I used to breakdance in middle school and high school. I could even do flares, windmills, and airflares. Then I started to party too much, work all the time, and had kids young. My kids didnt believe I was decent at breaking back in the day so I had to show them what was up! Since I'm 34 now and slightly out of shape, I now have a sprained wrist and a pulled groin muscle.......... They still dont believe I was a bboy and laughed hysterically when I got hurt. Maybe I cant break anymore but at least I can still ground my kids 😄👍

It's 2:00am and I am trying to learn break dance 💀

Me: gets in the floor to practice My dog: ah dude whatsup

His facial expression during flares is full of focus.

Flexibility X Strength X Well I'm done for

Me: has dream to be dancer My body: peace was never an option

this is a great explanation. I went through all those steps and can verify that this is totally the way to go. Just keep at it and try to force your way through. Even if you feet touch the ground just keep pushing forcibly, your brain will figure it out eventually while at the same time body will get stronger

I remember trying to learn this when I was younger and fell on my chest and face .-. Now that I’m stronger I’m definitely going to try to get this again lol

But you gotta focus

who discovered they could do this, was someone one day like "lemme spin real quick" and then boom, flaring is born??

Hi folks I'm probably the most unusual 55 year old around town, I have very fit body and perform as a part time pro dancer and stripper, I look 10 years younger than my age however. Ive been trying to catch the flares for years unsuccessfully until a few days ago. The mistake I was making that is hardly mentioned is; I used to swing my hips too low and short, I stopped @ 5 to 4 o clock but once I filmed myself I saw the error. Now I complete my swing @ 2 -1 o'clock and I swing higher with more power completing 3 rounds easily. I still need to clean it up but I can now go around. So anyone learning the flares take note of where your hips completes the swing, remember 2-1 o clock or 10 -11 o'clock

I'm almost 40 but I'm determined to get flares this year!!! Thanks for the tutorial!

I’m going to dislocate my shoulder doing this pmao

Dexterity: 18 Endurance: 20 Strength: 4

Perhaps the most informative and helpful tutorial I’ve seen on this platform

this is quality content, like, really. Thank you Lucas for the work you're puttin into these, happy you got 1M, and you're growing! hehe

The cat breakdancing made me do this

I’ve been breaking for 4 years and I still don’t have it😂

Props Bruh. This was no joke the best instruction vid on flares ive eber seen and I'm 35 and started when I was 13 so seem my share. You include details and practices that correctly and clearly. Great job bboy teach

Today I decided to practice flares on the floor. Just went round in circles with legs on the ground. I've now mastered opposite leg opposite arm and shoulder mobility is a prerequisite. Currently working on L sit , Seated saddle and splits for additional flexibility. I hope to do clean high flares in a year's time. God willing 🙏🏿👍🏿🇰🇪

I haven’t breakdance since high school. My favorite moves was flares into windmill best combination.

I stopped listening at: You need to have upper strength

Don't you just love these people that share their talents? Kudos to you my bro

I’m focusing real hard, man! I know I can do this! 1 second later: *pulls shoulder muscle*

Hey bro you rock! Very professional, through, and you give self-confidence. A real Pro and a Natural teacher. Thanks I am going to have to give it a try.

Love this dude

Good tutorial 💥👏🏻

i dont know how but Flare was actually pretty easy to me to learn i did it in 1 hour

Took me along time to get this down along with the coin toss. Most clean t-flares I was able to max out was 10 without a set. First rule I learned going into breaking was learning how to walk on my hands. Good times!!

Is anybody just enjoying the faces he makes??? Also these are so well explained moves. I love these videos. Thank you Pigmie!! >

This is the COOLEST move ! Amazing 😉

This is so easy when u focas

Those dislikes are ppl who just gave up

Wow flares on point!

50% done Bro thankx Respect Love From pakistan :)

I’m not a bboy but all your videos are inspirational bropunch👊💥

Thanks home slice for the perfect lesson

First i need flexibility, then I need strength!?! I can’t do this 😐

I can do 2 or 3 air flares but can’t do normal flares :/

Thanks for this video bro ☺🤘

I love how you just reversed the footage for clockwise, also, I'm counter-clockwise! Love your videos!
