What is Hip-Hop?
Hip-hop culture is from the African-American group of people who were looking for a creative outlet
to vent their frustrations and disappointments with society. It started with funky beats reverberating
at house or basement parties and the streets of New York. It has developed as a "cultural and
artistic phenomenon affecting the youth worldwide as it reflects the social, economic,
political, and cultural realities and conditions of their lives, speaking to them in a language and
manner they understand."

Hip-hop Dance is part of a greater culture that began in the streets rather than having
been developed by dance masters of famed academies and institutions, which is how many
classical forms of dance originated.
The
three unique aspects of Hip-hop dance are freestyle movement, the involvement of battles,
and the use of ciphers.
When Hip-hop dancers participate in freestyle routines they do not adhere to any
choreographic sequence of steps, but rather improvise their own moves on the spot. There are
basically no rules for freestyle dance; Hip-hop dancers commonly use the beat, rhythm, melody,
lyrics, and other aspects of a song or piece to help them determine their moves.

Hip-hop dance battles may
be between individual
dancers or crews. They
originate from informal
dance contests that took
place in the streets and
popular night time
establishments. With
battles,
dancers perform routines,
both freestyle and
choreographed
alternately
and either a panel of
judges
or the crowd determines
the
winner in the end.
In using
ciphers,
Hip-hop
dancers
form a
circle.
One dancer enters to perform a
sequence of choreographed or
freestyle moves while the
remaining dancers in the circle
yell out jeers or encouragements
for the person performing. When
the first dancer goce back to the
circle, another one comes in and
so forth.
