More Breakdancing Selections

Image and text source: Youtube

Breakdancing has changed drastically since it began in the late seventies and early eighties. Today, dancers focus on keeping the body off the floor, specializing on moves that involve quick shifts from feet to hands to elbows directly to the head. Upper body strength is crucial as the torso and back touch the floor only ocassionally. This was not the case in the early days of breakdancing, when breakers would focus on combinations that would culminate in back to head generic celexa routines, complemented by shuffling of feet as foreplay. Below are some selections from Youtube that I find are good examples of the recent style. Contrast them to my previous selections.
