Line dancing has many characteristics. Now it has developed to more than 3,000 kinds of dances, and each dance has its own unique dance code. The arrangement of new dance music must be certified by the International Choreographer Association before it can be distributed and promoted around the world. Therefore, the same dance music is danced in the same way all over the world. Under this consistent dance standard, row dancers can enjoy the pleasure of becoming friends with the world's dances. Whenever a new dance music appears, professional choreographers certified by the Choreographers Association can teach students according to the new dance norms. With the emergence of new steps and dances, line dancing is always fresh. The Choreographer Association will also hold competitions all over the world, and the number of participants often breaks the Guinness World Record. This is one of the reasons why line dancing is widely spread all over the world.
Each dance segment of choreography can be composed of different cyclic rhythms, such as 32 beats, 48 beats or 64 beats. So the dance steps of each song are repeated in a specific cycle rhythm. In addition, the basic dance rules of each line dance are also divided into two directions and four directions to rotate alternately. Line dancing combines many social dance steps, such as cha-cha, rumba, mambo, cowboy and rock. Under the multiple combinations and changes of such dance elements, line dancing is simplified, which makes dancers jump out of their own personal style and completely belong to their own interpretation, adding to the attractive charm of line dancing.

Street dance can generally be divided into two types, one is personal skill street dance. Personal Skills Hip-hop is the earliest popular hip-hop because it can reflect the energetic side of young people. Many of their ground movements, such as somersault, handstand and bouncing, are high-skilled personal hip-hop performances.
The other is group street dance, which is a popular form of street dance at present. 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.
Therefore, collective street dance is more common at present. Break: Skilled street dance requires dancers to have high strength, flexibility and coordination. It belongs to a highly skilled sports dance, so it was first loved by domestic teenagers.
Teenagers who dance this type of dance are called B-Boy/B-Girl. In 1980s, DJ Kool Herc, known as the "father of hip-hop", created the concept of B-Boy, also known as Breaking Boy.
Every year, many countries in the world hold some competitions for B-Boys, the most famous of which are the annual BOTY (Battle of the Year) and the B-Boys Championship held in Britain. Hundreds of players from more than 65,438+00 countries will take part in such activities. The winner of the competition will soon become famous and become the star of teenagers.

At the end of 1960s and the beginning of 1970s, a series of black cultural and artistic forms appeared in American East Coast cities headed by new york, including graffiti or writing, B-Boying, record playing (DJ or Deejay, DJ means disc jockey, that is, the person who controls records) and rap (MCing or Eming).

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.

This is the most popular street dance. From the perspective of dance, it can be divided into two categories: new school and old school.
How to distinguish these two types? We can distinguish between age and action or music type. 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 these street dancers 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 wandered around the streets all day, naturally forming various factions and naturally developing different styles in their dances. The key to the evolution of street dance from the old school to the new school.
This can be traced back to the music of the early old school, which has a very fast beat to match these breakthrough movements. Then with the evolution of HIP-HOP music, people began to understand that BREAKING is not suitable for these new schools and HIP-HOP music (because the so-called new school music is slow-paced, if you do something similar to riding a car or footwork in this slow-paced HIP-HOP music, you will feel completely explosive and even lose your sense of dance). At this time, the dance of the old school and the new school began to separate. About 1986. The dance steps of NEW SCHOOL are very simple, such as the familiar "Running Man", which can be seen in the video of MC HAMMER and bobby brown ... Maybe we can call this "explosive" hip-hop dance at that time funk dance.
The emergence of new HIP-HOP dance However, from the current point of view, these hip-hop dances, which were popular in the period of MC HAMMER and bobby brown, have gradually become the old school. Because at the beginning of 1992, a black dance group called MOP TOP (composed of HENRY LINK, LOOSE JOINT and BUDDHA STRETCH) appeared, and they developed a new style of HIP-HOP.
I call him "primitive hip-hop". He doesn't have the big movements, explosive force and big movements like MC Hammer and bobby brown, and there is no such thing as floor gymnastics in break dancing. His unique style is that he pays attention to the coordination of the body (we call it rhythm).
He attaches importance to the rhythm of the upper body and adds a lot of hand movements, instead of looking at a wide range of movements and footwork like the old hip-hop style. Maybe Henry was just an unknown street dancer at first, but when Michael Jackson's "Remabe the time》MTV appeared, everyone saw this kind of thing I called in situ dancing for the first time.
This new style of dance appeared on MTV, the king of world pop music, and immediately set off a wave. We dare not say what made this Mr. Henry famous, but the dance in Remy Time is his masterpiece.
Later, in Mary Kelly's "Dream Lover" song MTV, we saw a group of black people dancing strangely on a prairie. These dances are a mixture of HIP-HOP, LOCKING, POPING and WAVE, but with B-style R&: HIP-HOP music.
It's hard for us to believe what we see. It was difficult for us to determine what kind of dance it was.
But this is a very important period in the history of the new hip hop, and it is the origin and "culprit" of the new school sweeping the world. The mature stage of new hip hop is called new hip hop. I gave him a definition that all kinds of dances are connected in series, including slow board hip-hop or R &；; B show it.
(This is also a form in the early stage of new learning. ) We can see that in this "R&lover", this group of black dancers led by Henry made incomprehensible dance moves. They locked the fast rhythm in the slow dance rhythm of R&B and expressed it with a new feeling. They no longer do this kind of action that must express locking like nunchakus. They simplify many locking actions. And the standard HIP-HOP left and right rhythms are used to express POPING (machine dance) and LOCKING (lock dance), and WAVE (current) is added to the dance from time to time.
Simply put, it is to interpret these old dance steps with new feelings. Immediately, the new single "Jingle Jingle" released by the famous Japanese hip-hop group and singer ZOO also used this new school hip-hop to express dance in MTV.
Careless ... This new style of street dance has swept the world.
Later, Henry worked as a dance director in Mary Kelly's song Fantasy and recently Honey, followed by TLC's song Creep, a popular but temporarily disbanded women's hip-hop group, and MTV in the movie MIB. We gradually found that this kind of hip-hop has begun to mature.
Of course, you can also see Henry in these MTVs. The most famous MTV in the early stage was TLC's Waterfall, and the "magic shoulder shake" action in MTV made NEW SCHOOL HIP-HOP enter another new stage.
Now the new school has to wear street dance.
