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. According to the classification of styles, 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 is Hip-Hop, which was born in new york 1974 and was invented by Starski, a famous DJ and MC lover. 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.
Hip-hop is a kind of dance that people often contact. 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.
POPPIN:
Use the muscles and joints of all parts of the body to create amazing dance steps with the beat of music and rich imagination. It belongs to the more difficult street dance type. It mainly uses muscle vibration to produce action POP to keep up with the drum beat of music, and it is composed of roll, wave and WALKOUT.
Freestyle:
This is a great dance step, mixing all kinds of dances together and performing 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.
House:
With House music, a kind of dance step is complicated and magical, which can be combined with the basic dance steps of Latin dance, martial arts somersault, tap dance and ballet circle. It can be elegant or quite wild.
New jazz
In fact, the translation of new jazz is not new jazz. Its full name is new york Jazz. New jazz is not for girls. In fact, at the beginning of new jazz, men danced new jazz. And women can only dance together. As time went on, girls gradually occupied the new jazz.
RAGREA (reggae, only for girls):
It is said that this dance originated in France, and some people say that it originated in the United States. It's a sexy dance, and the dancers are naked, mainly using the movements of the lower body, mainly using the hips, waist and legs. There will be some simple handstands and shaking the thighs in the air. It has developed well in Japan, where the porn industry is developed. And normal interpretation is sexy.
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 a well-known 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. Swing up, top swing, footwork, freeze, jump, flip, kick, float, rotate, flash and wave.

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. Street dance classification
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.
Poppin uses the muscles and joints of all parts of the body to create amazing dance steps with the beat of music and rich imagination. 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 to make complicated and changeable footwork movements, coupled with tricky handstands, 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 decomposing movements, such as learning lower limb movements first, and then gradually adding 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.
Hip hop dance species
First, popular mechanical dance. Second, lock dance. Third, break dancing. Fourth, fluctuating current. The above four kinds of street dance suitable for mom and dad are combined, and two new kinds of street dance children are born: HIPHOP dance and HOUSE dance. These are aliens and perverts. I think it should be easier for everyone to understand and absorb.
In fact, street dance is divided into six categories, including new dance and old dance. It seems that many of them are annoying and some are not. Don’t panic！ ! I am brainwashing you!
The next thing I want to tell you is the essence of POP DANCE mechanical dance: it originated from the movements and forms of robots. I remember that Michael Jackson (around 1969), the king of pop music, has been popular since he danced with robots on national television. Isn't it amazing? ! The point is "stop". Release energy immediately. It's not a robot. Mechanical dancing is not that heavy, but it's good to be able to slip through the emergency stop. Mechanical dancing should be quite isolated (you can't move anywhere else when you move). But poping doesn't need it. It is best to be shaking all over (as the case may be). How to "bang" every beat, preferably just right for the music? ..... Simply put, the muscles tighten instantly. Relatively speaking, when the racket is not stuck, the muscles are the most relaxed, but it is not the inability to catch and throw.
Second, LOCKUNG DANCE Lock Dance-It is understood that this is a hip-hop dance developed by men in black in ancient caves who saw China people playing nunchakus in the cave, with their hands swinging from side to side like nunchakus! Here I admire the unique creativity of black people, the so-called natural dance nation. Mainly hand movements. There are many styles, there is no right or wrong. You can add a lot of things after deformation. Divided into twist lock two parts. (If you don't know, please contact the dance clubs of all schools if you want to know. ) In short, the locked part is a bit like sonic boom, while the twisted part is a bit difficult to practice and not easy to look good. It's really hard to explain in words. Simply put, lock in the most important feeling. Although this is a necessary condition for every dance, in Locar's view, the posture, direction, angle and even momentum of a point must be strictly required, otherwise it is not called locking. It's really worrying to see some people think that locking is very good and teach others four unlike locking movements!
Break dancing-it combines China Kung Fu-is really unbearable. Give it something! China Kung Fu has been added to many break dancing movements, including turning, flapping, tumbling and throwing ... all kinds of strange tricks, awesome! ! Not if most people haven't practiced (except genius). There are legs, somersaults, jumps, frog turns, windmills, helicopters, thunder, pommel horse, head turns … and various combinations. Mainly by rotation, supplemented by turning over. But it's definitely not a monkey trick ... It's quite dangerous.
As for wave dance and current dance, there are many dance movements and concepts such as transmitting electricity and conducting electricity, and waves can only be practiced if they can spread to every part of the body. As long as you master it, you can master it. It's a little difficult and not too difficult! .
Rave rave: a rising star who replaced hip-hop today. It's right to keep twisting, because he doesn't have a fixed beat at all, and he is usually bright and beautiful, and a slim person is dancing (I have never seen a fat brother jump). Rave girls are all confident spice girls, but there are actually some playboys who are not drunk (their minds are full of sex all night! What are the new school and the old school? New york, the east coast of the United States-The new school dance originated from NEW STYLE, because they combined the four elements of street dance I mentioned above and then modified it, which is a beautiful new school dance. Besides, old-school dances are popular in Los Angeles on the west coast, which means they live in the original flavor, don't transform street dance, and strengthen their own style. We can find that the dancers there will magically dance their own street dance projects, which can be said to be superb, but it does not mean everyone.
Street dance has its own famous saying.
