Monkey Swings will teach you how to shift your weight from one side to another so you can switch sides or change the direction of your footwork. It also teaches you how to shift your weight in order for you to be able to swing your leg.

Tips for the basic breakdance footwork move the “Monkey Swing":

  • Make sure you push to the other arm and swing your leg to the front at the same time to give room for your leg to travel to the front
  • Make sure that the leg that is out comes back to a neutral position on your toes and sitting on heels and not flat footed
  • Change your feet only when the same arm of the leg that is out is on the ground
  • Stay upright and keep your hands close by to conserve energy keep your hands close to you when placing them on the floor
  • Try your best to place your arms and your feet in the same spot they were in when switching from side to side so you don’t move around as much
