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. 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.
Break [skill]:
This is a highly skilled sports dance, which requires dancers to have high strength, flexibility and coordination. Teenagers who dance this type of dance are called B-Boy and B-Girl.
Breaking can be roughly divided into two types: rotating on the ground with hands, head and body, called big floor; Stepping on the ground with four limbs to make complicated and changeable footwork movements, coupled with tricky handstands, is called a small floor. At the same time, the combination of power movement, freezing, footwork and up/top rock, plus some actions you want to express at will, forms a cool and energetic Breakin dance.
Breakin attaches importance to special skills, and dancers often touch the floor with various parts of their bodies to play tricks. For example, the famous windmill (the windmill means that the dancer touches the ground with his back as the fulcrum and his feet turn like a windmill) and the head spin (the head rotates and the dancer turns around with his head touching the ground as the fulcrum) are all technical movements. At the same time, the dance is also mixed with movements similar to China Kung Fu, such as kicking, forward and backward somersaults, jumping, frog somersaults, helicopters and various combinations.
Break dancing is a high-tech and dangerous dance, which is suitable for young people who like to be cool. Because dance types have higher physical requirements, it is generally not recommended for girls to choose and practice.
Hiphop [hop hop]:
Hiphop is a 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, it looks good when jumping, and it is more and more popular with the public. HipHop dance is not as skilled as Breakin and lacks competition. It has not been paid enough attention by hip-hop lovers before. But now, with the enhancement of dance concept, this situation has changed, and even in B-Boy, many all-round hip-hop dancers have begun to appear.
At the same time, there is a saying that Hiphop is the general term of "street dance", and many styles such as Poping, Locking, Electric, Turbo and House belong to Hiphop. Hiphop does not need higher skills like Breakin, but it needs the dancer's movement coordination and sense of dance, as well as the flexibility and control of the body.
Jazz [jazz]:
Jazz originated from classical ballet in Europe and later developed into modern dance. Coupled with the evolution of music, pop music became popular and became today's jazz dance.
Jazz dance can be divided into the following categories:
Street Jazz-Jazz dance is mixed with street HipHop elements, and it can be used in today's pop music, so it is very popular.
Modern jazz dance-evolved from ballet dance, is a very gentle and elegant dance, and is also one of the foundations of other jazz dances. Combining the characteristics of ballet and modern dance, it is more artistic and requires higher skills. It can perfectly embody the charming charm of ballet and street dance.
New jazz-a dance step that combines rigidity with softness, which is very suitable for B girls to practice. The new jazz can fully show the sexy and enchanting female body movements, with R &；; B's music is perfect for dancing.
Pop Jazz-with stage performance as the main purpose, pop music as the introduction, changeable dance steps, emphasizing the combination of strength and form, is more commercial. Pop jazz has a fast pace and needs a sense of stage performance.
Jazz dance is explosive, enchanting and sexy, and its unique characteristics have a very obvious effect on strengthening the body, improving the image temperament and self-cultivation. It is a good choice for young girls who love beauty and female white-collar workers who want to shape their perfect figure.
Reggae [Reggae]:
The appearance of reggae is favored by most girls. Reggae is more feminine than jazz, but it is also inseparable from jazz.
Reggae has most of the following elements: hip roll (using waist strength to drive PP to do left and right arc motion), body wave (similar to that in POPPIN, but with differences), JIP IT UP (similar to leg roll in POPPIN, with knees in arc motion), and LOG ON (using waist to drive your feet to open outwards, and generally adding some gestures to swing when making a semicircle. It's a bit like LOCKIN's handspring, but it's not that complicated), variation (I don't know, two heels move up and down, so does the waist, and with some hand movements, it looks sexy), squeakie (it's a bit like the HIGH dance that early Hong Kong people danced in bar D, with one foot on the ground and the other foot on the ground)
Popin[ mechanical dance]:
Popin is a highly skilled dance, dancing like a robot, also called mechanical dance. 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. Suitable for people who are sensitive to rhythm and have a strong sense of music.
In Popin, many actions of shaking different parts of the body are achieved by shaking your muscles and joints. This requires a sense of rhythm and pop-style music. You can do Popin by straightening your hand shaft or by bulging your shoulders, while the rest of your body is completely upright.
Lock [Lock Dance]:
Lock dance is a branch of the old school, which appeared earlier than Breakin and originated in Los Angeles, USA. It is a dance that emphasizes cleanliness and neatness. Because the gesture of "lock" in dance is similar to the role of "lock" in sudden "freeze", it is called lock dance.
The action of the lock developed from a funny cartoon character named "Rerun". This cartoon character appeared in the program "What happened". He often does funny dances, and his hands and feet move quickly, but he pauses or locks briefly between movements. So the characteristic of locking is that the body does some quick movements and then suddenly stops at a certain movement. The most important key is the rotation and fixation of the hand.
Freestyle [free wind]:
Freestyle is a very free and close to the latest HIPHOP dance trend, and it is an excellent dance step. Mix all HipHop dances together and dance with the music, emphasizing the cooperation with the music. Freestyle is a kind of personalized street dance with a high degree of freedom. It has no specific dance method, no style restrictions, and is free from the general dance norms.
If you want to freely use freestyle to show your personal dance style, you must first make great efforts to master all kinds of dance movements, and then you can truly express your dance on this basis.
House:
House, like disco music in the 1970s, is a part of the new school dance. HipHop's music used to be mostly listened to by African-Americans, but House's music was loved by people of different races. Compared with HipHop, which is classified as the favorite music of African-Americans, House, which appeared in 1980s, is generally accepted by all races. House is a bit like disco music in the 70s. The House Ballroom in different regions is full of cultural differences. You can see the influences of African dance, Brazilian quickstep, China Kung Fu, HipHop and jazz dance.
House dances to the melody and HipHop dances to the strong drums. This means that House is more informal than HipHop. However, it attaches great importance to footwork, which is a kind of dance step, in line with the complicated and magical pace of house music. You can combine 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 wild.
Electric boogie dance:
Boogie is sometimes called Body-Popping in Britain, which is a very special and interesting dance. This is an illusion dance style, which is difficult to describe if you have never seen it. This kind of dance looks like a dancer is controlled by a supernatural force and then makes some strange and incredible moves.
Bugallo:
Boogalo is a dance movement with waist rotation as the main force, which was created by a Bugalo Sam in the 1970s. It is different from Poping, and pays special attention to the rhythm of music. Generally speaking, bugallo is a style and an independent dance style, just like Poping, Wave and Hit.
Capoeira:
Capoeira is native to Brazil in South America. At that time, nobles and slave owners in South America oppressed non-Brazilian slaves by violence. When slaves could not bear the oppression of nobles and slave owners, everyone began to resist and strive for freedom. Because their hands are tied by chains, many ways of attacking with their feet have been developed to resist these oppressors. Capoeira was a fighting skill in Brazil in the early days, and later it evolved into a folk dance in Brazil with percussion instruments.
