Hip-hop originated in the United States, based on different street cultures or musical styles. The earliest street dance is Locking, which originated in the 1960s. (Note: Hiphop is the only English translation of hip hop). Actions consist of walking, running and jumping, and are composed of joints of head, neck, shoulders, upper limbs and trunk, such as flexion and extension, rotation, circle, sparkling, wave-like twisting, etc. 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. It was introduced to China in 1980s, and gradually spread as an active way of fitness communication. Nowadays, street dance is the general name of a series of dance forms. Their common feature is that the limbs swing greatly and the dress code is not so strict. In addition to their own performances, street dancers will also organize fighting dances.

Street dancing, which was born in the late 1960s, is the dance of the urban poor in black America. In 1970s, it was classified as a part of hip-hop culture, with strong performance, participation and competitiveness. [ 1]

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.

According to the standard of action, hip-hop dancers can be divided into two categories: dancers and Bboy(BGIRL). One is personal skill street dance. Personal skill street dance is the earliest popular street dance, because it can reflect the energetic side of young people. Many of their ground movements, such as somersaults and handstand jumps, are street dance performances with strong skills and high appreciation. The other is group street dance, which is a popular form of street dance. It reflects the needs of the public, and it is relatively simple to jump and has a strong sense of rhythm. It has both the feeling of dancing and the function of fitness.

Breaking is 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, you can also match the movements you want to show when dancing.

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.

Poppin (mechanical dance) uses the muscles and joints of all parts of the body to create amazing dance steps with the rhythm of music and rich imagination. It belongs to the more difficult street dance type.

Locking: there are more activities in the arms and upper body, and less activities in the hips and legs.

Jazz: The essence of jazz dance is a free and simple expression, which directly expresses the inner feelings with the shaking, shaking and twisting of the body. Just like when we hear our favorite music, we naturally express our feelings from the heart, and our bodies can't help moving with the rhythm of the music, such as snapping our fingers and swinging our first foot, sometimes excited and sometimes slowly and gently dissolving into the music.

Lager (Reggae Dance): Reggae has a lot of hip twisting movements and waves on its body. Unlike the small but refined fashion wave, reggae is big and wild.

Lomo: LUMO is an art in itself. Compared with the above steps, LUMO is a very difficult one. This dance step was founded by Lu Dechang in 1994, and it was well received on its first appearance.
