A Power Move is any type of move in Bboying which requires spinning and/or rotating in a way that can be done so in multiple rounds. All Power Moves (or series of a type of Power Move) can be connected in combos to form a "Power Combo". was the Float, Headmills, Flares, Airtwist,...etc and was the first Breakdancer to bring this style together with speed control and was considered the first king of combinations in 1984. Now Breakdancers all around the world has advance this Power Moves theory into a level beyond imagination. Breakdancers that use mostly (Power combos) in their sets are commonly known as "Power Heads". Example: Flare-Air Flare-Elbow Air Flare-Air Flare-1990 The possible number of combinations are endless and only limited by stamina, strength and imagination.
On American reality series America's Best Dance Crew, Ronnie from Super Cr3w & Full Force, performed a combination, with these moves in this order: Elbow Air Flare-Munchmill-Gorillas. Shane Sparks recalled hearing, there are only four people in the world that can do that combination.
* Air Flare An advance powermove starting from a 1990 or windmill or halo or headspin position. The bboy goes into a handstand with his body diagnal to the ground and legs spread out into a V-shape. The legs are swung, like windmills/halos, in a circular motion. Using the momentum, the bboy switches from arm to arm as the body rotates in the air. The most difficult part of this move is the switching of the arms (while in the air) while the back of the bboy is facing the ground (the circular leg swing is most important in a hand transfer). It is recommended that this move is tried on mats with a supervisor.
o Piked Airflare/Bongo Thunder: Airflare with the legs straight together, instead of V-shape.
o Munch Airflare: Airflare with the legs tucking in and kicking out, creating a "munch" motion.
o Lotus Airflare: Airflare done with the legs crossed over one another, in the lotus yoga position.
o One Legged Airflare: Airflare with one the legs sticking out while the other leg is bent in, looking like an L-shape. Sometimes it is done with the bent leg tucked into the shirt of the bboy.
o One Hand Airflare: Airflare using one arm.
o Elbow Airflare: Airflare with elbows.
o Forearm Airflare: Airflare with forearms.
o One Arm Elbow Airflare: Airflare using one arm but on the elbow.
o One Arm Forearm Airflare: Airflare using one arm but on the forearm.
o Airflare 1.5: instead of landing on your hands after doing one rotation of an Airflare/Airtrack, you keep your body rotating one half extra turn and land onto your back without the use of your hands. This is considered one of the most difficult and most dangerous of the Airflare/Airtrack moves.
o Elbow Airflare/Airtrack 1.5: instead of landing on your hands after doing one rotation of an Elbow Airflare/Airtrack, you keep your body rotating one half extra turn and land onto your back without the use of your forearms.
o Shoulder Airflare/Caveman: Airflare with shoulders.
