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. [Edit this paragraph] 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, and belong to sports dance with high skills, 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.
Main styles and types of street dance
Break dance, combat step, swing step, floor step, fixed movement, crazy dance, bugalo dance, robot dance, wave dance, animation dance/Sinbad style, flash dance.
Lock dance, mechanical dance, tap dance, electronic buji, new street dance, house dance, jazz dance, freestyle.
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. [Edit this paragraph] The mature stage of the new Hip-Hop is a mixture of different types of dances, including Hip-Hop or R &；; 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. [Edit this paragraph] stomp the yard was in China, and China first came into contact with hip-hop, which began with the American film "Break Dance" in 1980s. At that time, break dancing was the predecessor of today's break. With the deepening of China teenagers' understanding of hip-hop, they gradually return to the origin of hip-hop and practice hip-hop in China with their own vision and characteristics.
In addition to early break dancing, teenagers all over the country began to practice street dance in the mid-1990s. In Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, street dance started earlier because of the developed information. In Zhengzhou, Henan Province, because of the close relationship between martial arts culture in the Central Plains and street dance, break dancing also started earlier. Nowadays, teenagers are practicing street dance all over the country, and they can get together for training in the street squares of various cities. They also often organize small competitions (fighting, ballastless dancing/spell dancing), and the dancers with the best kung fu can win the respect of many teenagers.
Teenagers' enthusiasm for street dance has led to a large number of applications of street dance from culture and art to commercial advertisements. We can see that in the music videos of Jay Chou, Jordan chan, Elva Hsiao, Wen Lan and many other famous artists, the heroic stamping of the courtyard frequently appears. The commercial advertising circles of Nike, Li Ning, Season 5, Huiyuan, Gemdale, Nokia and other brands adopt hip-hop modeling, which frequently bombards the vision of young consumers. At the beginning of 2003, Notre Dame de Paris, a dance drama staged in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, used a lot of street dance moves and formed a unique cultural landscape.
With the rise of national fitness activities, street dance, as a fitness sport, has also entered the fitness centers of major cities. Many professional practitioners of dance, drama and acrobatics also began to practice street dance, which is widely spread in various art colleges. On the university campus, many dance clubs have been organized to practice street dance. It is common for middle school students to engage in street dance activities in their spare time, and a unique youth community culture has been formed in residential quarters in major cities. Five sports channels of CCTV set up hip-hop teaching programs as early as a few years ago (although pure hip-hop is not taught), and three dance worlds also broadcast invited hip-hop special programs shot by the North Ballroom before the Spring Festival in 2003. As a popular cultural and sports activity among teenagers, street dance has been widely spread throughout the country.
Hip hop is healthy and healthy.
The experience of most bodybuilders is that although fitness is good, it is difficult to persist. Hip-hop is rich and interesting, so that practitioners can always train with a smile.
Experts generally believe that the characteristics of hip-hop are improvisation, frankness, relaxation and passion, which are related to its dynamic rhythm, pleasant rolling and loose dress. It has no particular fixed style and pattern, and everyone feels different when jumping out, so it is easy to release themselves. First of all, physically, it involves exaggerated and explosive body movements. In the case of coherent combination of body movements, exercising more small joints and muscles can enhance the elasticity of muscles that are not easy to move in normal exercise and play a role in losing weight. Hip-hop also helps to improve the coordination and flexibility of the body, which can make people's body proportion more reasonable.
Its psychological adjustment and relief function is mainly manifested in the process of dancers' interpretation of music connotation. Because street dance does not have the prescribed movements like gymnastics, it allows dancers to give full play, broaden the performance space in re-creation, fully display their own style and give play to the characteristics of street dance. Hip-hop dance is interesting, rich and casual, which can improve the cardiopulmonary function in aerobic exercise and relax the depressed nerves and body. The effect of street dance on fitness and mental health can't be compared with other events in the horizontal direction, but moderate street dance is first of all safe for health, and then the effect of pursuing exercise. This project is young, energetic and strong, so it is especially suitable for young people. Its fitness effect is better than low-intensity fitness items.
Experienced coaches in street dance classes often pay more attention to whether everyone is happy, whether the movements are unrestrained and free, and whether they have achieved complete psychological relaxation, which is also an important reason why urban office workers like it. The exercise of street dance is to vent the pressure of life to the fullest.
Age and types suitable for learning hip-hop
Hip-hop dancing is divided into two categories, hiphop dancing and breakin.
Let's talk about running-in. This is a technical street dance, belonging to the old school. This is handstand, rotation and so on. Running-in is divided into styles and dynamic movement. Style refers to the routine of freeze-frame, and Powermove focuses on the connection transformation between windmill and Thomas.
There are many hiphop dances, such as hip hop, poppin, locking, jazz, new style, house and so on.
Hiphop is a basic dance, which pays attention to rhythm and dance sense.
Poppin, focusing on pop and rhythm, pays attention to music, including Anymation, Wave, Tick and so on.
Lock is lock dance, wrist turning is his characteristic, and there is still some waiting action.
Jazz is jazz, reggae is sexy dance, suitable for girls to dance.
The new style is the popular dance now. It is based on hiphop and combines the movements of other dances. Dancing is free.
House has a lot of footwork and keeps stepping on it.
There are many others, such as krumping, but they are all on the side, or classified into some big dances, so I won't introduce them one by one. [Edit this paragraph] Introduction to Street Dance Knowledge 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, 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 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.
