1.What is Hip Hop?

Hip-hop dance refers to street dance styles primarily performed to hip-hop music or that have
evolved as part of hip-hop culture. It includes a wide range of styles primarily breaking which
was created in the 1970s and made popular by dance crews in the United States. The
television show Soul Train and the 1980s films Breakin', Beat Street, and Wild Style
showcased these crews and dance styles in their early stages; therefore, giving hip-hop
mainstream exposure. The dance industry responded with a commercial, studio-based
version of hip-hop—sometimes called "new style"—and a hip-hop influenced style of jazz
dance called "jazz-funk". Classically trained dancers developed these studio styles in order
to create choreography from the hip-hop dances that were performed on the street. Because
of this development, hip-hop dance is practiced in both dance studios and outdoor spaces.
The commercialization of hip-hop dance continued into the 1990s and 2000s with the
production of several television shows and movies such as The Grind, Planet B-Boy, Rize,
StreetDance 3D, America's Best Dance Crew, Saigon Electric, the Step Up film series, and
The LXD, a web series. Though the dance is established in entertainment, including mild
representation in theater, it maintains a strong presence in urban neighborhoods which has
led to the creation of street dance derivatives Memphis jookin, turfing, jerkin', and krump.
1980s films, television shows, and the Internet have contributed to introducing hip-hop dance
outside the United States. Since being exposed, educational opportunities and dance
competitions have helped maintain its presence worldwide. Europe hosts several
international hip-hop dance competitions such as the UK B-Boy Championships, Juste
Debout, and EuroBattle. Australia hosts a team-based competition called World Supremacy
Battlegrounds and Japan hosts a two-on-two competition called World Dance Colosseum.
What distinguishes hip-hop from other forms of dance is that it is often "freestyle"
(improvisational) in nature and hip-hop dance crews often engage in freestyle dance
competitions—colloquially referred to as "battles". Crews, freestyling, and battles are
identifiers of this style. Hip-hop dance can be a form of entertainment or a hobby. It can also
be a way to stay active in competitive dance and a way to make a living by dancing
professionally.

2.Fundamental Movements in Hip-Hop.

A.Breaking ( Break Dance )
Breaking, also called breakdancing or b-boying/b-girling, is an athletic
style of street dance from the United States. While diverse in the amount
of variation available in the dance, breakdancing mainly consists of four
kinds of movement: toprock, downrock, power moves and freezes.
Breakdancing is typically set to songs containing drum breaks,
especially in hip-hop, funk, soul music and breakbeat music, although
modern trends allow for much wider varieties of music along certain
ranges of tempo and beat patterns.
B.Popping

Popping dance is a style of dance that started in the late 1960’s and
70’s.This dance style is characterized by sudden tensing and releasing of
the muscles ("hitting") to the rhythm of beats in music.Origins of dance
styles can get tricky, because OG’s have different accounts and
interpretations of that story according to their regions and circles of
influence.While there are several moving parts of Popping's history that
sometimes conflict or overlap, one clear part of the dance style's origin is
that it started among groups of teenage friends in deindustrializing parts of
the city.The dancers would come up with moves, practice them, then show
them off at clubs or in dance battles.In addition to being a hobby, Popping
dance gave dancers an escape, an identity, and a family.Over time, the
word “Popping” (which is also often referred to as “hitting,”) started being
used to describe the collection of moves and techniques invented by the
OG Poppers.
C.Locking

Locking is a style of funk dance, which is today also associated with hip
hop. The name is based on the concept of locking movements, which
basically means freezing from a fast movement and "locking" in a
certain position, holding that position for a short while and then
continuing at the same speed as before. It relies on fast and distinct arm
and hand movements combined with more relaxed hips and legs. The
movements are generally large and exaggerated, and often very
rhythmic and tightly synced with the music. Locking is performance
oriented, often interacting with the audience by smiling or giving them a
high five, and some moves are quite comical.
D.Krumping

Krumping is a street dance that evolved from Clown Dancing or C-

Walking. It originates in Los Angelas, California in the South Central
neighborhood. It is impossible to talk about Krumping and its history
without mentioning Clowning.Clowning started in 1992 when Tommy the
Clown started attending birthday parties as entertainment. He was the
hip-hop dancing clown. He had kids young and old alike droppin’,
poppin’,, and rollin’ with it. Tommy is a ghetto celebrity that helped his
community by being a role model and acting as a father figure for many
young dancers.The clowning movement took off and today there are
over 50 clowning groups. There are the House of Clowns, Cartoon
Clowns, World Wide, No Comparison, Titanium, and Rice Track to name
a few. A clown group entertains, shows up to parties, and performs in
shows. These clown groups feel they are doing something positive in a
place where there is a lot of negativity.
E.Tutting (Tetris)

Tutting is the kind of hip hop style that uses the body’s ability to
create geometric shapes, positions (such as boxes) and movements,
predominantly with the use of right angles. It generally focuses on the
arms and hands, and includes the very famous finger tutting!
Finger-tutting is a type of dance that involves intricate movements of
the fingers. The word "tutting" is a street dance style based on
angular movements which are supposed to stylize the poses seen on
reliefs in the art of ancient Egypt, and refers to "King Tut "
