Hey what do you guys do for handmovements when u toprock? I do random stuff, are there any set moves, besides the placing ur hand out n then punching, like brooklyn style?

the best thing i can say is move it to the music, and if you do it just right with your feet movements..dayummm you're gonna get a nice funky taste to ya.

What about adding some poplocking and stuff like that to your toprock?

When you're toprocking think about the ways your arms are swinging on each step and sort of refine that swinging into more of a defined movement and then just switch it up sometimes. Not sure if that makes sense.

There's no such thing as 'poplocking'. There's popping and there's locking.
If you want to add those dances to your tops go ahead, just make it look good because in most cases it doesn't.

As for the arm movements, just don't be repetetive (like don't touch your head all the time) and you'll be aiight.

One way to do it is to mimic your foot movements with your hands. SO you just follow your steps.
