health?
Hip Hop Dance

revolves outside of dance studios
- Primarily performed to Hip hop music, a
genre of popular music.

- Hip Hop is a movement that represents
the freedom to learn, grow, and evolve.
It is still the same movement it was in
the 70's – the one that gave the
inner-city youth the motivation to live a
better life.
- Hip-hop dance began during the late
1960’s and early 1970’s, originally
inspired by the movements of African
dancing, and flourished as a new style
of dance performed on the street for the
people. Hip-hop incorporates aspects of
modern dance, tap, and
integrating music and complex
movements to form artistry.
- During the 80’s and 90’s, hip-hop dance
competitions became increasingly
popular with the emergence of “battles,”

BENEFITS OF GOOD NUTRITION:
- The benefits of good nutrition are
numerous, and even more so for
dancers. Constant training takes a toll
swing, on muscles, joints and bones.
- Good eating habits can improve the
recovery from such strain, and even
assist with lean muscle growth and soft
tissue repair.
- Eating the right foods can increase
energy, focus and concentration.
- Finding the proper balance of nutrients
not only prevents fatigue and injury, but
also supports a long healthy career in
dance.
Safety Protocol to avoid dehydration,
overexertion, hypothermia,hyperthermia
● Dehydration
In dancing hip hop, the dancer will no
longer be able to maintain their desired level of
exercise, as energy levels and performance will
rapidly decline. The risk of doing too much is a
condition known as burnout. Burnout is often
seen in dancers where training, rehearsing and
performing schedules do not give them sufficient
time to rest and recover.
Repetitive movements
- When you repeatedly move a joint or
muscle over a long period of time, it can
lead to overexertion. The repetitive
movements can put strain on your body,
leading to pain or discomfort
Improper technique
- Overexertion may stem from doing an
activity or task incorrectly. This can
place stress on your muscles, bones,
joints, and connective tissues and cause
overexertion injuries.
Sudden body movements
- A sudden, forceful movement can also
cause overexertion. This is more likely
to happen if your technique is incorrect.
- Abrupt movements that can lead to
overexertion injuries include:
1. Twisting
2. Bending
3. pushing
4. pulling
5. throwing
● HYPOTHERMIA
Being exposed to cold with proper
preparation, dress, monitoring, and maintenance
can be a comfortable, enjoyable, and rewarding
experience.
To minimize the risk of hypothermia and
prevent or reduce heat loss
- wear warm, dry clothing and
wear warm-when-wet clothing
such as pile or wool and dress
in layers with a wicking layer
adjacent to the skin
- followed by insulation layers and
an outer shell to minimize the
effect of wind and keep heat
inside
- To increase heat production,
increase activity or eat sufficient
amounts of carbohydrate before
and during activity.
● Hyperthermia
is usually caused by either heat
stroke or drugs.
Two types of heat stroke:
- Exertional Heat Stroke occurs when a
person is participating in a physical
activity, such as running or playing
sports, on a hot day.
- Non-exertional Heat Stroke being in a
hot environment leads to a rise in core
body temperature. This type of
heatstroke typically occurs after
exposure to hot, humid weather,
especially for prolonged periods.
