Halo
Halos by ABgirl .

Halo, power move, a roll around the head starting and ending in a baby-like position.

History

The halo was developed by Icey Ice in 1983 . The name is derived from how the part of the head rolled around resembles a halo , and was in use by 1985 . Other names for the halo were "track" and "airtrack." A rotation around the head clockwise stabbing with the right hand (or counterclockwise stabbing with the left) is the standard halo, while the opposite direction can be considered a variation.
