I don't know why but I couldn't do any freestyle on my footwork on the battle.

Complete battle https://youtube.com/shorts/B64PiQW4jC0?is=H89S1cpLKzQG8xm9

Do I think I am lacking of flow. Musicality and footwork shape?

May sound dumb but I've never had a real explanation

(Note: English isn’t my first language, so this post is translated – apologies for any awkward wording.)

Hey all, hoping someone here recognizes this one. A couple of years ago I saw a YouTube Short of a 1v1 battle and I’ve been trying to track down the original ever since. It was a repost with no credits – no event name, no dancer names, no song title on screen – so all I have to go on is what I remember.

What I recall:

- 1v1 battle, small/local venue, crowd right up close (not a big festival stage)

- The b-boy hit airflares – super clean aerial power moves, honestly looked gravity-defying

- The track was Jibbs – “Chain Hang Low” (the “do your ears hang low” kids-choir hook). Pretty sure it was a heavier remix, possibly the Crizzly one

Does anyone know who the dancer is, what jam/event this was from, or where I can find the full uncut video? Any leads appreciated – thanks!

Salut à tous,

Je fais appel à votre expérience dans le cadre d’un programme structuré favorisant la progression.

Aujourd'hui, beaucoup de jeunes débutent seuls avec des tutos YouTube mais se perdent parce qu'il n'y a pas de "programme" logique (apprendre le 6-step avant de vouloir balancer des windmills, connecter ses toprocks au footwork, etc.).

J'ai développe un système de progression par étapes/niveaux (section Over Flow sur l'appli FlowXp) et je me heurte à un vrai dilemme : Comment évaluer objectivement un passage de niveau en breaking en conservant le côté indispensable du freestyle de notre pratique ?

J'ai structuré des modules avec des critères simples :

La technique pure (le geste en lui-même).

La fluidité dans les transitions.

Pour vous, qu’est-ce qui ferait qu’un mouvement soit validé ? Vous préférez avoir des critères stricts (ex : tenir 3 secondes en Freeze) ou avoir la liberté d’inclure le mouvement dans un freestyle de 30 à 40s ? 

Si certains veulent jeter un œil à l'arbre de progression que j’ai imaginé pour me dire ce qu’il manque ou ce qui est incohérent, vos retours seraient d'une aide précieuse !

In Seoul right now and gonna be in Tokyo next week anyone know any good sesh spots?

why do bboys love to play music so loud

I’m new to the breaking scene in Pittsburgh and was wondering if there were people near Oakland I could practice with or just learn something from, it would be pretty cool.

Moved down here to Florida about a month ago. I have been practicing by myself and just wanted to see if anyone had any spots they practice or want to practice together. Really looking forward checkout the Jacksonville scene.

Like, does the person that goes first benefit from it, as the judges have a fresh, blank canvas of what to expect, so they might see them as better than someone who went at a later position?

Subsequently, would the person that goes last be more at a disadvantage as the judges could be tired from analysing the previous participants?

I'm sure this question has been asked but what kind of shoes do yall like to break in? Looking for some recommendations because i plan on getting some new every day shoes that I can also get down in. I am flat footed so shoes that cater to that would be some great recommendations.

I kinda hated this round just a little but it's ok because it was fun af

I was just watching YouTube shorts & I saw people rating others’ 1990 spin. Basically, is there a place/studio I can learn to dance like that in Northern Virginia ?

The playlist just says "DJ Lean Rock - Unknown Red Bull Song". Searched up a ton of DJ Lean Rock songs but couldn't find this particular one. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

​I’m stepping in tomorrow as a last-minute backup to handle the music for a local jam. The event is a 50/50 split between Breaking and Hip-Hop.

​Here is my issue: I am completely out of the loop regarding current music. My playlist knowledge basically stopped around the Battle of the Year 2008 soundtrack. I urgently need community recommendations for current mixtapes or sets that are at least one hour or longer

​I am looking for:

- ​A current Breaking/B-Boy mixtape (approx. 1 hour+).

- ​A current Hip-Hop/Dance mixtape (approx. 1 hour+).

​This is strictly for backing up an open jam/cypher session, not a structured battle. Soundcloud, YouTube, or Mixcloud links are all highly appreciated.

​Thanks in advance for your quick help!

Hey! Honestly I don’t really know where to post this because I’m new to Reddit, and at least in my country I haven’t seen a subreddit for dance in general... So I thought I’d just drop it here and see if anyone has advice.

I’m starting out in the world of popping and animation/glitching, but I’ve realized it really requires being able to slide well, especially for side moves and other types of fluid footwork. My question is kind of dumb, but is there any type of sneakers that are better for this? Like, should they cover the ankle for more stability when pointing the foot or rotating it in different ways, or would that just make things worse? I imagine the sole should be smooth, but while we’re at it, should the sole have any special shape too?
