02 — ABOUT
WHAT IS ONESUP?
Online private lesson by BBOY HAYATO1.
In addition to learning the basics and skills of breakin' and dance, I give specific advice for each person's own dance style, share practice methods and talk through whatever you are stuck on — drawing on everything HAYATO1 does best, the maximum support that is only possible because it is private.
Anyone with an internet connection and a space to dance is very welcome!
Bboys and bgirls of course, and dancers from any other genre too.
If you want to build good habits and grow through breakin' or dance, or if you want to sharpen your own dance style — let's aim high together!

Godown & Footwork & Legwork & Ground moves

Arm work and threads — the core of HAYATO1's hand style
- Basics and applied variations
- How to combine them with other areas — freezes, footwork, power moves
- Practice methods and ways to present that let you keep dancing even with a bad back or legs
Specific feedback from HAYATO1's perspective on your own moves, style and worries
- How to build a move and how to structure one move
- Advice on the moves (ideas) you have
- How to practice and how to stay motivated
- Being able to ask directly is the best part of a private lesson. I answer with everything my experience gives me

LESSON SYSTEM
Lesson schedule
MON — FRI / JAPAN TIME
- 14:30 - 15:30
- 16:00 - 17:00
- 17:30 - 18:30
- 19:00 - 20:00
- 20:15 - 21:15
- 21:30 - 22:30
All times are Japan time (JST / UTC+9). Because it is a private lesson the schedule is flexible — if none of these slots work with your time zone, get in touch and we will look for one that does. Slots are first come, first served, so please contact me early.
For the weekly courses the lesson slot is fixed every week (example: Monday 19:00–20:00 decided → that same slot every week). Lessons basically start from the beginning of the month. If you want to start mid-month you can take it at the 1 shot fee.
Question support by messenger
Between lessons I answer questions about techniques, moves, style and battle videos. LINE is used by default; if you don't use LINE, tell me which app you prefer.
Only for students on the once-a-week or more courses. If questions arrive that have clearly not been thought through even once on your own, I will point that out firmly — for your own sake.
Online lessons run on Google Meet
PC, tablet or smartphone all work. Since the lesson goes through a screen, I teach in a way that is built to read clearly on camera (full HD webcam). See what it actually looks like (Instagram)
My English is at an everyday-speaking level, not a native one. If something doesn't come across, we use Google Meet chat and Google Translate. Please only apply if you are fine with that lesson style.
Lesson flow (once-a-week course)
A cycle designed so that you feel growth in every week's lesson on the way to your long-term goal. It is adjusted each time based on what comes out of the hearing.
- 01Apply
- 02Schedule adjustment and payment
- 03Hearing, and a video check of one move (by DM)
- 04Lessons start — sharing technique, proposing practice methods and ways of thinking, setting goals
- 05Questions accepted after the lesson, keeping your motivation up through the week
- 06Feedback on the goal set last time
- 07Regular feedback on one moves, things you have built and battle videos — and the lesson content is tuned from there

07 — Q&A
Q&A
I'm a beginner, only a few months into breakin'. Can I take it?
Of course, yes. Since it is a private lesson I prepare a menu that takes each person's level into account. I have taught beginner breakin' classes myself, so even someone who has just started gets a lesson built to keep them motivated. Please feel free to join.
Will I be able to win battles if I take this course?
To be honest, there is no know-how that guarantees you win battles. In a dance battle people dance, people judge, and a lot of variables — the music, the air in the venue, things inside and outside your control — all mix together before a result is decided. What I do believe is that you can raise your win rate through preparation, accumulated experience and the number of things you learn. ONESUP supports you in raising that rate.
Who is ONESUP recommended for?
People who like freezes and trick combos / like detailed moves / want to build freezes because they feel weak there / want to learn how to dig deeper into a move and develop ideas / have a goal of getting results in battle / want the habit of building steadily — this is for you.
And who would you not recommend it to?
Because the system runs online through Google Meet, this is not a lesson in the format of enjoying yourself to the music. If you are looking for music-based style lessons, it will not match. It is also hard to get full value out of it without a stable internet connection. And my English is at an everyday-speaking level, not a native one — if something doesn't come across we use Google Meet chat and Google Translate.
