Breakdance : Air Flares

The Air Flare is possibly the most advanced power move to date. A b-boy will use similar body motions and momentum as seen in Flares and Windmills. While this move is executed, only the hands are on the floor while the body and torso whips around in a circular motion. The breaker’s legs will be in a “V” position while he jumps from one hand to another creating an inverted windmill effect.

This move takes great balance and strength to perfect. There are several variations of the Air Flare ranging from elbow positions to the more advanced one-arm Air Flares. Munch Air Flares are becoming even more popular which involves the breaker putting their legs in a squat position rather than the standard “V” shape.

The following are some fundamentals to master before trying the Air Flare:

  1. Handstands
  2. Swipes
  3. Flares
  4. 1990s
  5. Windmills

Other variations of the Air Flare are:

  1. One-Arm Air Flare
  2. Munch Air Flare
  3. Lotus Air Flare
  4. Elbow Air Flare
  5. Blind Air Flare
