The Na Nach Swipe

When I first started breaking, I often betrayed my white girl curly haired Jewiness when I went in for the farewell handshake at the end of a practice. I would grasp the b-boys' hands as though we had just finished a job interview. If they thought I was "wack," they mercifully kept it off their face. After a couple of months, I finally learned a basic, non-embarrassing handshake, which I use at the beginning and end of breaking practices.

But after almost three years of breaking, perhaps I'm ready for something a bit more advanced- the Na Nach Swipe. Invented by the followers of the long dead Reb Nachman of Breslov, it's involves signing the Hebrew letters "Nun" and "Chet," the key components of the Breslovers chant- "Na Nach Nachman..."

Here's the YouTube tutorial.



How do you guys think this will go over with the Brooklyn b-boys? Do you think they'd find it fresh? Or wack? And should I include the chant and wear a large white yarmulke? Would that make me doper?
