How to Windmill Break-dance For Beginners
The Windmill break-dance is considered the toughest among the most prominent break-dancing moves, as it is a combination of Kung Fu, a windmill’s gyroscopic movement, and some other dance moves. The windmill break-dance requires strong coordination between the movement of your legs and arms. Of course, no one can master the windmill dance in a couple of days or weeks, as it requires a lot of experience and grueling efforts. Nevertheless, once you have improved your skill set to a certain level, it becomes relatively easier for you to learn the more advanced moves. The windmill break-dance originated in Bronx, N.Y., where the Rocksteady Crew’s Crazy Legs unintentionally performed the moves while doing a backspin.

The most important thing in the windmill break-dance is the balance and positioning of your body. Facing the ground, you should place your left elbow in the centre of your abs and make sure that your forearm is at a right angle to your body. If you are right handed, then you should do the opposite.

Note that it is necessary that you should spin clockwise otherwise there will be little charm in the windmill break-dance. For this, you will have to take a little jump and then drop back to the surface. It is important that you keep control over your body, otherwise you can fall down and get injured.
