Bboy: 3 Step

You will learn the foundational movements and basic moves in a beginner's pace to breakdance. Starting out with 3 important components of the dance, which are: 1. Toprocks, 2. Downrocks, and 3. Freezes. These are the primary concepts for getting a start on breakdancing. Because this dance is like a story, a story has 3 parts, beginning, middle, and end. Just like breakdancing, it has three parts. These are the parts that will be used throughout the whole dance.

We start out with an introduction and demonstration to these concepts. Then I teach you rhythm concept coinciding with the music; musical training. Next is musicality, we start out with the first concept of the dance; toprocks. This is to understand the concept of rhythm with moves.

After, I introduce Downrocks. the 2nd part of the dance. Downrocks is what defines this dance. It's all the crazy, versatile, dynamic movements on the floor. But before we go to downrocks, we have to learn Drops, because drops is that transition that blends the 1st dimension (toprocks) to the 2nd dimension (downrocks). Dance is about fluidity, so the drops are very imperative in order to maintain the dance.

Next we move on to freezes.
This is the last part of the dance. After you've done all those crazy moves, it runs like a blur, but then you stop and hold a pose. When applying this move, It proves a point. It's an accent to the music. It's what gives the gasp effect to the audience.

Then i teach you small other methods that help to characterize the dance. Teaching some style. And history of the dance.
  • Step 1 Starting out With an introduction and demonstration to concepts of the dance. Rhythm Concept, Musical Training. Learning how to dance to the music using moves. Learning Foundational movements and basic moves in a beginner's pace. Starting out with 3 primary concepts throughout the dance. Introduces style to characterize the movements of the dance. Instructs toprocks: Indian step, hustle step, outlaw step, salsa step, salsa front, salsa back, back step, kick step, uprock, frontal step, crossover with a few additional poses.
  • Step 2 Next, instructs the key element that defines the dance. Downrocks. These are fundamental basic foundational methods that will develop muscle structure in legs, compound exercises, control, and movements. Lots of repetitions and drills in order to gain muscle memory. Different range of motions and stretching exercises to increase flexibility in movements and motions. Downrocks include: Footwork (1 step, 2 step, 3 step, 4 step, 5 step, 6 step, 7 step, 8 step, 9 step, 10 step, 12 step), Scissor kicks, swift kicks, shuffles, transitions (scuttles, webs, headswipes), baby swipes, loops, scissor shuffle loops, wraps, weaves, threads, CiCi's, Sweeps, Corkscrew, Drops, Slides, Glides, etc.
  • Step 3 Last, instructs the last component of the dance. Freezes. This is the accent of the music. Develops muscle structure in upper body, balance, technique, and coordination.
