Hey, you asked for a 5 year old that can combine six-step, windmills, turtles, and finish into a freeze. The basics.
I showed a video of a 12 year old who can do and mix into various combinations headspins, halos, 90's, 2000s, flares, air tracks, 1 handed air tracks, airbabys, and still end it with a freeze. A lot of the moves make the windmills look ancient in comparison. All that as proof that if this kid can do these at that age, he was probably able to do the basics at a younger age.
I think it's really just preference and what might really be bothering you is thinking that people are considering what the Jabba's do as the standard of what "good/great" dancers are supposed to be able to do.
The Jabba's probably come from all different styles of street dancing, so a good amount or all of them probably began from B-Boying. Now would they last in a pure B-Boy battle competition with the top crews in the world? Definitely not. But it would be pretty difficult for the best pure BBoy crews in the world to hang with the choreography at the level of the Jabba's and other crews.
So Breakin' is hard, choreography is hard, and sh.it even Ballet is hard. My take is that it's all just preference and a lot of dances are as impressive as others and as difficult. Except for The Jerk. Fu.ck that sh.it.
