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. The following is the origin, classification and action essentials of street dance that I sorted out. Welcome to read the reference!
The origin of street dance (note: there is only one kind of street dance in English translation, and Hiphop is just one of them), and the movements consist of various kinds of walking, running and jumping, including joints such as head, neck, shoulders, upper limbs and trunk, such as flexion and extension, rotation, circle, sparkling, wave-like twisting and so on. Every movement has its own specific fitness effect, not only focusing on the upper limbs, but also introduced to China in 1980s, and gradually spread as an active communication of fitness. 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.
Basic introduction
Hip-hop was born in the late 1960s, and it is a kind of urban poor dance of African-Americans. In 1970s, it was classified as a part of hip-hop culture, with strong performance, participation and competitiveness.
At the beginning of 1992, there was a kind of "in-situ street dance", which didn't have the big movements and foot 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 Backstreet Boys's MTV.
The basic classification is based on action, and street dancers can be divided into dancer and Bboy(BGIRL). One is personal skill street dance. Personal skill street dance is one of the earliest popular street dances, because it can reflect the energetic side of young people. Many of their ground movements, such as somersault, handstand and bounce, are very skillful and ornamental. 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.
Shared species
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 to make complicated and changeable footwork movements, coupled with tricky handstands, 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.
swing dance
Hiphop (free dance) is a kind of dance that people often come into contact with. 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. You can combine the twist of Latin dance, the somersault of martial arts, the basic steps of tap dance and the turn of ballet. It can be elegant or 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.
