How To Flare

[MrDoctorrunescape]

you need good arm muscles to do over 2+ of these flares...

[lin2k4]

Do you need to do strength training to do this?

[BUSA96select]

@lin2k4 You need crazy strength and finess to do them more than once or twice

[IaMnAsianFascination]

@lin2k4

no,, you do not need lots of strength, to learn this, just good technique, you will only need strength unless you want to do like 30 in a row

[nothing602]

I could swing my right foot really high but I can't seem to get my left foot to follow any other tips that might help or if I'm doing something wrong ????

[anibisha123]

[IaMnAsianFascination]

[NMede]

[rladhgud65]

@Sachin4442: if you dedicate yourself to practicin minimum once a week for 3 hours. along with good ppl who can help you with them. (make sure they know how to do it. not just know the steps to it) then it might take you bout one month to get the first flare down yo. hope it helps.

[SleeZy510]

@mcmickey625 i use to have the same problem i dont remember exactly how i fixed it but im pretty sure it has something to do with your timing or maybe your not holding your legs up long enough lol hope this helps

[AnimeOm]

MY PROBLEM is keeping my leg straight and kicking.

[K4zKyzah]

dont try and learn from this tutorial its crap... they ask you to go into a handstand before you can even do a single rotation... LOL and besides look at the person who displays the flares he cant even control his flare he changes directions all the time..

[PubRakvere]

im new in breakdancing, so i want to ask, are flare and windmill hard to do? i mean like, do i have to have like much strenght? i'm asking because i have been practising breackdancing only 1 month so i would like some tips :)

[metallica929]

bithi bithi oho

[Theftgrand50]

uhm any stretches you got reccomended to get more flexible for flares?

[Pheonix916]

@Theftgrand50 jus try to do a standing split

then while ur doing that have someone push down on your back little by little

but dont go to far or you can hurt yourself bad

then another one is jus sit on the ground with your legs spread as far apart in front of you as you can get

then hav sumone push down on your back or hav someone else do the same thing with their feet pushing against yours and jus grab eachothers hands and pull while one person leans in and the other leans back

then swich off

[IAWushu]

@Theftgrand50 why those stretches recommended to you sound harsh. an easy way is to just lean up against a wall, back on the ground, legs on the wall and let gravity do its work. its good cause it falls down at a good pace, and doesnt get u to stretch wrong and get your hips messed up and contorted.

[scratchandmatch]

Help me i cant keep my legs open.. -.-

[chargedcloud]

@scratchandmatch just stetch often

[ShawEagle2012]

@boogiepancake125 yeah, theyre completely different on the horse than they are on the floor. its much easier to get your momentum on a horse because theres no floor lol.

[Baldoxxx4000]

i need help....what if my flexibility sucks? like kicking your face, i cant seem to kick my face close enough or spread my legs wide...does this mean i have to rely on power ? Or this has to do with momentum?

[Anim8t3rz]

@Baldoxxx4000 I have the same problem

[nightcrawler511]

i learned windmills nd was really happy,imagine how happy i'll be learning this!

[itspookieness]

dam i needa practice keeping my legs up. its hard stretching them out

[lukozade048]

I be happy learning to do one.

[lucky13nsd]

do your legs ever hit the ground when they swing?

[CJ2603]

@lucky13nsd sometimes ) but i f ya practice more they won't ...

[Kennyher72]

nice vid it help me alot bro now i can almost do one

[xcmonx]

I'm having trouble lifting the other leg up... Can you guys please help me?

[Sackboy7]

@xcmonx you gotta do it your self

[pimpalicious209]

IS THERE A NAME TO THAT SING??!!!!

[dandanpai]

@xiongsta916boi get a little stronger :D

[CHAPxKILLA]

@digitlymikey no duh they did take there vids

[Jazza828]

thx for the help

[tommytran202]

whenever i flare my left leg keeps on bending and stops me from getting a complete round tips???

[bboyholiffy]

lol im 10 and i can already pull of a flare one of the key things to do is when your at halfway try kicking your face it will give you more momentum and more strength to continue onto your second flare =)

[rockinfootballer]

my left leg does'nt go up as required :(

[shrime]

that most likely because your abs arent strong enough... try either leg lifts or just be patient and try really hard on pulling your leg up... do enough and your muscles will train themselves.

[45s5s]

@TheBboyKnights I practice in the school gym on lunch time where no teachers are patrolling so I don`t get caught.

[bboyhights]

man if i had space to flare i pretty much have gotten 2 or 3 but i dont even had 1 cuz of space problems xD

[nybam9123]

@bboyhights quit bitching u can do it on teh street, so just get off ur ass and move

[bboyhights]

@nybam9123 this was pretty late reply hehe but yea true lol

[cjmc95]

dude honestly im 14 and everything but im exactly doing whatchu telling i could only do one of that..

[digitlymikey]

[bboydj2010]

[ekleful]

[45s5s]

Im 14 ive been learning windmills and flares for a month and IT`S FUN LEARNING and Fun Doing in front of my classmates

[TheBboyKnight]

[15ajarias1]

[CuriousMe206]

@45s5s wait you culd flare,I'M 14 TOO put i jst started trying to do this CUS ya know i jerk and i like to add new things to my routine BUT i gotta ask is it hard after awhille?

[dillios34]

@45s5s I'm 14 :)) It's been a year since I've been on the dance floor, And I can still Do my windmills :), I need to learn the Flare, Any tips excluding the ones in the video?

[SourSkittlezs]

@45s5s cool story bro :D

[TheAmazingJoke]

@45s5s yeah, at our last school dance i did a flare to windmill and ended with a coindrop. Everybody thought it was sick

[TheRealKidAlex]

@45s5s And we need to know your AGE why?

[horiZonshold]

@45s5s dude dance to express not impress ;) nah jks if i could do that i would be showing all the bitches :)

[mrkiemoney]

@45s5s cool



[aznboyy55109]

@45s5s would u like to teach me lmao i suck

[LTsonic]

@45s5s Yep

[PxQxP]

I just made a flare tutorial if anyone would like to learn. Happy new year! =]

[EDYFOR0717]

any 1 can help my flare?? check out my video

tq

[Micbuns1]

ur doing fine with ur flares but u should start ur flares like 0:31 cuz in ur video u start ur flares on the floor it looks weird lol and push ur hips out more

[mitzathekid]

it's like windmill keep the feet in a V shape all times's you can bend your neas at the back ... the motion is every thing ;)

[syasyaloveadam619]

its cool.. but hard to understand and do.. how did they actually carry their weight??

[Moiez101]

they don't haha. the momentum of their legs swinging around keeps their weight in the air. it's all physics baby.

[chrizhoang]

you need alot of arm strength to do this.. =P

[jm28ish]

i'm 13 (i'll be 14 in january),and i've been popping since june,but when i looked at this video to learn some breaking,the first thing i said was :"damn,it's harder than i think it is"!!

[crimelord1]

i still cant get it.maybe its my shoes or i need to work out more.

[jimthegr8]

haha! your shoes? your funny dude... its all about momentum transfer and arm strength =P

[jcbonzz]

i can do one round flare. . . .how can you do continous flares????

[calvn53]

Flares are SO hard! I'm 12, but very weak and short! I seriously don't get this... haha!

[Fanofgod9]

dude if you r 12 keep workin at it so by the time your my age (19) you will be a pro, good luck

[calvn53]

Okay, thanks

[IKBkitchen]

Yes, thank you! I finally got this down today after I watched it. Was practicing for about 2 months lol.

[abarry48]

i just can keep my feet in the air

[MiracleAngelFilmz]

UGH THIS IS SO HARD

[hmobvaj2]

i agree dude...bboy is so dam hard when starting it

[dan960bml]

@hmobvaj2 tell me about it

[hmobvaj2]

when starting to bboy you have to work in one station until you think you have learn the moves then move on to the next one...which take times and hrs

[mojsije1234]

ok...

iam a right handed!!! should i do a flare clok wis or counter clock wise???????

[YYEEAAAHHH]

Oops, deleted that comment..

I'm right handed and I go counter clock wise because my left hand has the easy job of starting on the ground first while my right has the harder and stronger job of catching my body during the flare.

[jhtodalee1996]

you should do a flare going clockwise, if your right handed

[751292]

i think the flare is better to learn than the windmill because the flare is like 5 easy steps, while the windmill is like 2 months of training, but great tutorial i got the flare down now:)

[Chrisytinaa]

great tutorial

thanks :D

[ab3k1nz]

its easier for me to get a better swing from sitting position, i can do 360 flare now, but dont know how to keep it going

[lfmw29]

can you give me some tips?

[cult6]

i know how 2 do it now this shit worked wow just needed 2 learn how 2 keep my legs open while i did it

[cult6]

yo this shit realy worked but all i had 2 learn was how 2 keep my legs open

[MrFattboy123]

@cult6

What can i do to practice with keeping my legs open? (no homo)

[cult6]

@MrFattboy123 lol but stretch ur legs alot ur groin area is gonnafuck upalil but u gotta keep doi it then it just makes ur legs straighter an wider

[kboy09]

Awesome, thank you for the guide. I will try doing a flare when i'm able to lift myself up, lmao.

[SuperBboys1]

thankz for that

[bboymelk]

wut do ppl mean buy not jumping into ur flare?

[cwalkhurdler]

swing your initial leg to high

[Oasics93]

When you start you are supposed to start the rotaion by swinging your hip and legs not jumping with your legs just before starting. it's kinda harf to explain :P

[sulejman15]

yea same i usually really kick or explode in to a flare but i can only do one, and people say to sweep and not kick so hard?

[Baldoxxx4000]

does anyone know if you need to learn a full split to learn a flare?

thx :)

[Arsagard]

not a full split. but u must be able to open wide enough.

[anh7hu0ng3m]

no but it helps

[rochhockey08]

nope you dont welcome :)

[sulejman15]

nah u dont

[Gstarspara9]

when u breakdance u have to keep ur self in a box so for example imagine theres a line so u dont want to go over the line or under ..

[blackzeroness]

oh wow i have been kicking my left leg forward this whole time.... >.>

[Bloodrote23]

if u left handed u do tha same thing

[Ericisinwisconsin]

Hmm, what if your left handed?

[videowatcher2161]

you a lefty? same here, just do what he said with the oppisite hand and leg.

[logikitude]

i ve got problems with my hand somebody help me

[the3menfilm]

hahahahhahaaha

[SandovalDominicQC]

awesome theres no more kick....

[nyj373]

best way to do this is by learning off the street thats how i learned my moves this is the first time i saw a how to do anything with breakdance this video helps but u just gota get the hang of it yourself mad practice u know wat i mean?

[AznGunGrave]

No, not really, you spell bad. Learn to spell then talk, and get your grammar right.

[Spadedragon]

Lol

[alwaysonline96]

must be able to do split then can do flare ?

[ThaEther]

nah you dont need to know how to split

[dranreb101615]

i canot do it

[stekzors]

u think all those koreans have any upper body strenght to do flares and other power stuff?

[Djaiboi]

no koreans can power just cause they korean...lol jkjk idk how they do it tho...

[XxXKhUrUhPtXxX]

Those are koreans ?

[0AirRoll0]

[GiiSuz]

[m0j0101]

[PLATINUMSPINO7SAURUS]

lol first time i dislocated my shoulder lol

[peejaypjohn]

@PLATINUMSPINO7SAURUS lack of calcium i guess?

[humantorchid]

@m0j0101 me too ...i hit my chin

[SamuraiBlade2247]

damn i can only do 1 flare...i cnt keep the momentum..any1 got any advice?

[narutoscape]

same here man thats i just can't keep going on the second

[FuckedYourSister]

build up your uper strenght you need to suport yourself only on the hands and keep rotating your legs (just the legs not body must stay almoast still thats al i can say i can do 3 spins

[kjack98]

u don't really need upper body streagth just to be able to support your self with ur hands

[MATTINTHEMAN]

i'm a skinny assfucker with pretty good agillity, i can only lift 50 kg on the bench... and i still got 5 spins on this one. no strenght is needed, just find your balance and support yourself.

[10000000000000000ish]

yes good video

[lmfao99what]

i own u all noobs

[Baldoxxx4000]

do you need to do a really close split to do this?

[SartaySimon]

WOOTZ! IMA LEARN THIS

[lovejessica531]

whats is the hardest move in break danceing?

does anyone know how i can build the upper body strenght for this move?

[Psychroalgia]

do planches

[AsianPersuation1]

i would say one hand elbow air track/air flare

[bboymonk3y]

just keep practicing. It wont take you 3-8 months maybe even 1-2 year

[triforcefyor]

I've been breakdancing for 3 years, and this is my first attempt at a power move. It takes alot of upper body strength.

[Bonkyhoho]

which is harder the windmill or this flare...plz reply..i reli wanna knoe....i'm a new dancer.

SoKaren87 is right, i also thought that it's just basically swing around..=.=

[Psychroalgia]

Flares. They require strength and dedication.

[Sokaren87]

flare is a level 2 power move and windmil is a level 1.

Flare is hard because many new dancers think u shall kick urself around,thats wrong,you shall kick and then lock your legs and then swing around not kick!swing and have straighten legs all the time and work with ur arms and upper bpdy

PEACE

[UGLYNIN1]

i learned that the hard way :)

[JezzaJZ9]

is it just me or is this easier than the windmill?

p.s gotta stretch b4 doin this othawise u might pull ya hamstrings

[xXfamous1234Xx]

it is

[basvanboldrik]

hey guys, ive got a question..

ive never breaked before but can i still learn this move then, since i do hiphop class

or do you know some better moves to learn before doing this..?

thanks in advance

[PsychoticLuke]

You can learn and do anything you want my friend. If your heart and spirit are high - there are no limits. :) Good luck. I am learning this myself as well. This seems to be a very good tutorial.

[luis2245]

don't your legs hafta be flexible
