into a flare after I kick my legs, once I put my left hand down my left leg usually crashes...any tips?

and also when i'm about to switch hands any way to reduce the impact on how hard my hand hits the ground when i'm switching hands?

[origamikid000]

hey vince ive been practicing flares for a couple of months now, and i cant get to the back of the flare i learned the drill for going to the back of it but i cant get to the back of the flare any suggestions

[ichbinvidi]

Yo Vince ;)... My name is Vince too xD..

Well, i´m not too sure in which video you told us to learn the fundations first before trying power moves, because it will be much easier in after.

So may you please make a video showing us the foundations?

Does foundations mean the basics of breakdance? Like toprock and so on? sixstep?

thanks ;)

[VincaniTV]

@ichbinvidi Whats up Vince haha Make sure you learn basic footwork, toprocks and freezes so that you have a background on dancing before you get into harder stuff

[thescooterman5]

@VincaniTV hey u know in ur demo reel u did that flare with legs together

i can get the start but cant continue the flare please tell me how

p.s love ur vids

[chay100372]

@VincaniTV can you organize the foundations in a playlist or something? sorry, i know it includes 6 step and top rock but thats pretty much all im informed of

[VincaniTV]

@chay100372 There should be a playlist for footwork, toprocks, freezes, powermoves and get downs

[xXLeahXayasaengXx]

How Long did it take for you to get it?

[Chuks858]

@VincaniTV

*finishing one flare*

Wen i start i get good height but my starting leg doesn't go up after it swings and wen it does my hand hits off it(wen I'm about to finish dat flare)

Do u have any tips u could give me

Great tutorial btw :)

[VirtualCrewify]

also are there any stretches i should do before i do it?

[alvin9559]

hey man rally good vid but how cn u protects your hands and wrists if they hurt while doing this move cuz when i put the second hand in while practicing it hurts thnx

[LonelySoulxxx]

hey VInce, do you need strong arm strength to do the flare?

[VirtualCrewify]

my body goes around to the left. so when im just about to do my first flare my right leg keeps hitting the ground. help me out

[jinmin978]

i recommend mastering the v kick first....i could do 1 flare so far....

[dannykarma1]

thnx this was very helpfull

[Janzkie071]

hey vince do i need core strength in this move????

[cedscorer16]

@VincaniTV Hey can u make a coin drop tutorial? Thx!

[rockingmkg100]

plllllzzzzzzzzz help me @VincaniTV

[Bgirl0016]

Um I get stuck swinging my legs to the front. I fall...do u get what im sayin? lol

[LSAProdz671]

Hey Vincani I can barley do one but my problem when do my flare and get the full rotation i land on both of my knees. Got any tips to keep the rotation going or at least land on my feet.

[Anteater912]

Hey Vince i have problems swinging my hips still

anymore tips?

[MrComment05]

Damn, its so hard to kick up when Im starting to do the flare!

[MrYellowProductions]

Thx i appreciate it

[MrYellowProductions]

Hey Vince, im having trouble swinging my foot through do u have any suggestions?

[VincaniTV]

@MrYellowProductions Lean on your arm and make sure your swing your hips

[Noahor98]

hey vince how long did it take you personally to learn the flare

[VincaniTV]

@Noahor98 Hmm maybe a couple months to get it down but honestly I still spend time training them to make them better. So you gotta always stay learning

[superwockeezholla]

thanks so much! this really helps

[bboyfolife69]

hey vincani, how old were you when you started bboying? im 17 and i just started but one of my friends said that im too old and i should of started when i was a little kid. he also said it would take me about 10 years to be a decent bboy.

[keykikoo]

I'm 19 years old.

am I too old for learning this (flares) ?

[VincaniTV]

@keykikoo nope never to old. Its all about detication

[FailChonnyCrew]

who taught you to dance?

[VincaniTV]

@FailChonnyCrew Myself and my friends kind of just taught ourselves in our school hall ways and in our garages. Back then there wasnt youtube and we couldnt afford to buy bboy vhs tapes so we got inspired off other things like martial arts videos, tap dancing and folk dancing. Later on a guy named Tet taught me all the terminology and basics

[SuperAlmightyAsian]

does it matter if i use the hand opposite to what hand I baby freeze with

[CLOWNpower213]

i cant get it i can only du 1 of them

[pimpforsucker1]

I got this down after just 2 days. it's not that hard

[jRoBoTiX17]

@VancaniTV i cant seem to keep myself up/ kick my foot up while trying to make space for my other leg to swing under. And when i do i usually collaspe halfway after i complete it :/

[CalvINMyPants]

the best way to get that 2nd flare is to keep practicing the back to the front as much as possible until you can get around from it, correct?

[KevinnXu]

hey, can you look at my recent flare tip video? thanks.. been tryin to flare for a while.. ;s

[ChaoticRave118]

Helloo do you mind dropping a bit of advice for me? I've been working on flares lately and i can get 1 clean and then a 2nd sloppy one but its sloppy because when my legs go back behind me my legs seem to bend and i don't know how to stop that. Any advice would be awesome :D much love from a bboy in training

[VincaniTV]

@ChaoticRave118 Hmm just focus on that one flare until you got it not problem. Then just push yourself to do 5 at a time. A lot of people kick to hard in the front and not hard enough in the back so make sure you swing like a hula hoop

[MrYellowProductions]

Can u do make a coin drop tutorial plz every time i try it i feel like im breaking my spine. I would really appreciate it if u did thx:)

[SniperManiacz877x]

[Viet7Long]

Awesome tutorials, keep em up.

I envy how you make it look so easy :)

[117tuancw]

how do you get your leg more close to your upper body like you did at 1:10?

[ichibipier]

0:19 he sais flare is a difficult move

but the title of the vid sais basic!!!!!

[VincaniTV]

@ichibipier For anyone starting off flares is a dificult move and does take months to years to master. However if you look at the bigger picture a flare is just a basic of power moves.

[N99Goboree]

I mastered it

[davidcoco54]

everytime i get to the right hand i always collapse please help with some advice

[kibaboy99]

whenever i try to flare, i land on my left foot, i go clockwise, how do i fix that?

[xOmegaBoss]

I place my hand down, swing my leg behind the other, but I get the second leg up and that's it.. What am I not doing?

[glowingmist00]

i have a hard time lifting my second leg .... is there anyway that i can work on that?

[TeamJelena1000]

Can I use this video for my school project? Please reply ASAP!

[edwardlee123ful]

/watch?v=xpCizuwOxWw

[BboyObliterate]

I Cant Stress Enough How Much I Watched This & Try To Take It Slowly, But For Some Reason I Can't Get The Bak Part Of The Flare, I Go Clockwise, So When I Sweep My Right Leg, Put My Left Leg Up, Right Leg Goes Up, My Left Leg Would Go Down But Also My Right Leg, I Cant Hold My Right For Long, & I Cant Get My Left Up There As Well, Is There Any Advice U Could Give? I Been Stuck On That Part For AWHILE Now

[04Fobs]

are you left or right handed if u pilot with left

[VincaniTV]

@04Fobs im right handed but I pilot on my left. Its really up to you and what comes easy. Just be sure to learn all your power the same way 1st because it will be a lot easier.

[ooeeooahah2007]

"you gotta swing like a hula hoop"

i've always been bad at hula hooping lol

[averagejoedance]

question, how do you kick the second leg and hold it there cause mine seems to come down to soon stoping my flare?

[VincaniTV]

@averagejoedance hmm try walking through the motion and then commit your self to doing it. Sometimes it helps to just watch someone doing flares and then do them.

[averagejoedance]

@VincaniTV ok, thanks and i think i have another problem im not getting my waste up, do i need to lean back or kick up harder?

[VincaniTV]

@averagejoedance kick harder and swing your hips like a hula hoop

[narutokun616]

which is harder vince flares or airflares

[EnigmaticElement]

@narutokun616 One of them is in the air, what do you think?

[jhonrelojo]

its freakin hard... damn!!

[alegria13121]

[bboyShinsetsu]

[LilAznOrginization]

@VincaniTV ight thanx we go the same way wooo!!!(well just power for footwork/foundation i go ClockWise)

[redentor78]

Is it possible to reverse the direction of the flare at mid kick?

[SkidCwalk]

Love your videos it is the best flare tutorial i have ever seen

greetz from germany

[davidcoco54]

can u help me plz when im on my right hand ( i go counter clockwise too) my hand always falls down and like i cant get to the back part do u hane any advice??? Btw ur flares r SICK

[davidcoco54]

whens the second windmill coming out cause i waited so long for it plzz reply

[VincaniTV]

@davidcoco54 Probably sometime in Jan. Coming soon is Air Flares, 12 step, 2 step and Head Spins

[blackosaurious]

@VincaniTV your gonna teach windmills after airflares?

[BboyWildWind]

@VincaniTV Cool , hope to see some great tutorials from you .

[bboysyfy1]

so instead of just trying regular flares I should try ny flare at the same time to get the continuous motion?

[VincaniTV]

@bboysyfy1 get the form down for 1 flare and then take off and work on doing 2-5

[asdfdg11]

@VincaniTV is it too late to learn how to breakdance if ur already 20?

[EnigmaticElement]

@asdfdg11 Never too late.

[asdfdg11]

@EnigmaticElement are u sure? cuz most bboy i know they started at the young age like 10-12.. and they become really good at almost around age 20.. and my bones are already stiff so idk if i can still be flexible like them

[EnigmaticElement]

@asdfdg11 Yes, I'm absolutely sure. I've been breaking for a decent amount of time and I know for a fact that, believing in stuff like that won't get you anywhere. All you need to do is believe in yourself, and train. You'll get anywhere you want as long as you train. Stretching builds flexibility no matter what age. Starting older has its benefits as well, such as already having the strength for many of the moves. All you need to do is hone that strength through work.

[EnigmaticElement]

@asdfdg11 I'm not gonna say it's easy, because at the beginning no matter what age it's not but one day you'll get there as long as you train and believe. Wherever you want there to be. Whether it be a huge competition on the world stage, or a small bboy jam, a cypher, or just getting down for the love of it. Do it for yourself, and everything will fall into place. As long as you don't quit.

[bboysyfy1]

@VincaniTV I can do one good flare I have trouble going into my second round. I feel like my hips go to high in the back?

[cedscorer16]

@VincaniTV How long exactly did it take you to get this down? I saw this tutorial a couple days ago and I wanted to know exactly how long it took you to get this down. ( I practice everyday)

[PlarVidz]

you should do a 2000's/1990's tutorial. PLEASE!

[JigglyChuck]

after watching this i went to get shoes to start practiceing, immediately busted my toe on a stool....

[narutokun616]

rock on left handers

[TerenceChay]

Which is easier? Windmill or flare? @VincaniTV

[VincaniTV]

To help with you strength do push UPS, sit UPS and pull UPS. 3 sets of 5-30 depending on how many u can do. Bboying is mainly core strength.

[alibaba5611]

1990 please? :D

[chshwong]

thumb up if you came because of David So

[VincaniTV]

Mrbee start with basic top rocks and footwork.

[TheAsianbudda]

i wanna learn to Bboy but im to fat... i weigh 250

[anti20]

@TheAsianbudda watch this guy

watch?v=o_U-I-ea3mE

get motivated

size does not matter

its all about motivation and determination

[RifleMatthew]

soooo clean

[MrBee21375]

I wanna learn b boying now but what moves do i start with?

[VincaniTV]

Yes girls can do anything guys can

[Imases]

@VincaniTV pee standing up too?

[carmenho0117]

Should a girl learn flare?

[brandonmwang]

you should give personal lessons

[Dachopstickzz]

one person fell on their butt

[iFarterHarder]

@VincaniTV Hey im 12 and i wanna learn how to bboy... Is there any point if i even attempt this? I cant even figure out how to swipe my right leg then kick my left leg up.

[VeradoonKing]

@iFarterHarder

Every person who can flare has probably failed to sweep correctly the first time they tried. These moves take months to fully get, so you shouldn't give up. I got windmills in around three months but the first month was a whole lot of fail: crashing onto my shoulder. Kept working; got it. Hardwork and perseverance sure pay off.

[VincaniTV]

@iFarterHarder yeah man I started closer to 15 and many of my crew mates started at 18 so never to late

[Cerolux]

@VincaniTV Hey, I was just wondering... Can you tell me how to get my arms stronger? Cuz I don't know the proper way to do it, you know?

[Pedasian]

I don't have enough strength to lift my whole body up with my left hand

[MrRshizzle]

Ghehe Got to give to you bro, You are doing a awsome job

[lmle13]

Wow wow weee!!! Such an amazing video! Such dumb haters! 0_o

[ViewtifulVN]

@VincaniTV thnx man once im 100% healthy i will watch all ur tutorials and practice hard

[xVitinho10]

Victor Kim has used part of this song that is playing on the back in one of his videos ... by the way, do you have this song for download ? Good tutorial ! =D

[BboyFortune]

im having wrist pains from flares, any tips?? i stretch my wrist before every practice too

[VincaniTV]

@BboyFortune Flares tend to hurt your wrist so if it hurts bad stretch and maybe take a break from flares for a week. Also u can get the wrist guards people use for weight lifting

[francocalma]

sick

[grintibiter]

It's extremely difficult to stop such a fast combo/move step by step and to further explain it. WOW ! Kudos to you Vince! SUGOI !

[Ronashify]

thank you very much for the complete of my request!!

[ViewtifulVN]

yo vincanity a random question but do you kno any bboy that used to suffer from collapse lung before becoming a bboy? Cuz i wanna bboy so badly
