How to Become a Break Dance Performer

Carolina: Hi! I am Carolina from watchmojo.com and today we are at the just for last break dance competition with talk to some b-boys. Tell me how you guys started in break dancing. Sam De Waele: I started like 10 years ago and because I was playing djembe and then I have lot of energy so for me it was like a perfect combination b-boying and I started dancing on parties and stuff like that and now we have been like traveling around the globe and living out of dance to it has been great. Alexander Dziri: I got started 6 years ago very cliché actually I saw a video clip of somebody dancing and I was like what's what I want to do, it took me about a year to find somebody who started dancing and I started then I never quite. Carolina: How has break dancing changed since it started for you guys? Alexander Dziri: When I started I was all tricks, you got to do like the biggest trick like when the crowd goes vow! That's when you win, but now it's more about a combination of things so with your foundation, your original stuff, you own style. Carolina: Can you just tell me what a break dance battle is, what are the rules? Sam De Waele: It's a competition between two groups, it can be like group against group, to two on two, three against three or one on one. You try to like out dancer opponenets and try to do it better and it said I got to lot to do with attitudes, it's like a jitter role you play, you play some bad ass, you try to beat your opponents it has lot to do with technique, it's like a game of chess when to do what. Carolina: You guys are from Belgium, what country do you think is the best in terms of break dancing, who has been coming out with the most innovative, creative, hardcore stuff that you can think off. Alexander Dziri: USA. Same De Waele: USA yeah. Alexander Dziri: USA is still the best. Same De Waele: USA is where it came from, so I think you are like always one step ahead, but Korea also really extreme, friends they were really good like a couple of years ago, now I don't know they are going down little bit in Holland, which is also next door from us, it really coming up. Carolina: What would you recommend to someone who just wants to start out in break dancing? Alexander Dziri: Be very open try to learn as much as possible in the beginning, so learn the foundation and also try all kinds of original stuff, well people that went very far I their own style. Carolina: Thank guys. Alexander Dziri: No problem.
