>There has always been questions about what's the best

>useful advice, and hopefully maybe a lot of these
>style of questions will be answered.
>
>First off. How to get into breakdance.
>======================================
>If your going to want to get into breakdancing, make
>sure you get into it for the right reasons, being that
>YOU want to break, not just because everyone else is
>or to impress someone, do it on your own terms, and
>make sure you have patience to stick with it. Breaking
>takes a lot of time and energy to get good at. It also
>requires you to be reasonably fit, have good
>coordination, balance, and flexibility. Not everyone
>has the body type or traits for breakdancing, and
>you'll usually figure this out within the first month
>of breaking. If your not developing, and are caught up
>on moves all the time you may not have what it takes,
>or maybe your slow :P .
>
>2nd. Practicing and Learning.
>===========================
>For some reason people think that there is some EASY
>way to learn quickly and become right away, fact is
>there isn't. But there are some key things to ensure
>you're going to be doing the best you can. Stretching
>is very important, I recommend stretching at least 45
>minutes of a day, even if you don't break that day,
>and make sure to stretch and warm up before you break,
>it promotes good circulation and less injuries. and
>have a oool down period afterwards, just like any
>other physical activity. It's also good to not over
>exert yourself either. Breaking is a very tiring
>activity, and shouldn't be overdone, it can lead to
>exhaustion, strains and cramps. Take it easy. drink
>plenty of water and make sure you are eating right.
>When it comes to getting down to breaking and learning
>moves, the best way to learn is through assimilation.
>Break with people of various degrees of skills if
>possible, they'll be willing to teach you some moves,
>and if not you can bite them and try em yourself :P.
>and anyone at your skill level, you can have a
>friendly battle. and anyone lower then your skill
>level you can teach to help improve confidence. Make
>sure you compete in any circles, battles, ect, it
>really helps a lot. Also try to view a lot of
>breaking. If you don't have much braking in your area,
>the best bet is video. Video usually gives instruction
>while showing you what to do. Despite what people may
>say the worst way of learning to break is reading
>instructions. Even diagrams are kinda useless.
>
>3. Furthuring the Technique
>===========================
>Advancing your moves will always take time. So don't
>get frustrated. Just becasue you don't get a move
>right away don't get discouraged. Keep trying, and if
>you can't get it, you might want to try a new move.
>Also when breaking, make sure to develop your own
>sense of style and technique. Create your own moves
>and most of all, make sure you have fun.
