developed from
the music style that was first introduced during
the 1970s in New York City among young
Hispanic and African-American communities
and was made popular in the 1980s by media’s
exposure of several hip-hop dance groups in
America.
These group of young people 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.
Hip-hop evolved as a street dance which was a
cultural dance variation in the United States
and is generally a form of entertainment
where technical and teachable dance aspects
replaced the cultural symbolism and message
of the true essence of African-American hip-
hop dance. The word street dance arrived in

There are various street dance battles
held locally across the country as well as
hip-hop dance competitions

a community dominated by African-
Americans in Los Angeles, he brought

Characteristic
The movement of hip-hop dance contains an
assertive angularity of
body posture and an insistent virtuosic
rhythmicity.
It is freestyle in nature and maybe practiced in
either a dance studio or in an open space outdoor.
It consists of four fundamental characteristics
such as rapping (MCing); Disc jockeying (DJing);
Break dancing (B-boying); and Graffiti Art (Aerosol
Art).
Can also be described by elements such as
bounce or recoil, tightening of the body, agility
and coordination, and fun.
It has several styles that comprise two main
categories, the Old school (breaking, popping,
and locking) and the New school (house,
krumping,
street jazz).
