I don't do it much. I find that B-Boys get annoyed hahaha because you're not standing on your arms or doing some exciting moves (exciting to them at
least). I don't trip about it though man, I've said it before-even though I don't consider myself a source for Rock education, but Rocking is
it's own dance. I like to just bug out by myself outside the circle and let the music be crowd and party. A Bboy circle is strictly for vanity or battle
purposes, which is totally fine by me-that's the spirit of b-boying. Rocking definitely still has a lot of growing to do in the b-boy community-it's
just 2 different things. I've said it before and I'll say it again-a lot of B-boys still think they can just do jerks and burns-and think they know
Rocking. There's also no reason to diss on that because at least they are trying to keep it alive in that aspect, but it's dance and rhythm-and in my
eyes if I see somebody just trying to Rock to battle somebody "subway scene style" (and I can't front I was young and watched that and thought it
was correct also) I don't get excited. I've seen a lot of kids that aren't even Rocking, but just fucking grooving out and I think to myself-if
they learned some basic moves-those kids could be Rockers. I've rambled on a bit, but my suggestion is to just bug out in your own circle, and if you do
feel like rocking in their cypher just go out and take it easy and Rock the way you know best-just let the music get you-the people that feel the dance will
connect with you, those who don't just never will-and that's OKAY!!! Because your beautiful, you're smart, and Gosh Darnit-You're GOOD ENOUGH.
Those are my two cents-and now I'm broke again.

Ye i feel you, thats the way i usually dance on a bboy jam, couse bboys here dont respect us and if you aint going down your waisting the time in the circle
(in their opinion), but on the afterparty when everybodys drunk they can only do toprock so heres some time when i can rock in a cypher. Thanks for the reply i
was realy curious what do other rockers think about it and i realy apreciate your help, giving you back your two cents so you wont be broke hehe Peace and
1love

Much respect peeps
I agree with your post brotha Danny:) Truth is Original Latin BBoys were Bronx style Rockers Vinnie, Trac, Abby, sal soul, TBB, starchild la roc, ect Even I started out as a Rocker then turned to Breakin:) All these cats will tell you they started out Rockin Then got into Breakin. Problem is Original BBoyin is based off the Boyoing/ the Bounce (like Frosty Freeze, and todays young tiger YNOT And Rockin (speakin for Bronx style) is based of Rockin your Body back then forth to the beat and Freestyle... The Rock and The Bounce is where we get the FUNK! =) What we do with our feet is " Freestyle". So basically we have a whole bunch of BBoys just moving there feet and freestylin with NO ROCK and NO BOUNCE! And that equals NO FUNK! =( "Todays" Bboys approach Toprock the same way they approach Breakin moves, sets, and tricks =( and no feeling =( And allot of them (todays BBOYS) think there doin damage! Lol Its up to real Rockers to showem the feeling.... and the FUNK, LATIN SOUL, ect so for me gettin in a BBOY cihper is jus schoolin them regardless if they feelin it or not =) many are called few are chosen Aint no BBBOY gonna out funk me unless he learns the principles of either THE ROCK, or THE BOUNCE DANNY! I lost your digits my phone crashed in Russia please hit me private bruh aight uno wigz |

I have to say that there no diss to any bboys when a rocker enters the circle. Because there are some of the breaks that rocker was rocking to before the
bboys. Thats in brooklyn that I'm talking about. The bronx has there own way and story to tell. If you are in brooklyn and they play sex machine or others
songs that rocker rock to and there a bboy circle. You will see many rockers getting into that circle to dance. But it's no diss to the bboys. Its the same
if there is a circle and the DJ plays funk you will poppers or lockers in the cirle. Sometimes I enter a circle to show how we dance to many songs back in the
days. There are some songs that the lockers and poppers dance to that we rock to. I think its about what era you come from that you will enter a circle. I
respect every dance because I was once doing these dance back in the days. In the new DVD that I have shows when a song is play. How many different style of
dance will dance to that song. I hope I help you with a little infor peace.

First and foremost!
If you in a circle whether you a B-boy, Rocker, Popper, Locker, or a house dancer You gotta shut the circle down...and I dont mean burning ctas! I mean your style has to be soo ILL that everyone feels like they have to stop dancin.... Thats when you know youre good! I won't front I like burning B-boys in circles! I'll take up a whole song and hog the circle! It's funny when they try to burn me and what not and then they walk away! So its all about that style funk and presentation! PEACE! |

I'd rather dance on a line than in a (bboy) circle, personally speaking. Although Rob does make a great point. If you are going to jump in, shut it down.
From my experience, the circle lacks a certain groove. It has it's own kind of force going on. Like Danny stated, I'd rather groove on my own, amongst
those who are in-tune with the same vibe I'm feelin' that way it's more communal. The thing with the Bboy circle is that the nature of the circle
is to battle. I feel Rockers battle on the line, not in the circle. It's going to be difficult, again in my limited experience, to jump in and freestyle.
It's when they step that the situation changes. I'd say that's when you put away the freestyle and bring out the burns, but that's not what
this forum is about... sorry about that: I digress.

haha why rock in a bboy circle when u can just start a line.
I would be down to rock in a toprock cypher more than a typical bboy cypher. |
