[B-Boy Aççension]

Hey bboys (and bgirls!) I'm working on my toprock, and im wondering what to do with my hands, usually im just swining and crossing them in front of me, but since i have my leg part down i wanted to move onto making my hand motions more intricate, could you guys give me ideas? im really bad on creativity, and when i try to feel the music i end up flailing around like an idiot.... and i feel like a complete ass lol

so yeah, peace

[Mr.Bboy]

try to think of movements your self lol

Toprock and locking. The best way for style

[destiny012]

frankly speaking- my opinion is-
toprocking isn't toprocking if your legs are the only things that are moving. You can drastically tell the difference. I gaurunrtee you, if you saw someone topping with just their legs, you'd think they suck. It was my biggest problem as well.

People always like bringing a hand up to their head, that looks pretty sick. Sometimes i do a thing where I punch one hand into the either when i cross over. I also like to do that boxing move/tae-bo thing, where you roll around your arm. when the beat's right, any move can look sick.

Best of luck.

The advice I got from Alien Ness was to talk with your hands. Use them to tell a story. If you can't do that...just protect your face like a boxer.

^ pretty much those tips above here.

Another tip is to practise in front of a mirror or reflecting glass, and just try hand movements you think that might look cool. Sort the cool ones out, and practise them. You can make the same steps you do entirely different by doing other hand movement.

definitely hand to your head. but it works better with longer hair, especially azns with longer hair. It makes me look absolutely sexy LOl XD

[Mr.Bboy]

[Markos]

better one, hand to your cap! Looks cool imo.

Or you could grab your crotch. Just be careful though, I was playin around doin' that once when I was practicin' at school and some cat there tried to make fun of me by doin it faster and slapped the HELL outta his balls. The kid was down some 20 minutes and he looked like the total idiot.

yeh,that looks pretty cool.

If you are stepping forward, swing your hands back towards your body. Although at first it looks kinda noobish, as you practise it you will learn to do different things with your arms and hands, such as point them in different directions etc.

Just make sure your hand follows wat you do wid your legs in the sense dont think of it as only ur legs dance think of it as if your whole body dances.
