Why do people do 6 step? (breakdancing)?

Question

Why do ppl even do 6 steps? In my opinion 3 step looks much better. Is there a reason why ppl do 6 steps? Y dont ppl just stick to 3 steps?

Also, i learned the steps for 6 step but im slow atm. Any advice for me to make my footwork faster?

Answer 1

1. 6 step is BASIC foundations if ya cant do it you'll gain little respect. also yes 3 step is good, so is 4 5 7 8 12 and scribbles but 6 step is the blue print for all of them. nobody wants to see you do 3 step all day, 6 step is whats used to lead into other steps and movements.

2. to get faster at it is simply doing them 1 after another slowly building up speed. but dont trade speed for cleanness. ppl could care less how fast you're going if it looks like c**p. just be sure you keep it clean and go at a speed that is comfortable and looks good.
