How to Breakdance: Windmill

So you want to learn how to breakdance? The windmill is probably one fo the most popular breakdance moves out there. It is a basic breakdance move, but is much more difficult than it looks.

1. Begin by learning to collapse. Get in a pushup position. Spread your right leg out to the right as far as you can. Your right arm should be straight, and your right elbow should be ready to "stab" or press against the right side of your abs.

2. Stab your right elbow into the right side of your abs. At the same time, lift up your left leg. Your right leg should swing under your left leg. All of this should happen relatively at the same time.

3. If you transitioned smoothly, you should be on your upper back without having experienced any pain.

4. Swing your left leg down, back, and away from your body. This is probably the trickiest part of the windmill. If you swung hard and fast enough, you should have obtained the height to reposition your right elbow into the right side of your abs. You should now be in the original starting position of the windmill with your legs off the floor.

5. Repeat steps 1-4 for continuous windmills. Remember, windmills have to be smooth. Make sure you perfect every step before moving on to the next.
