Instructions for How to Brake Dance

104 14

    Wave

    • 1). Stand straight with your feet spread shoulder-width apart and your arms stretched out at shoulder level.

    • 2). Begin a rolling wave-pop motion with the left hand. Start by curling the left finger tips and travel the wave or curl through the left wrist, elbow and shoulder.

    • 3). Isolate each portion of the arm by moving only one joint at a time. Curl the fingers, but refrain from moving any other part of the body such as the hand, wrist, arm or shoulder until the fingers are through rolling, and so on with each following isolation. This creates a wave with a sharp pop, essential to break dancing.

    • 4). Repeat the wave sequence down the right arm once the wave reaches your core or chest. Roll the shoulder, remembering to isolate each small movement, then progress down the arm, elbow, wrist, hand and fingertips, isolating each body part.

    • 5). Complete the isolation movement by sending the wave back to the starting point once it reaches the fingertips of the opposite hand. This means that once it reaches the opposite finger tips, you should send it back in reverse to the finger tips you started with.

    Handstand

    • 1). Stand with your feet about a shoulder width apart. If transitioning off another move, you will still want to give yourself a moment to prepare for the handstand in order to hit the move effectively and with control.

    • 2). Reach your hands towards the ground while simultaneously kicking your feet into the air over your head. Depending on your upper body strength, this move can be done on one hand or two, with one hand being the more difficult version.

    • 3). When you have reached the handstand position, tighten your arms, core and legs to strengthen your control of the movement.

    • 4). Bend your legs backwards continuing to tighten your body, especially your core muscles. Pause in this position. With your legs bent the handstand will look and feel off balance, adding to the visual appeal but also requiring a tight body.

    • 5). Snap your legs and hips back towards the ground, either back the way you came to stand upright or continuing through the bent legs so you land in a bridge with your legs in a squat-like position. The bridge landing is more advanced, so stick to coming out of the handstand normally if first learning the move. To create the snap look and motion, sharply jerk your legs and hips in the desired direction so the momentum gives you a small hop to your feet.
