The Top Rock is a combination of steps done while standing up. This is the entry dance that Bboys and Bgirls use to start their set. These steps are done before you do a power set or before you go down to the floor. This is the breaker's chance to show how well he or she can rock the beat and/or make gestures to intimidate their opponent. The object is to make a connection with the song either by gesturing on a horn or rhythm section while your feet usually step on the "snare" of the drum/beat section. Names of steps vary upon regions. There are an infinite amount of toprocks, you're limited only by your imagination. (Note: Uprock was a jazz/rock dance which influenced top rock, uprock is not toprock)
- Apache Step (commonly known as Indian Step but is wrong because there are several indian steps)
- Uprock (not a toprock but bboys sometimes incorporate uprock movements)
- Side Step
- Boyoing
- Power Step/Power Circle
- Power Step Hop
- Latin Rock (or Salsa Step)
- Derulo Rock
- Outlaw step
- Hip Twist
- 4 Corners
- Kick Step (a shortened 4 corners)
