Focusing on the process of a dancer's acquisition of a new technique in breakdance,<br>,"Inside Ninety", this longitudinal case study aims to disclose the process of skill acqui-<br>sition through practice. We conducted a fieldwork study (participant observation and<br>interviews) to analyze the dancer's endeavours to acquire and improve skills. By avoid-<br>ing the specification of goals and movements by the researchers, as is often the case<br>in experimental settings, we observed the development of movements in each practice<br>session. The results indicate that the process of acquisition of a new dance technique<br>consists not only of the refinement of a particular skill, but also of two other activities<br>;the exploration of new and original skill utilizing the characters of a particular skill, <br>and the arrangement of that skill so that it should fit into his full performance. The<br>process of an expert's acquisition of a particular technique is a complicated and creative<br>one, integrating each skill into a full performance.
