Hackney

You skip backwards when you jerk.

There are 5 positions for the arms and for the feet.

they are called First position, second position, third position, fourth position and fifth position. each position is slightly different from the one before it.

Stretch Before You Dance :D

Its VERY hard but i suggest putting a video of you on youtube,facebook ect.

If someone hasn't already mentioned this, if you wouldn't dance or sing for free (and wouldn't mind being an unpaid performer for many years), you won't last long in a cruel business if your main goal is fame. You need to love it and believe there is no other path for you. There will always be someone more talented, more beautiful, better connected, etc., so to gain a competitive edge, get as much training in both (classically trained singers may have more options avail. to them since it trains your voice to sing just about any genre, but any training is better than none). Get as much exposure as possible - busk on the sidewalk, summer stock, post performance videos (if good), network with other performers. Most performers spend years auditioning to build a reputation. Eventually, if you're lucky enough and good enough, someone might give you a break. Don't count on discovery...the odds are billions to one & the years spent training help prepare you for the hard work it takes to make it as a performer.

No, Ringmasters isn't in Step Up 3D.

From a freeze, rotate your body 360o while rotate your waist more until you're back at freeze. If done correctly, you're kind of face-up when you're halfway through the freeze, and you're face-down again on freeze after the windmill.

In 1969 James Brown was doing an almost acrobatic dance in ‘Get on the Good Foot’. All the kids started copying it. By the time the Good Foot became a style of dance, a thing called ‘Dance Battle’ was created. Dancers would go to a place and Battle dance wise. Battling is were two or more dancers do tricks and try to impress the audience. This type of dance gained attention by young men who were very athletic. The Name Good foot was soon changed to B-boy and shortly after that Break Dancing (or breaking). Break Dancing back then is very different to the Break Dancing seen today. There were no Head spins. No Windmill. No Hand glides or Backspins. This is now called old-style Breaking. Old-style breaking only consisted of floor work, this is preformed very fast. It didn’t take long before where were a lot of Break Dancing battles happening. Break Dancing was very popular with the gangs in South Bronx and it was in those streets where breaking really started. The best Breakers in each gang would battle dance wise instead of fighting. They would battle over turf, to show they were better, for respect or because someone stepped on someone’s shoes and even sometimes they would make a contract that the loser can’t go around to the winner’s neighbourhood anymore. Breakers who practiced and performed together were formed into ‘crews’ and started to develop their own dance routines. Some crews would spend hours practicing and developing more and more complex moves, improving their form and increasing their speed. Afrika Bambaataa a legendary master D.J. who is the person most responsible for the successful growth of Break Dancing. In 1969, Afrika Bambaataa saw Break Dancing as more than just dancing. He saw it as a way to achieve something. He saw the potential of Break Dancing, and encouraged the dancers to keep doing it. To work hard, and to believe that if they keep doing it, something good would come of it. Bambaataa then started one of the first Break Dancing crews, the Zulu Kings. The Zulu Kings won a lot of battles and talent shows and preformed in various clubs in New York. At the same time they won a lot of adherents for the Zulu Nation. Old-style breaking remained popular until about 1977. Then around 1979 and the early 1980s a new Break Dancing crew started ‘Rock Steady Crew’. Rock Steady Crew was very talented but a lot of people thought of them being old-fashioned. But Bambataa told them that if they stuck with it, something good would happen. Then they performed many times in different cities and states around the world. People started taking them seriously. Break Dancing was in again. The new-style breaking was different from the old. Rock Steady added a lot of acrobatic moves. Breaking now included Head spins, Back spins, Hand glides, and Windmills. In 1981, Charles Ahearn made his Hip-Hop movie ‘Wild Style’ this movie was about singing, graffiti, scratching, and Break Dancing in the Bronx. Rock Steady was called in to do the breaking of ‘Wild Style’. Breaking and Rock Steady became the finest Break Dancing crew and new-style breaking became even more popular. In 1982 Roxy was a well-established New York roller-staking rink. But the popularity of roller skating began to fade. So Roxy begin to turn the roller-staking rink into a Break Dancing floor on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. The Roxy quickly became the Break Dancing centre were rappers D.J’s and Breakers would perform and hang out. If you wanted to discover, watch or learn some new moves, you would go to Roxy. Roxy started to sponsor Break Dancing contests (which made the winners get more recognition). In June, 1983, Pat Fuji hired professional Jazz dancer Rosanne Hoare to run the Street Arts Consortium, which was a house Break Dancing, rapping, and graffiti art. Rosy not only provided a place where they could feel at home, but she worked with them as a choreographer, helping to extend their dance possibilities. Well that's it in short XD Some people speculate that breakdancing originated from rival gangs in the South Bronx of New York City in the 1970s. They would settle arguments and disagreements by having breakdancing (also called b-boying) contests, where the contestants try to "out-do" each other by doing more complicated and creative moves.

Others think that it originated from gang fights. Ex-gang members would join music groups and bboy. Most parents would approve bboying because it was a positive alternative to gang-related activity.

"S" and "B" are nicknames for the characters Serena and Blair, who are best friends on the CW show Gossip Girl.

The Puerto Rican dance crew, 787 crew members ages' range from 19-31. With Pedro "Mr. P" Aviles being the oldest and their leader. I'm not sure of everyone else's specific age but i know that Mr. P's brother is 29 and Reynaldo "Vendhy" Arroyo is 22. Hope that helped :)

No, popping and locking isn't b-boying. They're types of hip-hop dance, but breakdancing includes toprock, downrock, power moves, freezes, and suicides, while popping and locking involves the fast but choppy movement of turns, twists, etc. with your arms while standing.

break dancing costumes are usually anything with short sleeves and jeans and skate shoes they wear wrist bands and bling. also caps and beanies are common in b-boying or breakdancing

Dance movements, acrobatic movements, martial art movements

No, the airflare takes much strength, balance, and speed. In a handstand, you need to smoothly spin your legs to get your body's momentum spinning, then your arms need to be fast and strong enough to alternate smoothly.

No one knows for certain what the main influences of breakdancing were, but many people have pointed to several possible ones. One of the first influences is traditional African dance which was incorporated into American dance steps. The dance steps of the roaring 20s, for instance, such as the "Charleston", may have been an influence. Others say that the "gangster" culture may have been influences for breakdancing.

Yes, anyone can practice dancing like the JabbaWockeeZ. You'd need to breakdance like them and wear plain white masks and gloves.
