II. OVERVIEW
HIPHOP can be defined in many ways. It is a blend of different styles of street dance and

crews, the hip hop dance evolves and continues to transform itself.
Every team will perform their ultimate dance moves in a variety of dance styles like B-
boying, Shuffling, Popping and Locking, Tutting and Krumping.

POPDANCE is a popular music sub-genre that originated in the early 1980s. It is

generally up tempo music intended for nightclubs with the intention of being danceable but also
suitable for contemporary hit radio. It is generally characterised by strong beats with easy,

form dance genre, with an emphasis on melody as well as catchy tunes.
