I would not exactly say that I am a newbie becuz I have been on and off dancing since back in middle school. I stopped for a few years since highschool. I liked kickin it at parties, watching the circle, and hanging with my bboy friends who would teach me things ever now and again. I have such a passion to learn more and to perfect what I already now and reading this has really given me the inspiration that I needed to not give up. Im glad that I found this site! Being a dedicated hip hop fan and inspired by all the talents that I have seen has really enocuraged me to become more dedicated to my passion for danicng. Hip hop moves just are not cutting it for me anymore, what I want to be able to do is cut it up in a cirlce! I work for my props! There are a lot of things that were discussed int this forum that answered a lot of my questions. I am so appreciative of this site!


Thanks!

But at the same time i'm challenged... If i only had the space, i'll give 'em what they want...Judging me wit the way I dress up and the way i talk, up your face!!!! Mad ... Anyways, just venting out... well aside from that, other FACTORS like getting a period and having a chest is a slight disadvantage. Alot of freaking body changes, weight changes, mood and all that. I hate it! makes me wanna be a bboy. You have to carry 2 "extra" weights! (what the...?!) haha.. BUT there are few TIPS for the BGIRLS out there. this is from my experience: *ALWAYS WEAR SPORTS BRA - aside from the fact that it's hard to move and feel extra bounces (haha), ur still a girl, u have to take care of those babies (am i right bboys?) *TIE THE HAIR/USE BANDANA (if it's that long) - you don't wanna be doing extensions and step on your own hair. *WEAR TIGHT BUT COMFY CLOTHES - Unless you're a lesbo (no offense) try to avoid lose clothes for battles or showdowns.. as much as possible, show ur shape! that's the beauty of doing your thing as a bgirl. Eventhough you move like a girl, you'll hit it like a boy then you'll be the CHICK!haha *KNOW YOUR CYCLE (PERIOD) - Sometimes you'll feel like not practicing. Feel like just sitting around and just eat CARBS and you don't freakin recognize it. Then you load and you bloat! then it's hard to move. IF you're period is near already, do conditionings and cut back carbs (the craving is just temporary) just to maintain those muscles conditioned. *MAINTAIN CONDITIONING - Especially that girls have a lot of body / mood changes (which really sucks) before, during or after period, the fat tends to build up fast and sometimes you can't do anything about it if you don't know. So do sit ups and diet...handstands/handstand walk, headstands or whatever that will maintain your body's condition. it's really hard to fight it sometimes but that's the challenge *JAM WITH THE BBOYS - The only way to learn breaking is just doing it. It may be embarrassing at first, you may feel shy or whatever but that's just the start up. do stretchings first, jump around and just listen to the music... see HOW BBOYS do it. OBSERVE, LEARN it and PRACTICE IT then after warming up yourself THEN PRACTICE your own thing...Overcome your fears and JUST DO IT (NIKE) hehe *FOCUS - DON'T BE CONSCIOUS WITH THE WAY YOU LOOK...Just concentrate on the things that you gotta do (that is if you really wanna be a breaker) then CONFIDENCE will follow... Cause if you only wanna impress someone... Just turn around and go back home to "MOMMY"...HEHE *LEARN IT ONE STEP AT A TIME (DON'T RUSH) - There's no rush into anything... you may be slow to progress, but you're sure you're building a strong foundation. and that's the best thing of all. Make yourself strong. *RESPECT and PRACTICE both comes as a NECESSITY - if you can't understand that, then GO HOME and spend time with your family first *STAY POSITIVE - frustrations and disappointments are just there temporarily... real break world is tough, learn to deal with it but just do the right things. establish your own belief, stop being a hater and just focus on the right things. *CELEBRATE YOUR PERFECTED MOVES - always cheer up whenever you've perfected something... be proud but don't be loud but don't lock yourself with that, go ahead and learn some MORE!!! So those are the tips that I can share... hope you girls learned something. If anyone opposes then just reply to this post. BBOYS learn this too so if you'll have a bgirl student or "bgrilfriend" (yiheeee) then this are really some good tips.

good job. it's all true, i'm no sick bgirl yet, but yea, if you wanna get better just go for it, that's what i learned. thanks for your insight =]

Hi and welcome to bboy.org

About your question, breakin' doesn't take alot of power, it just takes balance, control, and endurance... when your talking about physical conditioning, which should already come with practicing bboyin

nothing wrong with taking chinese martial arts anyways, but that might take up a bit of your time

If I were to start something that would help with bboyin, that would be gymnastics

just what I think,

[Poppin_Tofu]

Actually stylez..... it really depends on the moves you're working on.

Powermoves, most of them will involve not only balance and control, but a lot of strength as well ( hence power moves )

If you're gonna work on footwork, you really won't need to use a lot of strength. But good musicality and good endurance helps.

As for freezes.... well.... Pretty much balance, control and strength. Strength usually to hold the freeze longer, but it really depends on what freeze you're doing.

Basically, it's good to have some strength. However, besides having strength, it's good to have flexibility as well.

[showyrself]

i just begin 6 steps trainin' ,but i find it a bit hard 4 me.Any suggestion?

[fae]

check in the moves guide and go to footwork: there are a lot of resources there! if you can be more specific about how it's difficult, maybe we can offer more thoughts! make sure you stay slow and keep the moves clean for now... it'll help in the long run.

Cheerz.
