Am i performing it right? - 12-12-2003, 12:09 AM

1.feet should width apart..
2.skip with my right leg to the left
--(when right leg touches the ground my left comes into the air)
3.Skip/kick out right leg to the bak
--left leg comes down to original position
4.right leg ends up behind my left (still in motion in air goin bak in a circular motion then i force it down quickly so my body weight is suspended/weightless for split second ,
5.skip with my left leg to the right(its not suporting my body weight )and is in process of going to right
6.right leg completes the circular motion and comes bak to were it originaly started
7.left leg lands over at right.
--right comes into the air)
8.left leg skips bak in circular motion
9.right leg comes down.
10.as left leg completes its rotation weight is lifted from the right leg and i am able to move it to the left
11.left leg lands in its original position
12.right touches the ground infront of my left leg..



somehow.. everyone is able to undestand much simpler version of what i just wrote but thats how i tend to enterprite what everyone describes as toprock..

give me some feedback as to wat you think ... and what should i improve/change if im doing it wrong..


thanks

Dont forget that toprock is supposed to be your own style so u dont always have to follow the basic guide lines

Drifter...the final project

Breaking can be whatever you want it to be. If you want it
to be the original, structured dance that it was 20 years ago,
then it can be that for you. If you want it to be your own
limitless form of expression, it can be that for you.
The world will never agree on what exactly Breaking is...
and if the world ever does agree, then I guess I won't be Breaking anymore.

Whew im relieved that its the right way... cause i got my friends.. sayin (who are not into bboyin ) that its not toprock....

yesterday i got my feet bleeding all over from practicing toprocking soo much....

i realie believe in perfection so i wont move to anythin else till my toprock is near perfection.... well maybe a 6&3step..


Still guys i relie want to hear wat you think

make sure you're in sync with the music though and as long as you hit the beats and theres some flow do what you want ... use your discretion

peer pressure
