BBOY STYLES

BBOY STYLES

The Bboy classes have been segmented into four types of classes as described below. The main purpose is for the instructor to focus on delivering the required teaching material effectively. Beginner students are advised to join in the footwork and toprock classes for a at least two months before progressing on to the more physically challenging classes such as freezes and spins. It is important to develop their rhythmic side of the dance first before embarking on the stunts and flashy moves.

TOPROCK

The most ideal for beginners, this class focuses on teaching the individual how to dance first. As the name suggest, top rocking means to dance in a standing position and it is important for all boys to learn the basic fusion between music and movement first before getting down to a blow up or floor move. This class is also ideal for dancers who started out with power moves but did less dancing.

FOOTWORK

The most important of Bboy foundations is the footwork. It identifies the dancer as a true and original bboy. This class works on the technical accuracy and near perfection of each basic footwork technique notably the six step and its commonly used derivatives and variations. The class aims to teach the student to be able to use the foundation techniques with the beat and to help them develop their own style.

FREEZES

The freeze class concentrates more on the physical aesthetics of the bboy style, teaching the five basic balance/freeze positions which are the head; chair, shoulder elbow and hand stand, allowing the student to have a strong base for developing more advanced and signature freezes or freeze combinations.

FLOOR SPINS

This class concentrates on the other power segment of the dance, which is floor spins such as windmills, swipes, flares, halos, air flares, nineties, headspins and so on. This class is suitable for individuals who have done a few months in the footwork, toprock and freezes class.
