The 6 moves are a fundamental movement in breakdance as they give you a good momentum and put you in a position to make other, more complicated moves. You use your arms to hold your body as your legs move in a circle. This article will explain 2 methods to do the 6 moves, point by point.
Steps
Step 1. While bent forward, bring your right leg forward and extend it in front of your left leg
Don't move your left leg yet. Lean out of your right shoe. Put your left hand on the ground.
Step 2. Bring your left leg forward until it is bent and is touching the back of your right leg (the right leg should now be around your left leg)
Now you should be at least somewhat cross-legged. Leave your left hand in the air.
Step 3. Get in the crab position
Take your right leg away from the left one. Place your right foot next to your left foot (same length as between shoulder and shoulder). Put your left hand on the ground behind you.
Step 4. Put your left leg around and in front of your bent right leg (wrap it around your right leg)
Lean out of your left shoe. Raise your right hand. It is the same position you did in step 2, in reverse.
Step 5. Bring your right leg behind you
This is the same position as in step 1, in reverse. Raise your right hand.
Step 6. Extend your left leg back and put your right hand down, leaning back forward
Method 1 of 1: Variation
Step 1. Do as we just described except that instead of getting into the crab position, you just put your right hand on the ground behind you (not both)
When you move on to the next step, you will quickly switch hands (take your right hand off the ground and put your left hand down as you move your legs).
Advice
- Stay light on your feet. Keep most of the weight on your arms.
- Once you have mastered it, try doing it counterclockwise.
