There's some people who who breakdance too, so I guess I'm gonna make a page about breakdancing and all that jazz. First of all, the first thing people think about breakdancing, even beginners, is that all you do is jump around doing fancy tricks and handstands and spinning on the floor. Breakdancing is a misunderstood form of art much like graffiti, two of the four elements of hip hop. Breakdance isn't about the fancy tricks. It's all about the dance. Anyone can do a handstand and a flare (derived from gymnastics) and call it "breakdancing". But it's all about flavor and style, and to individually express yourself as a bboy/bgirl. There are two types of breakdancing: Power and Style. Powerheads prefer using all those fancy handstands, strong tricks and a stronger body to create combination moves. Styleheads prefer to use more of their own style and head towards abstract moves. Top/Uprocks are best seen with styleheads because it's a breakdance all on its own. The term Toprock and Uprock is what a breakdancer does first, it's how they create their individual style and draws in a crowd before you start doing downrocks.  Downrocking is when you finish toprocking and get down on the floor and start doing six-steps and all those different moves like mills, flares, freezes, etc. Posing is usually the last thing the breakdancer does.
