Many countries around the world hold competitions for B-Boys, the more famous being the annual BOTY (Battle of The Year) and the B-BoyChampion in the UK, where hundreds of contestants from over 10 countries take part in such events. The winners of the competitions quickly gain notoriety and become teenage stars.

6. Seek knowledge and methods of street dance
HIPHOP Street Dance Types HIPHOP Street Dance Types HIPHOP Street Dance Types The so-called HIP-HOP DANCE.
It is one of the most widely popular types of street dance now. If we look at it from the point of view of dance, it can be divided into two categories: NEW SCHOOL as well as OLD SCHOOL.
How to distinguish these two types? We can differentiate them by age and movement, or by the type of music. HIP-HOP is a general term for all kinds of street dance. In fact, what we call BREAKING DANCE or OLD SCHOOL is also a kind of HIP-HOP.
This kind of OLD SCHOOL dance contains LOCKING (locking), POPING (mechanical dance), BREAKING (breakdancing), WAVE (electric current) these things (this breakdancing style of dance is a famous group is Rock Steady Crew). He originated from the improvised dance moves of dancers in the streets of America.
These street dancers were mostly black or Mexican. Perhaps the so-called "poor man's entertainment", these popular street dancers originated in Brooklyn, New York (a neighborhood populated by poor blacks and Mexicans.)
These black dancers are the most popular in the United States.
These black and Mexican kids were hanging out in the streets all day, dancing, and naturally forming various factions, and naturally developing different styles of dance in their dances.
This can be traced back to the early days of OLD SCHOOL music, which had a very fast beat to match these BREAKING moves, and then with the evolution of HIP-HOP music, people began to understand that BREAKING was not suitable for NEW SCHOOL, HIP-HOP music (because the so-called NEW SCHOOL music was slower). If you do a footwork or a footwork in this kind of slow hip-hop music, you won't feel any explosive power, and you will even lose your sense of dance). At this time OLD SCHOOL and NEW SCHOOL dance began to separate, that is in 1986 or so early NEW SCHOOL dance steps are very simple, such as the familiar "slide" (running man) This in the previous MC HAMMER and Bobby Brown's VIDEO of the
The emergence of NEW SCHOOL HIP-HOP, however, is still being viewed through the eyes of the present. In the early '92, a black dance group called MOP TOP (ELITE FORCE) (consisting of HENRY LINK, LOOSE JOINT, and BUDDHA STRETCH) emerged and developed a new style of hip-hop.
I call it "in situ hip-hop," but it's not like the big, explosive, wide-ranging moves of MC HAMMER and Bobby Brown's time, and it's not like breakdancing where you're doing gymnastics on the floor. His style is unique in that he focuses on the coordination of the body (what we call rhythm).
He emphasizes the upper body and adds a lot of hand movements, unlike the old style of hip-hop that focused on wide movements and footwork. Henry may have started out as an unknown street dancer, but it was when Mike Jackson's "Remabe the Time" MTV came out that we first saw what I call "in situ" dancing.
This new style of dancing took off immediately after the King of Pop's MTV appearance. We can't say what made Mr. Henry so popular, but the dance in "Remabe the Time" is his masterpiece.
Later on, in MTV's "Dreamlover", we see a group of black men wearing nothing but pants in a meadow dancing in a strange style. These dances are a mix of hip-hop, locking, popping, and waving, all to the R&B hip-hop of "Dreamlover".
It was hard to believe what we were seeing. It was hard to tell what kind of dance it was.
But this is a very important part of the history of NEW SCHOOL HIP-HOP, and it's the origin of and the "culprit" for the worldwide popularity of NEW SCHOOL, the mature phase of NEW SCHOOL HIP-HOP, the so-called NEW SCHOOL HIP-HOP, which I give a name to. The new SCHOOL HIP-HOP is the mature stage of what is known as NEW SCHOOL HIP-HOP, which I define as the combination of various different types of dances together in a fast and slow HIP-HOP or R&B performance.
(This was also a form of NEW SCHOOL in the early days.) In "Dreamlover", we see a group of black dancers, led by Henry, who do an unfathomable dance move, combining locking, which used to be a fast-paced dance, in a slow, R&B style, and a slow, R&B style, which is a great way to get your feet wet. B's slow dance music rhythm to a new feeling to express it, they no longer do this must be similar to nunchaku like throwing arm like action to show LOCKING (locking dance), they simplified many LOCKING (locking dance) action. They simplified many of the LOCKING moves and used the standard hip-hop left and right rhythms to express POPING and LOCKING, and also added WAVE from time to time in the dance.
Simply put, it's about interpreting these old dance steps with a new feeling. The new single "Jingle Bells" by ZOO, a famous Japanese street dance group and singer, uses this kind of NEW SCHOOL HIP-HOP to express the dance in MTV.
The new style of street dance has been gaining popularity at ....... This new style of street dance has been popularized all over the world.
Slowly, HENRY has been choreographed on Malia Kelly's song "Fantasy" and more recently "Honey," followed by the likes of a song by TLC, a girl hip-hop group that disbanded after a breakup. We're slowly realizing that this kind of hip-hop is starting to mature, with songs like "Creep" by the previously popular and disbanded female hip-hop group TLC and the MTV for the movie MIB.
(Of course, HENRY can be seen in these MTVs as well.) The most famous of these is the song "Creep" by TLC and the movie "MIB". One of the most famous MTV's was TLC's "Waterfalls", which featured the "magical shoulder shaking" move that brought NEW SCHOOL HIP-HOP to a whole new level.
Now NEW SCHOOL HIP-HOP DANCE has to be admired.
