If u r a beginner, u want to get this move down before u start on anything else. Toprock is not technically difficult to do and allows u to express your own style.

Toprock is the thing peeps so when their on their feet, before molesting the floor. Some peeps refer to it as shufling-its not really. The point of it is to form the circle, get people's attention, and get some room to bust their moves. There's all kinds of variations on this, but there is a proper way. U dont really need to know how to do this, but it helps to be able to go from Toprock to 6-step or flares. The main thing is that it looks good, keep with the hip-hop style, and relax.

The proper Toprock is a 4 step, 4 beat dance that's pretty simple to learn. Start with your feet together standing up.

1) Hop forward onto your right toe.
2) Skip back onto your left foot, u can add a lil hop/kick back.
3) Now your right foot goes behind u and to the left, your body can turn with it.
4) Your left foot skips back again and u r in the starting position.

Try it out and make it look good. Add your own style and attitude. To go from this to flare, take a slightly wider step back with your left foot on either step 2 or 4. To go into 6-step, just go into step 3 (of the 6-step) wherever it feels comfortable, probably after step 4.

Tornado

This move can be added into a six-step. It looks really phat if you do it fast consecutively.

1. Start with all fours on the ground with your back facing the ground.Don't let your back touch the ground.
2. Bring your left hand over to your right hand.
3. Next,in a fast motion swing both your arms over your chest to the left, planting them on the ground.
4. Then keep twisting your body so your leg swing over and you land in the staring position.

Hint: If you swing your legs high it looks really phat.

Trip Swipe

Da next move is a lil' footwork thang.... It's extremely easy.....You should master it in a day

[2] You start this move like you would start helicopters/coffee grinders : crouch on da floor and put you're right leg straight and to you're right. You're hands are in front of you and so is you're weight.

[2] Now you start to swing you're right (straight) leg in a circular motion just like in da helicopter. So when you're leg is about to hit you're right arm, you lift it (just like in da helicopter) and da same thing wit you're left arm (just like in da helicopter)

[3] Here comes da tricky part which is pretty hard to explain....
When you're right leg comes close to you're left one, you basically jump you're left leg up. Now instead of just jumping and letting da leg go under and begin again you do this : Now you're both legs are a lil' bit in da air and da weight on yo hands. Now in da very brief moment that you're legs are in da air, you swipe 'em and lift you're right hand off da ground. And you land is this position : weight and hands behind you, right leg BENT and foot flat on da floor and left leg STRAIGHT, heel on da floor. In da swipe part you will probably hit you're right knee around you're right elbow da first couple of times.....

(tip) here's a good footwork combo : six steps, helicopters, trip swipe, pompo.

And remember you do this move only once in a row

just how I like em' man...... nicee guide the words shows it all man, in my opinion your guide doesn't need a vid clip......yo instructions are dope...... well its a good Idea to add a vid clip for the variations and styles though, but great job mad........ "thank you for those pros like this guy out there who make breaking look easier than it seems........ (well you gotta pratice these moves though) like what they say pratice makes perfect...... and don't just do the moves you gotta put your mind in it its like martial arts-alot of concentration "like sensei says" (did I spelled that right?)

I'm confused with the toprock do you cross your feet over?
When you said move you right leg behing your left, so the left leg stays in one sopt the whole time and only you right leg is moving?
Sorry if i sound stupid!!
