    Hip-hop dance originated in New York City in the late 1960s and early 1970s, drawing inspiration from African dance movements. It began as a street dance performed for crowds but later incorporated elements of modern, tap, and swing dance. While the East Coast developed hip-hop dance first, the West Coast soon created its own style as well. The genre fuses influences from older street dances and combines complex movements and music into an artistic performance.

    Hip-Hop

    History
    By: Madi, Paige, Molly, Hayley
    Where Did It Begin?
    The early history and roots of hip-hop dance are most often associated with its
    beginning on the East Coast, specifically New York City. But the West Coast
    also formed its own style of the East Coast hip-hop dance around the same
    time.
    When did it begin?
    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 swing, integrating music and complex
    movements to form artistry.
    What kind of dance?
    Hip-hop dance is a fusion dance genre with influences from older street
    dance styles created in the 1970s. These include uprock, breaking, and the
    funk styles. Breaking was created in The Bronx, New York in the early 1970s.
