The Four Foundations of Breaking

Breaking is built on four fundamental elements.

1. Toprock

Standing dance that opens your set. It's your introduction, your style, your flavor.

Key moves:

1. Indian Step
2. Crossover
3. Kick & Spin

2. Footwork

The groundwork -- literally. Complex patterns performed on the floor.

1. 6-step (the foundation)
2. 3-step
3. CC's and variations

3. Power Moves

Acrobatic, momentum-based movements:

1. Windmill
2. Flare
3. Headspin

4. Freezes

Static poses that punctuate your dance:

1. Baby Freeze
2. Chair Freeze
3. Airchair
