I know powermoves (for the most part) are derived from gymnastics and inspiration from capoeira moves, but what about the footwork? Well, y'know, stuff like six step, three-step, yada yada. I tried to compare it with all the other dances I know of and nothing really seemed to match the movements. Any1 got some thoughts? Cuz, I'm as good as lost in this matter.

I think some guy named Spy invented six step and then people came up with the other steps from that.

[Pyro AoD]

actually only flares came from gymnastics, jus one powermove.

and moves weren't derived from caporiea, and caporiea moves werent derived from breakin either.

caporiesta's were doin headspins before they seen bboys doin it and vice versa.

So an L-Kick isn't an Au Batido or whatever? How sure are you?

Well from what I've read, air flares were invented by some black dude from Germany and then popularized by this dude Kujo and his crew.

[RingerINC]

it came from rocking dude, people would just be doing shit standing up and occasionally hit the floor for like a second or two and get back up. It kind of extended itself from that.

[Vodoom]

seriously i want to know who invented the babymill. so random.

[AK47]

Poe One invented the AirChair.

[bboy-cuk]

if im not mistaken


crazy legs invented the continuous backspin aka the windmill
spy invented the 6step and variations
C-Cs in footwork were from a crew called crazy commando or smth like that
kool herc invented the zulu spin

im pretty sure kujo didnt invent the airtrack, however he is the 1st one i have seen doing it, think he made it more popular

no clue for other moves, tho i know ivan and storm perfected windmills :]

[Pyro AoD]

Well from what I've read, air flares were invented by some black dude from Germany and then popularized by this dude Kujo and his crew.

The first flare was performed by Canadian gymnast Phillip Delassal in the mid-1970s and adapted by American Kurt Thomas at the World Gymnastics Championships, Thomas was the first to do a flare in a gymnastics routine in competition, hance the name 'Thomas Flare'

and kujo didnt adapt flares into breakin, kujo has been dancin somewhere around 15 years and if you watch Breakin' the movie, someone does a flare in that movie. which was filmed in the 80's, before kujo started dancin
