Introduction B-BOYING
Recreation is a therapeutic refreshment or relaxation of one’s body and
mind. Activities done for this purpose are called recreational activities. Its main
objective is to revitalize the physical, mental, social, and emotional aspects of a
person.
In today’s world which is full of stress and pressures, we all need to
engage in recreational activities to relieve our tensions.
Dance is a recreational activity that can develop our physical, mental,
social, and emotional health. Dancing as part of our lifestyle can surely sustain our
fitness. But it should be coupled with proper eating habits and weight
management in order for a person to live a healthy life.
Points so remember
Street dance refers to dance styles that have evolved outside of dance
studios. It is performed in streets, dance parties, parks, school yards, or in any
available space. It is often improvisational and social in nature, encouraging
interaction and contact with spectators and other dancers.
A full street dance is a collection of the various similar dance moves and
styles collected into one practice and regarded as the same dance.
Hip-hop is a cultural movement best known for its impact on music in the
form of the musical genre of the same name. It has its origins in the Bronx, in New
York City, during the 1970s, mostly among African Americans and some influence
of Latin Americans. Hip-hop culture is composed of the pillars such as DJ-ing,
rapping, breakdancing, and graffiti art.
Hip-hop dance, on the other hand, refers to street dance styles primarily
performed to hip-hop music or that have evolved as part of hip-hop culture. Hip-
hop music incorporates a number of iconic elements, most notably DJing and
rapping, along with things like beat boxing, sampling, and juggling beats on
turntables.
B-boying or breaking, also called breakdancing, is a style of street dance
and the first hip-hop dance style that originated among Black and Puerto Rican
youths in New York City during the early 1970s. A practitioner of this dance is
called a b-boy, b-girl, or breaker. Although the term breakdance is frequently used
to refer to the dance, b-boying and breaking are the original terms.
Four Movements:
Toprock - footwork-oriented steps performed while standing up
Downrock - footwork performed with both hands and feet on the floor
Freezes - stylish poses done on your hands
Power moves - comprise full-body spins and rotations that give the illusion of
defying gravity
POPPING
Popping was popularized by Samuel Boogaloo Sam Solomon and his crew
the Electric Boogaloos. It is based on the technique of quickly contracting and
relaxing muscles to cause a jerk in a dancer’s body.
Popping forces parts of your body outwards, similar to an explosion within
parts of your body. Popping also contracts muscles, but it is followed by relaxation
that gives it the jerking appearance of popping.
LOCKING
Locking or campbellocking, was created by Don Campbellock Campbell in
1969 in Los Angeles, California. It was popularized by his crew The Lockers.
Locking can be identified by its distinctive stops. It is usually performed by
stopping the fast movement that you are doing, locking your body into a position,
holding it, and then continuing at the same speed as before. In locking, dancers
hold their positions longer. The lock is the primary move used in locking. It is
similar to a freeze or a sudden pause. A locker’s dancing is characterized by
frequently locking in place and after a brief freeze moving again.
KRUMPING

Krumping is a form of dancing that originated in theAfrican-American

community of South Central Los Angeles, California and is a relatively new form of
the “Urban” Black dance movement. It is free, expressive and highly energetic.
Most people paint their faces in different designs. Krumping is a dance style
releasing anger. It is reported that gang riots in the United States was minimized
because of krumping style.

TUTTING

It is a creative way of making geometric shapes forming right angle using

your body parts. The style was originally practiced by young funk dancers. It is
derived from the positions people were drawn in during the days of the Ancient
Egyptians. It is the positions seen in these portraits that have been adopted by
dancers today. Tutting is still a greatly respected move and King Tut aka Mark
Benson is widely acclaimed for pioneering the style.

SHUFFLING

The Melbourne Shuffle (also known as Rocking or simply The Shuffle) is a

rave and club dance that originated in the late 1980s in the underground rave
music scene in Melbourne, Australia. The basic movements in the dance are a fast
heel-andtoe action with a style suitable for various types of electronic music.
Some variants incorporate arm movements. People who dance the shuffle are
often referred to as rockers, due in part to the popularity of shuffling to rock
music in the early 1990s.

WAACKING

Waacking” is an African American form of street dance originating from

the 1970’s disco era of the underground club scenes in Los Angeles and New York
City. Waacking consists of stylized posing and fast synchronized arm movements
to the beat of the music. Today, waacking is a popular element of hip hop dance.

Leisure activities like bowling and playing golf burn approximately 0.04-
0.09 kcal/min/kg BW. Though these activities are enjoyable and are associated
with energy expenditure, they are not recommended as part of our daily
activities. This is because cardiovascular benefit is achieved only if we can sustain
our heart rates at 60-75% of our target heart rate.

Strengthening and flexibility exercises on the other hand are intended to

improve bone and muscle strength and improve resilience of our connective
tissue. Although you may do it every day, performing it 2-3 times per week may be
enough to provide you with its maximum benefits.

Activities that burn the least calories should be avoided. The top of the

adults who are overweight. These activities are believed to be responsible for the
progressive rise in obesity and diabetes in the country.

Regular activity is no doubt beneficial to everyone. No one is too old to

enjoy the benefits of regular physical activity.

Points to remember…
Our lifestyle is the way we live. It is composed of a variety of elements
and habits: what we eat, what we drink, our level of exercise, how well we sleep,
how well we manage stress and adapt to stressful situations, our behaviour and
how we interact with people, not forgetting our sense of belonging and purpose
in life. It is also affected by how we think and how we see life in general and by
our attitude and the choices we make when confronted with the changes and
challenges of life.
A balanced lifestyle is the way in which we live and reflects that the
different elements of our life are in the right amount and proportion. Adopting a
balanced lifestyle is of growing importance because it has immediate and long-
term effects on our health and well-being. This is confirmed by many recent
studies, which clearly show that conditions such as heart diseases, stroke, cancer,
diabetes, as well as many other chronic diseases may be preventable and even
reversible by changing our diet and adopting new attitudes and lifestyle.
A balanced lifestyle will have positive effects on our longevity as well. In
his exceptional book, “Defy Aging”, Michael Brickey, (PhD) has reviewed and put
together the conclusions of thousands of scientific studies and references about
longevity. One of the important conclusions of this extensive review is this:
“Researchers estimate that 30% of longevity is due to heredity and that 70% is the
consequence of our beliefs, attitudes, coping skills and lifestyle”.
Adopting and maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle is our own
responsibility. By maintaining a balanced lifestyle, we are increasing our chances
of living a significantly longer, better, and happier life.
A balanced lifestyle is the corner stone of your well-being, and it
encompasses elements such as developing and maintaining good physical health
and fitness, maintaining a good level of energy and vitality, having the ability to
express your creativity, enjoying emotional and psychological stability,
entertaining harmonious relationships, feeling and expressing your love toward
people and life, acquiring effective stress management strategies and coping skills,
achieving financial stability, as well as developing a sense of purpose and meaning
in life.
In order to be able to take meaningful actions and make effective changes
to your lifestyle and improve your health and well-being significantly, it may be
very useful to look at the different elements that define your lifestyle. This will
allow you to set pertinent and reasonable goals and adopt more effective
strategies specific to each element.
Lifestyle is often defined by the following six components: physical,
mental, emotional, social, financial and spiritual. These elements are all
interrelated. We can say that we enjoy a truly balanced lifestyle when we are
balanced with respect to all six components. Negligence or imbalance in any one
of these affects all the others. The good news is that improvement in one element
will also have a positive effect on all the others.
