The most widely recognized ones are listed below. Out of the many 6-step variations, a few have a defined, repeatable pattern like the 6-step itself and therefore are recognized as footwork sequences in their own right. While the basic 6-step resembles walking in a circle on the ground, there are many variations of footwork or "techs" that can reverse the direction of rotation, interlock limbs, incorporate minor flares, twists, powermoves, freezes, tweaks, and much more.
Six step often involves looking straight ahead constantly and placing the feet in the same place for each rotation, but can be done with your body facing a different direction for each rotation. The body position after step (2) and step (4) are mirror images of each other. Conversely, any move which ends on the ground can be transitioned smoothly back into the 6-step. Steps 1/2 and 3/4 (described below) are most often used for launching other moves.
Each of the six distinct steps puts the body in a different position which can be used as starting points for other moves. The breaker stays low and in contact with the ground, which places him in perfect position for performing other moves. The move sets up the direction of rotation and builds momentum while imparting body control. Many break moves can begin from the 6-step. The 6-step is foundational to b-boying not only because it is the first footwork sequence breakers often learn, but also because it remains the move around which many sets are structured.
