Breakdance?

Question

Hey everyone..

I was looking for something to do for the summer,and I've been thinking about taking hip-hop / breakdance lessons ( the town I live in does a course with both) , I've participated in a lot of sports; basketball, football, even gymnastics, which I was on a travel team for. I was just kinda wondering, do you think I could breakdance? I've got good upper body strength, balance, and I just wanna try something new. someone told me that a guy dancing is weird, but Im really into the rush of the moment. flips, and whatnot from being a gymnast. and I have no problem performing if neeed be.

Any other B-boys got some inspiration, or some tips for me to start? It would be much appreciated.

Answer 6

Well.. you can start with listening to certian types of music.  and then  you can make yoru own moves up.  When you feel like you can get the hang of it you can start attending places where people would meet and practice.

If you really want to learn break dancing or hip hop you can look it up on the itnernet and where you can learn it.   BUt What we use to do  when we were younger was to  go to places that had all the break dancing and just watched people and pratice it and add a little of your own

good luck!!

Well, being a girl who's good with dance I Would say you have the making of a break dancer, but you should really start with some basics before getting really into it because alot of things could go wrong when just jumping rite into it. But if you really want to do it, go for it because it takes alot fo commitment.

Answer 9

Hi.  I am also a bboy and I think that you can breakdance, also known as bboying.

You have strength and balance already, which is a big advantage as a beginner since many moves require balance and strength.  Gymnastics will also help you a lot with bboying.   You also seem to have dedication, judging from the activities you participated in.  You need to have dedication in order to bboy.  It is challenging, but very rewarding in the end.

Some tips I have is to focus on your balance.  

Also work on your toprock and footwork before jumping into the power moves, as they will be your foundations.  You should also practice hitting the beat with your toprocks.  You aren't bboying if you aren't toprocking.  

Many bboys/bgirls may say to find your own "style".  I say to first work on your technique until you get it down and make it clean, then find your "style".  

Also, don't bite, meaning don't copy other people's routines or styles.

In the end, just keep to bboying and have the dedication and passion to do it.
