B-Girl Moves

If you’re here because you read my article in Zamoof!, welcome! In fact, welcome everyone.

My b-girl friends MaeHem, Jennrock, Psyche, Blazin’ & Renewable Energy got together to help me show some of the b-girl moves you’ve read about:

• Psyche & Jennrock show off their top rocks:
  
   
  
• Chrisa, AKA Renewable Energy demonstrates a six step– a foundation of FootWork:
  
• MaeHem rolls effortlessly into a Chair Freeze:
  
• Blazin’ kicks up into an L-Kick freeze:
  
• Jennrock shows off a headstand freeze:
  

And here are some more of my favourites from around the net:

• A b-girl demonstrates footwork, windmills, and a backspin during a battle:
  
• A “breakdance queen” shows off a mean headspin:
  
• A young b-girl Simi drops some toprock and a handstand freeze in a cypher (a circle of breakers and onlookers)
  

I’m collecting new videos all the time. You can see them on my YouTube Channel before I add them here.

If you’re inspired by what you see here and you’d like to give it a try in a safe environment, look for a class at a respected street dance or hip hop dance studio in your area. Two of my favourites are Street Dance Academy in Toronto, and Studio Sweatshop in Montreal, and the Culture Shock Dance Center in San Diego.
