i was just curious to know how old everyone was when they first started to b-girl or b-boy i guess.
and did you get helpfrom b-boys/b-girls that did this as a life term?

any interesting stories behind it all.
LMFAO...
Just startinng a convo.

[sherbert]

Well I started when I was around 14 so 2ish years now for me,
and there is never really a true term for professional bboying//bgirling.
It's just a life of dance and dance of life, "I live to dance, I dance to live."
I live by thattt keep dancing and never stopp.

[BBOYCHOP]

i want to meet some bgirls!

started when I was 13 - now 36. Crew was called the Unique Rockers and eventually ended up battling the famed Rocksteady Crew who later we became very tight friends with. Still dancing, djing and tagging. To other it was a 'fad' - for me and the crew it was a culture and that you keep for life.

I started when I was 13. My crew taught me a couple things, but mostly I have to teach myself. Basically they told me I should teach myself anyway.

[Scaraken]

Hmm..

Started a couple of months ago, teach myself most of the stuff and I attend a class which is purely for foundational shit. So my actual moves and things go slowly. I learn slower than a lot of people on here, but I don't really mind

Lately I haven't had much time for bboying because stuff has popped up, and a breaak session takes longer and longer each time...more things to try out, more need for a bigger warm-up and such...so I suggest when you have the time to bboy, TAKE IT because you never know when you'll run out of time until it happens.

Yur.

i was 14 when i started bboyin, but i dont really relize, what it takes, so i just train one hour a week. but then i went to boty 2007 and met some guys and now i train with them, an we build a crew, so you can say, when i really strated it an relized what it takes i was nearly 16.

[rocababy4]

I just started about 2 months ago and I'm 19 but i've done plenty of other dance styles.

[bgirlaeonic]

I started bgirling when I was 15 & I'm 18 now.

and seriously you improve like ten times more just by being confident - i feel like i suck but after a session where ive trained hard and stuff i can see the improvement (our crew have got into habit of filmin each other on our phones and stuff so that at the end of a session so you can see what it looks like and you can change what you dont like next time haha)
