Break Dancing
The rap music, break dancing, DJ and the graphics - this is the
hip hop culture. The break dancing is a real obsession. Not just
to these, who dance every day, but also to these, who come just
to watch and admire. When there is a battle the people who comes
are double than when it`s just a practice. That`s said the boys
I spoke to ten minutes ago. Generally speaking, the break
dancing is a teen sport and every teenager can go and start
practices if he is interested in that.
Not that there weren`t eight years old boys who tried training,
but they quit very fast than the teenagers who were practicing.
The best break dancers say that there is an opportunity to quit
after the first couple weeks. Because of the level of difficulty
of the separated elements, some people just take off. The
terminology known as "the moon walk", helicopter or even "horse
mane" doesn`t mean anything for a person who is not interested
in that sport, bur for break dancers these are the most familiar
words. These tricks are very difficult even after three months
practices, even the "spiders" which are very important in the
break dancing culture, can make someone to leave the stage if he
doesn`t have the wanted motivation. It`s important to know that
after each practice you have so many bruises that you will wish
to be dead. The real enthusiasts, though, don`t even think of
taking off and don`t miss any opportunity to dance. Despite of
what all think this isn`t a male sport. Many girls come and want
to try break dancing.
According to their character, they choose either the smurfing or
the land dancing, but most often the smurfing. This might be
because of the plastic moves, which are requested in that type
of break dancing. The practices are one thing, but the battles
are totally different thing. Probably, because of the plastic
and the high level of moving, which you should have when you
break dance. The battles are passion for good break dancers. If
there are complicated acrobatic movements and frequentative
rotations accompanying with audio system rhythms, this is surely
a battle and it has even a great DJ. Since his part is very
important, the choice of the man is very hard and takes time.
The DJ must be really into this kind of dancing so he could pick
out the most suitable music. As the graphics are as important as
the dancing and music there are professionals in this type of
work.
The battle is organized by a team. This team decides if there is
a special selection or if they have to invite formations. The
team parts depend on the regulation and most often they are four
or six. The judges watch every move, one of which is the "air
flair" - that means rotation with jump from hand to hand. "The
most complicated thing is the connections between the
movements", said the greatest break dancers.
