Breakdance : Swipes

SWIPES

Click2Dance is proud to release the Master Swipe as this month’s free download! We believe this is great video to represent the world-class teaching of our videos as well as being an essential fundamental for all breakdancers. Whether you are a beginning b-boy looking for moves to master or an advanced b-boy finding ways to perfect your technique, this Master Swipe video ensures that you will learn something new

The Master Swipe also called Air Swipe is one the most fundamental power moves in breakdancing. It is a moderately difficult movement that involves the breakdancer supporting his weight with his arms in a handstand while the torso and legs twist in the air 360 degrees. There are many variations of the Master Swipe such as a One-leg Swipes and Baby Swipes.  The Swipe has been featured in blockbuster Hollywood movies such as “Office Space”.

This is a great fundamental b-boy move for all levels of breakdancers since it can be combined with more difficult moves to create aerial combinations.
