6-step

The 6-step is a foundational sequence of breakdance footwork. The b-boy uses his arms to support his body above the floor while his legs walk around in a circle।

The 6-step is foundational to breakdance not only because it is the first footwork sequence breakers often learn, but also because it remains the move around which many sets are structured. Many breakdance moves can begin from the 6-step. The move sets up the direction of rotation and builds momentum while imparting body control. The breaker stays low and in contact with the ground, which places him in perfect position for performing other moves. Each of the six distinct steps puts the body in a different position which can be used as starting points for other moves. Steps 1/2 and 3/4 (described below) are most often used for launching other moves. Conversely, any move which ends on the ground can be transitioned smoothly back into the 6-step.
The body position after step (2) and step (4) are mirror images of each other. Six step often involves looking straight ahead constantly and placing the feet in the same place for each rotation, but can be done with your body facing a different direction for each rotation.
While the basic 6-step resembles walking in a circle on the ground, there are many variations of footwork or "techs" that can reverse the direction of rotation, interlock limbs, incorporate minor flips, twists, kicks, shuffles, tweaks, and much more।
Step-by-Step

This description is for clockwise rotation.
As the name implies, there are a total of six steps in one rotation of the 6-step. A standard version begins in the push-up position with feet spread apart.
The left hand lifts, and the right foot is placed where that hand used to be.
As weight shifts onto the right hand and foot, the left leg is moved up into the crook of the right knee.
The right leg swings around in front of the right hand and comes down so that the breaker's legs are in a crab position. Meanwhile, he switches hands so that the left hand returns to the ground and the right hand flies up.
The left leg now swings around in a wide arc and wraps around the right.
The right leg moves back into its original push-up spot.
Lastly, the left leg pulls back while the right hand comes down to complete the push-up position. The breaker is now back in the starting position and may continue with step 1.

Toprock

Toprock is a major element of breakdance. It generally refers to any string of steps performed from a standing position, relying upon a mixture of coordination, flexibility, rhythm, and most importantly, style. It is usually the first and foremost opening display of style, and it serves as a warm-up for transitions into the more acrobatic maneuvers of downrock. Breakers may devote considerable time to developing their toprock, and the style they display is a point of pride.
It is a style of dance in and of itself, but it is very open to modification for individual style. For the same reason, it has come to incorporate elements that range widely from Liquid dancing to the Robot. In particular, uprock is a competitively-oriented type of toprock consisting of foot shuffles, spins, turns, and creative movements that may mimic combat. It was developed from the "Ginga", a footwork pattern used in capoeira, which was taught to youth in African-American community centers as a method of developing self-esteem and चरक्टेर
