More times then not when you go to a session there's more sneakers squeaking on the floor, beats coming from the stereo, and heavy breathing. everyone is trying to get as good as fast as they can but they forget that we are dancers, we are dancing because its fun and we love it. so take a day off every few weeks and play some games to get you out of your normal training habit and have some fun.
1) HORSE (aka stacks)
heres how the game is played, everyone groups together and forms a circle. generally to keep the game going at an even keel we set it up like so (for the examples we'll use 1,2,3,4)
1
4 2
3
1+3 will be higher leveled bboys and 4+2 will be lower level bboys (that way when it gets to the end of the game its higher level freezes)
OR
the 1 is more than likely the worst at stacking and then 2 is a little better, 3 is better than 2, and 4 is the best at stacking so everyone gets a chance to do a freeze.
SOMEONE (any number for this we'll say 1) will start off with a freeze, (ex.) BABY FREEZE.
player 2 will then do the freeze player 1 did, and then add a freeze. BABY FREEZE>CHAIR FREEZE
*note* you can only add 1 freeze at a time unless your players stated different at the beginning of the game, more so if the players are higher level stackers
player 3 will then do all the freezes that player 1+2 did (in consecutive order) and then add a freeze BABY FREEZE>CHAIR FREEZE> HEAD STAND
player 4 ( i think you guys get the idea now) tries to do BABY FREEZE>CHAIR FREEZE> HEADSTAND> but when s/he goes to add on their own move >HANDSTAND they crash. Player 4 gets a letter (H)
BECAUSE PLAYER 4 MESSED UP AND CRASHED (receiving a letter) player 1 now gets a free move (meaning they start the new rotation with a new started freeze) FOREARM FREEZE
fast forward the rotation to player 4 FOREARM FREEZE>BABY FREEZE>HONG 10> AIRCHAIR........ since player 4 hit their freeze without crashing player 1 now has to continue the combination FOREARM FREEZE>BABY FREEZE>HONG 10> AIRCHAIR> HEADSTAND
the game continues until there is only 1 breaker standing
2)Tennis Titans
is very simple and can be done a multitude of ways. i choose to do it in the form of a cypher, everyone who is going to be playing this game needs to bring 2 tennis balls. what your going to do is take the tennis balls and lock them under your knees. (put them on the backs of your legs where your knee bends & heres the crazy part, bend your legs so they hold onto the tennis balls) Last person to release both tennis balls wins.First person starts it, the next person tries to beat their footwork. Of course with both tennis balls your footwork will not be super fancy but the game is about adapting to different challenges and using your legs at different lengths, you can drop 1 ball and continue playing.
3)King of the hill
Form a line. The bboy in the front of the line takes 10 steps forward and turns around.The lone bboy is now starting out as the king. The bboys in the line will battle the king 1 at a time, Challenger does 1 round, then the king attempts to beat the challengers set. Winner stays in the kings spot. First person to either beat every challenger or win 7 times is the winner.
4)Beat the bottle
A) Place a bottle on the floor. everyone does a set around the bottle. If you knock over the bottle you lose (can also do a 3 strike system) remember- easy sets don't get props.
B) Place water bottles on the floor in an octagon,try to make it as compressed as possible. Whoever knocks down a bottle gets a demerit. It helps with control.
