Breaking Foundations with Ephrat AKA B-girl Bounce
In
this video Ephrat will teach you the foundations of b-boying/b-girling (a dance
also known as breaking), including freezes, top rock, drops to the floor, basic
footwork steps and patterns. You will be introduced to steps such as
the 6-step, the baby swipe, the chair freeze and much more. Ephrat’s
easy going style will help you learn how to feel more comfortable free-styling.
With time and practice, you will add your own flava to these steps and keep
them as part of your growing dance vocabulary, enriching your work as a dancer
and giving you a strong base from which to begin your training in this raw
and powerful dance.
Ephrat Asherie has trained extensively in ballet and modern
dance, but has found her calling in the street dance forms of b-girling (breaking),
hip-hop and house. She has performed throughout the US, Italy and Peru and is
co-founder of the Concrete Soul Dance Company. Ephrat has appeared on MTV, Comedy
Central and Fox and has been featured in Dance Spirit Magazine, Suede Magazine
and the We B*Girlz book. Ephrat was awarded a grant from the Puffin foundation
for the founding of a hip-hop dance program at the Grant Houses After-School
Program in Harlem, New York.
