Uprock Questions...

Hey guys well i wanna learn some uprock but i don't really know much about it i read the stickied thread saying about what it is but what are: foot shuffles, jerks can you give me an example. And does anyone have any kinds of moves that i can use? Or any good burns?

I'd suggest you red through some of the other non stickied threads, there's not many of them and a fair few of them sould help you in some way.
Especially read these...

http://www.bboy.org/t66131/s.html Short clip of some uprock movements.
http://www.bboy.org/t65876/s.html Some comments on learning in person vs videos.

I suggest reading this whole section though, there's something to be learned in a lot of the threads.

It's possible but you have to a good eye and strong dance ability and understanding. Maybe you're one of the lucky few. Good luck.

BTW... who's Rocking in the clips you're studying from?

Mystic Monkey · 10-08-2005, 10:52 PM

One of those clips i've already seen and the other is to old and has expired. What about cool burns

PJAY71 · 10-09-2005, 03:29 AM

Dude... let's be honest. You want to learn Burns to use in your Toprock for Bboying.... that's it - because Uprock is not going on in your country. I'm not dissing, I'm keeping it real. This forum does not promote part-time Rockers. Get your Bboying down-packed if that's the route you want to go.

Peace

It's going in a small way.
I'm learning, brrn showing my pratner in crime what I know, and I know a few of the NCK guys were in Brooklyn a while before I went and learned some too.
I'm not aware of anyone who is at a high standard, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.

To add to that, some time next year a couple of rockers may be moving here. Both of them pretty nasty.

I was speaking to the guy from Australia.

wow thats a trip how you guys talk about uprockin...maybe i got a few things confused, im still new to breaking...but i've always prefered rockin to bboying, cuhs its all about style and expression, and seein the look on the other persons face after u burn them =). i been trying to teach my friends how to do it but they just dont get the style...but yeah just sayin wasup.

edit: but yeah is it wrong to mix it in with toprock? i do it all the time...

PJAY71 · 10-18-2005, 08:38 AM

Sup bro... nice to have your post.

IMO, if you want to mix in a cypher, do your thing but if your in a serious Bboy battle, you should keep it Bboy.

pinoylikehoy · 10-19-2005, 02:13 AM

could you be more specific about that? i mean i kinda get what your saying but im still a little lost about "bboying" i thought rocking was part of it. =/ but it seems to be a completely different thing by the way these guys talk about it.

PJAY71 · 10-19-2005, 09:48 AM

Cool, no problem.

To keep it short. Rocking aka Uprocking is not a part of Bboying but is a part of "Hip Hop" or an original "Funkstyle" you'd might say. Rocking was out before Bboying... around 1968, created in Brooklyn. It is it's own dance form, just like Locking. It has it's own rules which need to be followed to perform it correctly.

Watashi · 10-19-2005, 08:36 PM

just remember, Bboying and Rocking are different dances, so you'd have to learn Rocking, from a Rocker.
