Chris Nho - How to 6-Step Clockwise

General information:
No one gets a move the first try. Having a fluid 6-step is going to take practice, eventually the movements will feel familiar. The 6-step is broken down into six different moves.

Start off position:
Start off in a push up position, except spread your legs apart by about a yard (you will later find that the more distanced they are, the more dynamic the move looks).

Step 1):
You will need to place the right side of your right foot about two feet to the left of your left hand. This will cause your left leg to bend, which is perfectly fine. Release your left hand and your body should now be in a slightly sideways position.

Step 2):
Now stick the lower part your left shin (somewhere close to your foot and shin) into the crevice of your right leg (which I will refer to as the legpit). Your left arm should still be up, but slightly less tilted than the last step.

Step 3):
“Unwind” your right leg and bring it so it is parallel to your other leg, which should still be bent. Your left hand should already be down and you will find yourself in a crab position.

Step 4):
Move your left leg clockwise so that your legpit is now making contact with your right shin, but make sure it is low enough so that your foot is still touching the ground. By the end of this step, you should be in the exact same position as the end of step 2, except it is occurring on the other side.

Step 5):
Just how your once moved your shin into your legpit, move your right foot back as much as you can but make sure both legs create a 60 degree angle. While your foot is moving, your right arm should come up and be in the air.

Step 6):
The last move of the 6-step is to move your left foot back, so that you are once again in the start position (pushup). As your leg is making this movement, put your right hand down to keep balance.

And there you have it! You now know how to 6-step. Practice hard and start slow, making sure you know each move. Good luck!

***Notes***

Once you have the basic steps, keep these few things in mind:

  • Try to never have your whole foot on the ground, instead try to make sure only parts of your foot are making contact. This will give it a quicker look.
  • There are several variations that can occur in the 6-step, be creative and explore new moves. If you are really interested, look up how to do CC’s, swipes, and other #-steps.

  1. Dear Christopher Loud Merciful Noise Nho,
    I have read over your exquisite how to. It was very informative and I feel that I could become a bgirl before the day is over. There is one aspect that I found a little confusing. It is kinda hard to visualize all of the steps, so it would be nice if you could add pictures of each step. I also like your unique lingo “legpit”.

    As far as LOC goes… it looks pretty solid to me. I think the biggest thing you need to add is pictures.
