Ian Stewart 0 Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Why does everyone assume that break dancing started with Hip Hop, back in the early 70's dancers were poping, spinning on their heads etc at place like the Wigan Casino, to Northern Soul so Soul Music is the basis of everything good http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/1106.gif Mobile Party DJ For Weddings Parties Corporate Events Covering London Essex Kent Sussex Surrey Bucckinghamshire Hertfordshire & Essex Link to post Share on other sites

Smooth Criminal Ross 0 Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 QUOTE (kazzachi @ Oct 21 2003, 04:41 PM) what else sin! point slide was the instructions for moonwalking! You should see me doing a full head spin! are u serious? Can u do it? i think ur better off watching my signature but seriously now That has to be the crappest instructions to Moonwalk, its very easy anyway. Ian Stewart, i dont think it was soul that started Break Dancing. I mean sure in 1974 the Jacksons were doing the robot at the Soul train awards, but breakdancing, is the term used for the dancers doing moves in the break of the beat. this is all from research, and as a breakdancer myself. I mean, umay think that, breakdancing is all spinning on heads, well thats one way. The Moonwalk, which i can do, the deffinition is, a comibnation of break-dance and body-popping where the dancer appears to slide backwards while taking a step forwards. There is also the sidewalk, Moonwalk in a sqaure, moonwalk on the spot, sidewalk in a square(havent mastered that yet!) Robot, which is awesome, and body-popping. Id like to be able to do the spinning, but i think, one Moonwalk and ive pulled. I used to do the caterpillar, but i aint done it in 4 yrs, so i dont attempt to anymore, plus the moonwalk is SO much cooler!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Even Trevor nelson commented on that this is where the style of dancing started Mobile Party DJ For Weddings Parties Corporate Events Covering London Essex Kent Sussex Surrey Bucckinghamshire Hertfordshire & Essex Link to post Share on other sites
kazzachi 0 Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 (edited) Smooth criminal ross! Point slide, point slide - the words from a world famous choreographer to ensure that the dynamics of moonwalking were given a simple explanation! What do you do with your feet when you moonwalk then - pointing and sliding are the basic steps of moonwalking! Quite often the simplest explanations are the easiest to follow! I totally agree with ian on the wigan front too! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Can I just say that Michael Jackson is not the be all and end all.. hes had his day, and its time to move on... yes he did do some brill stuff - this is a dj forum not the MJ appreciation society! SCR - we are here to debate and we all have our opinions - perhaps when aiming comments at extremely highly regarded members such as Ian it should be done with a little more respect. I would urge you to think before you post - before telling members that some of their statements are crap!

paula 0 Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 QUOTE Ian Stewart, i dont think it was soul that started Break Dancing Breakdancing started in 1969. That was the year that James Brown recorded "Get on the Good Foot," a song that inspired an acrobatic dance based on the high energy moves that Brown performed on stage. say no more! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/sleep1.gif Link to post Share on other sites
