How to Breakdance | Flares | Power Move Basics

Details: This Tutorial teaches how to do flares which is a basic power move. This move is very challenging and take a long time to learn, so make sure you practice it a lot and don't give up.

p.s. dont forget to use your hips.

Disclaimer: These Tutorials on Breakdancing are meant to help spread knowledge to kids and adults who otherwise wont get it, and to help preserve to culture in which we call Hip Hop. Please help keep Hip Hop Alive!

Warning: These tutorials do involve moves that take time and hard work to learn and should not be attempted until you master the basics (Toprocks, Basic Footwork & Basic Freezes). Make sure you get comfortable with the moves before moving on, and make sure you have an open space to dance in. I am not responsible for any injures, sore muscles or broken furniture while you are attempting these tutorials. Take it easy until you feel comfortable. If you need extra help you can email me about doing a workshop or private lessons.

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

  • @jillgab03 No they just need to be open and straight

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

    what do you think i should try?

  • @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

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

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

  • @keykikoo nope never to old. Its all about detication

  • @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

see all

  • How long did it take for you to complete just 1 flare?

  • my friends say i have the perfect first kick really high close to my face yadda yadda. but when i get to the back and try to lean forward, i look at the ground and it scares me a little and then i don't complete. do i have to lean forward to complete the round? or should i just try to get over it.

  • Damn, I've tried to get flares down ever since high school, but I've never managed to pass the front and reach the back. Guess it's not too late to get back into bboying.
