Introduction of hiphop dance types in hip hop dance

Literally, Hip-Hop is Hip, and Hop is rocking. Together, the two are a gentle hip twist. It's American disco (unlike us, of course, they shake their hips and we are the heads-_-).

The origin of hip-hop can be summarized by one word "poor". Why do you have to wear a bigger size? In addition to facilitating sports, most black families have a large population and low income, so the clothes worn by older brothers will be worn by younger brothers, forming a style of giant clothes; Why is there graffiti? This thing was originally a symbol of dividing the sphere of influence between gangs in the block, and later it became more and more exquisite and developed into folk art; Why is there street dance? Because they can't afford to go to the ballroom, and the problem of racial discrimination still exists at that time, they may not be able to have fun in the white ballroom if they have money; Why are pure hip-hop works dominated by black and dirty words? Because these black street youths have no future and hope, they hate much more than love.

Hip-hop: (in a broad sense) is a kind of culture, cultural phenomenon, cultural movement and lifestyle that originated from the street.

The history of hip-hop dance

The so-called street dance is the most popular kind of street dance. From the perspective of dance, it can be divided into two categories: new school and old school. How to distinguish these two types? We can distinguish them by age, action or music type. In fact, hip hop is the floorboard of all kinds of hip hop.

In fact, what we call break dancing or old school is also a kind of hip-hop. This old school dance includes locking, popping, breaking and fluctuating. These things (Rock Steady Crew is a famous break dance style group) originated from the impromptu dance movements of American street dancers. Most of these street dancers are black or Mexican. Perhaps it is the so-called "entertainment for the poor". Most of these popular street dances originated in Brooklyn, new york, USA (this area is full of poor blacks or Mexicans). It is natural for these black and Mexican children to dance together in the street all day.

The evolution of street dance

The key to the evolution from the old school to the new school can be traced back to the music of the early old school, which has a very fast beat to match these breakthrough movements. Then, with the evolution of hip-hop music, people began to understand that breaking is not suitable for these new hip-hop music (because the so-called new hip-hop music is slow, if you do some movements like cars or footwork in this slow hip-hop music, you will feel that there is no explosive force at all. Even lost the feeling of dancing. ) At this time, the dances of the old school and the new school began to separate. Around 1986, the dance steps of the new school are very simple, such as the well-known "Running Man", which can be seen in the previous video of MC Hammer and bobby brown ... Maybe we can call this "explosive" hip-hop dance at that time funk dance.

The emergence of a new hip-hop genre

Loose joints. BuddhStretch)。 They developed a new hip-hop style. I call it original hip-hop. Unlike MC Hammer and bobby brown's big moves, explosive and large-scale movements. Break dancing has no gymnastics on the ground. His unique style is that he pays attention to the coordination of the body (we call it rhythm). He attaches importance to the rhythm of the upper body and adds a lot of hand movements. He's not like those old hip-hop anymore. Look at various movements and footwork movements. Maybe Henry was just an unknown street dancer at first. But when Michael Jackson's Remabe the time MTv appeared, everyone saw what I called in-situ dancing for the first time. This new dance style appeared on MTv, the king of pop music in the world. Immediately set off a wave. We dare not say what made this Mr. Henry a hit. But the dance in The Times of Remaby is his masterpiece. Later, in Maria Kelly's R&lover song MTv, we saw a group of black people dancing a strange dance on a grassland. These dances are a mixture of hip hop, lock and pop. Wave (mechanical dance). B-style hip-hop music. It's hard for us to believe what we see. It was difficult for us to determine what kind of dance it was at that time. However, this is a very important period in the history of the development of new hip hop.
