How long have you been breakdancing?

[michaeljackson]

Hey everyone!

I have only been breakdancing for around 1 year. I was just wondering how long you guys have been doing it?

Thanks.

[Alex]

On and off for about a year. Need to work more on building muscle, I think.

[Joe]

I think building on technique and being fit is more valuable than building muscle.

I'm not breakdancing for long, but i'n have learned one thing..
If you want to be a good bboyer with powermoves,
than you must have a really hi muscle,,
If you don't have something like that you must train hard in speed moves,,
That is not easy, but you can get much points with that.

Laterzzzz
M_ike, Goodluck with training,, and train good for muscle ;)

bye..

i second that, i havent been breakin for long, but damn i need some more muscels before i get into the handy shit, rite now its just footwork for me

[George_Berry]

yeah, im also a total beginner, All I can do is footwork, although I am in the process of learning 'parkour' so Il be running up walls too.

[breakbeginner90]

ive been breaking for about a month and i havent made too much progress and i need more tips to get better at footwork and yeah ive been doing pushups...do you think that would help? and do u guys know any ways i could learn how to make my balance better?

[stiggy]

it gets easier the more flexible you become

so my only advice is stretch 5-6 times a week
flexability increases strength and is important for balance to

warm up, stretch, workout, then stretch again

I just started. I've always wanted to but have suffered from having no rythm. I just found this free video series (http://www.expertvillage.com/interviews/breakdancing-moves.htm) that breaks down the movies really simple that even I can do moves.

Hey y'all,
I've only been breaking for about a week n i've been working on building strength n edurance for holds. I hav got into practicing up rocking and the six step, but after i've been up rocking for about 5 seconds it seems it's just the same thing over n over. Need to thro some originality in there i think.
@jerseyguy: some good clips there. like his style of up rocking bit hard to learn all those variations he thros in 'coz he don't explain 'em. You got any more sites where it shows you 'em better. I shud be starting training next week neway.

I know how to do any kinds of dancing.. I been doing it since 1999. And I have been doing chorography since 1997 also. :)

hey im totally new to breakdancing but realllllly want to learn. i definitly am in shape for it, im 5'11, 99% muscle, very athletic, and flexible, but online videos and instructions just dont seem to work. I live about 20 miles outside of NY and maybe some of you know some academies etc... or anything to steer me in the right direction, thanks

I was a break dancer for a few years ago, then i quit, now i have started again. Im also a gymnast. And have been Norwegian champion in my age class several times. Before i trained gymnastics up to 20 hours a week, and i got very buff, now i train less, but even harder.
Because i train gymnastics i have established muscles on my body, who makes it easier to do powermoves and stuff. I usually practise break dance after trainings with my break dance crew.
I also do a lot of flips and stuff. Some combos, footwork, powermoves and mixed with my gymnastics skills;)

Seven years and lovin it up.

[BBoyMik3]

ive been breakdancing for about a month,
first i learned the coffee grinder, which took me 2 days.
second is 6 step, also 2 days,
and the windmill, which i'm trying to master.
yeah, i kinda suck but, still, im a newb

[unorthadoxx]

this is just a little over a year for me

[CmeDance_09]

well at least most of you already been breaking for some time now, however, im just beginning to learn it 2 days ago, and hopefully you'll help me answer if i have some questions in mind, will gladly to appreciate it.

[BBoySL]

Me I just started 2years ago and in march it'll be 3years but I need a spot to practice if Im gonna get better

[kivi]

about those things with quitting coz' no muscless, well that's nonsance! you don't need muscles for sixstep for example and the footwork isn't hard eather an those too can make very good dance. ofc you need muscles but don't think you can't leran anything if you're weak. do 50 push - ups a day and u'll be fit enough ;).

[B-BoyFroZone]

i been beakin 4 a couple of years...the first year on and off...now im steady
