urban dance (la style)
la style (commercial hip hop) includes lyric, jazz funk and street hip hop. It became popular throughout the United States in about 25, and you can often see it in singers such as JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE,USHER,OMARION, etc. In RNB music with obvious musical rhythm, there are many creative dance movements, and the forms and movements are more inclined to JAZZ, but different from new jazz and sexyjazz now, more emphasis is placed on movement control, arrangement and stage effect ... so it is more commercial and focuses on stage performance! ! LA STYLE has been popular all over Europe and America, and even spread to Asia, such as Japan, South Korea and China, and has also begun to create dances with this style.
What is la HIPHOP?
When searching for "LA Style dance" on Google in the United States, there was not even an article or video. All the dance lists in English Wikipedia have the same results. As a popular dance from Los Angeles, how can there be such a strange result? . And in 21 (Beyonce Beyonce) in Beijing concert, when her DANCER(MV, global tour and other exclusive dancers) "Bryan Tanaka" taught in Beijing, China Dancer asked: Does Bryan Tanaka teach LA Style? The answer of "Bryan Tanaka" is that there is no such kind of dance and name as LA Style, which makes us wonder whether LA Style really exists.
After my research with Lao Mi, I found out: Will "LA Style" dance be just another name for the lyric hip-hop dance? A name developed outside the United States is to describe the lyric hip-hop dance. It seems that this name did not originate from the United States, but it has spread to the whole world through the networks of countless Asian and European countries. First of all: someone first submits a video of a Lyrical Hip-hop dance to the Internet and calls it LA Style. Why LA Style? Because Napoleon Buddy D'umo and Tabitha A. D'umo, the main founders of Lyrical Hip-Hop, began to promote this dance in Los Angeles, USA. Later, under many actions of sharing and digging, the name of the so-called LA Style dance was linked to all other similar videos or contents. Therefore, it is natural for later generations to call Lyrical Hip-Hop LA Style.
Lyrical dance is a kind of special emotional dance created with the basic principles of ballet, modern dance and jazz dance. This kind of dance is choreographed with lyrics, and a dance is performed according to the story told by the lyrics.
the second word is Hip-hop In the Hip-hop music culture, the most emotional music type is R&; B。 Therefore, when the Lyrical dance meets the Hip-Hop style, it is R&; B with this new kind of Hip-hop dance, it is called Lyrical hip-hop. Later, this kind of dance was widely spread all over the world through a pair of famous choreographers-Napoleon and tabith d 'umo-and the TV program So You Think You Can Dance.
At present, the Lyrical Hip-hop in China is called LA Style. Therefore, in order to communicate with our students more clearly, we originally chose to call Lyrical Hip-hop LA Style. However, in order to let more friends who love hip-hop know the real dance culture, we consulted a lot of information, videos and various materials, and wrote this article to correct this mistake.
it's suitable for anyone! The main point of Lyrical Hip-hop is the dancer's emotional expression ability. Therefore, your weight, stature, personality and age are not important. The important thing is whether your emotional expression ability can match the feeling expressed by that song.
La Style is a new dance style that originated in Los Angeles, California. It combines the elements of various dance styles. When Shaun Evaristo and Lyle Beniga began to teach dance all over the world, this style has already come into being. Until the establishment of movement lifestyle and the emergence of outstanding dancers such as keone madrid, Mariel Martin, Lando Wilkins, Brian Puspos, Bam Martin, Ian Eastwood and Shit Kingz, this new style began to be carried forward all over the world.
Maybe La Style has not been recognized by the dancers of old school, maybe it doesn't have an exact name, but let's call it La Style for the time being. When teams such as mos wanted crew, shit kingz and quick crew performed in various places, this new style began to attract people's attention and love. At the URBAN DANCE CAMP every year, these excellent dancers teach their choreographed dances to others. In recent years, through continuous development, La Style has become a mature dance style, which dancers use to express the feelings contained in popular songs.
La Style pays great attention to the interpretation of song emotion. If you don't understand the lyrics of a song and start to arrange a song in a freestyle way, it can't be called La Style. Dancers like keone madrid and Brian Puspos pay great attention to the emotions expressed in songs, and their dances can always touch the hearts of the audience.
Shaun Evaristo brought this style to Asia when he made a dance for the solo album of taeyang, a member of Korean group bigbang, and many people began to imitate the dance in taeyang's MV.
before learning La Style, if you don't know its connotation and source, it is always difficult for you to create your own dance. Compared with the dance of old school, La Style has no basic skills to practice, but it is very important to control your body and understand music.
La Style is often regarded as an expression of HIPHOP, which is similar to HIPHOP, but it is actually not a style of HIPHOP. As a brand-new dance style, it will take some time for it to be accepted by dancers in old school, although I don't know who invented the term. However, many people named La Style after Lyrically Hip Hop, which is wrong. Perhaps no one knows what style Lyrically Hip Hop is, but La Style is indeed a dance style that began to spread in Los Angeles, California.
La Style is often applied to the dance production of songs by current singers, which also shows that La Style is a trend of dance development now and in the future.
