The Stab is one of the most important basic arm positions. In this video, I show how to cultivate it for Breaking beginners. When we dance and we have to do it inside combination, we must be sure where to put our elbow, how to put our hand on the ground and how we balance our body. It will be impossible to think how to do it while we are in motion. Since it is the main pole to stabilize the body in moves like the Halo, Turtle, Handglide etc. and Freezes like the Chair, Baby, Air-chair and others we must cultivate the stab to the fullest. Don´t ruin your set with a wobbly Freeze or fall on your halos, because you didn´t work on your stab enough. By using the conditioning technique in this video at the end of your practice sessions you´ll advance quickly.
