Skill-based street dance
Requires dancers to have a high degree of strength, flexibility and coordination, belonging to the more skillful sports dance, so it is the first for the country's young people love. Teenagers who dance this type of dance are called B-Boy/B-Girl.
In the 1980s, DJ Kool Herc, known as the "Father of Hip-Hop," created the concept of the B-Boy, also known as the Breaking Boy.
Every year, there are a number of events for B-Boys in many countries around the world. Every year, many countries around the world hold competitions for B-Boys, the most famous being the annual BOTY (Battle of The Year) and the B-Boy Champion in the UK, where 100s of contestants from over 10 countries take part. The winners of the competitions quickly gain notoriety and become teenage stars.
Hip-Hop
The word Hip-Hop, which translates to hip-hop in Chinese, was born in 1974 in New York, USA, and was invented by the famous DJ and MC Love Bug Starski. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, a series of black cultural art forms emerged in the East Coast cities of the United States, led by New York, which include: graffiti (Graffiti or Writing), bebop or breakdancing (B-Boying), disc jockeying (DJing or Deejay, DJ refers to Disk Jockey, meaning disc jockey, that is, the person who harnesses the record), rap (DJ), and music. records), rap (MCing or Emcee, MC is Master of Ceremony, meaning Master of Ceremony).
The word hip-hop was originally used by Love Bug Stalsky to rhyme with the word "hip," which means "ass," and "hop," which means "bouncing," which together can be interpreted as bouncing ass. Bambaataa, the "godfather" of hip-hop, borrowed the term hip-hop to collectively refer to the black urban cultural movement represented by the above four forms of culture, which was soon widely accepted, and the above four cultures became what we usually refer to as the four elements of hip-hop.
Hip-Hop translates as hip-hop, and RAP translates as rap, which are different concepts; Hip-Hop is not actually a musical term but a cultural term that includes four parts: rap, graffiti, street dance, and DJ beatboxing; RAP originated in the '60s, and Hip-Hop as a musical understanding originated in the '70s; Hip-Hop as a musical understanding originated in the '70s, and RAP as a musical understanding originated in the '70s. -Hop, on the other hand, originated in the early '70s, and its predecessor was RAP (sometimes with a little R(B).
Hip-Hop literally means Hip is Hip and Hop is hopping on one foot, which together add up to a light twisting and swinging of the hips, and originally referred to street dance in its infancy stage (what we used to call breakdancing), before it evolved into a huge concept - what we Hip-hop culture now includes baggy clothes, heavy gold jewelry, and the habit of saying "YoYo? what's up?" -In short, it's about the way black people live in America's ghetto neighborhoods and what they're like.
There are many styles of dance, including Popping, Locking, Electric, Turbo and House. None of them require as much skill as Breaking, but they require more coordination and sense of movement, as well as flexibility and control of the dancer's body. Good Hip-Hop Dancers also need hard practice. Because Hip-Hop Dance is not as skillful as Breaking and lacks competition, it was not given enough attention by street dance enthusiasts before, but now with the enhancement of the concept of dance, this situation has changed, and even B-Boys have started practicing and many all-around good street dancers have appeared.
Hip-Hop is one of the most common dances that people come across, and it has a wide range of simple steps that are capable of showing a complex sense of dance. Because it is easy to learn and looks good, it is very popular

Lockin
Don Campbell invented the lockin (also known as Campbellockin), a unique improvisational dance step, in a nightclub in Los Angeles around the 1970s. The step and its associated culture soon spread and created a frenzy that led to a new television program called Soul Train. In this program, dancers performed rapid-fire locking and pointing moves, accompanied by hand slaps and splits to illustrate their own unique styles. Don started the improvisational dance of "Campbellocking" and has continued to make it more and more stylish. He and his partner Damita Jo Freeman toured with the Soul Train crew at the time, and soon after Don formed another group that focused on locking improvisational solos, called the Campbellocking Dancers. The group consisted of Don Campbell, Fred "Mr. Penguin" Berry, Charles Robot, Slim Robot, and Sambo Lock, and the way they performed was that the dancers would come out in a straight line, solo, and then go back. During that time Greg Campbellock Jr., Scooby doo Foster, Leo Fluky Luke, Tony Go-Go, Buddy Go-Go, and Skeeter Rabbit were inventing new steps, which were later standardized, just as they are now.

Based on the standard of era, street dance can be classified as Old School and New School. can be divided into two categories: Old School and New School, the former being the street dance style of the 1980s, and the latter arising in the 1990s, with considerable changes in music and movement.
Old School
Old School music has a very fast beat to match the Breaking moves, and then with the evolution of Hip-Hop music, the Hip-Hop tempo slowed down, and the Breaking moves were not suitable. Because if in this kind of slow Hip-Hop music in the windmill or row leg (Footwork) and other movements, will feel a little explosive power is not, and even lose its sense of dance. That's when the Old School and New School dances began to separate, around 1986.
In the early days, New School's dance moves were very simple, such as the familiar "Running Man" (滑步), which can be seen in MC Hammer's and Babby Brown's music videos, and was also known as the "Funky Dance". However, the popularity of this dance from the days of MC Hammer and Babby Brown has gradually turned into Old School.
The emergence of New School
In early 1992, a black dance group called Mop Top (Elite Force), comprised of Henry Link, Loose Joint, Babby Brown and the Mop Top, was founded by the late Henry Link, Loose Joint and Babby Brown. Henry Link, Loose Joint, and Buddha Stretch), a black dance group called Mop Top (Elite Force), developed a new style of hip-hop, an "indigenous hip-hop". It is not like MC Hammer and Babby Brown period of big movements, wide range of movement, not to mention the breakdancing in those similar to gymnastics movements. Its unique style focuses on the coordination of the body (what we call rhythm), emphasizes the rhythm of the upper body and adds a lot of hand movements, unlike the old style of Hip-Hop that emphasized wide range of movement and footwork. Later, Michael Jackson's Remember The Time was released. Jackson's Remember The Time MTV utilized Henry's new style of dance, which immediately started a trend. Later, Malia Kelly's Dreamlover song MTV used a richer New School dance, these dances are mixed with Locking (lock dance), Poping (machine dance), Wave (current) these things. At the time, it was difficult to determine what kind of dance it was, but it was an important part of the history of New School Hip-Hop, and it was the origin of the worldwide popularity of New School. [New School's mature stage New School Hip-Hop is a mixture of different types of dance, expressed in a light and slow Hip-Hop or R&B song. This was the early stage of New School, Henry and others simplified a lot of Locking moves, and used standard Hip-Hop rhythms to express Poping and Locking, and also added Wave in the dance from time to time, which simply means interpreting the old dance steps with a new feeling. Later on, Henry worked as a choreographer on Malia Kelly's song Fantasy and later on Honey, and Hip-Hop started to mature in the song Creep by the popular female Hip-Hop group TLC and in the MTV of the movie "MIB".
New School Hip-Hop Dance Now
When this New School Hip-Hop became popular in Japan, the Japanese developed their own style of dance, New School Hip-Hop, using Old School music. New School started out as a way to express old dances to new music styles, but now it has become a way to interpret new dances to old music styles. In terms of movement, recent New School Hip-Hop has more variations, with more twisting and contortions of the body, and less and less of what is known as regularity in dance. [edit paragraph] Street Dance in China The earliest contact of Chinese teenagers with street dance began in the 1980s with the American movie Break Dance, when Break Dance was the predecessor of the current Breaking. As Chinese teenagers gained a deeper understanding of street dance, they gradually returned to its roots and practiced it with their own vision and characteristics.
Besides the early breakdancing, young people all over China have been practicing street dance since the mid-1990s. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, because of the developed information, street dance is carried out earlier; Zhengzhou, Henan Province, due to the close relationship between the Central Plains martial arts culture and street dance, Breaking dance also started earlier. Nowadays, there are young people practicing street dance all over the country, and in the street squares of various cities, they can pile up their training figures. They also often organize small competitions (Battle, ballast dance/scramble dance), and the best dancers can win the admiration of many teenagers.
The youth's passion for street dance has led to a proliferation of street dance applications, from arts and culture to commercials. We can see that in the music videos of many famous artists, such as Jay Chou, Chen Xiaochun, Xiao Yaxuan, and Wen Lan, the street-dancing teenagers appear frequently, and the commercial advertisements of brands such as Nike, Li Ning, Season 5, Huiyuan, Jinti, and Nokia, etc., use street-dancing styles and frequently bombard the vision of young consumers. In the dance drama "Notre Dame de Paris" staged at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing in early 2003, a large number of street dance moves were applied, forming a unique cultural landscape.
With the rise of national fitness activities, street dance as a kind of fitness movement has also entered the fitness centers of major cities. Many professional practitioners of dance, opera and acrobatics have also begun to practice street dance, and street dance has spread widely in various art schools. On university campuses, many dance clubs have also organized themselves to practice street dance; it is more common for secondary school students to engage in street dance activities after school, and they have formed a community culture unique to young people in the residential communities of major cities. A few years ago, CCTV's 5-set sports channel opened a street dance teaching program (although the teaching was not pure street dance), and 3-set Dance World broadcast a special program on street dance before the Spring Festival in 2003, which was filmed by BeiDaTang. As a popular cultural and sports activity for young people, street dance has spread widely across the country.
Street dance is both fitness and mental health
Most fitness people experience that fitness is good, but it is difficult to adhere to. Street dance, on the other hand, with its richness and fun, allows practitioners to always train with a smile on their face.
Experts generally believe that the improvisation, honesty, relaxation and passionate energy characteristics of street dance help to relax the body and mind, which is related to the dynamic rhythm of street dance, the fun of tumbling and loose dress. It has no particular fixed style or pattern, everyone dances with a different feeling, and it is easy to release oneself. First of all, in the body, it involves the body movements exaggerated, explosive force, in the context of the coherent combination of multiple parts of the body movements, the small joints and small muscle movement is more, can enhance the usual general exercise is not easy to move the muscle parts of the elasticity of the effect of weight loss; street dance on the body's coordination, flexibility is also helpful in improving the body's body proportion is more reasonable.
It regulates and relieves the role of the psyche, mainly in the dancers in the process of interpreting the connotation of the music, as the street dance is not like gymnastics, there is a prescribed action, but to let the dancers play, in the re-creation of the expression of the space to be broadened, to fully demonstrate their own styles, so that the qualities of street dance in the best possible way to play. The fun, richness and randomness of street dance can improve the cardiorespiratory function in aerobic exercise and make the suppressed nerves and body relax at the same time. Street dance for fitness and fitness of the role of the heart with other programs is not a horizontal comparison of effectiveness, but moderate street dance exercise first for physical health is safe, followed by the pursuit of the effect of exercise. This program is more youthful, more energetic, relatively high intensity, so especially suitable for young people, its fitness effect is better than the effect of low intensity fitness program.
Experienced coaches in the street dance class, often more concerned about whether everyone is happy and enjoyable, whether the action is unrestrained and spontaneous, whether to achieve a complete psychological relaxation, which is also an important reason why urban office workers like it. Through the movement of street dance is to give vent to the stress of life to the fullest.
Learning street dance age and suitable type
Street dance is divided into two categories, hiphop dancing and breakin.
First of all, breakin, this is a skillful street dance, belonging to the old school, inverted, spinning and so on, this is it. breakin has a sub-styles, power move. The style refers to the freeze-based routine, and the power move focuses on the windmill, Thomas, and other connection changes.

Poppin, mainly pop and rhythm, focusing on music, including Anymation, Wave, Tick, etc.

house footwork movement is a lot, has been stepping on the point.
There are many more, like krumping and whatnot, but they are all a bit off, or categorized into some big dance styles, so I won't introduce them all. [edit paragraph] Street Dance Knowledge Primer Street Dance Classification
Hip hop is one of the most commonly encountered dances, which has a wide range of simple steps and is able to show a complex sense of dance. Because it is easy to learn and look good, it is very popular among the public.
Poppin utilizes the muscles and joints of all parts of the body to create amazing dance steps to the beat of the music, coupled with one's own rich imagination. It is a more difficult type of street dance.
Breakdancing, also a more difficult type of dance, can be broadly categorized into two types: spinning on the floor with the hands, head, and body, known as the big floor; stepping on the floor with the limbs to create a complex change in footwork, coupled with tricky inversions, known as the small floor. Of course, dancing at the same time you can also feel free to go with the action you want to show
Free style this is a kind of out of the blue dance steps, it will be a mixture of various types of dance, as you wish to show, without the limitations of the style of dance, out of the norms of the general dance, it can be said to be a kind of personalized street dance
House along with the House music, the use of complex and magical step performance. Using complex and magical steps to express a kind of dance, it can be added to the Latin dance twists, martial arts flips, tap's basic steps and ballet's spinning, jumping up can be very elegant, but also quite wild
Clothing hints
Large T-shirts, dragging the floor of the multi-pocketed pants, baseball hats, tight tank tops, sneakers and so on can be your choice, but to remind you, in the While pursuing fashion and personalization, don't neglect the beauty, if it doesn't suit you, it will just look "weird" but not beautiful.
HIP-HOP Beginner
Can choose some HIP-HOP music to adapt to the rhythmic characteristics, and with the HIP-HOP rhythm of a few random dance. When learning with the coach, follow the coach's program to break down the movements, such as learning the lower limbs first, then gradually add the upper limbs, head and other movements, first slow and then fast do not rush.
The fitness value of HIP-HOP
The movement is explosive and strong, and it is mostly based on the movement around the ring and small joints, so it can better improve the coordination of the practitioners, and make the body not often move to the small joints and small muscle groups can be fully exercised. In addition, the intensity of the exercise is moderate, with the effect of aerobic exercise, so that the practitioner in improving the main lung function at the same time, to achieve the purpose of weight loss. Practitioners can also choose different rhythms of music to adjust the intensity of the exercise according to their own physical condition and the basis of the exercise.
Street dance types
First, POP mechanical dance. Second, LOCKING lock dance. Third, BREAKING break dance. Fourth, WAVEING current dance. The above four for the father and mother of the street dance, combined with the birth of a new street dance children have two kinds: HIPHOP DANCE and HOUSE DANCE. these are alien and perverted, I think so that we should be able to explain easier to understand and absorb.
In fact, in addition to the six categories of street dance, there are two other forms of street dance: NEW SCHOOL DANCE and OLD SCHOOL DANCE. as if a lot of annoyance, there are not a whole lot of don't panic! I'm washing your brain!
The next thing I want to tell you is the essence of POP DANCE: it originated from robotic movements and forms. I remember when the King of Pop, Mike Jackson, synchronized his dance with a robot on national television (around 1969), and it's been popular ever since, amazing! The key point is the 'staccato point'. Unleash the power at once. Instead of a robot, the staccato point of mechanical dance is not so heavy, but just sliding through a sudden stop. Mechanical dance requires a lot of isolation (one side of the body moves and the rest of the body doesn't move). But popping doesn't, it's better to have your whole body vibrating (depending on the situation). The use of popping will be each beat point jam, preferably with the music jam just right, how to "jam"? ..... Simply put, the muscles are instantly tightened, and relatively speaking, the muscles are loosened up when they are not jammed, but they are not just flopping around.
The second is LOCKUNG DANCE lock dance - it is understood that this is by the ancient cave blacks, saw the cave Chinese play nunchucks the appearance of the development of street dance, two hands fling to fling really like nunchucks! I admire the unique creativity of the black people here, the so-called natural dance music nation. Mostly hand movements. There are many styles and there is no right or wrong way to do it. There is no right or wrong way to do it. You can add a lot of things to it after you transform it. It is divided into two parts: Twist & Lock. (I can't explain it clearly with words, if you want to know, please contact your school's hot dance club.) Anyway, Lock is a bit like popping, while twist is a bit difficult to practice, and it's not easy to make it look good. It's really hard to explain this in words. To put it simply, Locking emphasizes on the feeling of the point, although this is the prerequisite for every kind of dance, in the Locker's opinion, the posture, direction, angle, and even the momentum of the point must be strictly required, otherwise it's not considered as Locking. The fact that you can't do Locking is a real cause for concern!
BREAKING DANCE Breakdance - which combines Chinese Kung Fu - really can't stand to give it marvelous! Chinese Kung Fu is added to many BREAKING DANCE moves, such as flips, lunges, rolls, falls... all kinds of weird tricks. All kinds of weird moves, awesome, right! You won't be able to do it if you haven't practiced it (except for geniuses). There are - leg rows, front and back side air/hand flips, jumping spins, frog spins, windmills, helicopters, thunderbolt drops, pommel horse, head spins... and all kinds of combinations. Spinning is the main focus, with flips as a supplement. But definitely not monkeying around...there's a fair amount of danger in it.
As for the WAVE DANCE current dance - it has a lot of dance movements and concepts like electrical conductivity, wave to be able to transmit to every part of the body is considered to be practiced. As long as you have a good understanding of it, you will be able to master it, it's a bit hard but not too hard!
The R&B is a new and exciting way to get your feet wet.
S RAVE: This is the new generation of hip hop instead of hip hop. The reason for this is that there is no fixed beat, and it is usually a shiny, slender person who jumps (I haven't seen a fat guy jumping). rave is a very confident woman, and there are some drunken playboys mixing in it (Brain full of SEX all night!). What are NEW SCHOOL and OLD SCHOOL? The east coast of the United States, New York ---- originated NEW STYLE of NEW SCHOOL DANCE, because they put the four street dance elements I mentioned above fused together, and then modified and deformed, then it is the beautiful NEW SCHOOL DANCE. Then say the west coast of L.A. - more popular OLD SCHOOL DANCE, that is to say, they are from the original flavor, not the original flavor, not the original flavor. That is to say, they are in the original flavor, not the street dance deformation perversion, to strengthen their own style, you can find that the dancers over there, will be their own expertise in the street dance project dance is very magical, can be said to be out of the blue, but does not mean that everyone.
