BBoy how to: 2 Step/Baby Swipe

[thebigfist826]

im diggin this song!

[jonnyboy1307]

Step 1: crouch on the floor

[7jusanotherplaya7]

nice :D

[Ollie7707]

That's so cool!!!

[FormatxCwalk]

you could go higher if your on your finger tips

[AcerN2]

Good tutorial man. Thanx a bunch.

[manascool04]

thank u very much man

i live here in india ,dat's Y i c@n't meet U or i would have taken classes from U only

[JulianQJ]

Ur baby swipe would look better if you hop higher :D

[coolkeziah]

doesnt it take like 5 min to learn the two step

[MaDDTC]

@coolkeziah Absolutely, 2:15 seconds to watch my 3 year old video, and 2:45 seconds to practice it ;)

[spentfromnz]

hmm your 2 step has 4 steps?

[MaDDTC]

@spentfromnz I break it down into four important points, but when you do the motion it's only two actual physical steps where your feet touch the ground.

[wotdoitype]

Two- Stepping in blue jeans? gaaaangsta

[STEPASAUR]

you have the move but it looks pointless over this music

[MaDDTC]

@STEPASAUR Peep the music video on that track. It's freakin' dope.

[RojahYang]

seems pretty easy to me now im gonna pratice some more can you show how to do a wind mill for beginners i would love to see how you do one thx...

[Crossyluke]

When I try doing this, I can never land on my left foot. I always land on my right. Any suggestions on how I should do it?

[lennypham747]

lol i thought this was a 4 step o-o

[SoovDpayneRiva]

looks like a 3 step with a baby swipe added into it :

[Flarare]

yo dude, a couple of years back (wen i was learning how 2 bboy, bt now am making bboy tutorialz XD), i rememba chekn out dis 2 step (baby swipe) tutorial. And man, i luvd this move - probz still my fav footwork move tday lol.

And now i jst wana show my appreciation 2 u guys - thanx. Plus, y the hell do sum ppl dislike this tutorial!? This is probz the best one 4 the 2 step on utube XD

[DirectGaming411]

This is the best tutorial for the 2 step/baby swipe. Its very detailed. Thumbs Up!

[JerkinFoolz]

Ok so im kind of a chunky dude and i wanna learn how to breakdance what should i start learning first???

[Gclarkie21]

i thought this was 3 step

[zeniey]

i thought that was the 2 step or 3 step... im a begginer still lol but i beat a pro because he crashed both turns in a practice battle XD

[MaDDTC]

You stop in the back in a 3step thats where the third step comes from otherwise the general motion is the same. Congrats on the win.

[zeniey]

thansk and aaah im still kind of confused cuz i just like.. finished learning windmill.. sort of.. today.. lol sort of and tryign to learn swipe too now i think im doing too much ill favorite this vid so i can get some help on a swipe later

[Wild7Souljah]

good tutorial!

[BboyJyoozu]

owh, thanks

nice vids anyway

[oktaev]

good work

[BboyJyoozu]

Thanx for the tutor, i have a question,

a friend of mine said that we have to learn windmill first to learn swipe

is that true?

[MaDDTC]

Definitely not. I know guys who learned flares before mills or airflares before flares. Though some moves make others significantly easier I honestly think swipes and mills are pretty independent of each other.

[JoshandJamesM]

no, swipes are easier, provided you have strong legs + good balance.

[BloodRedCypher]

you do not need mills before swipes.

[Pr0N0ob]

Thanks for this tut! Now i can incorporate this to my own mix xD

[minnabby]

i love u guys from this one simple video i learned so many six step stuff and this is one of the fisrt bboy vids i watched when i started thanks soo much

[MaDDTC]

Well I hope that any link they have is an embedded link because I made this and haven't authorized its usage outside youtube via any method other than youtube embed. Kthxbyethxforstopping by (spammer garbage)

[jk81594]

Ha you got me on the ground tryin to do all kinds of stupid shit LOL

[socomXpert1]

Nice vid 5* + favorite

[a112686]

maddd..... i cant believe this has almost 300 K views, this silly vid you made 3 years ago in your infancy is one of the most viewed bboy vids on youtube. gratz famous man

[Derriickk]

i can sweep my leg under and shit easily, the problem is i dont know where to go, and in which direction.

[MaDDTC]

I lol'd. Yeah three years ago when I was first starting and made this I was pretty bad. As for 'music' and 'real bboys'. I care little for either. Anyone who considers themselves a 'real bboy' should be able to dance to anything. Come to Cali, hella house music here. I could go further into my stance against people who use the term 'real bboy' and their status as 'soldiers of hip hop' and just how wack it is to put so much weight in the word not the dance but I don't really care enough.

- Peace

[bollowski]

I respect youe views, just keep doing what your doing, Peace.

[ddrboy18]

watching it 5 times i got steps 1-3 almost down haha just need to practice more i'm still trying to do a six steps with some combinations ^^

any ways thanks!! helps

[ptthebest25]

also, urt swipes are sloppy do it the right way. there are 2 steps to it not 4

[MaDDTC]

"(Once you have these steps down you should combine steps two and three. They should happen simultaneously.)

Step 4: Without stopping after step three lower your left hand and use your left leg to force your body upwards into the air, while you are in the air shift your weight onto your left hand while twisting your torso. Extend your left leg forward and you should land at 180degrees of your previous position back into step 1."

Read descrip thx. Just cuz is 2 FOOTSTEPS doesnt mean thats it.

[ptthebest25]

isn't it Bring left leg out. Switch legs and hands same time. Then shift yourbody to the push up position while bringing your leg out 3 o clock

[MaDDTC]

If you stop in the pushup position its a 3step. The step # is determined by the physical footsteps to the gorund.

3step, 1 left out, 2 right out, 3 pushup, back to step 1.

2step, 1 left out, 2right out, back to step 1.

[Byaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

my arms arent strong enough T-T

[MaDDTC]

Keep trying, you'll get it.

[rubix0110]

The one thing that all of these tutorials leave out is that you need to pretty fit to breakdance. Not just muscle, but stamina-wise to.

[LivixMo]

actually not really, im really skinny but I'm a b-girl and i do competetions all the time and i have a lot of muscle but i wouldn't say im really fit lol and btw im only 12!! so try it out :)

[kellenbattles]

Great Guide man, now my 2 steps look like new shiet. Imma post my older 2 steps when i first saw another vid. (Awful)

[sxizzla]

this vid must be old cuz i think that guy has a beeper on his hip lol

[Gstarspara9]

ur swipe is sloppy

[xang3lis]

tnx for that tutorial ^^ it was helpfull i got it on my first try ^^ but i look stiff doing it xD gotta get the flow of it x.x

[BboyMatz]

hey im just starting breakdancing anyone got any advice for me like what moves i should learn first??

apperciate any help!

[AFKs0ulJer]

Im not dat good but u should learn style first then wen ur adequate on style start working on poses or easy power moves like tutle but i prefer basic freezes like baby freeze,elbow freeze,and shoulder freeze

[BboyMatz]

hey thx for the comment!

at the moment i can do a baby freeze and handglide but i really wanna learn the windmill but its so hard lol

il try practice on my style as well thx

[AFKs0ulJer]

well windmill is hard for me to explain so u should look it up on youtube and watch it for yourself.but for now mabe u can like footwork to handglide to baby freeze or mabe u can learn crickets!lol so many possibilities!

[BboyMatz]

thx dude il practice all them!

[AFKs0ulJer]

Well Your off to a good start!Just one big Tip : NEVER GIVE UP!

[KittyHeroX]

i learned my baby freeze first, nike freeze, etc. But, i knew how to walk on my hands[RANDOMLY DID IT AFTER SCHOOL], and started bboying since. Im also new, but not too shabby. Learn your Top rock, its vital to a newby.

[steventengyang]

man swiping and 2step is so hard for me i cant really do it

[HERRRRcules]

@9459714

Dance to express not to impress..

[AngeloPinoy]

uhmm to all footwork fanatics don't use this move :]

it loooks pretty sloppy

use 7 step

[MaDDTC]

I agree who would want to look like someone who was versatile and had a variety of moves when you can look like someone who only does 7step. /sarcasm

[vega269]

shut up sukk aaaa 2 step is the shit

[jaireh2727]

this is true i already got it ^^ and now im trying to practice the master swipes

[anh7hu0ng3m]

WOOT i almost got it.. well i got it in 1/3 speed. xD

[aznlilmina]

wait hold up..... thats a 3 step....

[MaDDTC]

I have to say I get pretty tired of saying this for the 100th time... You don't stop at the back like you do in a 3step cutting off the 3rd step makes it how many steps? Correct, two. Watch a 2step, watch a 3step... if you still can't tell the difference you're in trouble.

[LilBil09]

fanxxx dis iz gr8 bruuvv

[QuangsterProductions]

i like ur mat haha da asian way! cheap and still works

[AznBboyrice]

lol i could always do this move but i didnt the the name of it, now i know :)

[Aceof100kings]

this is he actaully baby swipe =)

[InTheShuffle]

Wow this is easier than it looks!!!

5*

[snickerdoodles12345]

this is now my favorite footwork move 2 do lol...its so easy and it looks kool :D

[bboyjtek]

i did this move infront of my crush and i ended up banging her that night

LOLOLLOLOL SO FULL OF WIN!!!!!!

[Aceof100kings]

lmfao

[9459714]

really...i dont think girls get impressed by 2 steps...more like power moves and top rocking to the music

[anh7hu0ng3m]

girls get impressed by any. anyways you should be bboying for yourself.. popularity is kind of not the most positive goal

[YungbloodBboy]

the point of bboying isn't to impress people, its a way for people to express themselves in a way like no other. although, impressing people is a bonus

[cyberslick18]

@bboyjtek TROLOLOLOLOLO

[AznTonyPham]

Advice to all bboys: when you learn a move. plz learn from multiple vidz so you wont just be learning from one vid of a technique so you basically copying them. Learn a single technigue from multiple vidz to widen knowledge and prevent copying moves.

Paste and copy this to other bboy tutorial vidz to prevent people copying moves from just one vidz.

[Lowliteehee]

ty for putting this on and on slow motion it was very helpful!!! :3

[DeDeDurINC]

lol i saw i tried i accomplished

[staturanus671]

[sarith321123]

oh snap this makes my 2 steps look straight sloppy

[02T0ferSM]

thanks u so much yooo for putting this VID i already got it in about 30secs.... SICKKKKkkk

[taiasorous]

haha

i use this one loads now

thanx bra

[cicigotback]

awesome vid. I can do the 3step and 6step, but idk how i can do this.

[kyeatspie]

haha, this is basically a 3 step just a step taken out.

[bioburn]

yep and should be used often after gaining speed during the 3 step

[amyinvertthenhurt]

i can do this but didnt even realise this is what it was called :)

[wow3310inline]

i cant do the twist..

[supadupaflysurfer]

thanks.

[kchuk]

thanks so helpful

[TonyAznVietnam]

Great very accurate guide.

[kkoorreenn]

its the first thing i ever did in breakdance

[mcthelight]

it's actually really easy if u can do the helicopter and the 3-step it's just a mix

[nessnomar]

Ooops, I made a variation of it...

[xEscapeUrFATEx]

Yeah . Ill Never Be Able To Do That .

D;

[TippmanFaith]

is it like 3 step where you have to end up facing 180 degrees from where you started?

[pirateXhunterXzoro]

Actually, this is the 3 step. When you get better at the 3 step, you have more momentum and skip the step where you land in the downward position, and now calling the move a 2step.

If you want to learn how to transition from a 3 to a 2step, try landing on one foot after each rotation until you pick up the momentum and it comes naturally, almost feeling like a swipe

[Azndude111]

lol i got sore after i learned this move

[blinkatreyu]

that was nice..

thank-x!

do you do other moves?

[OMGitsMODAFAUKER]

Is this counter clockwise? or clockwise?

[MaDDTC]

Counter Clockwise as denoted by initial frame.

[TippmanFaith]

once you complete it, should you be turned 180 degrees from where you were previously facing, like in 3 step?

[McintoshAustin]

thanks man its just a variation of a three step.... before i looked at it like it was a totally different move.....

if you can do a three step you can do a two step

thanks

[aZE589]

nice i learn somehow to get it to tht

[gslice923]

good form..thanks

[breakdancerXandy]

good tutorial guys, and thats one big ppeice of cardboard lol

[mikey771171]

[arjoda123]

[flickitcontrol]

[PigGoesQuack]

[BboyH3AT]

I can do this first master the 3 step and it will be easy for you

[gabbiedvllr]

dis is kinda kool

[gtrnismo]

a very good tutorial of mini swipe

good explanation

[wopirr]

ohhhhhh shit dat wus sick.nice vid

[pf1z3r]

sick! whats this song called?

[woWa1805]

idiot. read the text

[Pikkon22]

I read that this along with other moves like top rock, up rock.6 and 3 steps are the easiest thing in breakdance but this looks kinda hard... for a beginner

[SylentRequiem]

Nah its true. Footwork, toprock and uprock are the easiest things. If you cant do them, you wont have a chance hitting powermoves. However theyre also the foundations of bboying, so if you cant footwork/rock you're not a bboy. Dont expect to learn bboying in a few days, it can take a month to learn one move properly. Just keep at it if you have the determination.

[lonelierboi]

Sweet tutorial, i got it right away. :]

Except for the variation part lol.

[sdog808]

sickest thing i eva seen

[MaDDTC]

What exactly do you define as 'good stuff'?

[BboyMac10]

don't mind him he's a retard.

[BboyOcean0]

learned it in a week

[gwapz001]

learned it in 5 mins LOL

[hammas74]

cool i'll try it

[PoppingYovi]

Nice work, good guide ^^

[AireckQ]

hahahahahah its hard for fat people?? well who's problem is it that your fat? certainly not ours.

[ic3manG]

it's 2 bc you don't go into the part when your on both your hands and your feet... on 3 you go to that part on 2 you just swipe all the way back... that guy that said it's 3 step is retarded

[gahubich]

LOL XDD

agreed haha

[LowRidin24s]

not like its a dance for fat people to do, you guys can stand in a corner while they do it

[eliu8]

ROFLMAO.

[mitchlittlezfan7]

LOL thats messe dup son

[LowRidin24s]

just sayin it how it is

[nickjeeh]

its cool i try it i am a girl its works

[trybalmyx]

this isnt a 3 step omg...its a 2 step,

[DJingga]

that's why his nick is lost soul party. lol

he's lost

[wallyjoe223]

That was pretty tough, yet fun. I moved all the couches and shit out of my living room just to try it. I had trouble with it though, so I moved on to the variation. That was easier to learn for me. Thanks for the lesson!

[jpomac360]

it must be so easy fur u guys, but its fuckign hard for fat peoplez

[tmfongbcf]

can i say this is totally a 3 steeeeppppp??!

[lostsoulparty]

u dnt come off the ground in a 3 step

[BboyMac10]

umm yes you do... the final phase of the 3 step both legs are off the ground for less than a second as a hop. the stage before going into the hump position..

[pixels213]

How do u guys learn this any1 plz send me a message back asap

[fitwizle]

you guys notice that's almost the exact same thing as a 3 step?

[kideverything]

[orientaltony]

[danielvu91]

[darkage473]

[nammp]

i'm pretty sure this isn't a 2 step.

i think it's a 3 step. search up bboy still's guide to 3 step
