Hip-hop is a general term for all kinds of hip-hop, including mechanical dance and break dance. It originated from the impromptu dance movements of American street dancers. These street dancers are mainly black or Mexican. Most of these popular street dances originated in Brooklyn, new york, USA. Some black or Mexican children dance in the street all day, forming various factions and naturally developing different dances.
1992 at the beginning, there was a kind of "in-situ hip-hop", without those big moves and footwork movements, not to mention the ground movements similar to gymnastics in break dancing. Its unique style lies in paying attention to the coordination of the body, attaching importance to the rhythm of the upper body, and adding a lot of head and hand movements. We can see this new dance style in Michael Jackson, Maria Kelly and Backstreet Boys's MTV.
In the daily training of professional aerobics athletes, this kind of street dance is often used to train athletes' comprehensive qualities such as coordination and expressiveness, and sometimes it is also used for performance. Hip-hop is fashionable in appearance and moderate in exercise intensity, so it is possible for it to enter the gym. The hip-hop dance in the gym pays more attention to its safety, exercise value, health and personality expression in the choice of action, so practitioners consume fat and relieve mental stress. Personally, I think HIP-HOP in the gym has a more prominent psychological adjustment effect on practitioners. Therefore, some people call it "the only sport that makes people smile and train."
The classification of street dance is:
Hip-hop is a kind of dance that people contact most. It has big and simple steps, and can show a complex sense of dance. Because it is easy to learn and beautiful to jump, it is very popular with the public.
Mechanical dance, using the muscles and joints of all parts of the body, with the beat of music and rich imagination, creates amazing dance steps. It belongs to the more difficult street dance type.
Break dancing is also a difficult dance step, which can be roughly divided into two types: hand, head and body rotating on the ground, called big floor; Stepping on the ground with four limbs, combined with a tricky handstand, is called a small floor. Of course, while dancing, you can also match the movements you want to express at will.
Freestyle is a superb dance step, which mixes all kinds of dances and expresses them at will. There is no limit to the style of dance, which is out of the norm of general dance. It can be said that it is personalized street dance.
With House's music, House performs a dance step with complicated and magical dance steps, which can be combined with the twisting of Latin dance, the somersault of martial arts, the basic dance steps of tap dance and the turn of ballet. It can be elegant or wild.
Dressing skills
Big t-shirt, mop pants, baseball cap, tight vest, sports shoes, etc. It can be your choice, but I want to remind you that while pursuing fashion and individuality, don't ignore beauty. If it doesn't suit you, it looks "weird" rather than good-looking.
Introduction to hip-hop
You can choose some hip-hop music to adapt to the rhythm characteristics and dance a few times with the hip-hop rhythm. When learning from the coach, follow the coach's procedure of breaking down the movements. For example, learn lower limb movements first, and then gradually add upper limb and head movements. Slow first, then fast, don't rush for success.
Fitness value of street dance
The action is explosive, mostly around the ring and small joints, so it can better improve the coordination ability of practitioners and make the small joints and muscles that the body does not exercise often get full exercise. In addition, moderate exercise intensity has the effect of aerobic exercise, so that practitioners can improve the main lung function and achieve the purpose of losing weight. Practitioners can also choose music with different rhythms to adjust the intensity of exercise according to their physical condition and sports foundation.
