HIP - HOP is the general name of a variety of street dance, including mechanical dance, breakdancing and so on. It originated from the improvisational dance moves of American street dancers. These street dancers are mainly black or Mexican, and most of these popular street dances originated in Brooklyn, New York, U.S.A.

In the early 1992s, a kind of "in situ HIP-HOP" appeared, which does not have those drastic movements and footwork, and it is a kind of "Hip Hop". It doesn't have all the big movements and footwork, and it doesn't have the gymnastic movements on the floor that breakdancing has. Its unique style is to focus on the coordination of the body, the importance of the body's upper body rhythm and increase a lot of head, hand movements. We can see this new style of dance in the MTV of Mike Jackson, Mariah Carey and the Backstreet Boys.
In the daily training of professional aerobics athletes, this HIP--HOP is often used to train the athletes' coordination, expressive and other comprehensive qualities, and sometimes also for performance. In the street dance in the external performance of fashion, sports intensity moderate, so it into the gym will become possible. However, street dance in the gym pays more attention to its safety, exercise value, health and personality expression in the choice of movements, so the practitioners consume fat while relieving mental stress. I personally think that hip-hop in the gym plays a more prominent role in regulating the psychology of the practitioners. This is why some people call it "the only sport that makes you train with a smile on your face".
