Corkscrew Breakdancing Moves

So, the next move I'm going to move into now is the corkscrew. If anybody at home knows about the corkscrew you no that's moving into the wine bottle, so kids at home I don't really think you should know about this right now, so this is strictly for the adults right now. So, what we are going move into like I said is going to be, just like I said, having you use it to move down into a wine bottle or anything like that. You know, and then you?re going to pop it out. So, what you want to do is start getting the body set. Now, what you?re going to start with first is your right over left, whatever side you actually want to start on is ok as long as you get the right space in between. Like I was saying you can bring your arm through and if you can touch your shoulder you have enough space to allow your body to turn. If you have your leg up here where it's closer more to your left foot and your going into a stretch it probably 9 times out of 10 it won't spin you as good as you want to be spinning. Make sure, again, you have that spacing. We're going to start with arms swinging again like I said cause you always want to have your arms swinging back and forth when ever you?re dancing. What you?re going to do now is your going to start spinning down into corkscrew into that wine bottle now. What you want start doing is now is it rise your wine bottle as you go down. It gets kind of tricky right here so don't get discourage when you get to this part. The left leg is going to fall down and naturally the right leg is going to come up as you can see this is what you should try in look like right now. Your left leg should be under you and your right knee should be up and it should be sticking up, your right knee cap. Some of your right now your going to probably be sitting at home your probably like this in a Indian position, your probably sitting back more like this and it probably didn't work out for you. So, again you want to make sure your up on the tip of your toes and remember, I said and I haven't forgotten I haven't told you anything differently that you need to be on the tip of your toes whenever you?re dancing. So, for most people this is how you?re going to end up. When you?re an expert or anything like that for today right now if you?re a beginner don't worry about it so much. Just try to go through the techniques and back around, just like we did with the knee drop and your back to where you?re standing again. So, one more time. I'm going to try in show your from the front. Again, right over left spinning down, at part make sure you?re always spinning down whenever you?re spinning. Left knee comes down, to your right knee being up. This should be your posture and your back should be straight. Spin back out and back around back to where you were standing again. There you go there is your corkscrew as you go down right there.
