How 2 Breakdance: Flare to Windmill Tutuorial [intermediate]

This was a hard move when i first started. I didnt have youtube back when i was 14 imm hope this vid will help any early bboyz/bgrlz get this move. During the video i call this a windmill flare, which it is NOT...i just messed up and called it that accidentally. This is a FLARE-WINDMILL COMBO. GL with it
If you found this video helpful and want to learn more bboy moves...we have bboy guides available covering basic moves & powermoves along with how to do windmill variations. Check out this video or email me for more information!

[@BboySouth]

Yo man you a dope teacher bro seriously

[@insanekidakaneil]

Thanks. I had just one little problem and this helped a bit. I know this I unbeleivably harder (or at least for me) but if you can windmill to a flare, I would love to see a video about it.

[@marianaurel]

[@lilshoutymouas]

Dope! I can actually understand it hahahahaxD Cause i start like you haha dope man keep it up

[@bboyinvincible]

Hey man thanks for the video. Ive been workin on this for a while. Could you post a multiple flares guide?

[@WhiteCharisma]

awesome! even if its old and the quality isn't so great, still a great tutorial. i had to pause at 4:20 to go get something, came back to see that you were flashing the camera with wide open legs LOLOLOL If someone came to the comp before i came back it woulda looked pretty gay hahahah

[@fl1pk1d23]

this is so sick, it seems so easy but its so freaking hard to do!!!!!! any tips to try to held your body up?

[@digimaster89]

Nice this is very helpfull.. just tell everyone going clockwise to invert everything.

[@BoogieSmurf_]

i think you are a way betta break dancer than popper, but keep up the good work in all style u know, dont forget to practice everythin

[@ArctiicTech]

Nice man, those look really clean. Actually, I have some trouble going from windmill to flares too, I do stabbed windmills so when I come around and go into the flare I start from a turtle, it doesn't look very clean and there's even a little lag. Any tips on how to unstqab?

[@lst48OGCRAIG]

Nice Move's I breakdance myself but u show me a better way to do it

[@TheEvgenia19]

Nice moves :) Realy hard :( How many times I must to do this 'till I learn it?

[@rapsthasheez]

Its never to late to learn somethin new dogg...Go for it

[@TheHeallvenGod]

good!! thank for the tip bro!!

[@hunterthemanvox]

i used to get bad carpet burn on my elbow from windmills, i cut the toe part of of a long sock and made a sort of protector. and after practicing with that, i dont need to wear it anymore cause i dont get burned. im not sure where on you its hurting though...if not your elbow.

[@463949]

i cant do these moves yet, but i was wondering what would happen if someone does run into this problem. I guess you're gonna have to change one of them. btw, how do you guys get so high in windmills? i see people are able to roll their forehead across the floor.

[@isaruhx]

Do you have to have experience to be able to learn this? Or can any starters be able to do it ?

[@TheEronman]

you know dude, i tought you were only a tutter and popper. :)) haha. wow you are a breaker too. :D nice one. :D

[@TheRsnerd1234]

yo muzic, do you have tut for right handers??

[@yonaeb]

doesn't matter. whatever feels comfortable. but make sure all your moves go in one direction for good combos.

[@DaleDriven]

i finally did two full spins but i stopped and kicked my nose and i started to bleed. im very clumsy. lol. btw. whats the difference between a halo and a windmill flare?

[@BigKnowledgeno1]

thanks it really helped alot

[@VernGusto]

don't sound dumb but could u do a flare tutorial i try doing from watching u do and all i did was hurt myself.

[@saberallen5]

thanx dude 4 makin this

[@DFrizzleNizzle]

wait this is like a bit confusing for me. Some people just like do the coin drop way where they don't put their hand down but put their elbow/back to transition to windmill. Is this correct?

[@bboybocky]

Oh thank you,you help wery much.

[@chris83jamskater]

ok i have one ? ok i use my left hand for flares and i use my right hand for windmills so how do that work out to try to flares to windmills?

[@Bitlo2d]

nice ur good man i will try it =)

[@RolfCityDirtHunt]

well i was in gymnastics early in life. but physically im able to do L seats of flat ground for 1 minute. handstand is at 1 min ten secs. basically strong enough for 2 people to do this

[@barfgreenrulz]

What do I do about my hardwood floors and I've never breaked before?

[@IamEmmett]

hahahahahaha man ncie mistake, i'm rollin around on a kid like the floor xD haha an but nice vid, it really helped.

[@bboy4life1992]

nice vid man,...

[@TheSilentAssassin5]

how r u suppose to transition from a flare to a windmill if u use ur left hand 2 flare while u use ur right hand to windmill?? r they suppose to b da same hand or wat?? help me out please? lol

[@wojecire]

"I'm rolling on the kid like a floor." HAHA!!!

[@EnigmaticElement]

@Muzicsoulrhythm I like how you replied to it, and didn't even correct it. SWAG. Lawlz.

[@WeL1ve4Mus1c4ever]

@TheTuktuk42 windmill but it hurts more though cuz i say flare is the hardest move in breaking

[@saberallen5]

but which way shud i go if i'm right handed?

[@ameer2109]

I dunnoe why but i always go dead after moving into windmill....I manage to drop but i cant get into a windmill......dang,any help ?

[@Nhatral]

just like the other guys asked idk how to windmill to flare if you use flare with left hand and windmill with right

[@tailgail]

hey. is that you frank? its me melon

[@ChazSupreme]

the windmill standing term is wrong. the coindrop is when none of ur hands touch the ground, and u jump twist in a windmill motion. a windmill standing is jst a windmill from standing

[@cruxifide]

you CAN combine them if both are in the same direction..

[@jerryq27]

nice lol im so close to one round of flares and 2 windmills lol

[@Blackjesus3]

@TiffaniPeaster1021 thxx

[@CwalkRollex]

thx man

[@akaweed2009]

check it out on 5.20 - 5.30 he farts in there lawl hahha

[@bzboi100]

oncew i hit 2 flares this was hecka easy

[@WeL1ve4Mus1c4ever]

@TheTuktuk42 yeah my shoulders still hurt D:

[@yonaeb]

well harmonyofdeath.. either learn your flares or windmills in the other direction to make them the same....or.....don't use that combo.

[@ArctiicTech]

Actually, that's not true. Everybody's physique is different, some people learn baby mills before windmills or airflares before flares. I personally learned the flare first and it took me like a year to learn how to windmill lol. Also, some people like me are right handed but started in a direction that requires left-handed stabs or leans.

[@bboyxecutioner]

'windmill to flare' is more of a different story compared to 'flare to windmill'.

[@punkysauras]

I tried to kick my face like you said, yup .. I kicked my face and got a nosebleed.

[@xXBboyiceXx]

Hardwood floor best for bboying ( my own opinion )

[@AznNikka911]

i go counter too and im right handed

[@jordanbarrett2168]

i can flare, i am 13 years old. i can windmill aswell just need to link them.

[@ArctiicTech]

Learn your foundations. Practice turtles until you can hold them one handed on both hands. Plaunches will help GREATLY, but it isn't a requirement (that's when you put your hands down in front of you on the floor and lift your lower body up and hold it/into a handstand). Most of all, repetition! Doing them repeatedly teaches your body which muscles to build and also build resistance to pain from those target muscles/skin surfaces.

[@xXBboyiceXx]

unfortunately That was not clockwise that was Counter Clockwise...

[@masterkayaki]

u really forgot the point that you gotta be yolked as hell to do sumthing like that

[@deleriousclock]

you do NOT need to be yolked. its all technique and momentum. look at professional bboys. fucking like JUNIOR is yolked. but then look at bboy still or some other korean bboy. they are just fit. yeah you need some strength but by no means do you need to be hulk. just commmit 100% to the move and the energy will transfer you through it just fine.

[@_Jus_Joshin]

you act just like my big bro. who past

[@py7726]

LOL .. press 6 and keep repeating it xD

[@RolfCityDirtHunt]

i learned flare first lol

[@trap6695]

2019 may?

[@ZodiacStarcraft]

I did the flare and I think I heard my bone crack or something. :)

[@kungfumaniac96]

whoa whao dont kill urselves u hav to be strong but not THAT strong lol

[@slakker321]

@TheTuktuk42 windmill is a lot easier.

[@isaruhx]

Very simple ?! Pleaassee.

[@mel149]
