What kinds of dances are there in street dance?

Locking originated in the 1960s and was invented by the Lockers team led by Don Cambell. This is the earliest street dance. The rapid rotation and pointing of the wrist and arm, the sudden freeze of the action, accompanied by various techniques such as clapping, jumping and splitting are its main characteristics.

Popping originated in the early 1970s and took shape in the middle and late 1970s. It rose in different forms in San Francisco, Fresno, Oakland and other places on the west coast of the United States. This is a funk and hip-hop style. The initial basic form is the technique of rapid contraction and relaxation of muscles of various parts, which is the feeling of the dancer's body vibration.

Breaking originated in 1970s, and was formed in Bronx, new york, USA in 1980s. It is a kind of street dance with higher difficulty, which pays more attention to the combination of dance steps and skills. It is divided into four parts: top rock, footwork, freeze frame and Powermove.

Hip-Hop (hip-hop) originated in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and it is the second hip-hop after the break. Hip-hop originally meant B-Boy, and later people danced with songs sung by MC, so it was actually later that B-Boy was the origin of hip-hop.

House was formed in 1980s and 1990s, and widely absorbed various dance elements such as break dance, Hiphop, Salsa, Tap and ballet. And formed a variety of dances to express House dance music with rich and brisk pace changes, which are divided into three categories: jacking, footwork and lofting.

Reggae and Dancehall originated in Jamaica. With the spread and development of reggae music in France and the United States, they began to enter popular culture and public view, and their actions were enthusiastic and wild, with a lot of sexual hints.

Clown and Krump (Clown Dance) were invented by Tommy the Clown in the early 1990s. They danced in clown costumes, which is similar to Hiphop's style, but more wild and exaggerated.

His disciples Lil C, Tight Eyez and others left the team to start a business. They made a lot of changes to the clown dance, calling it Krump, which implied the powerful praise of the golden radial uplift, and interpreted it as a dance to praise God by venting and sublimating the negative emotions in the heart through intense movements.

Waacking, Punking and Voguing were formed in the 1970s, originally as stage dances of gay men in underground gay bars on the west coast of the United States. Disco and funk music are expressed by a large number of rotating arms and coquettish gestures and walks. Punking originally refers to Waacking performed by Locking dancers, while Voguing is a form in which Waacking expresses house music on the east coast of the United States and particularly highlights the sense of pose of models.

Turfing, which appeared on the west coast of the United States, is characterized by non-human fractures of the arm at the joints such as shoulders. It is a strange and exaggerated new type of street dance, which combines a lot of styles and techniques such as Popping, Robot, Wave, Kingtut, Slide and Slowmotion, as well as the body rotation and turnover of ballet, Breaking and other dances.

1992 at the beginning, there was a kind of "in-situ hip-hop", without those big moves and footwork movements, not to mention the ground movements similar to gymnastics in break dancing. Its unique style lies in paying attention to the coordination of the body, attaching importance to the rhythm of the upper body, and adding a lot of head and hand movements. We can see this new dance style in Michael Jackson, Maria Kelly and Backstreet Boys's MTV.

Teenagers in China first came into contact with hip-hop, starting from the American film "Break Dance" in 1980s, when break dance was the predecessor of Breaking. With the deepening of China teenagers' understanding of hip-hop, they gradually return to the origin of hip-hop and practice hip-hop in China with their own vision and characteristics.

In addition to early break dancing, teenagers all over the country began to practice street dance in the mid-1990s. In Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, street dance started earlier because of the developed information. In Zhengzhou, Henan Province, because of the close relationship between martial arts culture in the Central Plains and street dance, break dancing also started earlier.

They often organize small competitions (fighting, folk dancing and spell dancing), and the dancers with the best kung fu can win the admiration of many teenagers for street dance teaching videos.
