Down break styles:

UPROCK ( Brooklyn Rock ) - it is a fight imitating dance. To feel the rhythm and music - this is the main in the "fight". Nowadays, the uprock is often misplaced with another break element - the toprock.

TOPROCK(Shuffle) - is a dance style, vertical foot work. This dance is very individual, because each dancer has his own toprock style. The transition from toprock to floor elements-downrock, is named godown.

FOOTWORK is one of the first invented breaking moves. You can hardly imagine a good dance without an original chain or fast foot sequence. A good done footwork move looks sometimes better then even powermove.

DOWNROCK ( Floorrock, Footwork ) - the rhythmic steps, circulary around your body. There are a lot of various DOWNROCK elements.
The simplest example: the cutting down. This is the common move, and it can be easy done by everybody, regardless of whether you are in a good shape or not. In fact, the cutting down descends in break from folk russian dances. The dancer sits on the floor on his left leg, and the right leg is straightened to the right side. Then, he moves circulary his right leg in parallel with the floor, leaning on his palms. Then the move is repeated with the left leg.

SPINING ( POWER ) MOVES - these are moves, which requires, as a rule, a good physical strength. But if you don't have a good physical strength you can succeed in performing these moves by accentuating the good mastering of art.

WAVE - a beginner's move. In a serious breakdance it's rarely used. By another side, for the beginner the wave can be a good training. The dancer falls down on his arms. First he touches the ground with his arms, then with his breast, and finally with his legs.
