a regular dude learning how to breakdance for 100 days.
Day 12: starting the drills

Now that I have a foundation of toprock, six-step, three-step, and a few drops, it’s time to start learning new moves.

I’m a big fan of going slow.  What I mean by that is most people try and do everything in one day and then end up tearing a muscle and stopping before ever really even getting started.

According to my accelerated math skills, I have about 87 more days of practice before I hit my goal of 100.  A lot can happen in 100 days.  And part of the “a lot” I want to happen is a windmill.  It begins today.

This tutorial on how to do a backspin from the Breakdancing Ninja is what I’m using to get the backspin down which looks like it will help with the foundational pieces of a windmill like being able to swing your legs without pulling your groin.  Yes, I said groin.

Tip of the day:
Move forward gradually without trying to learn every move in one day.

Follow the experiment on Twitter. And friend me on Facebook.
