hey..i was wondering if there is a "height" limit to breakdancing? cuz... some moves look really awkward for tall people o.o; like, my friend is pretty good at breakdancing, except, when he is doing footwork, it looks really uncomfy. :shock:

It's funny that you should bring this up. I'm actually a pretty average height myself, 5'10", but I know plenty of people taller than me who are far better than me. However, it is easier to pick up some moves if you're shorter. This is probably mostly based off of weight rather than height, but certain blow-ups and freezes can be easier for lighter people.

There's definately no height limit in breakdancing, but it helps a lot if your shorter. You'll most likely be lighter and footwork won't be as difficult. But big guys can be good too. Not every small, skinny guy is good at breakdancing.
