2-step (breakdance move)

2-step (breakdance move)

The 2-step or Baby Swipe is a footwork sequence in breakdance. It is launched from the third step of the basic 6-step and involves the breaker hopping with the crouched leg (from step 3) while swinging the other straightened leg around, then rotating his body over the swinging leg with a quick, low, airborne twist of the hips reminiscent of a swipe. The move leaves the breaker in a position similar to the fourth step of the 6-step, but facing 180 degrees in the opposite direction.
