Hello. I got pretty bored sitting on my pc eating dognuts so i fought im gona make a guide to show new people what moves they should learn first including power and wich ones are hardest so here we go.
1. UpRock
Easiest move ever but also the one that will need most working with as you have to make this one very individual.
Uprock Teaching Clip
2. Footwork
Second most important move that has to be as individual as possible. Unless you want to become a straight power B-boy then these are the moves you have to work with very hard to make them look as cool as possible.
So wich one to learn first ? Well i figured that most people (i think) start with the 6 step. But there is an easier one that i started with called the 3 step. If you get that down then you can do all the rest. Simply Because you will only add a step or take away a step to make a different one.
3 Step Guide Video Included
Next you can learn the 6 Step
**6 Step Tutorial**
And Some variations if you want.
footwork beyond 6-step
Swipes
These are quite cool moves wich you can combo really well with you footwork. Shouldnt take too long to learn neither. Maybe 2 or 3 days.

Freezes
Next thing and i believe this one is one of the best ones to get the girls cheering is freezes. There are many different variations and these are one of the hardest moves and can be painfull if your wrist is not strong enough and you dont practice regulary. These are the ones were you stick your arm in your stomach and balance your whole body on that arm (or 2).
I found a VERY good guide to show you the best ones.

Handglides
Now that you can do some freezes you should be able to get into a handglide freeze (one arm only) and start to spin on it. works really well with wristbands or jumper sleeves on your hand. Then you learn turtles perhaps but they require lots of stregth.
---- Right about now you should be able to try and do some handstands (not the handstand powermoves but just some handstands) ill explain later -----

Handstand Moves
If you followed my advice you should be pretty cool with handstands now. Now you can learn some kicks and airfreezes. Once you are conmfortable and can hold handstands for quite a while maybe 20 seconds try 1990s and 2000s

Headspins
One of the harder powermoves headspins require good and regular practice

Can take up to 3 months if you do not practice regulary.
The rest is up to you. If you can do all of the above you can call yourself a true b-boy. and dont forget practise the ones at the top the most as they are the key in style. Good luck
