Often the hardest part of hip-hop is the feeling. So how can we practice that feeling?

Step 1: First of all, you have to love HIP-HOP several times more than anyone else.

Step 2: Go to your neighborhood music studio or video store and buy a CD or cassette of hip-hop dance music.

Step 3: Pick what you think is the best bass stereo around (to better practice your groove).

Step 4: Pick the CD you bought that makes your heart beat the hardest.

Step 5: Make the music as loud as you can and follow the thud of the music! Ta-da! Work on your shoulders (let your shoulders just shake back and forth); you'll find it boring at first, but they're the most important part of a hip-hop dance.

Step 6: Continue from the previous step and work on bouncing your legs and knees up and down.

Step 7: Follow the music and practice moving your left and right legs backward and forward one step at a time.

Step 8: Practice the flexibility of your hand joints (from your finger tips to your shoulders like a wave, both left and right hands).

Step 9: Practice your toes. Follow the music and practice walking on your toes only, bouncing back and forth on your toes. This will take your senses to the next level as well. Be careful not to hit the ground on all sides of your feet when practicing this step.

Step 10: Combine all of the above steps and shake your body all over the place, and you'll have the basis for your hip-hop groove.

It's usually a good idea to have a large mirror to practice in when you're starting out. You will feel bored and tired when you start practicing. Because hip-hop is not a dance, but it is no less tiring, you must have the willpower to keep practicing. Some people may not feel it when practicing, but don't think that you don't have the talent. Many famous dancers feel it suddenly when they are walking or when they don't realize it. So you too can become the face of hip-hop by practicing.
