Swipes Breakdancing Moves

Video Transcript

O.K., so the last move that we're going to do on these power moves is your "swipes". Now I teach "swipes" a little bit different from everybody. A lot of people you're probably going to end up teaching "swipes" to will be different, but I like to go through this area because it helps you down on the ground. Now, I kind of got this move from watching Salt 'N Peppa video "Push It" from way back in the day when I was a kid, just to give you a little bit of history from where I saw this at and everything like that. What you want to do is, you want to make sure that you are putting both hands back on the ground. So, I'm going to start you back from here. Now, you want to make sure that your legs are not pushed together but somewhat together when you're doing this move. And your arm that you're going to jump to or the side that you are going to jump to is going to be the side that you angle your back into. Remember "swipes" go into a circle they don't go in a "y". So you have to reach back behind you and back around into a circle. So, remember what you need to be doing with your body. Kay? So, you are going to start here and what you're going to do is, you're going to make sure, it's going to be a domino effect. So as I swing my left arm here, my right arm is going to follow it over. What's going to happen next, my legs are going to jump back around and I should come back in the same place that I actually was just in. So, that's your first start on your "swipe" and back around. Kay? Next again, same exact thing. Left hand, right hand. As you can see already I'm at an angle right now. So that means my next jump is probably going to be back over to this corner here because that's where I want to go to make my circle. My legs, bang, and I'm back over to this part of the angle now. Kay? Depending on how high you want to go, some of them they call "baby swipes", "regular swipes", "high swipes", "low leg swipes"; that's done with one leg. Or you can do your "sky swipes" which is your jumping ones. Kay? So again, you're going up. Left hand, right hand, over, jump. As you can see I'm not facing you anymore. This is my third angle here. Left hand, right hand. So, I'm going to jump here now to this corner here. Jump and I'm here. Left hand, right hand, jump, back around. Kay? So, putting all of those together; now you see what I was doing very slowly. Now we're going to try them pretty fast now. So now we're going to go, same exact thing. Hop. Hop. Hop. Hop and we're back, back to you. Hope you got that today. Hope everything turns out well. We're going to go through it as a little session now. Try to put all those things together for you.
