This is an FM tutorial on how to learn the swipe. The swipe is one of the first really cool breakdancing techniques and requires a medium level of experience. When learning the swipe, you only need to be careful with your wrists and ankles. Being able to do a handstand and not being significantly overweight helps. Normally, each following swipe starts a bit more clockwise. The swipes in the FM animation are done on the spot (this just makes it easier to illustrate important details – “OK for one swipe”). If you want to do multiple swipes in a row, be sure to watch the instructional videos.
This instruction is for a clockwise swipe (turning to your right). Remember: When performing a swipe, you always turn your torso 180°, then stop and turn your legs 180°. To do multiple swipes in a row, simply start over and twist your torso again after finishing the leg rotation, and continue repeating.
