Breakdance Toprock

This dance moves the legs: a full-body photo looks best, and we draw the legs in if they’re missing.

Toprock is the standing footwork that opens a breaking routine, before dancers go down to the floor. Breaking began at Bronx block parties in the 1970s, and its basic toprock is the Indian step.

What is toprock in breaking?

The footwork done standing up, which opens a set and shows a dancer’s style before they go down to the floor for footwork, power moves and freezes.

Is breaking an Olympic sport?

It debuted at the Paris 2024 Olympics, but it is not on the program for Los Angeles 2028.

Is MoveMyPhoto free?

Yes. You can make 1 video a day without signing up, and 3 a day after you sign in. Free videos have a MoveMyPhoto watermark. Failed or blocked videos don’t count.

What photo works best?

A clear, well-lit photo of one adult with the whole body in frame looks most like you. Selfies, half-body photos, stickers, drawings and even a scene with no one in it work too: we draw the missing body or a person into the scene first, which adds about a minute.

How long does a video take?

Usually about 10 minutes; it can take longer when many people are making videos. You don’t have to wait on the page: your video is saved in My videos.
