The Flare is a difficult breakdance power move borrowed from gymnastics. The breaker supports his body with his arms, swings his legs around his stationary torso in continuous circles, and never allows the legs to touch the ground. The move is also performed on a pommel horse or during the floor exercise in gymnastics, and is sometimes called a "Thomas flare"
Step-by-step
The left leg begins about 9 inches behind the right (not lined up). If the breaker already has momentum, he quickly puts down his left hand close to the left leg facing the fingers away from the body, towards the left. Next, the left is swung around as hard as possible while doing a jump (in order for the left leg to go through, the breaker practically attempts to kick his face with the right leg). Now the breaker is prepared to put down the right hand. Making sure all his weight shifts to the right arm, he kicks the left leg up as high as possible. The right leg swings under the left and then the left hand comes down in front, such that both hands are now in front. Arching his back and without touching the ground, the breaker kicks the right leg up again and swings the left leg around low for another rotation.
Air Flere
The Air Flare is an advanced move that is similar in theory to a flare or a windmill. While performing an Air Flare, the breaker is inverted with his torso at a 45 degree angle to the floor (angle can differ. the smaller the angle, the greater the difficulty, his legs in a V-shape, and his arms straight. The hands are the only body part that touch the floor as the move is being performed. The boy whips his legs, then arms around so that he travels in a circular path. There is dispute about whether this move is different from the Air Track. Some say that Air Flares have the body traveling on an x- and y-axis, while with an Air Track the body only travels on an x-axis. Others contend that the moves are one and the same, and that the name difference is merely based on the evolutionary history of the moves. It is suggested to not try this move based on this article, for the airflare can be dangerous.
There are many variations of the air flare. Some notable examples include B-boy Cico for his elbow-tip airflares, C4 for his leg-together air flare, Eagle One for his blind air flares to 1990 combo (this can be achieved by lifting one's shirt and covering the face with it), Rudolphe (and also Baek and KYS) for his lotus air flares, KYS "The End" for his one handed and one elbowed variations, Blonde for his toe touching airflares, BY for his clapping air flares, and Omar for his munching air flares (the "munch" effect can be achieved by positioning the legs in munch mills position in mid-flight)
