This typical New York Rock Dance Footwork is a must for all Breakers. Over the years the Breather was also adopted i...

The Karim-Getty-Up is a move that was designed to get up out of Downrock in an unconventional way. It works perfectly well when dancing on a slippery floor. It´s also a very good exercise to learn to break both ways. The exercised version that Storm shows here, encompasses a go-down, some downroc...

The Cork-Screw has a long history. What makes it particularly great for Breaking is that it serves as a move by itself, it can be used as a Go-down, it can be used as a little step inside a Down-rock set and it can be used as a stylish come up.

The Spezial-Pretzel is part of Storm´s personal vocabulary. This rudimentary form helps very well with weight shifting on the ground. Once done fast and at a solid level, the knees shouldn´t touch the ground anymore. It encompasses an intriguing direction change while executing the 8-like shape o...

The combination in this video was developed to switch fluently from Front-position to Back-position by taking an unconventional path. Each leg swings around from the in- to the out-side to get on the knees. That combined with a Sweep, a Kickout and a Sling-Swing gives it a special dynamic and gre...
