Doing this can also help you figure out which leg you’d like to use as your “helicopter blade. " See which foot you’d rather swing all the way around your body, and which one you feel more comfortable crouching on.
However, it may be that you feel more comfortable crouching on your dominant leg and swinging around your other leg. You’ll have a better sense of what works best after you try a few times.
At first, you should do this slowly, but as you get the hang of it, you’ll be able to do it so quickly that it’ll almost look like your hands are leaving the ground at the same time.
Also, if your foot just keeps going around and around without touching the ground, you’ll be able to build more momentum and will gain speed, truly making your leg look like the blade of a helicopter.
Do the helicopter with your other foot out. Do the reverse helicopter, which is the same as the regular helicopter, except you’ll be moving your foot back behind you and around instead of in front of you and around. So, if you normally use your left foot, instead of swinging it forward and clockwise, you’ll have to move it backward and counter-clockwise. Transition into a more advanced break-dancing move. The helicopter is a basic break dancing skill, but the beauty of it is that it will allow you to transition into other more advanced tricks, such as the windmill, or the handstand.
