In the 1960s, hip-hop originated in the United States. In the 1970s, hip-hop people competed for territory and often chose fighting to solve the problem. However, it was considered violent, and later they chose to "bullfight" with street basketball. In much the same way, the fighting dance came from this.
The dance battle scene is very high. It is about who dances more handsomely, who has more tricks, and whose moves are more powerful. There is no scoreboard, and the winner or loser is judged by the voice of the audience.
During the dance battle, the dancers not only have to show off their dance, but the challenge between their movements is also a major attraction. This is a war without gunpowder. They must constantly "invade" the opponent and constantly provoke them. , constantly fighting back.
The fighting dance is divided into three parts: group dance, solo dance and three-person dance.
In the group dance, the two major dance groups will show different dance postures to the same music; in the solo dance, one member from each team will perform solo; in the three-person duel dance, each team will send three members, according to the designated The music is performed separately.
You may have seen it in some movies and TV dramas. Dancers will use various materials as props according to local conditions, such as tables. Sometimes they lean on the table and meditate, sometimes they make funny expressions, and sometimes they get under the table. Down, and then up again, every time this moment is the breaking point of the atmosphere at the scene. Whether you can win by surprise depends on whether you receive applause or boos
In order to compete for territory, early hip-hop people often chose They used fighting to solve the problem, but it was later considered to be violent, so they chose a competition similar to street basketball, that is, dance fighting.
Compared with who can dance better, who has more tricks, and who can dance better. Whoever makes a beautiful move wins, and usually someone with strong credibility is required to be the referee. There are also many voices from the audience to judge who is stronger.
As it developed later, this method gradually became the street nature of hip-hop, which can be used to build the foundation of the dance casino (see Street Dance Boys)
This method still exists in foreign countries today. However, when hip-hop is becoming more and more popular and valued by people, many hip-hop competitions have emerged. In the competition, judging who is stronger is also solved by fighting dance and group dance.
I would also like to say that the dance moves below are actually quite popular, and there are many strong hints, such as sexual movements, etc. However, these things should be avoided in major competitions in our country. This is determined by national conditions.
There are many unique movements in fighting dance, which are equivalent to industry language, the so-called jargon, but they are not spoken, but expressed with movements. There are too many to list them all.
Fighting exists in all elements in hip-hop. BATTLE, whether it is graffiti, streetball or MC, can all fight. Needless to say, streetball, the graffiti battle is relatively static, that is, a better PIC is painted next to the opponent's work, and the winner can overwrite the loser's work.
