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 a fitness active communication. Street dance can make people concentrate, cultivate a person's willpower, and also make the brain's thoughts and creativity play to the extreme. The action of street dance is elegant and casual, and the most attractive thing is to bring a warm feeling with the vitality of the whole body. Regular practice can also enhance the coordination of the whole body. Street dance is a kind of low-intensity aerobic exercise, which has a certain slimming effect. After one hour of exercise, it consumes body fat. Can't be ignored! Koreans can regard street dance as one of the three national classic dances, because it can make children develop morally, intellectually and physically in an all-round way and make contributions to society.

Second, the origin of development

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. 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're in Macquarie? Jackson, Maria? This new dance style can be seen in both 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.

Third, common types

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. Punking/waving/Voguing 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. House: Accompanied by House's music, it is a complicated and magical dance step. It can be combined with the twist of Latin dance, the somersault of martial arts, the basic step of tap dance and the turn of ballet, which can be elegant or quite wild. 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.

Fourth, the situation in China.

Teenagers in China first came into contact with hip-hop, starting from the American film "Break Dance" in 1980s, when break dance was the predecessor of Breaking. 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. After years of development, teenagers all over the country are practicing street dance, and they can get together for training in the street squares of various cities. They also often organize small competitions (fighting, scorpion dancing/spelling dancing), and the dancers with the best kung fu can win praises from many teenagers for street dance teaching videos. 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.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) national movement

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 programs as early as a few years ago (although pure street dance was not taught), and three dance worlds also broadcast street dance special programs shot by Beiwutang before the Spring Festival in 2003. As a popular cultural and sports activity among teenagers, street dance has been widely spread throughout the country. The music used to practice Hip-Hop is very distinctive, so everyone should be familiar with and adapt to the characteristics of accompaniment music before practicing. If, as soon as you hear the music, you can step on the steps accurately and freely and keep up with the rhythm of the music, then you can start learning street dance.
