Bboy: The Baby Freeze

A freeze is exactly what it sounds like. The dancer stops and poses before moving on to the next step or ending his or her turn on the dance floor. One of the easiest freezes to do is the baby freeze because you can use your head as well as your arms for support, and you don't have to lift your legs into a full headstand position. The number one rule with learning a freeze, however, is to take it slow.
  • Start in squatting position.
  • Reach both of your hands over to the right side of your body.
  • Place both of your hands on the floor. (Your hands should be pointing in opposite directions—one to the front, one to the back.)
  • You want to keep your arms as close to your body as possible. Your bended right arm is actually going to push into your side during the freeze, and your bended left arm is going to form a shelf to rest your right knee on during the freeze.
  • Lean your body (still in the squat position) all the way over your bended arms, and rest your head on the ground. Your right foot should be off the floor with your knee resting on the shelf formed by your left arm.
  • Lift your left leg up. You are now in the freeze position. Your body weight is being supported by your head and your two bended arms.
