back in 2024, watching this video, we see that the dancers of now lack soul in the dance, their dance only speaks of sport, competition and power but releases less and less groove and soul, this makes It's been a long time since we heard a James Brown in a battle... this video is a timeless inspiration, whether it's music, personality, flow, character, makes my heart beat as a bboy, thx Bboy Born
yes there are.the basics are freestyle,jerks, and burns. freestyle is what you do before the break of the song comes and has a very salsa feel to it. now when the break of the song comes that when hit jerks(front jerks,side jerks, half jerks,full jerks etc) followed by burns.this only basics though as you get deeper into the dance you have to develop control over your body so that you dont touch the person your rocking against and crossing the apache line. look up king uprock
if you look closer mr apollo landing scientist, caster was wiping his nose (hence the little nerd outfit he was rocking at the time. It suited the character of his gear) and born wiped his eye to the lyrics of the beat. Gotta rock the lyrics and beats if you want to be a great rocker.
Rocking imo probably just as much fun as breaking. Theres the apache line... then you HAVE to break from start of the song to finish... then you're dancing with your opponent, making up random burns OH MAN.. fun fun haha
@girtisholland I don't understand how that can be called biting. I've never seen ken swift rock to this song before and even I do the baby part automatically lol.
His name is born only because, He kills so much beats, then after he top rocks, it causes earthquakes which send waves to the martains above and they give life to more songs to born. He kills songs, only so they can reborn again. BBOY BORN
Why are you judging a dance you dont know anything about? Are you a bboy? at 96 years old im surprised you're still alive. You're disrespecting all of us bboys/bgirls saying that kind of shit. Footwork isn't original? Footwork is the rawest part of bboying, other components of bboying are comparable to other dances but footwork didn't exsist before bboying, its the thing that sets the dance apart from the rest, I would say thats pretty original.
its true, i think it should be only considered biting when you copy like a full routine, but sampling is a different story. If i do what born just did in the video for like 3 min yeah then thats obviously biting..
correct me if im wrong, but the OGs that teach me tell me that rockdance is what they first called uprocking. like the original uprock, not the battle/fighting uprock us bboys use in battles.
toprock is dance you can freestyle and everything but its only for you to get down to footwork. uprock is more diffrent. your dancing but your staying up the whole time. but there things in uprocking you dont normally do in toprocking. look at CRAZY LEGS toprocking, then look at DYNASTY ROCKERS uprocking. if its confusing let me know
Okay...here we go...His freestyle steps are okay...Very basic...what you wanna do is combine footwork and hand movements at the same time...decent skips...definitely bboy style...but there is a difference when it comes a ROCK style...not bad! Dont worry I have workshop in Korea at Rivers Studio April 22nd...Ill give him help... After that...woohooo..carzy crazy!
What I wonder about ppl who comment on youtube on bboy vids and claim that they're bboys themselves, I want you guys to tell me the names of top rock, footwork, freezes, and powermoves. Just curious. every move in bboying has a name, you just don't move randomly in a cool way. there are certain ways in doin stuff until you have some way to make it part of your style. so anyone please tell me what you know.
hey i thought that there were different styles of uprock... that old school uprock you touch the ground, but some style you only have to go half way if at all... Wat born is doing her does look more like toprock....
btw dudes, this is rock dancing. This is the type of dance u use brooklyns for. I don't get it much myself, but top rocking and this is DISTINCT-ually different.
but i just love this shit. i wish bboys would uprock more. if there's one thing where you can show attitude and style is in your uprock...keep on rockin' !

I watched this video 12 years ago, and now im back for the nostaliga, man was I inspired by this guy.
hell yeah! i'm seeing this for the first time. what a legend.
You a legend for coming back to this 12 years later. Born definitely one of the greatest bboys ever.
Watching again today, it's awesome.

“My style, my flavour” - Bboy born
When someone tells you it's not a form of dance and it's just people spinning on their heads...
2021년에 봐도,,,, 간지가 지린다. 이,,지림은 죽을때까지 변치않을것이다.
man, toprocking that long is hhaarrdd. .plus he still keeps his creativity.. creative endurance. hahha.
He's just dance on toprock, he's way too awesome man!!!!!
I see Born, I click... Its that simple
I remember when this first came out...fuck time flies
No crazy power moves needed Born is just natural at killin' footwork
always fresh and ready to rock
2024
bboy Born rulezzz! I love his style..
Born boy,you is my inspiration.Peace from Brazil.
Coming back in 2020. This is the video that got me into bboying back in 2008
Love the cuddling the baby on the 'baaaabbyyy' lyric. That is one of the original rocker styles.
The flava in a bboy that i have seen, the great bboy born the legend
Rock dancing? I just see born doing what he always does, his good ol toprock~
yes there are.the basics are freestyle,jerks, and burns. freestyle is what you do before the break of the song comes and has a very salsa feel to it. now when the break of the song comes that when hit jerks(front jerks,side jerks, half jerks,full jerks etc) followed by burns.this only basics though as you get deeper into the dance you have to develop control over your body so that you dont touch the person your rocking against and crossing the apache line. look up king uprock
This guy love the dance and i love him .
this was 2 minutes and 33 seconds of entertainment, born is the sickest out there!
2023
style is every thing :)
if you look closer mr apollo landing scientist, caster was wiping his nose (hence the little nerd outfit he was rocking at the time. It suited the character of his gear) and born wiped his eye to the lyrics of the beat. Gotta rock the lyrics and beats if you want to be a great rocker.
i miss this style..
I know that bboyborn is gone, not see the race for a long time.
Rocking imo probably just as much fun as breaking. Theres the apache line... then you HAVE to break from start of the song to finish... then you're dancing with your opponent, making up random burns OH MAN.. fun fun haha
born , is hella dopeeee and clean !
he's like my idol and influence (:
@girtisholland I don't understand how that can be called biting. I've never seen ken swift rock to this song before and even I do the baby part automatically lol.
2:00 he was drying his eyes. (to the music....)

for uprocking, trickx is hella sick. you guys should look him up.
His name is born only because,
He kills so much beats, then after he top rocks,
it causes earthquakes which send waves to the martains above and they give life to more songs to born. He kills songs, only so they can reborn again.

"give it up or turn it loose" by james brown
btw dudes, this is rock dancing. This is the type of dance u use brooklyns for. I don't get it much myself, but top rocking and this is DISTINCT-ually different.
Nice video direct
Yeah !!!!!!!!!
u win. now tell me how i get these eyes for dancing.
@MaSTAChO87 james brown give it up or turn to loose ( its only one song)
No he's doing something different here, and toprocking was influenced heavily by uprocking which came almost ten years before bboying was around.
but i just love this shit. i wish bboys would uprock more. if there's one thing where you can show attitude and style is in your uprock...keep on rockin' !
