Absolutely adore this app, a MUST if you truly want to learn breaking!
I promised myself I’d write a review after a couple months to know for sure how I felt about this app. I’ve got to say, I love and loved this app! I was looking for some straight cut-to the-chase tutorials on break dancing that aren’t cluttered, inconsistent like on YouTube, have a clear progression and by real professionals, because I always thought learning would be fun. And it was! And is!! I’m so happy I found this app. I went from an absolute beginner to advanced. I was totally addicted to it, and loved every single lesson. I always looked forward to the next one! I stuck with this app for about 6-7 months! The instructions are clear, the videos are great (not just instruction but they give you history lessons too! Which I found fascinating) the instructors are passionate and great at explaining (they’re awesome!), and it’s an affordable price. I will say I enjoyed that there were both genders teaching which is comforting knowing it’s a male dominated sport (I’m a female, so it’s encouraging to see female break dancers aka bgirls). Theres also lessons on “popping” but I didn’t get to that. I was a bit sad they were thinking of offering modern dance as that’s an interest of mine as well, but they dropped that project. Anyways, there’s different levels (hence the name), and I got all the way to advanced but didn’t do every single video (not into head spins as my head is too sensitive lol). But I will say, even “beginner level” is intense. I say this in the way of mobility. I’m a trained athlete who has background in all sorts of sports so it’s not difficult for me to pick up new concepts and apply them, nor does it strain my body as much as say someone who isn’t trained. Let me tell you, break dancing will make you “break” a sweat. It’s physically demanding. While the movements at first may seem “easy” to do, doing them in a clean, fast, and rhythmic progression is not for the faint of heart lol especially for an unfit person. It also requires balance, and lastly style and improvise. It will test your physical and mental abilities at once. My knees hurt for a while at first because I was so unconditioned to getting down and having the right “zero position” at first. I had some weeks I couldn’t break dance due to lack of energy (too much dance lol) or even stomachaches (I wasn’t great at timing food and dance.) You definitely will get in shape if you aren’t though with break dancing! If you’re a newbie out there, definitely take your time mastering the s
