6-step - Step-by-step

Step-by-step

This description is for clockwise rotation.

As the name implies, there are a total of six steps in one rotation of the 6-step. A standard version begins in the push-up position with feet spread apart.

1. The left hand lifts, and the right foot is placed where that hand used to be.
2. As weight shifts onto the right hand and foot, the left leg is moved up into the crook of the right knee.
3. The right leg swings around in front of the right hand and comes down so that the bboy's legs are in a crab position. Meanwhile, he switches hands so that the left hand returns to the ground and the right hand flies up.
4. The left leg now swings around in a wide arc and wraps around the right.
5. The right leg moves back into its original push-up spot.
6. Lastly, the left leg pulls back while the right hand comes down to complete the push-up position. The breaker is now back in the starting position and may continue with step 1.
