Basic Top Rock Moves & Steps in Breakdancing
Top rock is the standing up part of break dancing that dancers begin with and use to transition to the flashier down rock moves. Although top rock is sometimes thought of as basic, it is a central part of break dancing and helps define a dancer's style and skill.

1. Stand with your feet together and arms at your sides. Take a step forward with your right foot, landing only briefly on the balls of your feet.
2. Spread your arms up from your body to a position that resembles a broad hug just as you start to take your step forward.
3. Bring your right foot back to the starting position. Do a little hop on your left foot as you bring your right foot back to add some style. Bring your arms back to the starting position as you do.
4. Step forward with your left foot once your right foot returns to its starting position. Complete the step by performing the same arm movements and hop that you did when you stepped with your right foot.
5. Start doing the move in a rhythm. As you get comfortable moving forward and back in the top rock, add some more bounce to your initial step. Make sure you're not leading with your hips by staying upright throughout the top rock move.
6. Turn to the side as your perform the top rock so you face different parts of the room. Keep the top rock moving and turning so you face different directions to add some more style.
