Side roll

In breakdancing, the “Side Roll” is a ground move that involves rolling sideways across the floor. It’s a dynamic and fluid move that helps dancers transition between different positions and can add a stylish element to their routines. Here’s a basic breakdown of how a Side Roll is typically performed:

• Starting Position: The dancer begins by lying on their side or in a low, seated position. They may place one hand on the ground to support their weight.
• Initiation: To start the roll, the dancer tucks their head towards their chest and uses their hands and shoulders to push off the ground. The legs should be bent and positioned to help guide the roll.
• Execution: As the dancer rolls to the side, they aim to keep their body in a smooth, rounded position. The roll should flow seamlessly from one side to the other, using the momentum and body movement to guide the roll across the floor.
• Finish: The roll ends with the dancer coming back to their feet or transitioning into another move. The key is to maintain control and fluidity throughout the roll, ensuring that it looks smooth and effortless.

The Side Roll can be used in various ways within a breakdancing routine, either as a standalone move or as a transition between other moves. It adds a unique element of style and fluidity to a dancer’s performance.
