Is it true that shorter people have an easier time breakdancing than taller ones? If so, why?

Are you good? B-boying has evovled like ten fold from when I was in six grade and used to break. The poses, and all that crap they do now is unbelievable. You have to take gymnastics to even catch up.

I don't want to do it myself, it's to settle an argument with a friend who thinks that height doesn't matter.

i think it depends on what you're trying to do. If you're doing some of the skywalking stuff, i think starting out being shorter will help but once you get good, the longer legs will give you more momentum and it'll be easier. And also w/ longer legs you can do cooler looking tricks

I've never tried breakdancing but I was a gymnast. You won't find many tall gymnasts!
