Breaking · base setup

Mark your space

Mark it once. Every card in breaking starts from this space and adds what it needs.

Fits: One room, Hall or court

Seen from above, to scale: 2 m by 2 m.

The space

2 m by 2 m of smooth, non-slip floor (a mat on a hard floor); music with a clear beat; a mirror if there is one.

Where it fits: indoor room, studio.

Kit

Soft shoes with flat soles; no jewellery; knee and wrist support only if the teacher advises.

Safety

Warm up and cool down; warm the neck, arms, wrists and trunk, which breaking loads; a flat, even, non-slip floor free of loose objects, sprung wood if there is one; keep freezes short and with an adult watching; the head never takes weight at home; no power moves without a teacher.
