Hip-hop is a street culture developed by African-Americans, and it is a kind of exercise to vent emotions. It is characterized by strong explosive force, and the movements of limbs are exaggerated compared with other dances. The most attractive thing is to bring a warm feeling with the vitality of the whole body.
Hip-hop makes people pay attention, have strong interest, and act beautifully and casually. At the same time, street dance also has the function of slimming, because street dance is a low-intensity aerobic exercise, and the function of consuming whole body fat is quite strong in an hour's exercise. In addition, street dance is a small muscle exercise. Regular practice can increase the coordination of your whole body and make your body proportion more standard.
Classification: According to the style, street dance can be divided into many kinds of dances, and new kinds of dances are constantly emerging and popular. At present, the international mainstream dances include break dance, hip hop dance, jazz dance, pop dance, rock dance, house dance and Krumpin dance. Moreover, every dance has many genres. It can be said that the style of every dance is very complicated and attractive. Different kinds of dances can also learn from their own elements, so that dance movements are more creative and tense, and there is no particularly clear boundary.
Skilled street dance
Dancers are required to have high strength, flexibility and coordination, which is a highly skilled sports dance, so they are first loved by domestic teenagers. Teenagers who dance this type of dance are called B-Boy/B-Girl.
In 1980s, DJ Kool Herc, known as the "father of hip-hop", created the concept of B-Boy, also known as Breaking Boy. Every year, many countries in the world hold some competitions for B-Boys, the most famous of which are the annual BOTY (Battle of the Year) and the B-Boys Championship held in Britain. Hundreds of players from more than 65,438+00 countries will take part in such activities. The winner of the competition will soon become famous and become the star of teenagers.
Hip-hop: the Chinese translation of the word hip-hop, 1974 was born in new york, USA, and was invented by the famous DJ and MC lover Stasky. At the end of 1960s and the beginning of 1970s, a series of black cultural and artistic forms appeared in American East Coast cities headed by new york, including graffiti or writing, B-Boying, record playing (DJ or Deejay, DJ means disc jockey, that is, the person who controls records) and rap (MCing or MC).
The word Hip-Hop was originally rhymed by love bug Starski in rap. Hip means ass, and Hop means jumping. Together, it can be interpreted as jumping ass. In the early 1980s, Affri Bambaataa, the godfather of hip-hop, borrowed the word hip-hop to refer to the black urban cultural movement represented by the above four cultural forms, and it was quickly and widely accepted. The above four cultures became the four elements of hip-hop.
Hip-hop is translated into hip-hop and rap is translated into rap. These two concepts are different. Hip-Hop is actually not a musical term, but a cultural term, including rap, graffiti, street dance and DJ disc playing. Singing originated in the 1960s, while hip-hop as a musical understanding originated in the early 1970s. Its predecessor is RAP (sometimes with a little R(B)).
Literally, Hip-Hop is Hip, Hop is hop, and together it is Hip-waking. At first, it refers to the budding hip-hop (that is, we used to talk about break dancing), and then it gradually developed into a huge concept-the hip-hop culture we are talking about now also includes loose clothes, heavy pure gold ornaments, and "YoYo?" What's the matter? "Oral habits-in short, it is the lifestyle and their" style "of black people in poor neighborhoods in the United States.
Dance Style There are many styles of street dance, such as Popping, Locking, Electric, Turbo and House. They don't need higher skills such as breaking, but they need more coordination and sense of dance, as well as flexibility and control of their limbs. Good hip-hop dancers also need to practice hard. Because street dance is not as skillful and competitive as breaking, it has not been paid enough attention by street dance lovers before. Now with the enhancement of dance concept, this situation has changed, and even B-Boy has begun to practice, and many all-round hip-hop players have appeared.

Lock dance lock
In 1970s, Don Campbell invented a unique impromptu dance step lockin (also known as Campbell) in a nightclub in Los Angeles. Such dance steps and its affiliated culture soon spread abroad, setting off a frenzy, and also contributed to a new TV program called "Soul Train" at that time. In this program, the dancers quickly show the action of locking and pointing, and from time to time, they interpret their unique style with the skills of hand clapping and splitting. Tang started an impromptu dance similar to "Campbellocking" and made it more stylized. He and his partner Damita Joe Freeman toured around with the staff who organized the Soul Train at that time. Soon after, Don formed another group with the main style of locking improvisation solo, and its name was Campbellocking Dancers. This group consists of Don Campbell, Fred "Mr Penguin" Berry, Charles Robot, Slim Robot and Sambo Lock. At that time, their performance mode was that dancers stood in a straight line and performed solo. During that time, Greg Campbellock Jr, Scooby doo Foster, Leo Fluky Luke, Tony Go-Go, Buddy Go-Go and Skeeter Rabbit have been inventing new dance steps, and those dance steps have been unified, just like what everyone has learned now.
1972, Go-Go Brothers (except Tony and Buddy, Skeeter Rabbitt was added) became the first lock-in dance company to present a combination of short drama and choreography. Whether it is a large-scale performance or a small high school banquet, it is a stage for them to show their skills. At the end of 1972 and the beginning of 1973, Scooby-Doo and Cam Bayloc matched Go-Go Bros and Skeeter Rabbitt, as well as aneta Qiang Sen, Freddie Maxie and Lorna Duane at that time. Formed the first mixed-sex lock dance troupe in history, named "Creating a Generation". This group learns to dance, teaches others to dance, performs and interprets dance on the stage, and tours around as a member of the legendary Watts writers' studio.
/kloc-in the summer of 0/973, the word "locker" was adopted under the planning of Don Campbell, and the famous legendary dance company "locker" was established. This group was the most dynamic and influential group in the history of the lock at that time. The company has not only the best impromptu dancers, but also top dancers to use. The whole group consists of "Slim Robot" Don Campbell, Fred "Rerun" Berry, Fokki Luke, Greg Cann Bayloc Jr., renowned choir member Tony basire and young and talented Adolf "Sabadou" QueNorns. Campbell Bayloc Jr brought his choreography experience in the creative generation to the locker, and the art of locks gradually emerged in the world.
When lockers became popular, other OG dancers such as Tony Go-Go and Skeeter Rabbitt joined in the 1970s and toured with them. At the same time, other underground groups, such as 33RPM and slum dancers, also formed in the early stage. These groups include different groups of old-school dancers. This situation triggered a dance atmosphere, which gradually spread from the city to the suburbs of Los Angeles, and then from this country to that country.

According to the characteristics of the times, hip-hop can be divided into two categories: old school and new school. The former is a hip-hop style in the 1980s, and the latter is produced in the 1990s, which has undergone considerable changes in music and movements.
old-fashioned
Old-school music has a very fast beat to match the unconventional movements, and then with the evolution of hip-hop music, the rhythm of hip-hop slows down, and the unconventional movements are not suitable. Because if you do something like car or footwork in this slow hip-hop music, you will not feel explosive at all, and even lose your sense of dance. At this time, the dance of the old school and the new school began to separate, which was about 1986.
The dance steps of the early new school are very simple, such as the familiar "running man", which can be seen in the music videos of MC Hammer and Babby Brown. This hot street dance is also called fashionable dance. But from the present point of view, these hip-hop dances, which were all the rage during the period of MC Hammer and Babby Brown, have gradually become old-fashioned.
The emergence of new schools
1At the beginning of 992, a black dance group called Mop Top (composed of Henry Link, Songjie and Foshen) developed a new style of street dance, an "original street dance". Unlike the big movements and large-scale movements in the period of MC Hammer and Babby Brown, there is no gymnastics-like movement in break dancing. Its unique style is to pay attention to the coordination of the body (we call it rhythm), pay attention to the rhythm of the upper body, and add a lot of hand movements, instead of paying attention to the big movements and footwork movements like the old hip-hop. So, Michael, Henry's new dance style was used in Jackson's "Remember Time" MTV, which immediately set off a wave. Later, Mary Kelly's dream girl song MTV used a richer new school dance, mixing locking, Poping and Wave. At that time, it was difficult for people to determine what kind of dance it was, but it was a very important section in the history of the development of new hip-hop and the origin of the new school's popularity all over the world.
The mature stage of the new school: the new school of hip-hop is a mixture of different types of dances, including hip-hop or R& adagio; This song shows this. This is the early form of the new school. Henry and others simplified many Locking movements, used standard hip-hop rhythm to express Poping and locking, and sometimes added Wave to the dance. Simply put, it is to interpret these old dance steps with new feelings. Later, Henry worked as a dance director in Mary Kelly's songs Fantasy and Later Sweetheart. Hip-Hop has begun to mature in the popular female hip-hop group TLC's song Creep and the movie MIB's MTV.
Now the new school street dance
When this new Hip-Hop became popular in Japan, the Japanese developed another dance style of their own, that is, dancing the new Hip-Hop with old-school music. The new school originally used a new musical style to express the old dance, but now it has become an old musical style to interpret the new dance. In terms of movement, the recent new Hip-Hop has changed a lot, with severe body distortion and no so-called rules in dance.
