Question

How much leg strength is needed for break dancing?

Answer 1

moderate amount, you need it for toprock and mostly just that.

Upper body strength is what is important.

Answer 2

not as much as you need in arm strength... my jazz teacher brought in a break dancer to teach us a new "style" and well I'm all leg strength and no arm strength and i about died...( not literally)...lol...but you have to hold yourself up with your arms for a lot of things...
