How to start a circle - 05-27-2006, 10:37 AM

How would you start a circle in a dance? The dance is in the school gym building, and there are people dancing and grinding and shit, and so yeah. Toprocking doesn't work because my friend was toprocking through the whole dance basically and nothing happened.
Also, what songs (similar to Morning Showers) do you break to? I keep downloading these weird songs with a lot of guitars ...




Cheers,
Fred Liu

Rofl toprocked through the whole dance and no one notices that's kinda funny in a way... I have my school dance in the same situation as you man. No bboys here, just a lot of morons, barely any circles form, and when it does, half the time people just wait for someone to come in, and some idiot comes in with a friend and the friend grabs his leg and backspins him... yup. Well anyways since i'm the only bboy here, and I have a lot of friends, I just tell me closest friends to tell everyone else to make a circle, since they actually look forward to me breakdancing (well I AM the only one that dances), they make a nice big circle for me, but some idiots do ruin it though. Can you believe it, I was doing footwork and a girl starts dancing behind me, as soon as I rotate I bump into her and I lost the moment lol.

Yeah and my friend was toprocking but no one noticed because they probably thought he was just dancing. There's no bboys at my school and so the non-bboys (everyone basically) probably think he was just dancing randomly. This grade 12 guy did start a circle but he got burned by my friend and the circle collapsed. So any other ways of starting one? I wanna start circles like mad next dance ... Break through the whole thing.

most people dont know that toprocking's a part of bboying, so when you do tops they just think you're dancing. you can do power tops and clear up a lot of space. then do footwork or power.

Just pull out power moves and you will usually get someones attention. Many of the students at my school dont care shit for toprocking or sometimes even footwork.

Well it's a bit hard, since the place where there's a lot of people it's usually crowded so I'll kick someone if I did. The open areas are on the sides of the gym where no one watches ...

At my school dance a circle formed after some guy did some power moves. Since noobs are impressed by them, they all wached and formed one.

If you can pass on knowledge, good, but if your talking out your ass its going to be deleted. Learning can be dangerous, giving people the wrong information can be more dangerous.
