Windmill help, please

I am trying to keep spinning when I get on my stomach but I keep getting stuck and when I try to kick my hips up higher during the transition, I just fall back onto my elbow after and can't keep spinning.

Would like to start breaking - absolute day 0 beginner tips?

Hey! I’m from Northern Ireland, UK, where I’ve neither heard nor seen anything about breaking before. I’ve always been fascinated by videos online and think that it all looks so cool but I have honestly no idea where to even start. I feel like i’m a pretty bad dancer in general, but i’m a drummer so I do have rhythm. Does anybody have tips on how to start, beginner moves/stretches beforehand, and/or any tutorial video recommendations?

Thank you 👊

Had a breaking show in a box ring today

It was a boxing event with 600 spectators. I was actually slightly injured but it turned out ok I would say.

The other guys were absolutely crazy. I will post a video if I get one.

Building a simple Breaking Event Calendar – Would you use this?

Hi everyone,
I work in IT and love breaking. I enjoy watching battles on YouTube or going to events,but I often find it hard to track when and where events are happening.

I am trying to build a simple and fast breaking event calendar called breakingfinder.com.
With AI, I could build this pretty easily.
Right now, I have auto-scraping for WDSF battles. I also have a feature can generate event data just by pasting an Instagram post or official website URL. (It’s not perfect.. but at least it works 😂)

I see many new services coming out lately, like and8.dance globally, or dancecode.kr and hypetown in Korea. It seems like more people want these tools. I want to make something that truly solve the problems, not just a personal project, and coding playground🤖.

I would love your direct feedback on my project:
👉https://www.breakingfinder.com

  1. What do you think about this idea? Is it something you would use?
  2. What is the hardest part about finding event info right now?
  3. Any other Ideas

?

Thanks in advance

Peace. ✌️

Last training session 🙌

I’m feeling really heavy haha
That’s just makes my sets shorts and my footwork heavy ..
I love when people do that explosive or flying footwork, that sometimes even looks like power.
Any tips to get to this level?
I’ll have to work on my body fat too

"In the Beginning..." - Animated Toronto Hip hop video featuring Maestro Fresh Wes & Saukrates

"In the Beginning..." is now live! Featuring Maestro Fresh Wes & Saukrates. 

Can we ask for a moment of your attention?

How familiar are you with breaking? Maybe a little bit, maybe a lot?

However much you know… this is just the beginning.  

A Canadian component to this foundational element of hip hop comes to life through the voice of Maestro Fresh Wes and Saukrates paired with the animation of Robb Clarke.

This is a snapshot of a story centered around Bag of Trix, and their journey to international acclaim.

How can I learn the windmill as a 40 y.o.?

Hi.

I want to be able to do a windmill - in no hurry, mind you. But if I could do windmills in say in a year's time, I'd love that.

I joined a beginner dance class that teaches Commercial dance. I dunno if thats a common term or not, but its a very music video style of dance. I'm going once a week and its been a month and its going well.

I'm play sports 4-5 times a week so while I'm not particularly athletic, I'm not completely unfit. But I'm definitely not flexible in the hips.

So yeah. How do you suggest I do this?

How do y'all not get dizzy??

Ive been training windmills and can only try them for like 20 minutes before I get a horrible headache and have to stop! Hard to make progress when I have to take ten million breaks so my head doesn't explode. Does it eventually get better? Any tips?

Is cyphering just battle practice now? Why and when do you ACTUALLY get down?

Peace everyone. I’ve been researching dance culture recently, and I get the feeling that a lot of dancers nowadays only hit the cypher to prep for upcoming battles or test out new blow-ups/dynamics.

Would love to hear what goes through your mind before you decide to step into the circle.

Is it unwise to be training crickets to jacks before learning windmill?

My elbow lever/stab strength is pretty solid and ive been making decent progress on crickets since i HATE training the windmill it just feels so uncomfortable and painful i literally dread it

If i learn crickets and even jackhammers before windmills will that cause any issues? Or will it benefit learning mills?

Having to rotate onto my back and get my hips and legs so high just feels so janky since im 6’1 ive been procrastinating

How long did it take you to learn to 1990s/2000s and what did you wish you did sooner to shave off time it took you to learn them?

Having 2000s like Wing is my dream move

How did you guys improve wrist stability?

I’m having a ton of trouble using my inner knuckles without my wrist collapsing when learning simple moves like the coffee grinder.
