Breakdance is a dance style well known for its acrobatic aspect. It is a form of street dance that incorporates intricate body movements, coordination, style and aesthetics. The people who perform this style of dance are known as b-boys or b-girls.
Just like all physical disciplines, break dance has a handful of basic elements that make up the dance form and which all breakers learn to be able to 'throw down' in a cypher, battle or dance club.
Taking break dance classes is a great way to improve your fitness levels. This dance class will leave you with a feeling of exhilaration resulting from a great workout! Our teachers Florent and Dasha are very patient and good at explaining the technical intricacies of breakdance.
Here is a rundown of basic elements :
Top Rock - is a dancing while still standing and it's how breakers start their throw down, before going to the floor
Footwork - is down on the floor using their hands for support as they move their legs through a variety of breaking footwork steps, like a 6 step, a 3 step, shuffles
Freeze - makes, hits and holds a solid shape with their body for a few seconds
Power moves -the most dynamic element of breaking, when a B-Boy or B-Girl propels their whole body into a continued spinning or rotational motion, while balancing on their hands, elbows, head, back or shoulders.
