What Our Readers Say
"I started as a complete beginner at Gravity Defyers six months ago. The instructors break down moves in a way that's easy to understand, and the community is so supportive. I never thought I'd be able to do a windmill, but here I am!"
"The Cypher Spot keeps it real. You're not just learning moves; you're learning the history and culture. The Friday night cyphers have improved my freestyle game tremendously."
Getting Started Tips
If you're new to breakdancing, here's what you need to know:
- Start with the basics: top rock, footwork, freezes, and simple power moves
- Don't compare your beginning to someone else's decade of experience
- Invest in comfortable clothing that allows movement but isn't too baggy
- Be consistent—showing up regularly is more important than marathon sessions
- Most studios offer trial classes—try a few to find the right fit
- Don't skip warm-ups and conditioning—breaking is physically demanding
