k my last forum sucked i didn't get to finish so i am gonna start over. my name is arielle im 14 and i live in orlando florida. i want to start breakdancing to keep on shape nd to try something fun. im 5'4 and weigh 115. idont know where to start because i would buy a video to start but i know my overprotected dad would most likely not let me(he wont let me try for the cheerleading squad ) so untill im 16 and get a job i dont know where to start and yesterday i workout a lil and now my calves hurt so if any one can give me advice i would greatly apreciate it
thank you to all and god bless
i'm not a number i'm a person with a purpose
to try new things and to differ myself from others .

you can just find clips of simpler moves here to help you start out. try 6step and 4step first, along with toprock. for a workout, just do pushups, situps, (insert action here)ups, you can do these excercises for 20 min or so before you go to sleep or whenever you get the chance, but weight training helps a lot too

thanks thats a great way to start robotx

along with what robotx saidl try 2 step or baby swipes (same thing) to understand the swisting motion for swipes so that you can get 1 legged swipes down as your first power move. also get an early start on mills because they are damn annoying and take ages (I still havent got them) to learn and wen ur upper body is tired or injured practise your toprock and get creative because that and your footwork are the only original things you can do and footwork only goes so far.

yeah i have an idea thank you and one more thing
i want to know that if i practice/workout everyother day would that beentoo much . cause my scheduale is very crazy iwake up at 5am but ill wake up at 4 to work out then when i get home at 3 ill practice for 30 minutes then afterill do my chores and homework
does that sound good to you? thanx for helping ********

trying new things are great
Meeting new people are even better
To be yourself is to try whats interest you
but if being you is being a crowd thenthats cool
As long as your being you.^o^

work out wenever your not sore, and i dont suggest working out in the morning right after you wake up, do a cardio exercise instead 2 build endurence, i cant beleive u wake up at 5!! i wake up at 8am and thats on a good day!
ummm i find that workin out and bboyin and stuff makes my head go unconcentrated so i cant do my homework afterwards so yeah.

lil trini · **guess what!!!!!! -** 03-22-2005, 05:57 PM

guess what, guess what, guess what, guess what,
im so happy today i was watching ''you got served'' and my lil sister asked me to spot her as she did a front flip. so after ihelped her a tried to do a frontflip and I DID IT(i landed on my butt though but its a start) im so happy all this excercise is paying off ^o^

thanx for all the help

Arielle ^o^

lil trini · 03-23-2005, 10:32 PM

any way i slept so well
but my dad is suspecting something cause i called my brother in new york and told him about my breakdancing and when i go there hes going to help me.so im doni great (today i tried to flip i landed on my butt again ouch!!!)
but im doing good

warm shizzle · 03-24-2005, 05:08 AM

lucky u, i have 2 learn by myself an i dont even hav da bboy.org dvd coz ma parents dont let buy off da internet and i cant drive so i cant go up 2 auckland 2 try and find it.

on the brightside i nearly got mills, just need 2 learn 2 stab properly then i can link my mills.

lil trini · 03-24-2005, 04:17 PM

im sorry
well same here, i have to wait till my birthday(7/11/90) to get it or till i get a job and my dad is try to prevent me from getting hurt.(he thinks if i fall ill bleed to death)

lil trini · 03-24-2005, 04:28 PM

hey but all of a sudden i have tis fear of doing a front handspring.
like every time im about to run like when my hands touch the ground
I frezze man
i need to practice

RobotX · 03-25-2005, 07:34 PM

hey, if you can get onto your back from a frontflip, just use that as a suicide. one of the best reactions you can get from a crowd of nonbreakers is to front flip onto your back and hear gasps. just make sure you can land flat on your back, and good luck gettin the whole flip

lil trini · 03-25-2005, 07:38 PM

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
