HIP-HOP

Hip-Hop dance is an energetic and expressive street dance style that originated in the 1970s within the hip-hop culture of urban communities. It incorporates a range of movements, including breaking, popping, locking, and freestyle improvisation, all rooted in rhythm, musicality, and personal expression. Dancers often perform intricate footwork, isolations, and power moves to beats from hip-hop, funk, and rap music. Hip- Hop dance fosters creativity and individuality, allowing dancers to develop their own styles and movements while staying connected to its origins in self-expression, social connection, and urban street culture. It has since evolved into a global phenomenon, influencing and being influenced by various other dance forms.
