I’ve been doing it for a 3 months and my body still isn’t used to it specifically my legs when I try to do 6 step

My 12 year old is a bgirl and powermoves are not her forte. I wish to show her some inspirational figures who made it even without heavy reliance on power.

She looses confidence when an opponent does strong powermoves. I want her not be disappointed and keep believing in herself despite any shortcomings and keep working with toprock and footwork, which she loves.

I'd also read a story about a bboy/bgirl who had an injury and couldn't perform power as much and won redbull mainly with footwork/top rock. If someone can share their name, would really appreciate it.

Okay, so I'm honestly curious: I know the C-walk is very much a thing as a hip-hop step, right? I ALSO know that it originated from a gang, right?

I've actually seen a couple of videos (that seem to have NO RELATION to the Crip gang at all, they're just dance-teachers on YouTube and such) around on showing how to do the walk and as it looks like a pretty cool step, I've been thinking about learning it. BUT, after a buddy of mine said that apparently you can get in trouble or worse if the wrong people (people IN a gang) catch you doing it, I'm worried about even trying to learn it. On the other hand, I know it's also just a pretty popular move all around, Snoop Dogg himself even used it too at the Super Bowl IIRC...

So I guess my main question is: as a white guy living in the midwest, where the ONLY place I break right now is with my breakdance group on-campus (and at events with them occasionally as well), and as someone VERY MUCH not associated with the Crip at all.. am I even okay to learn the C-walk?

Would really appreciate hearing some more about this.

Hey Bboys i'm a beginner and I have been on my bboy journey for a little. My ankle mobility has been a huge issue. in position 0 or position 1 as some bboys call it I cannot sit down onto my heels. Specifically my knees really hurt and feel stiff and hurt when I try to Can anyone tell me if that's necessary or what I should do to improve me knee over toe ankle mobility! Thank you. (not me in the photo by the way its an example)

Is there a way to strengthen hands, wrists, and forearms effectively? I've been doing wrist curls and some hand stretches but aside from that, I'm not too sure.

Secondly, I'll be participating in a local bboy competition next week. For some of the stages (2 of them), we have to choose our own music to break to. So far I have 3 songs: Umi Says - Mos Def, Rigamortus - Kendrick Lamar, and Headlines - DJ Premier.

I need to narrow it down to 2 and would like suggestion about that. Right now, I'm still big on toprock (doing it for about 3 months now) and just know the literal beginner basics of downrocks (not much of it).

I appreciate any advice. Thanks

Does anyone here have an interesting day job or know of breakers that have interesting jobs? Like lawyer by day, breaker by night/weekends? I always thought it was interesting to think about ppl I see everyday having these dope skills and no one really knows.

What happened to Team Shmetta from Belgium? Bboys like Hurricane Ray and Sambo?

does anyone know about that?

I wanna know who yall have to win.

I also wanna know who are some bboys who should be at the world stage that wasn’t invited/just missed out in their regional cyphers. (Bboy Haruto should’ve been invited imo)

What do yall think of this year’s current lineup?

Those who don’t know is a windmill variant I’ve only seen Bboy Wing do.
