you got tips for breaking in public? - 10-19-2008, 06:18 PM

I've been breaking for a about 2 years now and would say i'm pretty good. I still haven't done much practise breaking in front of people who aren't bboys...
When i'm with mates i usually have a few good sets and just different things but when i break in public i always rush things and usually come up after only a few moves. It's f'ing annoying when i don't show people what i can really do. You got any tips for staying cool and how to enjoy it? I guess i should film myself more and then see how it looks.

Peace

Stop caring what other people think, if you're as good as you say you are they'll probably think your dope anyway. hell I did mutiple 2steps/babyswipes once just to show someone how I did them adn some random guy was like, that was pretty good. oh and if you dance in public, just try to focus on your dancing not the people around you, oh and if some asshole starts laughing at you call him out then laugh him in then face when he tries to replicate what you just did, or ignore him.


oh and you might run into people that tell you to show them something, if you want you can, but if you dont want to don't, it's not your job to entertain them.

when old people start laughing at you, start flashing gang signs with an angry look, thatll shut them up.

Don't fall and don't suck. That simple.

You only live once, but if you work it right, once is enough.

It’s better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you’re stupid than to open it and remove all doubt. — Mark Twain

Close them off your mind. Focus on yourself.

Wonder's how many time I've breaked in public.
Just express yourself usually ppl don't really care or if someone pays attention and watches just express how you dance.

Be aware that when you are breaking in public, you are representing bboying and hip hop culture. Do it right or don't do it at all. My tip for breaking in public: Don't misrepresent.

Don't want people going home after they see you thinking "fuck bboys are mad wack!"
