Toprock

If you're a beginner, you want to get this move down before you start
on anything else. Toprock is not technically difficult to do and
allows you to express your own style. Toprock is the thing people do
when their on their feet, before breaking the floor. Some people refer
to it as shuffling - its not really. The point of it is to form the
circle, get people's attention, and get some room to bust your moves.
There are all kinds of variations on this, but there is a proper way.
You don't really need to know how to do this, but it helps to be able
to go from Toprock to 6-step or power moves. The main thing is that it
looks good, keep with the hip-hop style, and relax. The proper Toprock
is a 4 step, 4 beat dance that's pretty simple to learn.

Start with your feet together standing up.
Step 1: Hop forward onto your right toe.

Step 2: Skip back onto your left foot, you can add a little hop/kick back

Step 3: Now your right foot goes behind you and to the left, your body can
turn with it.

Step 4: Your left foot skips back again and you're in the starting position.

Try it out and make it look good. Add your own style and attitude.
