When learning how to perform a break dance there are several specific moves that you need to know how to do. One of the main moves of a break dance is the down rock. This consists of six steps. In order to perform the down rock you must get into the push up position with your legs spread shoulder width apart. Then you must lift your right hand and place your left leg where your right hand has been. If you are not able to place your left in the exact position it is important that you get it as close to it as you can. The next part of the move sounds a little more complicated. Now you have to bring your right leg behind your left knee and bring your right hand up and point it toward the sky. After pointing your hand, you bring your left foot out and bring your hand back down to the floor. This time your back will be facing the floor rather than your stomach. Both of your knees should be bent.



To complete the move you step you right foot in front of your left. Then step your left foot away while you shift your weight onto your right arm and left foot. The move ends when you bring your right foot under your left foot at the same time that you are bringing your left hand back in front of your body so that it ends back on the floor. You should be in the push up position again. The down rock is a complicated set of steps that should be practiced individually before you attempt to put them altogether.

Another major move that is performed in break dancing is the freeze. This is where the dancers actually stop moving for a short period of time. There are difference ways to perform a freeze move during the dance. An example of a freeze move in a break dance is outlined below. Kneel with one knee on the floor and one up. Put your left elbow on the side of the raised knee and your right elbow on your hip. Carefully roll on your hands, your weight should be shifted from your feet to your hands and you should be able to balance yourself on your hands while your feet are off the floor.

If anyone has watched a break dance performance they will remember seeing one move that is known worldwide and that is the worm. The worm requires that the dancer be flexible. To perform the worm, you start in the push up position but your body is flat on the floor rather than rose. With you arms, push you feet off the floor as hard and high as you can. As r legs begin to fall back down to the floor, lift your abs and roll up all the way to your chest. This motion should be repeated as quickly as you can do it. It is supposed to resemble the motion of a worm that is inching along the ground.
