The key to reaching the Edge of Dancing

There are many kinds of Dance, one from the other genre is called Hip-Hop. Most people
usually love to learn more about Hip-Hop because it has a unique move and technique. In
Asia, most people still learning about it, and not many already “feel” that move. There are 3
kinds of Hip – Hop that usually used for the dancers. If you learn and practice much in these
3 kinds of Hip-Hop, this will lead you to be a good dancer. This style already becomes the
foundation of your skills.
First, L.A Style. This kind of dance is often used in battle dance. L. A Style is the hardest
style of Dance because we should move our body with the expression and following the
music lyric. Not many people can do this technique because it is hard to say the meaning of
the lyric or song to the audience with the dance or the expression. But, Western, they usually
use this style for daily practice with their group, so that they can feel the song and practicing
the expression.
Beside L. A Style, the other unique dance of Hip-Hop is Robotic. Robotic is when we dance
like a robot, not using facial expression and using the effect of the song to make a good effect
of our movement. The robotic style is using the beats of the music and using the effect of the
music to make a good move. Many western can do this but not many of them can do it
perfectly. This kind of dance is better if it uses by a group or team, if it personal dance or
solo, the effect of the dance or move is not working very well.
The third kind of Hip-Hop is Break Dance. Most of the people already know about his kind
of Dance. Break Dance is already well-known in teenagers and also in age 10 in Western.
This dance is called also the Street Dance. First, of this Dance, there is no theory or technique
to do break-dance, but the western boys usually jump from one place to another place and
they made freestyle of their style. This technique is usually used by the Boys because it can
increase the confidence level. But, some of the Break-Dancers are also girls, but not all of the
technique that the boys used or do is also used by the girls. Some of the dance or the
technique is not good for girls. This kind of style is usually used in battle dance or hip hop
freestyle challenges.
In conclusion, these three kinds of Hip-Hop are usually used in Battle dance. And most
Asians still learning about this style, and usually Indonesia already using this style to make
more confidence points to their style of dancing.
