Freeze (b-boy move)

A freeze is a b-boying technique that involves halting all body motion, often in an interesting or balance-intensive pose, for a few seconds.

Freezes often incorporate various twists and distortions of the body into stylish and often difficult positions.

Various handstands ("inverts", "Nikes", and "pikes") can be frozen, and skilled breakers sometimes incorporate the technique of threading into handstands by forming a loop with one arm and leg, then "threading" the other leg in and out of the loop.

A common naming convention categorizes freezes based on what part of the body is in contact with the ground.

Also, "one-handed" or "two-handed" can be added to make any name more descriptive.
