Q: I want to learn to breakdance. Where do I start?
A: Check around your city to see if there are any classes. If you live in Toronto, click on the classes link. That's the easiest way, more below. If you can't find any classes, try to befriend a local b-boy or b-girl and ask him/her to teach you some basics. Maybe even offer some money for their time, and ask for a one-on-one lesson. You can also pick up moves by watching DVDs and videos online. Once you have a top/uprock and some basic floorwork, you're on your way. Keep practicing and be creative.
