A comparison between American black dance and foreign dance
Origin: In the southern United States (17 ~18th century), western colonists sold a large number of African blacks to plantations in North America. The black slaves living at the bottom of society miss their distant hometown and relatives, and their feelings of depression, helplessness and despair are always with them. In the field, slaves miss their hometown and relatives after work, and often sing a sad song to express their lonely and sad feelings.

Characteristics: Black slaves absorbed the advantages of European music while retaining the characteristics of African music, and created African-American music forms.

American black dance culture: hip-hop is a modern dance. The relaxed and free black dance originated from American hip-hop has become the mainstream of modern dance fitness with its unique hip-hop style and irresistible charm. Hip hop is a healthy culture. In energetic and passionate music, you just need to put on your favorite T-shirt and loose pants, and release your narcissism with the music.

Hip Hop (English name) originated in new york, USA, which is the product of the development of jazz dance in 1990s. Its movements are made up of various extreme changes in walking, running and jumping, as well as the flexion and extension of the joints of the head, neck, shoulders, upper limbs and trunk, rotation, rotation, sparkling, wave-like twisting and so on. Each movement has its own specific fitness effect, not only pay attention to the upper and lower limbs, but also pay attention to the following aspects. Also pay attention to the independent movement of each part of each link (for example, the completion of an upper arm movement is an organic combination of various activities from fingers, palms and forearms to upper arms and shoulders). Therefore, street dance not only has the functions of improving heart and lung function, reducing fat, enhancing muscle elasticity and enhancing ligament flexibility, but also has the functions of coordinating muscle groups in various parts of the human body, shaping beautiful posture, improving human coordination ability and cultivating aesthetic feeling.

The so-called street dance is the most popular type of street dance. From the perspective of dance, it can be divided into two categories: new school and old school. How to distinguish these two types? We can distinguish them by age, action or music type. In fact, hip hop is the floorboard of all kinds of hip hop. In fact, what we call break dancing or old school is also a kind of hip-hop. This old-school dance includes lock (lock dance), POPING (mechanical dance), break (break dance) and WAVE (current) (the famous group of this break dance style is Rock Steady Crew). He originated from the impromptu dance movements of American street dancers. Most of these street dancers are black or Mexican. Perhaps it is the so-called "entertainment for the poor". Most of these popular street dances originated in Brooklyn, new york, USA (this area is full of poor blacks or Mexicans). These black and Mexican children mix and dance in the streets all day, naturally forming various factions and naturally developing different styles in the dance.
