I Wish I Could Have Done More (Blog 4)

After last week's burst of new moves I learned, I was pretty disappointed about my progress this week. While I spent much of my time RESEARCHING potential moves to learn, I didn't put much time into actually PERFORMING them. Welp I tried my best, and this is what I got:

Three Step

I put a lot of time and research into understanding all the different steps that could be done on the floor. For example, after looking at many tutorials from this dope dude on YouTube named VincaniTV, I got a basic understanding of the 2-step, 3-step, 4-step, 6-step, 7-step, 8-step, and 12-step. Notice how I said basic understanding because I have no time whatsoever to learn all of these. What really interested me was that all these footwork steps were really just variations of the fundamental six-step. If you do not know what the six-step looks like, you gotta check out my previous blog. According to that logic, it means that the three step should be pretty simple for me to learn right? Wrong. It is so much harder than the six step its actually crazy. This is because the less steps there are, the more you need to swing your body in each of those steps. So yes my three step looks ugly but I'll perfect it.

Knee Drop/ Pin Drop

This move is classified as a "Go Down" or transition move from your standing moves to your footwork. I think I put a little "twist" on it. In fact I legit just added a twist to it. See, this move is supposed to get you done to the ground where you can start your footwork, but there is a variation where you twist right back up, and I think it looks pretty dope. I learned this from another homedawg on YouTube called MihranTV. These people really like to put TV at the end of their names lol.

To get into the pin drop, I started with a pretty simple Top-Rock move called the salsa step and dropped from there. You can really start the pin drop from any standing position though, so it is pretty easy to flow with.

Future Goals

There is still a lot on my plate that I want to get through for my breakdancing experience. First off, I just want to perfect the moves that I have just learned. Then I will try to perform a few more footwork moves such as the 2 step and 4 step. It wouldn't hurt to learn a new freeze as well such as the shoulder freeze or maybe the headstand. What I find most important though, is learning at least ONE power move. Power moves such as the windmill or flares. Yes these are insanely hard and will most probably hurt, but I am willing to withstand that pain. I didn't do much dancing this week, but maybe it was for the best. I feel much less sore, and am ready to start the next week with enthusiasm.
