1/31/2026: Head spins have gotten more consistant. It turns out that my hat is better for spin than a beanie. Naturally after this revelation I bought a spin hat. So, once that comes in I will start really spinnin. I also have been working on new footwork patterns. I have been getting really good with my headstand freezes as well. Overall, good couple weeks of light practice. Breaking does give my body another way to express itself besides climbing. Even though climbing may feel like a dance and a form of expression, breaking has the special connection to music that climbing lacks which is really unique. Basically, Dance is sick.
1/13/2026: This week I was able to head spin for one rotation and catch it! It was so surreal. It even got a few of my 8th graders to take up the challenge of doing a headspin. Now I must work on getting it consistant. However, I hurt one of my neck muscles today. So, I will lay off the headspins and work on some footwork basics and combos I saw in some battles last year.
1/8/2026: I am not sure how to format this yet, but I will be documenting my casual progression in Breaking. This week I almost hit a head spin. Pics to come!
