Introduction to B-Boying

[Entropy0706]

Don't get discouraged! It definitely took some time, maybe months before I was able to smooth things out a little, and probably a full year to get comfortable with improvising and not thinking too hard while dancing.

The turning point for me came after coming to truly *love* funk music and all those b-boy tracks that you hear in b-boy battles -- at the end of the day, what drives great top rock is a love for music, and the desire to dance to it in the only way you know how...

Keep dancing!

[XhmOngSouLjax]

How long did it take for your top-rocks to get that smooth? I'm also trying to come up with my own top-rock combos and it's pretty hard to connect each transition to another and make it clean.

[Shin0Kyu0Sang]

breaddanceing is actually pop lock and all other old elements of hiphop mixed

[Shin0Kyu0Sang]

nvm i found it i looked through the pages.

um power and style isnt separate.

well if it was what do you call a bboy who does both styles??? nothing cause no meaning.

[Shin0Kyu0Sang]

Whats the first song i want it soo bad

[bboyjosimar]

gostaria de fazer uns comentarios,sou novo na cultura mas acho q faltou um pouco de:

postura

explosão

sua cintura esta baixa no foortwork

pegada ou seja seus passos spesar de criativos estão sujos na dança... no mais peace

[lightning431]

DAAM U ONLY STYLE CUZ U CANT' POWER .

lol j.kj.kj.k great movie taught me alot haha thx MAN

[seancomeaux]

wow very nice, i'm a dancer that has focused on hip hop and popping so i've always hung around bboys and have even danced with bboys for shows and stuff but I have never learned how to and have always wanted to... this vid is great. The only thing I would say is that BBoys originated from James Browns dancers... at least that's the history that i learned. 5 stars bro this is awesome. You're a good dancer and a great teacher.

[BboyNtroP]

thanks man. Yeah, b-boys def took a lot of inspiration from James Brown... just look at the songs we dance to. "Give It Up Or Turn It Loose (Jungle Groove Remix)" is a classic and one of my favorites--check it out!

[dancingqueen345]

thank u dude...u have helped me in my b-girling. lol now i got downn sum basicss

[t0ast3dIan]

i mean footwork

[Entropy0706]

I'm sort of a stylehead so I don't practice power as much. But I definitely recommend to aspiring b-boys and b-girls that you try to develop both style and power... though if I had to choose just one--it'd have to be style

[t0ast3dIan]

what type of power moves do you know?

i got footbork/toprocks down

[StaceyBaby182]

thank you so much! i was thinking about learning to b-boy (well b-girl lol) coz it seems so fascinating, i think i will now ive learned the basics!

[Entropy0706]

popping and locking aren't part of b-boying. Popping and locking are funkstyles which came out of the west coast... sometimes they're grouped together with b-boying under the name "breakdance"

[Entropy0706]

"Holy Calamity (Bear Witness II)" by Handsome Boy Modeling School

"One" by Jay-Roc 'n' Jakebeatz

[drzflyest4]
