How to Breakdance: Backflip
Ever wanted to learn how to breakdance? This guide will walk you through step-by-step on the amazing backflip move! Everything you need to know to get started.
Have you ever wanted to learn how to breakdance? I'm sure you've seen all the flashy and exciting moves on TV and film. Have you ever wanted to perform these moves yourself? Why haven't you tried? Insufficient strength? Scared to get hurt?
Well, the backflip is a basic and exciting breakdance move almost anyone can learn. If you want to learn how to breakdance, this is an easy move to start with as a variety of people will be able to teach it to you - not strictly breakdancers. The backflip also does not require incredible physical strength like other breakdance moves.
First things first: we need to figure out your safety. The backflip is a pretty dangerous move, so you will need to find a spotter before you can continue. The spotter MUST know how to do the actual backflip. In addition, the spotter should be able to flip you over in case you are too scared. He should also know every detail of the move and be able to give you tips and recommendations to improve. In case of an emergency, your spotter will be the one to save you or call for help! So make sure you find someone you can trust. Finding a supportive spotter may be difficult.
The next aspect we need to focus on before we learn how to breakdance is the location! You need to find a place you are comfortable with. Preferably, you won't be self-conscious and looking around nervously hoping no one's watching you mess up. So find a spot you are comfortable with. For backflips, the gymnasium usually works. They should have a trampoline and gymnasts to teach you how to backflip. They also have a lot of "soft" equipment like mats to cushion your falls. This will help tremendously in easing your fears and correcting your form.
Once you've found your spotter and a location, we can start learning how to breakdance! Here are the instructions to perform the backflip:
1. Stand up straight. Keep your feet together. Your ankles literally need to be touching each other. Squeeze your feet together tightly and have your arms straight to your side. Your hands should be at your waist.
2. Position your arms so they are both parallel to the floor. Now swing your arms backward. You have to thrust them back. At the same time, lower your torso so your body is in a "sitting" position (but remain standing!)
3. Once you have hurled your arms backward behind you, swing them out forward again. This should be a circular motion. Swing them down, out in front of you, then directly above you. It should resemble a 270 degrees swing. When you swing your arms upward, they should go straight up! Use your arms and bounce off your feet to try and get as high of a jump as possible. The higher you get into the air, the better your backflip will be.
4. Practice the jump until you can get as high of a jump as possible. Preferably, you should get a couple feet into the air. You should know when you are comfortable enough in the air to perform a real backflip.
5. Now you are ready for the backflip. Repeat steps one to three again. This time, when you get to the apex of your jump, thrust your knees to your chest and throw your arms straight down to grab your knees. This causes your body to begin rotating backward. Make sure you are thrusting your knees to your chest hard and FAST. This gives you the momentum to get your body over as fast as possible. The slower you turn, the more difficult it will be to backflip (or you may end up hurting yourself!) Just remember, breakdance is all about form, so make sure your form is right.
6. Once you feel your body going over backward, start looking for the floor. You should literally see the floor. Do not close your eyes or you will hurt yourself.
7. Once you see the floor, start opening up your legs from the tucked position and begin to prepare your body to land standing. Basically, at this point, you just need to open up your body. Go from tucked to standing while in mid-air.
8. If you've done everything correctly, you should land standing. Not crouched. Not on your knees. Once again, breakdance is all about form. If you want to learn how to breakdance, you need to do this over and over again if you have the incorrect form. Most people get the wrong form when they first start out breakdancing, so do not be worried if it takes you several tries.
That should be it for the backflip. It's really quite simple once you get the hang of it. Make sure you have a perfectly clean backflip before you try more advanced breakdance moves such as the gainer or wallflip, which are both based on the core backflip move.

How to Breakdance
When one thinks of breakdance, the image of a cool, hip-hop dude, doing extremely acrobatic, hot moves on the dance floor comes to your mind. The history behind the break dance moves has many versions just like the dance and dates back as far as 1969. With the growth of the hip hop culture, breakdance and its twin the 'electrical boogie' grew leaps and bounds in America. Breakdance even featured in many Hollywood movies produced in the 1980's. Then suddenly after 1984, the culture of breakdancing began to fade away. Slowly, it has again gained momentum and many dance videos and shows have begun to showcase breakdance. The hip-hop, ultra cool culture of breakdancing is back and many want to attempt to learn breakdance.
If you wish to stretch your body to the limits, then try to learn breakdance. B-boying the other term used for breakdancing consists of top or up rock, footwork, power moves and freeze. It has originated from Bronx, NY and the name B-boyin was created by Kool Herc. He was a DJ spinning for block parties in Bronx. The term B-boys means to break boys. It is so called as boys dance to break part of music. A movie produced in 1983, 'Flashdance' was the first major movie that featured B-boying. It had a great impact on the young minds then and lead to the production of many other movies like 'Breakin', Breakin 2', and Beat Street'. Beat Street created an even major impact and the media popularized the dance moves as 'breakdance'. The excessive media coverage led to an over saturation of breakdance and it became kind of a fad in the minds of people. Soon media got over B-boying and people thought it was a dead art. Then, soon after 1985, came the long winter years of breakdancing. Then around 1997, slowly but steadily the winter years began to lift from breakdancing. If you are looking for how to breakdance for beginners, it proves that breakdance has again found its lost popularity. Let us have a look at some instructions on how to breakdance for beginners.
How to Breakdance for Beginners?
Are you looking for some information on how to breakdance for beginners? Well, the most basic moves to learn to breakdance involves 6-steps and toprock. As you move further and as you master these basic steps, you will discover rest of the dance is based on these two elements. When starters learn to breakdance, they usually begin with toprocking and then continue to go down to the floor performing 6 step or 4 step. These moves can be heavily 'teched'. The base for other complex moves and other power moves is formed with 6 steps.
The dance usually begins with a 6 step, then the power moves and ends with a 'freeze'. The freeze is a move in which the dancer contorts his body to a strange position and literally freezes and stops all dance moves. He remains in this position for a second or more and different freeze styles enhance the style of breakdancer. Let us now see the details on how to breakdance, step by step. The following how to breakdance for kids are the basic dance moves that help you warm up on the dance floor. These moves also help you catch your breath between moves and are the basic dance steps of breakdancing.
* You should be standing and start on your left foot with your right foot back.
* Now jump forward onto the right foot and simultaneously send your left foot back. Your feet should not touch the ground till they are to step on the floor. Also do not drag them as you would in a moonwalk.
* The next move is the transition, where your left foot comes forward halfway and the right foot swings back halfway. The right foot should swing back in an arc.
* The right foot should swing in place of the left as the left foot rears back.
* With your left foot kick forward and back with your right. The body weight should land on the left and arms should be swung back to balance the motion. As you get hold of the motions, swinging your arms will come naturally to you.
* Step forward halfway on your right and swing the left back in an arc.
* Now switch from right to left and begin the dance counterclockwise.
How to Breakdance Step by Step
I will cover the 6 step dance move in how to break dance step by step. This will help you establish momentum and put you in position for more complex moves. You need to use your arms to support the body and legs to walk around in a circle. Lets begin to groove:
* Bring the right leg forward and extend it in front of the left from a push up position. Your left leg should not be moved and lean on the outside of your right shoe. Your left hand should be taken off the floor.
* Pull the left leg forward till it bends and touches the back of your right leg. The right leg should by now be wrapped around the left leg. You will find yourself in a tilted cross-legged position and your left hand still in air.
* Now move into a crab position by bringing your right leg out from around left leg. Then plant the right foot down, next to the left foot that is shoulder width apart. The left hand should be placed on the floor behind you.
* Keep you right hand up and move your right leg behind you.
* Then extending your left leg back, put your right hand down and go back into a push up position again.
These are the simple moves of breakdancing. You can even try a variation on the above steps that involves the crab position. You can just put your right hand on the floor behind and not both your hands, thus, not getting into the crab position. As you get into the next step, switch your hands quickly, that is, lift off your right hand and put the left hand on the floor, as you move your legs. You need to remain light on your feet and once you master these moves, try doing it counterclockwise.
Breakdancing Do's and Dont's
Please do not think these are very easy moves to learn. You will need your joints to be strong enough to withstand the power moves and after months of brushing you can do these steps as a pro. The following how to breakdance for kids instructions need to be followed by children, need to be practiced by adults as well, before trying the above 6 step dance moves.
* Always warm up before you begin to breakdance. You should carry out some stretch exercises before and after to help increase flexibility and reduce risk of injuries.
* Practice on a smooth, large floor and make sure you have plenty of crush pads, cushioned surfaces and wrestling mats for cushioning your fall during practice.
* Never ever booze and do the breakdance. This will ultimately result in only broken bones and not the actual breakdance.
* Never attempt to do a breakdance in public before reviewing yourself in a self video. You should first be confident of your moves and show the video to close friends and if the end result is good, try it on the dance floor, else it may lead to a broken ego, than a great breakdance move.

How To Breakdance: Turtle
Turtling is a breakdancing power move which combines strength and agility to spin from the turtle position into a circle using only your hands to hold you up. It takes time to build-up the arm strength to be able to perform this move, which makes it a heavy time-investment. Remember, breakdancing moves are difficult and occasionally dangerous. Always wear protective gear as necessary, and stretch before and after practicing.
Carelessness may result in injury. Breakdance at your own risk!
1. Build up your arm strength. A general workout plan focusing on triceps, forearms, and pectorals will be the most efficient.
2. Build up your abdomen strength. You'll be using your stomach as a point of balance, so it needs to be firm enough to support your weight. Starting a crunch/leg lift routine will help dramatically.
3. Sit on your knees and plant your elbows firmly into your stomach, with your wrists facing inward.
4. While still on your knees, spread your legs and lean forward onto your hands, making sure not to remove your elbow from your stomach.
5. Tighten your abs and continue leaning forward, so that your forehead is six inches from the ground.
6. Raise your knees and legs off of the ground, so you are only suspended by your arms. This is called the turtle position.
7. Now you're going to begin rotating. Lean all your weight onto your left hand, and quickly move your right hand upwards.
# Lean all your weight into your right hand, then move your left hand slightly downward.
# By continuing to alternate your weight between your left and right hand, you begin to slowly spin counterclockwise.
# As you progress, move your hands faster and farther distances, and you'll spin very quickly. Good turtlers can spin 360 degrees in under a second!

How To Breakdance: Flare
A Flare is a breakdancing power move borrowed from gymnastics. When performing the move, a dancer spreads their legs and whips them around their body in continuous circles, using only their hands to keep them above ground. This move is often seen in men's floor routines and on the pommel horse. The below directions are for performing counterclockwise flares.
1. Start with your legs spread between two and two-and-a-half times your shoulder width, with your left foot about six inches behind your right foot.
2. Turn your body ninety degrees to the right, "cocking" your body to prepare for a spin.
3. Spin your body to the left and downward, putting your left hand six inches in front of your left foot.
4. Pushing your weight into your left arm, swing your left leg from left to right behind you, parallel to the ground, as if you were sweeping your leg behind you to kick your right ankle. This kick is the driving force of the flare, and it is important it is made with as much force as possible.

5. Before your sweeping left kick reaches your right leg, kick that leg straight up as hard as you can, as if you were trying to knee yourself in the face. Make sure that your legs are still spread and very straight. Your right kick you be strong enough so that your pelvis is horizontal with your head.
# Swing your left leg under your right leg, pushing all your weight into your left arm.
# As soon as you make your right kick, throw you right hand behind you, so that it is shoulder-width from and even with your other arm and you can support your weight on both hands.
# With both legs spread in the air, lean your weight onto your right arm, and swing your right leg under your left leg as your left hand swings over your body, back to the location you first placed them in during step 3. You should now be in a push-up position with both legs spread and suspended above the air.
# Lean back onto your left hand, swinging your left leg parallel to the ground towards your right leg, using the established momentum to carry you around the circle.
# Continue swinging counterclockwise, alternating your balance from arm to arm as you swing your legs around you.

How To Breakdance: Headspin
Headspins are a trademark move of breakdancing, and one of the easiest of the power moves to learn. Like all breakdancing moves, Headspins can be dangerous if done improperly, so be sure to wear a helmet when practicing, and stretch before and after practice.
1. Start on your knees, leaning forward onto the top of your head. Place your hands on the ground in front of you, sixty degrees in each direction, so your head and hands form an equilateral triangle. Kick your legs up and directly above you, so all your weight is in your head and hands. This position is called the tripod position. Practice balancing in this position until it is easy to remain still for extended periods of time, which also builds up your neck muscles.
2. While upside down, spread your legs ninety degrees, and while keeping them open, twist your hips clockwise as far as you can.
3. As fast as you can, untwist your hips while keeping your legs spread and your balance centered. As your body begins to spin, pull your hands slightly off the ground. As you begin to stop spinning, place your hands back down on the ground into tripod position ("tapping"). Your head and torso will stop first, with your legs slightly lagging behind in rotation. After you've stopped slightly, continue to whip your legs counterclockwise to continue to spin.
4. Initially, practice spinning for short distances, constantly tapping and returning to the tripod position so you can re-cock your hips to continue spinning. As you gain momentum from multiple taps, you'll find it is easier to maintain balance, until eventually you can pull your hands from the ground completely and continue to spin.
# To increase speed while spinning with no hands, pull your arms closer into your body, and pull your legs together directly over your body. Be sure to always be ready to put your hands back into tripod position to catch yourself as you begin to fall over.

How To Breakdance: Six-Step
The Six-Step is the most fundamental move of a breakdancer's repertoire, and is the basic unit of movement all other moves are based on. Very easy to perform, it is important to first master this move before moving on to others. The following directions are for performing the Six-Step counterclockwise.
1. Sit down on the floor, with your stomach facing the ceiling, your shoulders directly behind you, and your feet twelve inches in front of your glutes. Push your weight into your hands and feet as you raise your pelvis off the ground until your shins are perpendicular to the floor. This is called crab position. Be sure to keep your body as parallel to the floor as possible.
2. Extend your right foot out directly in front of you, along the ground. Rotate the foot ninety degrees clockwise, so that only the outer arch of your foot is touching the ground. Sweep your foot inward, ending with your ankles crossed ninety degrees.
3. Without moving your right foot, tilt your left shoulder across your torso, raise your left hand to shoulder height, and step your left foot two feet to the left and behind its original position, tilting your left knee inward. All your weight should now be placed on your right arm.
4. Place your left hand at shoulder length to your other, as you sweep your right leg under your body and behind you, ending with your body in the push-up position, your legs spread two-times shoulder length.
# Raising your right arm and turning your body to your right, sweep your left leg to where your right hand originally was, keeping your right foot planted.
# Step your right foot into the crook of your knee, continuing to rotate your torso clockwise.
# Sweep your left leg outward and place your left hand behind you, so that you have returned to crab position.
# Continue repeating steps 2-7 so that you are making continuous counterclockwise circles.

How To Breakdance: Airtrack
Airtracks are arguably the hardest possible breakdancing move, but also the most impressive. With both their arms and legs spread and their torso suspended 45 degrees in mid-air, a dancer swings their hands over their body to catch themselves and go into the next move. Airtracks are also very dangerous, and should be performed with the utmost care, preferably on a gymnastics or martial arts mat. It is highly recommended that you have mastered Flares and Windmills before attempting Airtracks.
The directions below are for counterclockwise Airtracks.
1. With your legs spread at twice your shoulder length, bend forward and twist your torso to the left. Place your left hand about a foot in front of your left knee, with the fingers facing to the left. Place your right hand shoulder's length beyond your left hand, so that your hands and left knee form a line. Turn your torso to square your shoulders with your hands, keeping your feet on the ground.
2. Kick your left leg up and behind you, leaning your weight into your stiffened arms. Once you've extended your left leg as high as you can behind you (while keeping your right leg on the ground), kick upwards with your right leg so that your shoulders, back, and groin form a 45 degree angle to the ground.
3. After kicking off, immediately swing your left leg in a counterclockwise arc outwards and downwards as hard as you can, and swing your light leg in a counterclockwise arc outwards and upwards. Imagine your legs are the legs of a turning compass. As you swing, keep your center of rotation around your 45 degree line.
# As your legs reach three o'clock and nine o'clock positions, shift your weight completely into your left arm. Now, swing your straightened right arm behind you, turning your face to the right, watching for the ground. As your torso swings away, pull your left arm off the ground and let if follow behind your right.
# Continue to let your legs swing in their counterclockwise arc, making sure you are still rotating around the same axis of movement.
# When you see the ground, immediately throw your hands towards it to catch yourself, first your right, then your left. If your initial kick gave your body enough upward momentum, you will have had enough time to catch yourself with both your arms straightened. If you didn't kick high enough, you'll probably have to catch yourself into a safe fall.
# Because your torso has a shorter turning radius than your legs, it turns faster, and will finish a full 360 degree rotation before your legs. If you've caught yourself with straightened arms, you'll notice that your legs are trailing slightly behind you. With your weight resting completely in your arms and your body still at a 45 degree angle, whip your legs into another circle, continuing into the next Airtrack.

How To Breakdance: Windmill
The Windmill is a breakdancing power move that combines techniques from gymnastics and urban street-style dancing. Invented by Crazy Legs of New York's Rocksteady crew, the Windmill has become a staple move for hip-hop dancers, and is the basis for more difficult techniques.
Before attempting an actual windmill, you need to conceptualize what the movements look like without momentum.
1. Lie on your front with your legs spread. Arch your back and raise your legs as far behind you as you can.
2. Simultaneously roll onto your left shoulder and raise your right leg as high as possible, so that you end on your side with your right leg directly in the air and your left leg parallel but not touching the ground.
3. Swing your left leg under your right as you roll onto your back, so that you end on your back with your legs spread and both in the air.
4. Simultaneously roll onto your right side, lifting your left leg in the air as high as possible, and your right leg parallel to the ground.
5. Swing your right leg under your left as you roll onto your front, ending with your legs raised behind you as far as possible.
Once you've practiced these basic movements, you're ready to try complete Windmills. The below directions are for performing counterclockwise Windmills.
1. Kneeling on the ground, plant your left elbow firmly into your stomach and hold your right arm a foot in front of your face. Lean forward, placing your hands on the ground and keeping your elbow in your stomach, so that your weight is mostly distributed into your left forearm. Straighten your knees, and spread your legs outward and behind you. This is the setup position.
2. Keeping your hands on the ground, raise your left leg as far as you can behind you and bend your left knee. Your face should be pushed downward, close to the ground.
# Kick your right leg up and to the right as hard as you can, then swing your left leg parallel to the ground under your right leg. As your left leg is swinging, push off the ground with your hands and roll over your left shoulder. The momentum of your legs will continue to pull you over your shoulder and onto your upper-back. Slightly tuck your chin into your chest during this motion.
# With your arms still in their original positions and your legs in the air, swing your right leg as hard as you can under your left, rotating your upper body from your upper-back to your right shoulder. Swing your hands to the right as the ground approaches, preparing to plant your left elbow back in to your stomach as you continue to rotate.
# As your legs continue to swing, rotate from your shoulder onto your hands. You should end in a similar pose to the setup position, with your legs raised in the air behind you and your head close to touching the ground.. Push off from the ground as hard as you can so that your lower body is raised as high in the air as possible. Swing your left leg under your right, and rotate your upper body from your hands, to your shoulder, and onto your upper-back.
# Continue rotating your weight from your arms, to left shoulder, to upper-back, to right shoulder, to arms, alternately swinging your legs under each other. As your swing your legs, swing them harder and harder, so that you gain momentum and increase speed.

How To Buy Break Dance Videos
There’s probably no better way to start the year than to resolve to have a better, healthier body. Why not add in learning a new hobby into the bargain? One of the most fun ways of getting in shape is through dancing – be it ballroom dancing, ballet, hiphop or jazz. But if you’ve tried it all and you just want something different… well, break dancing, anyone?
Break dancing evolved from the street dance culture in the 1970’s, and it involves a showcase of fast, complicated whole body movements. Dance techniques used in break dancing include terms such as power moves, freezes, top rock and suicides. True break dancers call themselves b-boys or b-girls and refer to the dance form as “breaking”, and the term “break dancing” is sometimes even used disparagingly.
Breaking is a very challenging dance form, and it might take some time before you’d be able to successfully. That’s why it’s a great idea to start learning through watching break dance videos first, so you’d get at least a better idea of how the moves are executed. If you’re looking to find out how to buy break dance videos, here are some pointers to help you out:
1. Go to dedicated websites. There are numerous online sites which offer break dance classes and videos for sale. Some of these sites include Breakdance.com, click2dance.com and breakdanceclass.com. In break danceclass.com, they don’t actually offer videos for sale but you’d be able to find free sample videos that are labeled into categories such as extreme break dance, crazy break dance and funny break dancing videos. You could enroll for online classes at this site for $29.99. At Cypherstyles.com, you’d find videos ranging from those that give tutorials on the fundamental footwork to videos that show break dance showdowns.
2. Go to trading websites. Of course, make sure to check out popular trading sites such as amazon.com and ebay.com for available break dance videos at lower prices. You can also opt for videos that have been previously-owned, for an even better deal. To help you look around for the best prices, also check out getprice.com.
3. Ask at dance studios. Take the time to visit dance studios near you, and ask the instructors there for their professional recommendations on the best break dance video based on your level of expertise. Another option for you is to visit a community college and see if they have a department there that specializes in dance. And why not enroll for a class while you’re there?
4. Consider renting. If you’re not that decided on which dance style and genre you’d like to learn, perhaps it’ s better for you to rent first instead of buying. Check for it at a nearby video rental store, or try hunting for them at your local library.
There you have it! These are just some of the pointers for you to remember if you’re interested in buying break dance videos. Know that there’s a lot of available options out there for you, and hope this turns out to be a hobby that you’d definitely break into! Good luck!
