How to Breakdance | Backspin | Power Move Basics

Details: This Tutorial teaches how to do the backspin which is a basic power move. This move requires a whole lot of form so pay attention to details to get the maximum spin. Practice it in slow motion! Enjoy!

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.

  • Whats up yall I just wanted to say make sure you guys master this Freeze before moving on to windmills. This will help you understand how to kick and collapse. When I post windmill part 2 this will really help you by having this basic down.

  • I'm having a problem staying balanced on my back. I can spin around once with my arms and legs extended, but as soon as I tuck, my spin goes out of wack, and I'm force to sit up, otherwise I would get a face full of cement. Also, I spin on my mid-back and I'm having problems getting up to my shoulderblades. I can spin just fine on my mid-back, but I don't know if it's ok to spin like that, or if it's going to affect my windmill. Thanks!

  • @Feffysue So what you gotta do is go back to the beggining and practice this slowly like slow motion 10 times. Then rest and do it another 10 times. Do this until your clean. Dont even spin just get that motion down. You must be kicking your legs wrong which is making you spin all crazy, Once you get a good spin all you have to do is relax and lean back. Hope this helps

  • this may sound silly but...can you do this if you are wearing a dress suit? it's a serious question

  • @sortyking007 u could but I wouldnt recomend it because it will get messed up haha

  • what do I do if when I push off I always turn to my frontside not my backside

  • I have a big trouble vince i pilot on my right hand and i backspin with mymright oeg any help?

  • Wait I have carpet. Can that work?

  • this is painful, everytime i practiced i spun on my spine and it hurt alot, the only time i didnt i spun into a pole

  • I have a question, i use my (right arm) "pilot arm" or whatever you call it, when i do things like attempts at windmills, but near the start of this video where you talk about rolling to the side that you pilot on (so my right). For some reason i find it more comfortable to roll to my left. Is this bad?

  • @asianskillful yes and no

    yes because it teaches you how to kick hard and makes you work hard on spinning and no because you wont spin as easily as you would on hardwood. and dont even think to do this shirtless.

  • Doesn't this make you dizzy? O.o"

  • @asianskillful it won't be very effective. you won't get the spin you want.

  • I'm digging those shoes Vicani. I want to ask a quick question out of curiosity. I have a windbreaker but I wanted to know if a leather jacket will also work. I practice freezes and different spins every day in my gym at school.

  • Im getting this im getting!!

    Even if i just did 1 spin i feel Happy about it :D
