WHAT IS CONTEMPORARY DANCE?

Hip-hop is a dance style, usually danced to hip-hop music, that evolved from
the hip-hop culture. The first dance associated with hip-hop was break
dancing. While breakdancing consists primarily of moves executed close to the
ground, the majority of hip-hop moves are performed standing up. What is hip-
hop dance, exactly? Let's begin by learning about the roots of this form of
dance.
Hip-Hop Culture

Hip-hop developed from several cultures including jazz, rock, tap, and
American and Latino cultures. Hip-hop is a very energetic form of dancing. It is
unique in that it allows its dancers to perform with freedom of movement,
adding in their own personalities. The hip-hop culture is influenced by the
following four elements: disc jockeys, graffiti (art), MCs (rappers), and B-boys
and B-girls.

Get Moving with Hip-Hop Dance

Hip-hop dance steps require skill and experience to perfect. Hip-hop dancers
practice a lot in order to master basic steps and movements that appear simple
when performed. Dancers with a good sense of rhythm find it easier to learn
hip-hop steps.

Breakdancing

Breakdancing is a form of hip-hop that many people enjoy watching, as it has

cool moves and quick spins. Breakdancing moves take a lot of time and
practice to master, particularly the ones performed near the ground, called
"down rock" moves. "Uprock" moves, which are performed standing up, give
breakdancers a chance to incorporate their own styles. The roots of this dance
form began in the 1970s in New York City -- the South Bronx to be exact.

Keith "Cowboy" Wiggins, who belonged to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious
Five is said to have come up with the term in 1978. Learn more about the
history of breakdancing.

Learning Hip-Hop

Hip-hop classes have popped up in dance studios around the country. In fact,
most offer hip-hop dancing along with ballet, tap, jazz, and modern dancing.
Teens are particularly interested in learning how to dance like dancers they see
on MTV and in music videos. Dance teachers have capitalized on this interest
and have started incorporating hip-hop and breakdancing classes into their
curriculums. Many people with roots in hip-hop culture feel that hip-hop
dancing should not be formally "taught." They feel that teaching specific moves
takes away from the originality factor that hip-hop possesses. Still, it may help
you get comfortable if you learn some popular moves like the Running Man or
the Charlie Brown.
The style of hip hop are divided into 2 groups:
Main styles / Old School
# Breaking

Breaking is also generally referred to breakdance. As a dance style that

combines 3 main elements: acrobatics, gymnastics and rhythm. The break
dance is one of the most popular styles of hip hop dance that was developed as
a body response to the beat box.

# Locking

Locking is a type of dance very similar to popping. Its fast and exaggerated
movements of hands and arms stand out. The name of this style is based on
the term 'lock' which means block. This style of dance is characterized by its
continuous blocks, elements of interpretation, mime, and acrobatics.

# Popping

Popping is a dance style that emerged in Fresno, California. It is characterized

by its robotic elements contracting the muscles of the body. It is very important
to dance it with the right music to be able to dance it and that the movements
of the body adapt to it. It is generally danced with the musical genres of funk,
electro and house.

# Swing Beat or New Jack Swing

Musical genre that unites soul music and Hip Hop, with rhythmic and rap
bases. It was a genre of transition, which opened the doors to the public to the
sounds of R & B and Hip Hop today. As a result of this style a multitude of
dance steps are born that are placed in clubs and discotheques, and from there
is born the so-called Hype, which is also a form of expression of hip hop.

# Krumping

Krumping is originally from California. It is characterized for being a free dance

where the movements are more abrupt and strong. It is generally represented
in competitions. The music of this style is very essential as it marks the rhythm
and expression of the dancer.
If you like to dance with a lot of strength and expression, Krumping is for you!

# New Style

Due to the evolution of hip hop in the 90s, its great success on stage and its
new musical trends that generated great interest from the press and television,
was created the new style of dance qualified New School called New Style (New
York) and L.A Style (Los Angeles). The New style is characterized by
the combination of elements of the main styles such as Jazz, Indian, African
and any other dance style.

# Jazz- Funk

genre that allows you to dance madly and fiercely.

Benefits of Hip-Hop to One’s Health

Hip-Hop demands a range of energetic bodily movements and can really

take it out from an individual. However, a little effort goes a long way and
regular workouts will greatly improve one’s body’s stamina over time.

More flexible hands, feet, and joints

As opposed to many traditional dances, Hip-Hop dancing moves may

require the participant’s hands to support their body weight, as well as the
feet and leg joints. Regular Hip-Hop exercise will strengthen these areas over
time and greatly improve their flexibility.

Once an individual master the basics of hip-hop dancing and start to

learn some nifty tricks, his/her mental self-confidence will improve tenfold.
His/her body will feel healthier and happier, whilst this fun exercise will clear
his/her mind of any lingering cobwebs.

The often complex routines that hip-hop dancing requires may be hard to

an individual will soon find that concentration and spatial awareness come to
him/her more naturally.
