This absolute beginner breaking (break dance) workshop was created as a prequel to your first beginner breaking class or course.
Workshop structure
This workshop has three video sections and two comprehension exercises. Each video is designed as a “follow along” lesson. Concepts and skills are firstly discussed in detail, then you are provided with a condensed summary version of the lesson. The components of this course are:
-A detailed and condensed breaking specific warm up.
-Detailed explanations and condensed drills of select breaking steps that are scalable and are accessible to the absolute beginner.
-Hip Hop compression exercises for you to understand the context of breaking.
-Routines for you to understand how to use the steps you’ve just learnt.
Zero experience needed
This course is also designed for those with absolutely no background in dance or gymnastics. The pace of this workshop is relatively slow and thorough explanations have been included to clarify some of the important details that could easily be missed.
Safe movements for the adult body
These details are also important for safety because as adults, our bodies have accumulated habits and pockets of tension that impact our ability to move. Thus we need to be more deliberate with our physical practices especially when we are learning a new skill.
Breaking is fun
Breaking originated as a party dance, although it is now an Olympic sport it still has a playful overtone. The movements learnt within this workshop will allow you to enjoy the feeling of embodying the music, providing you with a new vocabulary of physical expression. The routines within the workshop are purely for you- for your own private enjoyment or for showing off on the dance floor.
Breaking within the culture of Hip Hop
To pay homage to breaking as part of the broader culture of Hip Hop, this workshop includes two simple hip hop knowledge sections so that you understand the landscape in which breaking was born.
I hope you try something completely new,
I hope you get curiously uncomfortable
and I hope you have a lot of fun embracing this art form.
Who this course is for:
- Those looking to pursue an unfamiliar whole body physical activity that lends itself to creative expression.
- Those who are curious to explore the art of breaking and would like to do so in a safe, slow and structured environment.
- Someone looking for more detailed and carefully structured progressions of breaking for the adult body.
