Upper Body Stretching for Break Dancing

Video Transcript

Hi, my name is Austin McBride here with Expert Village, and I am going to show you how to break dance, and the first key in break dance is stretching. Stretching is going to help us to avoid injury and to pretty much allow us to accomplish some of these maneuvers. Without our limbs being limber, it is going to be difficult for us to accomplish some of these things. Start with some upper body stretching. First I like to pull my arm across and hold it, reverse and do it for both arms. Obviously I'm just going to keep things short for the sake of time but try and hold each of these stretches for about ten seconds and repeat them two or three times each. Next I would stretch out your back and your lumbar system by reaching for the sky and then pulling down to the ground, kind of getting your back and upper body loosened. Next I would stand in one place, keeping your legs a little bit in an athletic stance somewhat and just twirl your arms around until your upper body is feeling loose. These are a few ways to get your upper body ready for some break dancing.
