Im kinda new doing breakdance, I see you all talking about flare, but Im not sure which one should I start with first, any idea?

[Threadz]

what do u mean which flares theirs mainly only three... the mini flare, the flare, and advanced flares (the variations of flares)king flares, elbow flares juggle the hat etc.. but i'd say just practice learning one flare unless u want the mini......

[BBoy Aise]

whats a mini flare and whats a king flare?

[xlunatic]

king flare is hopping in between flares, like you have no hands on the ground at one point, but its really brief. dont know what mini flares are

[James2258]

well... Which one should I start with? got any vid? Thanks.

[Rowinc]

Start with the regular flare.

I belive mini flares are circles, if it is theres a guide written by sektor stickied in this section. In my opinion, its probably easier to start off with regular flares to get the feel of doing them

[shigity]

circles require more strength since you dont really have the same momentum that open legs give you. think of the process of mitosis, how the spindle fibers pull different things in different directions

new bboys dont start with flares -.-
the first move u should learn is swipes .. poping and some footworks
then the second move u should learn is windmill..
then flare and .. etc.

becareful .. if u start the swipes with CW and do it perfectly ur all move will be CW and ur ur winmill will be CW.. the same thing for CCW.
so its ur chiose and btw its hard to change from CW to CCW.

U don HAVE to learn it in that order-I learned mills b4 toprock n sum ppl learn flares b4 mills. for flares just start out with regular flares. again, u dun HAVE to learn regular flares first but i would think that variations are harder and a better approach would be to learn regular flares so that u know the concept first

[ytr]

you can't start from the end...
You should start with flares, just get good guide and video
and train everyday, make sure that you rest when you feel any pain, or else you won't be able to train for month... ahm as me

[FinalianX]

just learn freezes first

[superduff]

no, learn what u want, dats all

[shigity]

you can almost tell if someone learned from mike garcia if the first move they practice is swipes

[FinalianX]

haha i thought mike garcia only teaches windmill
