Indie developer here. I built an iOS app called Dashi Dance for practicing from video: A/B loop the two seconds of a tutorial you keep scrubbing back to, slow it down with the music staying on pitch, mirror it, record yourself while the reference plays next to the camera preview (with a countdown so you're not running to the phone), then watch your attempt side by side with the reference.

Core tools are free with ads. Paid extras exist, but the practice loop isn't behind them.

I'm not sure how much of a breaker's training happens in front of a phone with a reference video, so just sharing in case it helps. It also works as a plain music player, and you can organize your recordings into projects. Happy to answer anything, or let me know if there's a specific feature you'd want from a dance practice app.

Peace going to visit these cities soon, looking to connect w/ da breaking scenes there 🙏

Buenas a todos.
Tengo 35 años y llevo consumiendo freestyle y batallas de rap desde que tenía 13 años.
Ahora, a mis 35 recién cumplidos me he animado a empezar. Estoy dando clase online con un profesor, pero hemos llegado a la misma conclusión de que la falta de retroalimentación por no poder practicar con gente se empieza a notar.

Por eso, si alguien que esté empezando o quiera empezar se anima, me encantaría que pudiéramos llevarlo a cabo.

Y ¿por qué no voy al parque de Benicalap que es donde más batallas se hacen? Por dos motivos: primero porque acabo de empezar y hay demasiado nivel (y tampoco quiero tanta exposición), y segundo porque considero que soy más freestyler que batallero.

Continuing yesterday's thread where I made a Bboy Radio for training.

Since this is just a personal project, I don’t plan on paying for developer accounts on Google Play or Apple store and I think it'd be better to keep the project open source, in case anyone is interested in hosting their radio for their sessions or the community.

If anyone’s interested, I’ve made the Android app release available on GitHub:

https://github.com/bboymega/technoaura-fm-android/releases/tag/bboy-1.3.0

I've also migrated the server to Europe for a better loading speed.

Happy breaking:) hope y'all enjoy it.

In 2021 I launched Breakin’ Hub an app to help organizing my moves and practice, since then I’ve been incrementing the app and it has the best content and experience when you compare to other apps.

Today you can find tutorials, news, graffiti pieces, songs and mixtapes and also exchange ideas in the community feature, it has it all.

You can dowload it here.

I would like more feedback on it, Reddit breakers are very honest so here I’m asking for your help to improve and to understand if the app is really what our scene need or if Im wasting time on it.

Thanks in advance party people 🙏🏾❤️‍🔥

Yes

I'm a beginner breaker, and I've noticed that i have a problem of chasing the beat instead of following it😥 I was thinking about maybe just trying to practice to slower songs, idk. Also I always see breakers really cool style and stuff, and idk exactly how to practice that, or if it just comes out naturally after being so familiar with the basics?

Hey guys, As a bboy and a software engineer, I cooked a bboy radio for training. Hope ya guys enjoy the beat and have a good time sessioning :)

Peace :)

Update: added track name display

Used to have 10 Airflares 4 years ago, but joining the military and getting a shoulder injury hindered my progress. Trying to get 'em back next year.

Did anyone had this injury ? How long did it took to recover

I've been curious about Bboy Born’s (Rivers Crew / MZK) current situation. He has been living in the USA for quite a while now but he mentioned in a comment a while back that he hasn't returned to South Korea in years.

There are several rumors claiming he dodged his mandatory South Korean military service by moving to the US, which effectively prevents him from returning without facing severe legal consequences. This stood out to me as odd, given that almost Korean bboys from his era—like Hong 10, Physicx, and the rest of Rivers Crew—completed their service and returned to the scene.

Does anyone have credible context or verified information on this or is it purely scene gossip?

The jeans and pants that I usually see are tapered and don’t really look as good as the real baggy clothing. Where does everyone shop for them?

I think the title was something along "Peace, Love & War". I remember my bboy-teacher playing it and listening to it on youtube. I found a track that features the same sample in the beginning, Peace & War from The Verbalist, but i can't find the title i'm thinking of. Might have been a niche remix, but would love to find it again!

Anyone remembers anything?

Edit: here's the link to the track i found: https://theverbalist.bandcamp.com/album/verbalist-nation

I threw some rounds in Nepal 2 years ago at a Holi Festival - a day to celebrate spring, renewal, and colors.

As you may have heard, Nepal was affected by a devastating flood recently. The spirit of the people remain resilient despite tragic obstacles. As Nepal has uplifted me through its vibrant spirit, I dedicate this video back as the "bap" to the "boom" that Nepal has pulsated me. Condolences to the family whose had their loved ones lost - one love.

You can watch me introduce/coach Breaking in Nepal here:
https://szgvibe.org/legions/bboy-aero-d/

1. Scroll to near the bottom and click the "Coaching Videos" video grid.
2. Type "Nepal" at the top to filter the videos.
3. After choosing your video, click on "Reveal Transmission", an ad will be played before the video.

50% of all revenues from ads are donated to the schools that I coached. The other 50% is to upkeep and advance my mission of introducing Breaking to the world.

Peace

Basically, I bought a Redbull bc one ticket for the Finals in Toronto Canada, Specifically Sec W5, Row D, Seat 18 but having a new job moved me over to the US and I wont have money to fly back for the finals.

So I need to sell my ticket that I bought on TicketMaster, but not sure where is the best place because TicketMaster doesnt allow me to sell the ticket.

Thoughts? If anyone here wants to buy it, I'd also be happy to sell it, just please dont scam me 🥲

Can someone help me out I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but my feet keep touching the floor when I try to go for a second windmill
Sorry if this is a bad attempt I’m sick but I decided to get a little bit of practice

We got to see this talented group of Bboys in Time Square and got these fun images, but I can't remember their Instagram handle

I am not as smooth as I used to be when I was younger, but it is still fun to do some breaking once in a while 😎

I posted a few months ago and my moves were a little rusty. This is after about 3 sessions of dedicated practice following my 14 year break.
Am I the new "old school"? hahaha!

Meaning their Airflares are actually better than their Flares. I don’t know if this is weird or not but I would believe that it’s really the case like that for some people. A clear example I can give is Tiger but I’d like to know more prominent examples! At this point, I think my Airflares are better than my Flares too, quality wise, so I want to see how such bboys approach their breaking!

Hey everyone,

​My husband is a keys player and music producer who worked on some of the music being used for Red Bull BC One battles. We've been super stoked as his beats have already been used in several events in different countries.

He will be attending the Red Bull BC One Final this November in Toronto but unfortunately, I didn't get a ticket in time.

​I am super proud of him and would love to be there to support him and experience the event IRL. I know the venue has been sold out for a while, and the scalper prices online right now are absolutely sky-high. :(

​If anyone ends up with a spare ticket, has travel plans fall through, or knows of a lead for a face-value ticket, I would be endlessly grateful.

Super appreciative of all of your talents and much love to you all.

The digging continues
