Do a Flare, Windmill, or 2 Step in Breakdancing

Learning how to break dance requires time, effort and a lot of practice. For those who have no rhythm, open is not lost! Use this article guide to learn how to do a flare, windmill or 2-step in break-dancing.

Steps

  1. Swing underneath. Your legs should look like a "V" in front of you now. Now both of your hands are behind you and at this point you're leaning back. Swing your right leg hard up and let your left leg swing underneath, your right hand should be off the ground too. Now swing your legs up as hard as you can behind you and put your right hand back where it was and lean forward, and repeat.
  2. Practice windmills. It's all about leverage. For a beginner, start on your butt. Swing your right leg to the right and then in a large circle back towards the left. Pull with this leg, while throwing your right leg to the left in one way shape or form performing 2 dance moves to return to the initial position, such as a step, then a coffee grinder (leg swipe).
  3. Start doing this on grass or on mats. Most people jump forward, but you need to jump up tuck your knees into your stomach and swing forward.



Tips

  • Be strong, practice, and be careful.
  • Stretch, warm up your muscles before attempting any power moves.
  • Placing your hands close together at the back would help in the flare.

Warnings

  • Stop if it hurts. That means you're doing it wrong, or you are not ready to be doing that many consecutive moves yet. You also risk further injury if you keep persisting. Take a rest, and remember to always stretch before doing any move.
  • You can get nasty bruises all over if you don't lean clean on your back in windmill rotations, not to mention bash your tailbone during flares. Be careful not to go on your head out of a windmill by accident, seeing as that may be too advanced for you. Plus, if your neck is underdeveloped, it will definitely hurt.
