Of course, you should not try to imitate moves that the professional dancers do. It is very hard. But let me remind you of this; pick one of your favorite dancers, and whenever you dance, think of him/her and imagine yourself as if you are him/her. Let him/her be your invisible teacher!
Even though you might think that you look bad in front of other people, there’s always something satisfying after the hard work right? Ignore the others, just practice and freestyle with your friends, and who knows? Maybe you and your friends can be the world-best dancing group in the future.
Never say never. Tell yourself, You can do it man! You’re just either too scared to show off or too lazy to practice! Of course I can do it! I’ll get the moves down and show them who I am. That’s right!
There are lots of different moves for breakdancing. Remember, you can learn any one of the moves, and transform it into your own style.
If you do not have natural skills and didn’t even know about popping when you were a kid, it will require a lot of practice, for popping is literally popping your body on beats. It will either look good with the music or make the audience want to just leave you.
When you have free time, practice anywhere around your house. As you walk around, do some moves, keep doing them, keep practicing, because if you practice certain moves a lot, it will become natural.
