Common types and characteristics of street dance 1 Street dance was born in the late 1960s, and it is a kind of urban poor dance of African Americans. In the1970s, 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 those gymnastics-like ground movements 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.

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.
Introduce common street dances and their characteristics;
Hiphop: Originated in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it is the second Hiphop dance after Breaking, which is promoted by the elite Force Dance Company led by Buddha Stretch. This kind of dance pays attention to the combination of body rhythm and music, full of jumping feeling, and looks free and enjoyable. Action elements are widely derived from the transformation of popular actions in underground dances and American TV entertainment programs and symbolic actions in gang culture. Po: Originated in the 1970s and formed in the 1980s, it was originally named Bobo Camp. I was supposed to jump standing up. After absorbing a large number of elements and movements from different sports and art forms, such as Capoeira (Brazilian war dance), gymnastics and China Wushu (from Hong Kong Shaw movies), today's break was formed. It is divided into four parts: jacking stone, footwork, freezing and dynamic movement. A large number of fast footstep movements with hands on the ground, various handstand freezing movements, and incredibly difficult rotations on the floor or in the air make this dance full of visual impact. In addition: Brooklyn Rock /UpRock/ Rock Dance is a kind of dance in which dancers approach each other, stand or squat to simulate various aggressive actions (such as boxing, knife cutting and shooting) to provoke but not touch each other, and it is often combined with TopRock as the action before Boboy falls to the ground.
Popping: Originated in the early 1970s, it was formed in the middle and late 1970s, and it rose in different forms in San Francisco, Fresno, Oakland and other places in California on the west coast of the United States. Its origin and inventor are controversial. The invention was inspired by different opinions, such as imitating the robot style, locking the rapid pause of the dance, and the clean and jerk dance, which was popular in the 1960s. The recognized systematic induction and popularization is the founding group electronic Bugalos led by Bugalos Sam. The main feature is to express the rhythm of music by controlling the sudden relaxation and tightening of muscles in various parts of the body and the "vibration/explosion point" effect produced by the movement and walking of limbs, which is often combined with a large number of different styles and techniques such as Robot, current and Slide. Now there are also views that the concept of Popping today should include these styles and technologies closely related to Popping. Jazz: As a stage performance dance, jazz is not hip-hop in essence because of the difference between its origin and historical development and American underground dance culture. The origin of this dance is earlier than all street dances. At first, American tap dance combined Charleston, swing dance, Lindhope and other dances, which was played by jazz at the beginning of last century. The technical system of classical ballet and even modern dance was introduced in the 1940s, and was influenced by Hiphop and other hip-hop dances in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Modern jazz gradually formed, and it was also called street jazz, jazz funk, La Style, La Style Hiphop and urban dance music by different jazz choreographers. The relationship between its current form and hip hop, especially hip hop, is still controversial.
Locking: Originated in the 1960s, it was invented by the Lockers team led by DonCambell, and it was the earliest street dance. The rapid rotation and pointing of the wrist and arm, the sudden freeze of the action, accompanied by various techniques such as clapping, jumping and splitting are its main characteristics.
House: Formed in the 1980s and 1990s, it has widely absorbed various dance elements such as break dance, Hiphop, Salsa, Tap and ballet. And formed a variety of dances to express House dance music with rich and brisk pace changes, which are divided into three categories: jacking, footwork and lofting.
Reggae: Originally called ballroom, it is a derivative of Jamaica's ragtime music culture. After reggae music was introduced into America and transformed into pop music culture, it gradually improved and became a kind of street dance, with passionate and wild movements and a lot of sexual hints.
Clown /Krump: Clown, also known as clown dance, was invented by Tommy the Clown in the early 1990s. Its style is similar to Hiphop, but it is more wild and exaggerated. After leaving the team, his disciples Lil C, Tight Eyez and others started their own businesses and made many changes to the clown dance, calling it Krump. It means King Radially Uplifted's powerful praise, which is interpreted as venting and sublimating negative emotions through intense exercise, thus praising God's dance.
In addition, because hip-hop refers to the summary of various underground dance cultures in the United States, non-American dances such as Tecktonik (originated in France) and Melbourne Shuffle (originated in Australia) are usually not regarded as hip-hop.
Common types and characteristics of street dance 2 In street dance culture, clothes are the most easily contacted by the public. And everyone's impression of oversized clothing is also one of the classic styles.
But many people think that a loose T-shirt, coupled with the feeling that it will fall off at any time, is the style of skateboarding, which is actually quite general and rough. Because loose clothing is one of the characteristics of Hiphop culture, it is only a main tributary of Hiphop culture. It is said that the origin of this way of dressing is closely related to the origin of Hiphop culture.
It turns out that Hiphop culture existed as early as the 1970s, when a large number of new immigrants flooded into the United States, and poor African ethnic groups accounted for a considerable proportion. This group of dark-skinned young people can't step into the threshold of fashion dance halls like other whites of the same age because of their limited economic ability, so they create their own self-help dances in public places to express their deep sense of powerlessness and excess energy.
At that time, the so-called second-class citizens in the United States, that is, blacks, Jews, and ... developed (so some people called Hiphop culture). At that time, the economic situation of colored people in the United States was not as good as that of whites, but more children were born than whites. In order to prevent these fast-growing children from undressing too quickly, they often buy a larger T-shirt, which can not only be worn for a long time, but also be passed down from generation to generation, so that their younger brothers can wear their older brothers'.
Hip-hop culture has been added again and again, and loose clothes are much more convenient, so it began to occupy hip-hop forces strongly. Nike, Adidas, Puma, Converse and other brands have linked their brand image with the vigorous street spirit with practical actions of support and sponsorship, and won the support of a large number of hip-hop fans. Loose T-shirts, side-rolled shoes and new sports styles have become the mainstream, which is the so-called old-school style. As for the so-called new school, it is common to dress up as big shorts and loose tops, which began to appear in the 1990 s.
However, generosity is not the whole picture of Hiphop, and there are still differences in careful subdivision; Skateboarding friends like to wear them, and they are handy and resistant to skateboarding, and they are all well-known brands in skateboarding sporting goods, such as DVS, PTS, VOLCOM, Expedition, DC, etc. Players prefer to wear simple style sneakers of sports brands such as Nike and Adidas, showing a clean and elegant style. It is even said that Adidas sneakers are mostly loved by dancers who play floor movements. In street clothing brands, there are well-known ESDJ, Tribe, Joker, Fubu and so on. And brand-name clothing TommyHilfiger, POLOSport, Nautica, OAKLEY and sports brands Nike and adidas are also very popular among dancers.
However, in all the costumes, there are styles that distinguish OldSchool from NewSchool, and there are also styles of East Coast and West Coast. Therefore, among a group of dancers, we can see the existence of the style of the 1970s and 1990s. No matter what era we imitate, the headset walkman is also a necessary outfit. In addition, the latest clothing developed up to now is the headscarf, and besides being tied alone, it is more popular to wear a hat after being tied, and the headscarf is only slightly exposed at the edge of the forehead. However, whether for fitness or simply to keep up with fashion, many people are used to joining sports in their lives now. Although the ultimate goal of sports is fitness, the basic consideration is the comfort and safety of clothes and shoes, fashionable sportswear can remain popular during sports and is also a necessary equipment for fashion players. The Origin and Analysis of hip-hop is a kind of folk dance, which arose among teenagers in the 1980s and is an integral part of the "Hip-Hop" among African Americans. Because this kind of dance appears in the street, regardless of the venue equipment, it is called hip-hop, which has strong participation, performance and competitiveness.
In China, street dance was introduced as a fitness method in 1995. In order to achieve the effect of fitness, Meng Xianjun selectively adapted the original hip-hop, walked chic and decadent, removed the more difficult and dangerous ground movements in hip-hop performance, and sought health instead of venting emotions.
According to the types of movements, street dance can be divided into two categories: street dance and break dance. Breaking: It is very skillful and requires dancers to have high strength, flexibility and coordination. Teenagers who dance this kind of dance are called B-boys.
Hip-Hop: Dance-style hip-hop, which has many styles, such as Poping, Locking, Electric, Turbo, House and so on. 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.
There is also a saying that hip-hop is called Hip-Hop, which includes two categories-old shoot and NewShool. OldShool dances include locking, Poping, breaking, wave (flow), etc. NewShool is generally "gentle", without much foot movements, only adding a lot of head and hand movements, paying attention to the rhythm of the upper body. At the same time, the rhythm of the new school is smoother and more natural, while the rhythm of the old school is more intensive.
In China, street dance is currently divided into two categories: popular street dance and popular street dance. The street dance in the gym is called fitness street dance, which is the combination of the most basic, simple and beneficial parts covered by popular street dance.
