Hip-Hop street dance is a street culture developed by African-Americans, which comes from a movement to vent emotions. It is characterized by strong explosive force, and the movements made by limbs during dancing are more exaggerated than 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. Of course, after learning hip-hop, you can also shine in the disco!

From the perspective of dance, it can be divided into two categories, namely, the new school and the old school. We can distinguish them from their age and feelings about music. In fact, hip hop is the floorboard of all kinds of hip hop.

In fact, what we call break dancing or old school is also a kind of hip hop. This old-school dance includes lock (lock dance), POPING (mechanical dance), break (break dance) and WAVE (current) (the famous group of this break dance style is Rock Steady Crew). He originated from the impromptu dance movements of American street dancers, most of whom are black or Mexican. Perhaps it is the so-called "entertainment for the poor". Most of these popular street dances originated in Brooklyn, new york, USA (this area is full of poor blacks or Mexicans). These black and Mexican children mix and dance in the streets all day, naturally forming various factions and naturally developing different styles in the dance.

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.

Poping mechanical dance, using the muscles and joints of all parts of the body, with the beat of music and rich imagination, creates amazing dance steps. 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.

Beginner's paradise!

Usually, the most difficult thing for us to dance HIP-HOP is feeling. So how can we practice this feeling?

Step 1: First of all, you must love HIP-HOP several times more than others.

Step 2: Go to a nearby music studio or video store and buy a CD or tape of hip-hop dance music.

Step 3: Choose the best bass around you (in order to practice your sense of music better).

Step 4: Choose the music that makes your heart beat the most from the bought CDs.

Step 5: Turn up the music as much as possible and follow the music! Big! Practice the shoulders first (let the shoulders only shake up and down); You will feel bored at first, but when dancing HIP-HOP, the shoulder is the most important feeling part.

Step 6: Continue the previous step and practice the up-and-down elasticity of legs and knees.

Step 7: Practice the left and right legs backward step by step with the music, and also practice the forward movement.

Step 8: Practice the flexibility of hand joints (from fingertips to shoulders like waves, both hands should practice).

Step 9: Practice your toes. Follow the music and practice walking with only your toes. Bounce back and forth, left and right with your toes. In this way, your feelings will also go up a storey still higher. When practicing this step, you must be careful not to let all your feet touch the ground.

Step 10: Combine all the above steps and shake your whole body at will, so that your hip-hop has a foundation.

Usually you'd better prepare a bigger mirror from the beginning, and it's better to practice in front of it. When you start, you will feel bored and tired. Because street dance is not a vigorous dance, but it is as tiring as vigorous dance, so we must have perseverance and keep practicing. Some people may feel nothing in practice, but don't think you have no talent. Many famous dancers were born suddenly while walking or inadvertently. So you can also become a spokesperson for hip-hop through practice.

Supplement the origin and development of hip-hop;

Hip-hop is also called hip-hop, which comes from black street dance, so it is also called REETFUNK. Hip hop is naturally loved by young people because of its relaxed and free personality and rebellious spirit. After filtering out the original flavor and exaggeration of the stalk dance, the cars in the street naturally boarded the elegant hall-gym.

Hip-hop is a general term for all kinds of hip-hop, including mechanical dance and break dance. It originated from the impromptu dance movements of American street dancers. These street dancers are mainly black or Mexican. Most of these popular street dances originated in Brooklyn, new york, USA. Some black or Mexican children dance in the street all day, forming various factions and naturally developing different dances.

At the beginning of 1992, there was a kind of "in-situ street dance", which didn't have the big movements and footwork movements, and the 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 MTV of Backstreet Boys.

In the daily training of professional aerobics athletes, this kind of street dance is often used to train athletes' comprehensive qualities such as coordination and expressiveness, and sometimes it is also used for performance. Hip-hop is fashionable in appearance and moderate in exercise intensity, so it is possible for it to enter the gym. The hip-hop dance in the fitness room pays more attention to its safety, exercise value, health and personality, so practitioners consume fat and relieve mental stress. Personally, I think HIP-HOP in the gym has a more prominent psychological adjustment effect on practitioners. Therefore, some people call it "the only sport that makes people smile and train."
