Today we're showing breaking tips. Alright, now I'm going to talk a little bit more about footwork. Now, another different category of footwork is what we call back rock. Personally, back rock is a good transitional move. If you happen to fall or slip and land on your back, you don't want to look like you fell. You want to look like you knew exactly what you were doing. I'm going to demonstrate a little bit of what back rock looks like. Here on the floor. Now I'm going to go to the left first, so I'm going to go over my head. Now I'm going to show you the counts. It's going to go 1, 2, 3, 4. That's what back rock looks like. Now, let's say I was doing a move, and I just happen to fall. Demonstration; here I was trying to go to another move. Oops I fell, step. Play it off. Don't ever look like you fell. You want to continue the motion no matter what. Alright, this is how we do back rock. Back rock is almost very similar to the CC's off your back. Now, it's a 1, 2 combo as well. So basically, 1, back, 2, back. This is what it looks like. We're going to start off going to our left side. I'm on my back here. I have my left knee bent. Now, the trick to this is you want to come off your shoulder blade. So your hand wants to slip under this way. Almost as if you were reaching for something. So what I do is I switch feet. 1. Now my right knee's bent, my left leg is straight. Now, my hands come in this position here as if I was going to do a baby freeze. I'm going to lean to the side here. My left hand's going to come in like I'm going to do a shoulder freeze. Place this hand down, put your head on the floor, and tap with your right toe, and your left foot is up. Now you're going to come back and fall all the way back to your left foot into the beginning position. Now from here, you're going to switch feet and you're going to repeat the same motion in the opposite direction. Again, bring your hands in here for the stab. You're going to lean over, your right hand's going to come in like a shoulder freeze. Same thing, here, back to the beginning. This move has a rhythm to it. You don't want to just throw your legs out crazy. Again, it goes 1, 2, 3, 4. I'm going to demonstrate and here it goes. On your back, so it's going to go 1, 2, 3, 4. That's basically what back rock looks like.
