phuturephunk Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 ....Just buy the movie "The freshest kids: A history of the B-boy" , its all about the history of breaking, lockin, uprock and the like... You should really also try to find some crews around New York and just watch them..Dance like that can't really be 'taught' so to speak IMO..you gotta feel the beat and just move your natural way to it.. I dunno, I seem to be a natural at stuff like that tho (Poppin and lockin), so school may be right up your alley.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivehadit Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 since phonk is 'a natural' at popping. locking, phonking, rimming and stuff, I'd just ask him to teach you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuturephunk Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Originally posted by fineones thats all u kidd..poppin and lockin ....awesome...Seriously though, I'd try to find some b-boy stuff thats going on around the city, the best thing to do is to watch how others move... GlowgirlNYC would be able to shed ALOT more light on this than I would, you should send her a PM.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANCEdeep Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Breakdancin'... Originally posted by fineones anyone here know of any breakdancin' schools located in NYC, or Queens??? free or pay doesnt matter...i recall there used to be one by FAO schwartz another on union tpke in queens... however i dont fully remember where they are... don't take any offense to this, i'm just being honest---why don't you just type in "breakdance classes" in a search engine? You'll find plenty of places in the NY metro area and even suburban areas, whatever is more convenient. There's a few places in BROOKLYN that def. have breakdance classes.yo phuturephunk, i agree w/having your personal style or flava when it comes to dancing...to ME that's what's it's all about--I like to feel the music and do my own thing. The oldskool b-boys and b-girls didn't go to classes, instead they just headed to the streets b/c it was around. But now we f-take classes for everything. fineones, if you want to get all hardcore and shit w/this and be awesome, I'd most def. go to class. One of my friends on the west coast is AWEEEE-SOME at breakdancing b/c he worked w/a crew of some of the best kids that headed a school. Work on your upper-body, because arm/chest/upper strength is key, need a lot of power there for head spins, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happykittn Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Kujo/Jacob's my best friend here in Cali. He took me in when I arrived on the West coast back in June, an East coast transplant with 2 suitcases and $500...If you like alternative dance, check out the Detours Video.Ken Swift, Crazy Legs, etc. all reside in New York. If you hit me up, I can give you the contact info of bboys/bgirls in/about the city. Brexx Kru, Problems Kru, Floorlords, etc.I would suggest checking out this board, and if you're interested in buying videos, you can go here:FreestyleSession Store I would highly recommend checking out Crumbs: BRAINSTORM (coming out on DVD soon), as well as anything by Style Elements (SEC). My boyfriend and his brother will have their own video out soon, I'll keep you updated if you're interested. Tentatively entitled, "THE INFAMOUS FLAVE AND RUEN" with raw battle footage, etc.Peace,~kitten >^.^< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
