Airflare

The airflare is an advanced power move in breakdancing (breaking) that combines elements of spinning and balancing. It involves a dancer rotating their body in a circular motion while using their hands for support, creating the appearance of flying through the air. The airflare is known for its complexity and requires significant strength, coordination, and control.

Key Characteristics of the Airflare:

• Movement Technique: In an airflare, the dancer begins in a downrock position (on the floor) and shifts their weight onto one hand. They then kick their legs upward and away from the body, creating a circular motion while rotating around their body. The move typically alternates between hands as the dancer continues to spin.
• Body Positioning: The airflare requires the dancer to maintain a tight core and proper body alignment throughout the movement to achieve the desired height and control. The legs should be lifted and kicked out to enhance the illusion of flight.
• Momentum: Successful execution of the airflare relies on generating sufficient momentum and maintaining a fluid motion. Breakers often use their legs and hips to propel themselves into the spin, allowing for a smooth transition between rotations.
