    The 5 common Knee Drop mistakes and how to fix them:
    Mistake #1: Dropping to your knee first
    Fix: Make sure to drop to your toe that is hooked behind the leg that will be going down to a knee before touching your knee
    Mistake #2: Squatting into your knee drop (dropping straight down into a knee drop)
    Fix: Treat the knee drop as a forward lunge and allow your body to travel forward into your knee drop.
    Mistake #3: Crunching in or leaning back when going down to your knee drop
    Fix: Keep your back straight the whole time your travel towards the ground
    Mistake #4: Trying to stay center while dropping to your knee
    Fix: Allow your body to travel slightly in the direction of the foot that is hooked (e.g right leg is up and dropping to left knee, travel slightly to your right)
    Mistake #5: Allowing your hooked foot to travel somewhere else vs. remaining glued to the back of your knee drop leg
    Fix: Keep your foot hooked the entire time while traveling to the ground

    Zulu Spins are a basic footwork technique that can be used to travel or create a speed dynamic in your footwork
    Tips for mastering the Zulu Spin:
    -Similar to a CC, roll on the side of the foot to the toe of the leg that is straight
    -Instead of stopping your momentum like in a CC, continue the rotation all the way around your straight leg from heel to toe back to heel
    -Once you get into the push-up position, place the leg that is up somewhere close to your center so it will be easier to place your center of gravity onto
    -Once the foot that was in the air is placed down, sit on top of your heel and center your body weight above it
    -IMPORTANT: Wherever you place your foot down, you must center your body over it so you can balance on top of it to complete your rotation

  • How To Breakdance - Footwork - 3 Common CC's Mistakes and How To Fix Them (#1 Is The Most Common)
    In this beginner’s breakdance Footwork tutorial you will learn about 3 common CC mistakes and how to fix them (plus one extra less common mistake)
    Want Mirrored Versions Of All Of My Tutorials? - Join My Patreon Community
    ➜ https://www.patreon.com/Darrenrwong
    The 3 common CC mistakes and how to fix them:
    Mistake #1: Returning to a flat-footed position after hitting the CC on the side
    Fix: Make sure to return to sitting on your heels and stay on your toes when resetting back to center
    Mistake #2: Reaching too far away from your body
    Fix: When placing your hand down, make sure your shoulder and hand are in as straight of a line as possible to get the most leverage especially since you will be depending on your arm more for CC's
    Mistake #3: Over-rotation of the hips
    Fix: When you CC to the side, try your best to have your hips in a straight up and down line vs. over rotating so your butt is in the air
    *Less Common Mistake #4: Keeping chest up and forward the entire time
    Fix: focus on allowing your chest to travel side to side naturally (this could be a style choice but for learning the basic CC, focus on rotating your chest)
