-: Hello, everybody.
My name is Florentino Francisco.
I go by the name of Flow Funk from the Massive Monkees.
Today we're gonna learn some breaking.
In this lesson, we're gonna learn some top rocks,
we're gonna learn some drops, footwork, and freeze.
The first one is a two step.
Next one is a drop.
The drop is a spin down.
Footwork move is going to be kick outs
and the last one is gonna be the freeze.
We're gonna do a low chair freeze.
Top rock, drop, footwork, and freeze.
The first one, make sure you have enough space.
If you've got to move some furniture over,
please speak to your grown ups.
Ask them to help you move some stuff around
because we're gonna be doing some moves
on the floor as well too.
From here, make sure you have enough space.
Look around you.
Then from here, we're gonna start off with the top rock.
From here, it looks like this.
It goes one two, one two.
We're gonna break that down a little bit.
I'm gonna show you first what it looks like full speed.
From here it goes one two, one two, one two, one two,
one two, one two, and freeze.
From here, it goes jump on one, ready?
One, hands come together.
Let's try that again.
One.
It's a small hop.
From here, we're gonna take our foot.
We're gonna cross it in front.
Let's try that again.
It goes one two.
Hands come out.
One two, jump back.
One, other leg this time, two.
It goes one two, jump back, one and two, jump.
Cross, jump, cross, jump, cross, jump, cross.
Let's try that again, a little faster this time.
I'm gonna count it out.
I'm gonna count out one two, one two, one two.
Here we go.
Show me you're ready by standing
in a b-boy or a b-girl stance.
Arms crossed like this.
From here, ready.
And one two, one two, one two, one two, and freeze.
Good, let's try that again, a little bit faster this time.
Ready, here we go.
One two, one two, one two, one two,
one two, one two and freeze.
Now we're gonna do an eight count.
An eight count is moving your body while counting to eight.
It looks like this.
Same thing, instead of me counting one two,
I'm gonna count one two three four five six seven eight.
Here we go, b-boy stance, b-girl stance.
One two three four five six seven eight.
A little faster this time.
Ready?
Show me you're ready.
One two three four five six seven eight, freeze.
Same thing.
This time, we're gonna do it two times in a row.
Here we go, arms crossed.
And begin, one two three four five six seven eight,
go one two three four five six seven eight, and freeze.
Good.
Moving on to the next part.
Here we go.
We're gonna do a drop.
Everybody say drop.
(laughing)
Here we go.
Make sure you have enough space.
Look around you.
This drop is a spin down.
You got to spin and we're gonna drop down to the floor.
It looks like this.
It goes jump out, feet are spread apart.
Jump and cross.
You choose whichever foot you want.
I'm gonna use this one.
From here, I'm going to untwist my legs.
Let's try that again.
Feet together, jump out, jump and cross.
Untwist my legs, come around, and down to one knee.
Spin down.
Here we go.
Let's try that again.
Feet together.
Jump out, jump and cross, untwist your legs, spin, down.
A little faster this time.
Here we go.
When I say five six seven eight that means ready set go.
Here we go, five six seven eight,
jump out, jump and cross, untwist, spin, down.
Now let's do it faster.
Five six seven eight, one two three four.
Here we go.
Let's try that again.
Five six seven eight, one two three four.
Here we go, last one and then we're gonna put
it together with those top rocks.
Here we go five six seven eight,
jump out, cross, spin, down.
Putting it with those top rocks that we did earlier,
the two step top rock.
Here we go.
Five six seven eight, one two three four
five six seven eight, jump out, cross, untwist, down.
A little faster, then we're gonna try it with music.
Here we go, ready, b-boy stance, b-girl stance.
Arms are crossed, show me you're ready.
From here, five six seven eight, one two three four
five six seven eight, jump out, cross, spin, down.
Now let's get some music going.
DJ, play that first track for me please.
(upbeat music)
From here, we're gonna do same moves,
but we're gonna try it out with music.
This is one of my favorite songs, but you can choose
whatever song you'd like.
From here, I'm gonna start off in that same b-boy
stance or that b-girl stance.
From here, feet are apart.
You can have one foot forward, one foot back.
It's up to you.
From here, nod your heads if you can hear that music.
You hear that beat, it goes one two, one two, one two.
Just try that out for a second.
If this is how fast the song is, this is how fast we're
gonna do those top rocks.
If you like to tap your toes, you can tap your toes.
Here we go.
Five six seven eight, one two three four
five six seven eight, jump out, cross, spin, down, boom.
One more time.
Here we go.
Five six, five six seven eight, go one two three four
five six seven eight, jump out, cross, spin, down, freeze.
Next part, since we're already on the ground,
we're gonna do some ground movements.
We're gonna work on what's called kick outs.
Simple name for a simple move, but not for everybody.
Sometimes moves take a little bit more practice.
Everyone's body is a little different
so then the moves that takes me a really
short amount of time might take you a little bit longer
to work on and to perfect.
Some of the moves that you know might take me
a little bit longer to perfect as well.
From here, we're just gonna try out this move.
If it's difficult for you right now, don't worry about it.
Practice it.
It will get better.
From here, we're gonna go from this knee lean position.
Then we're gonna bring it up to a neutral position.
This neutral position is like this.
It's a squat.
Look at my feet.
Notice my feet.
They are not completely on the ground.
It's not a full squat.
I'm up on my toes, just like this.
From here, you're gonna go from your toes.
One hand goes back behind you.
You're gonna kick your feet out in front.
It's gonna go to your heels.
It goes from my toes to my heels.
Let's try that again.
Toes, heels, toes, heels.
Coming back to the neutral position.
Here we go, let's try it.
From here, hand goes back out, come back,
and out, come back.
With this hand, sometimes I go here.
You could put it up.
You could point.
You could point to the direction that you're gonna
kick your feet out.
Out in front, come back.
You can have it on your hip.
It's up to you.
We're gonna do both sides.
Here we go.
Out, one, come back, switch sides.
Out, come back.
Here we go, a little faster this time.
One two, one two, and come back in.
We're gonna do four of those.
We're gonna do two to the front and two to the back.
It looks like this.
Hand goes back, kick out one, come back.
Two, come back.
From here, hand in front, kick out to the back,
three, come back in.
Switch hands, out, and come back in.
That's four of 'em.
It looks like this, from your neutral position,
it goes one two, hand in front, three and four.
Got it?
Let's try that together with our top rocks, our drop,
and then we're gonna add in those kick outs, four of 'em.
Here we go, arms crossed.
Bob your heads, show me I know you're ready.
Here we go five six seven eight,
go one two three four five six seven eight,
jump out, cross, spin, down, neutral position.
Here we go, kick out one two three and four.
Last part.
This is the freeze.
This freeze is a basic freeze on the ground.
When you freeze, you don't move.
The freeze looks like this.
We're gonna go from that last kick out,
last kick out, we're gonna go down to our knees carefully.
This hand is gonna scoop underneath.
From here, underneath down to our shoulder
and legs will cross on top.
Arms cross on top as well.
Try that out again.
From that last kick out, down to your knees.
Arm scoops under and freeze.
Here we go.
Let's try it from the beginning.
We're gonna do the whole thing from the beginning
and adding in that freeze at the very end, ready?
Here we go.
Five six seven eight, go one two three four
five six seven eight, jump out, cross, spin, down,
kick out one two three four, down, scoop, and freeze.
You guys ready to try it to a different song?
We're gonna move a little bit faster.
The song we're gonna do it a little faster
than the last one, so that means that we gotta move
a little faster as well.
Here we go.
We're gonna wait for this beat to drop
and then we're gonna try it out.
Ya'll ready, arms crossed.
(fast upbeat music)
You hear that music?
Bob your heads.
Here we go.
When I say five six seven eight, we'll start.
Five six seven eight, one two three four
five six seven eight, one two three down.
Kickouts, one two three four, down, and scoop, freeze.
(fast upbeat music)
Let's try that one more time
and I'm gonna give you a second to try it on your own.
Here we go.
Ready, five six, five six seven go.
(fast upbeat music)
Go ahead, take a second on your own try it out.
From the beginning, I will count it, you do the moves.
Ready, five six, five six, seven, go
one two three four five six seven eight.
One two, spin down, kick out.
One kick out, two kick out to the back
and the front three, kick out four, scoop and freeze.
You're done.
We're gonna end this with a cipher.
From here, you can do whatever moves you want.
You can do the moves that you learned
or you could do a mix of anything.
From here, we're gonna do it one last time
for myself and then you go.
Ready five six seven eight.
If I like the song, sometimes I move around
and I dance a little bit more.
This is what's called a freestyle.
When I freestyle, I do whatever I want.
(fast upbeat music)
You try it out.
On your own.
Anybody else that wants to dance with you,
and freeze.
We're all done.
Once again, my name is Flow Funk from the Massive Monkees.
