Breakdancing incorporates acrobatics as well as step combinations.
Breakdancing is a physical and acrobatic form of hip hop dance that is often done as a freestyle. Although the dance is known for its free and spur of the moment nature, a fundamental knowledge of the basic steps associated with breakdancing is essential to become a respected and skilled dancer. Once the basic foundational steps are mastered, the dancer can begin to put his own flair and moves into his routine. The "6-step" breakdancing combination is a series of six steps that form the basis for numerous breakdancing moves. By mastering the 6-step, you will be able to build upon it to develop impressive and memorable dance moves.
Instructions
1. Plant the palms of your hands on the ground in front of you with your feet firmly planted shoulder length apart below you. Your arms and legs will be straight. This is your starting position.
2. Raise your right hand off the ground, extended straight up and step and extend your left foot out to the front of you. Your weight will now be solely on your left arm and right foot.
3. Shift your weight to your outstretched left foot and step your right foot forward, tucking it behind your left knee. Bend the left knee into a squat position when you bring the right foot forward.
4. Bring the front foot, which should be your left foot, around and out to the left and simultaneously plant your right hand down to the ground behind you, in line with your left arm. You should now be in a leaning back, squatting position, with both legs out in front of you and bent and your arms behind you, holding your butt and back off the ground.
5. Cross the right foot in front of the left, staying in the bent knees, squatting position, and raise your left arm up. Keep the right hand firmly planted behind you on the ground. Your weight is now distributed between your right hand and left foot.
6. Extend your left foot back so it is stretched straight out behind you. Raise the bend in the front, right knee so you are now in a lunge. The right knee should be angled out in front of you, diagonally to the left and your weight still on the right hand and arm.
7. Step your right foot back behind you, so both legs are extended behind you shoulder width apart. Simultaneously bring your left arm back to the ground in front of you, parallel to your right arm. You have now returned to your starting position.
