The music for breakdancing.
Breakdancing is a form of dance created in the hip hop music community in New York City. It is characterized by fast-paced dancing to frenetic hip-hop, usually remixed with breaks in the music to accommodate the dance moves. The more skilled breakdancers perform mind-boggling moves that resemble acrobatics more than dance. However, if you are a beginner in the breakdancing world, you'll be pleased to know there are a variety of basic moves you can learn in a short period of time.
Instructions
1. Clear a space to form a makeshift dance floor. Hop up and down in time to whatever dance music you have playing. This is called an "Uprock." Modify it by jumping from side to side, or from one leg to the other.
2. Crouch down slightly so it looks like you're in a sitting position. You will actually be standing, so you'll need strong legs. Alternate kicking each leg out while simultaneously thrusting your upper body forward in time with the music. This is called an "Apple Jack."
3. Lean your upper body forward with your right knee outward. Stick your left leg straight out to the side. Put your arms straight out, so your right arm is directly to the right of your right leg and your left arm is straight out between your left and right legs. Keeping your leg straight, swing it in a clockwise motion out and towards your left arm. Right before your left leg hits your left arm, lift both arms directly up so the leg passes under them. Then jump up on your right leg and let your left leg pass under your right leg. You will then be back in the position in which you started. This is called the "Helicopter."
4. Stand straight up, then dive to the ground as if you were going to land in a push-up position. Right when your hands touch the ground, push off so you come back to a standing position. The moment your feet touch the ground, dive back to the ground and repeat the process. This is called "The Donkey."
5. Mix and match any of the above break moves in time with the music to perform some basic breakdancing.
