History of Breakdancing:
Breakdancing was founded by the black community and Puerto Rican kids in the 1970s. And it really became popular after James brown’s single “Get On The Good Foot” where his busted out his high energy footwork dancing. After that, the kids in New york started to copy his moves and eventually it evolved to be called b-boy or break dancing.
At that time most of the style was ground footwork combinations without any of the fancy stuff you see today like windmills or back spins that are popular today. There were also breakdancing battles between gangs or clicks.
Another dance called “uprock” influenced the b-boy dancers. In this dance style, the dancers mimic fighting moves into rhythmic dance moves that opponents would use to ‘battle’ against one another.
The music is not restricted to Hip Hop anymore. These days dancers choose Techno, Jazz, electronic, pop and an other types of music that suites their style.

Basic technique: footwork (style)
Footwork or style is one of the main sub-styles in breakdance.
It includes, as the name suggests, "footwork". And indeed it is. A variety of "running", "cutting" and so on. Each bboy tries to stand out in footwork and do it in his own way. Therefore, it is important to learn the basics at the beginning, and then proceed to improvise and develop your own manner in footwork. nine0003

These stops are called "friezes". Also in breakdance, many elements are performed from a handstand, elbows, etc. This power substyle is called "trix". Watch break dance lessons and master the base of these directions. nine0003

How to improve yourself in breakdancing
Red Bull b-boy athlete Killa Kolya gives 10 clear tips - a complete guide to breakdancing. nine0003
You can start at home too!
If you have a desire to dance breaking, try this direction, you can even start at home.
Find tutorial videos on youtube and try to repeat what they show there. And if the desire to dance has already finally taken shape, then it's time to find any studio where there is a break dance and sign up.
Free form!
Clothing should be loose: not to fetter anywhere, not to squeeze, not to tighten. An excellent option can be hoodie pants and a T-shirt, you can even go up a size. And sneakers or sneakers, whoever is more comfortable. nine0003
Breakdance equipment also includes a hat and a jacket: a hat is needed in order to perform elements below, where the head touches the floor, so that there is protection, and the jacket helps to spin - it glide better, and also serves as protection.
Everyone will find their form

And then everyone will find their form. You can see what your favorite b-boys have chosen as their equipment. You will see that someone has chosen tight clothes for themselves, someone prefers jeans.
After all, the form is a continuation of the dance style. So, when you form your style, you will understand what is better to dance in. For example, if there is a big emphasis on stretching, it is better to give preference to loose clothing, it will be more comfortable in it. nine0003
The Basic Approach - The Foundation of Your Training
© Ali Bharmal / Red Bull Content Pool
The Basic Approach
The classic way to organize your workout is to warm up, learn the movements, pump up and stretch at the end of your workout. If you approach it from the dance side, then toprock is the best warm-up. This is a dance that does not have complex elements and physical activity, but at the same time, arms, legs, and the body are involved in it. If you give it 15-20 minutes, you can warm up well, here you need to follow the sensations. After that, you can move on to the movements below, for example, use the calls down and footwork.
And when you feel that you are already in the right condition, you can proceed to the study of complex elements. And as a download, I most often do the breakdance elements themselves, I do them for the number of approaches: this is how the element is worked out and the download occurs. And finally, the basic stretch. nine0003
Atmosphere
When choosing a place to train or dance, remember that atmosphere matters. There must be a spirit of creativity and the same people, close in spirit, from whom you will charge and charge them. To have an energy exchange. Plus to everything - there should be a good floor. For b-boys, it is important that there is a slippery floor, it is easier to perform spinning elements on it.
The choice is yours
If you break breaking into directions, then for each you need to master certain movements that will help you master the direction itself. For example, for toprock, the quality of the hull is important. That is, so that not only the arms and legs work, but the body shakes.
In general, for any dance direction, the basis of the dance is the quality. For breaking use funk-kach. nine0003
For footwork there is a basic movement - Russian Steps: squatting, not holding hands, swings legs alternately. If you have seen Russian folk dances, then you can imagine what it is about.
It is imperative to master this movement so that all other movements and elements of direction can be easily obtained.
Don't give up!

For more physically demanding moves like power moves and power tricks, you need to be able to do different handstands, headstands, shoulder stances and so on. And from here it will be easier to learn more complex elements. nine0003
Do not throw
If movement is not given, the reason must be found. If we are talking about simple directions, then, most likely, there is not enough technique, and you just need to work on this movement more.
If a complex element is not given, most likely, there is not enough physical preparation and you need to pump up or learn something additional about this element.
It happens that an element is not given at all for a very long time, and then you need to give it time. Don't get hung up. Continue to teach him, repeat each lesson, but do not torture yourself with questions why he is not given. Each element has its own period and operating time. The main thing is not to throw. nine0003
Mood, Attitude and Approach

Mood, Attitude and Approach
The essential elements for a successful session are your mood, your attitude, what you want to get out of this workout and your approach, how serious are you. This is the basis that is important for any workout and result.
Protect yourself!
To prevent injuries, it is important to learn the technique of the elements.
When you approach the study of a certain element, it has its own technique. In order to learn how to do it as safely as possible, you need to master this technique. nine0003
Well, protect yourself. As I said before, wear a hat and sweater to cushion falls. Because in the process of studying the elements, there will still be some minor bruises, bruises, abrasions. But this is inevitable, because this is an extreme dance.
Protect yourself!
© Nika Kramer/Red Bull Content Pool
Serious injuries such as dislocations or fractures are very rare. And they are always the result of an illiterate approach, when you are not sufficiently prepared to try something difficult. nine0003
Well, pumping helps against injuries: the body becomes stronger and easier to endure a collision with the floor. And with experience, you learn the art of the right fall, a cat skill is developed. This is where stretching helps.
Dance with what doesn't hurt
If you are injured, approach wisely.
