Breakdancing, also known as breaking, rocking , getting down, go off or b-boying / b-girling isn't just a collection of impressive moves. It's a vibrant culture built on community, respect, and a shared passion for expression. And at the heart of this culture lies what we call in Hip Hop, the Cypher. A Cypher is a circular formation of people--in this case dancers-- where the magic truly happens.
" The concept of the cypher was introduced by an Islamic-based organization, the Five Percent Nation, also known as the Nation of Gods and Earth, which was an offshoot of the Nation of Islam and formed in Harlem during the mid-1960s. - The Dallas Observer Five Percent Nation For the novice stepping into their first breaking class, the cypher might seem intimidating. But for seasoned B-girls and B-boys, it's a sacred space pulsating with energy, history, and the raw essence of breaking. This blog dives deep into the significance of the cypher, exploring not just what it is, but what it represents for the breaking community
Breaking Down the Walls: Community and Unity in the Circle
Imagine a vibrant group of people, pulsating with the beat of hip-hop. In the center, a circle forms, not to exclude, but to welcome. This circle is the cypher, and within its boundaries, all are equal. For B-girls and B-boys, the cypher transcends age, race, and skill level. It's a space where passion for breaking unites individuals, fostering a strong sense of community. Whether you're a beginner mastering your first windmill or a seasoned veteran dropping jaws with mind-blowing footwork, the cypher welcomes you. Respect the Circle, Respect the Craft: Stepping Up to the Challenge Entering the cypher isn't just about showcasing your moves. It's an act of respect for the space and the dancers already there. It's a silent acknowledgement of their dedication and an unspoken agreement to uphold the spirit of breaking. But the cypher is more than just respect - it's a challenge. It's your chance to step into the spotlight and unleash your creativity. Here, you can push your limits, experiment with new moves, and leave the audience breathless with your skill. It's a nerve-wracking but exhilarating experience that fuels growth and camaraderie

Turning Up the Volume: The Flow and Call and Response of the Cypher
The circular format of the cypher isn't just symbolic. It creates a natural flow for dancers to take turns in the center,showcasing their unique styles. One dancer finishes their throw down, go down, set, routine, the energy builds, and another steps in, seamlessly picking up the rhythm. This creates a beautiful call and response dynamic. The dancers build off each other's energy, their moves feeding into one another, creating an improvised masterpiece that's greater than the sum of its parts. A Legacy in Motion: History and Tradition in the Circle The cypher isn't just a modern phenomenon. It's a cornerstone of breaking's history, dating back to its birth in the New York City streets of the 1970s. The founders of breaking used the cypher as a platform for expression, battling for bragging rights and pushing the boundaries of the dance form. Today, dancing in a cypher connects B-girls and B-boys to this rich legacy. It's a tangible link to the pioneers who paved the way. Every cypher becomes a living testament to breaking's evolution, a space where the past inspires the present and shapes the future.

More Than Moves: The Supportive Energy of the Cypher
While the spotlight shines on the dancers in the center, the true magic of the cypher extends beyond them. Surrounding the circle stands the crew - the B-girls, B-boys, and supporters who form the backbone of the breaking community. Their cheers, claps, and words of encouragement create a symphony of support. The cypher becomes a breeding ground for positive energy, pushing dancers to break their limits and celebrate each other's triumphs. It's a safe space to experiment, fail, and rise again, all with the unwavering support of your breaking family.

It's a space where respect meets challenge, tradition meets innovation, and support fuels growth. So, whether you're a curious newcomer or a seasoned breaker, the cypher welcomes you.

Well he was born dancing and loves to dance but didn't find the right connection until we found Steven and Anthony and the Dynasty crew ( 5 Crew Dynasty) on the track of Astoria Park. Eddie saw it and he lit up. I think like I don't know one or two classes in and this was it for him, this was his thing and it's really, everything's taken a backseat in his brain. This has been what's had him going, It's been a year and a half about. Bboy Rival: Oh Nice!

Bboy Rampage: Yeah so my name is Rampage, 5 Crew Dynasty, represent Queens New York, Brooklyn New York, all of New York. Well I started breaking, really is gonna sound funny but to impress girls because I was a teenager and I started to, I got there and I had no rhythm zero rhythm to save my life but I was always athletic enough to do handstands and things like that and then when I found breaking and it was really just a look cool but then as I got into it, I was always athletic right I did sports and things like that but I couldn't really be free when you do sports you know it's just either dribble ball pass and shoot it you throw ball hit the ball whatever and that's kind of the end of it and that's that's dope for people who are really into it but when I found some thing equally or more physically demanding and more athletic plus I can be creative with it that's what really kept me involved in it and then as I went along the way I met my crew and they were all just friends my age We were friends first and crew first and then we just all happen to love the same thing so that also kept me going with the too. Bboy Rival: Word Word OK and last two questions. What’s something that you like from today and the second one is what is something that you learned ? Bboy Rampage: What I liked about today was the energy for all the competitors so like sometimes you go to jams and you see like someone's favorite bboy gets mad love because of their name or what ever they might not even kill it I just got my love for a baby freeze on beat you know what I’m saying but here are all the competitors whether there were killing it or kinda just Vibin out all the kids got a lot of love from the crowd so I really like that. One thing I learned today is that teamwork makes the dream work baby I mean anything a 2 on 2 format or up is it is a crew is a team. so really balancing that energy with your crew mate and who you enter with Is a, is very important and I mean I've kind of always known that cause my crew , 5 Crew we really love doing routines and working together to do bigger routines and things like that but it was kind a revisiting that idea.

Mastering the Art of Dance as a United Crew:
The Power of Sharing a Bgirl's Story
As an elder crew member of Natural Born Killahaz (NBK) and a part of Full Circle, I recently had the opportunity to attend an event that showcased the empowerment of sharing a Bgirl's story. The event, which was being recorded for social media, took place on Saturday, November 11th at 360 Flow Dance studio in Brooklyn, NY.
I was particularly absorbed by the interview of three Bgirls from our crew: Gi Jane, J La Rok, and Kat Logik. These three Bgirls are 2nd and 3rd Generation of NBK, and they have all made significant contributions to our community.
The interview was conducted by Bgirl Herstory, a project created & curated by Mantis of Full Circle. Bgirl Herstory is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the stories of Bgirls from around the world.
In the interview, Gi Jane, J La Rok, and Kat Logik shared their experiences as Bgirls in our Hip Hop community. They spoke about the challenges they have faced, as well as the triumphs they have achieved.
Their stories were both inspiring and moving. They spoke about the importance of being true to yourself and never giving up on your dreams. They also spoke about the importance of mentorship and community.
I am so proud of these three Bgirls. They are an inspiration to all of us.

The Importance of Sharing Bgirl Stories
It is more important than ever before to share Bgirl's stories. Bgirls are an integral part of the Hip Hop community, and their stories need to be told.
By sharing Bgirl stories, we can help to empower other Bgirls and inspire them to pursue their dreams. We can also help to educate people about the history and culture of Bboying and Bgirling.
I encourage everyone to check out the Bgirl Herstory interview of Gi Jane, J La Rok, and Kat Logik. They are truly inspiring stories.
The Evolving Role of Bgirls in Hip Hop
The role of Bgirls in hip hop has evolved significantly over the years. When I first started Bboying (vernacular correction Breaking) in the 1990s (1995), there were very few Bgirls around.
Over the past 20 years, the number of Bgirls has increased dramatically. This is due in part to the efforts of pioneers like Rokafella, Asia One, Honey Rockwell, just to name a few, who have been instrumental in promoting Bgirling (vernacular correction Females Breaking).
The presence of Bgirls in the Hip Hop community has had a positive impact on the culture. Bgirls have brought a new level of creativity and energy to the dance. They have also helped to break down gender stereotypes.
I am proud to be a part of a community that is so welcoming and supportive of Bgirls.
Conclusion
I am grateful to Bgirl Herstory and Mantis for giving Gi Jane, J La Rok, and Kat Logik the opportunity to share their stories. I am also grateful to 360 Flow Dance studio for hosting the event.
I believe that this event is an important step towards preserving and celebrating the legacy of Bgirls.
I encourage everyone to support Bgirl Herstory and other projects that are dedicated to telling the stories of Bgirls.
Thank you for reading.

Capturing the Hip Hop Lifestyle at OFF THE HOOK JAM with iPhone 7 Videography and Creative Editing
11/10/2023
B-boys, B-girls, graffiti artists , Skateboarders and hip hop fans alike came together
On Saturday, November 4, 2023, the Liberty State Park Railroad Station in Jersey City, New Jersey, was transformed into a vibrant hub of hip hop & skateboarding culture for the OFF THE HOOK JAM event. Presented by @mr_mustart and @LEVITATE_CREATIVE_SERVICES, the event featured live graffiti art, breaking battles, a skateboarding competition with live music and performances throughout the evening. My experience was captured by me with my iPhone 7. However with all due respect I did not capture any footage of the skateboarding because I was influenced by the dance circles and graffiti art. A big shout out goes to one of our
Bboy Bgirl Lifestyle Newest Participant who entered their first ever breaking competition / battle.
I was drawn to the OFF THE HOOK JAM not only of its focus on showcasing the diverse and vibrant hip hop lifestyle more over because our dance group, NBK Natural Born Killahz of Jersey City was being awarded with the Crew Legacy Award from CUDA Culture, a 501c3 non profit organization based in Jersey City, NJ. From the Boys and Bgirls spinning and flipping on the floor to the graffiti artists creating masterpieces on the walls, there was something for everyone to enjoy. I was also impressed by the positive energy and sense of community that permeated the event.
To capture the essence of the OFF THE HOOK JAM, I used my iPhone 7's videography capabilities to create a brief 60-second video that highlights some of the event's highlights. I focused on capturing the energy and excitement of the breakdancing battles, the creativity of the graffiti artists, and the overall vibe of the event.
In post-production, I used creative editing techniques to enhance the video and tell a story about the OFF THE HOOK JAM. I used slow motion and close-ups to highlight the dancers' skills, and I used color grading and transitions to create a visually appealing and engaging video.
Here are some of the specific techniques that I used to capture the hip hop lifestyle at OFF THE HOOK JAM with my iPhone 7 videography and creative editing:

Here are some of the specific techniques that I used to capture the hip hop lifestyle at OFF THE HOOK JAM with my iPhone 7 videography and creative editing:
* **Use of slow motion:** Slow motion is a great way to highlight the athleticism and skill of the dancers. I used slow motion to capture some footwork from the our BBGL new student's' battle, as well as to display some of the action of some of the Graff writers.
* **Use of close-ups:** Close-ups can be used to capture the emotion and intensity of the dancers' and artist . I used close-ups to show the artists facial expressions and body language as they created their master pieces.
* **Color grading:** Color grading can be used to create a specific mood or atmosphere in a video. I used color grading to make my video more visually appealing and to match the energy of the OFF THE HOOK JAM event.
* **Use of transitions:** Transitions can be used to create a sense of flow and movement in a video. I used an old film like transitions to connect different shots and to create a more engaging viewing experience.
The main voice for this post and video is to help promote Hip Hop culture, the Bboy Bgirl Lifestyle and showcase the vibrant diversity that it encompasses. I encourage others to use their smartphones to capture the Hip Hop Bboy Bgirl lifestyle and share their own unique perspectives stories with the world.

-The more you practice windmills,
the better you'll become.
|
Windmills are one of the most iconic bboying, bgirling, breaking moves, and for good reason. They're flashy, they're challenging, and they look amazing when done well. But like any other bgirling, bboying, breaking move, windmills take practice to master.
That's where the saying "repetition is the father of learning" comes in. The more you practice windmills, the better you'll become at them. It's just that simple. In this video, I share a little bit of my windmill practice with you. I'm not perfect, but I just keep pushing forward to continue developing good windmills. And the only way I'm getting there is by practicing. |
So if you're serious about learning windmills, here's my advice: practice, practice, practice. And don't get discouraged if you don't get it right away. Just keep practicing, condition your body and eventually you'll nail it.
Here are a few tips to help you get started:
* Start by learning the basic windmill position. The stab freeze with legs open. This is the position you'll be in when you're spinning around.
* Once you have the basic position down, start practicing the windmill motion. This is the part where you're spinning around on your back.
* Don't worry about going fast at first. Just focus on getting the motion down. Learn the technique of kicking you legs and twisting your waist as your roll onto your back.
* Once you're comfortable with the windmill motion, start practicing doing windmills for longer periods of time.
* Most importantly, have fun!
Bboying, bgirling, breaking also known as breakdancing is challenging but a rewarding art form and windmills are one of the most satisfying moves to learn. So keep practicing, and eventually you'll be windmillin' like a pro.
