What Do You Know About Hip Hop Dance?
If you don't know anything else, you probably already know that hip hop has the beat that makes you want to get up and dance. But what do you really know about hip hop dance? Did you know that this energetic dancing evolved with hip hop music and street jazz? It's true. Today, hip hop has taken its place alongside ballet, tap, jazz and ballroom dancing; to name a few.
The first notice of hip hop dance dates back to the 70's when some new moves were introduced to the dance world to accompany the funky sounds of hip hop music that was also being discovered. Most popular among African Americans and Latin Americans at first, there are many races who now lay claim to defining this diverse dance phenomenon.
Across the United States from the 'Boogie Down' Bronx, New York to the 'Beat Street' corners of Compton, California, young people everywhere took to this new style of dancing that included such feats as breaking, popping, locking, gliding, ticking, vibrating and krumping. In the earlier days, some hip hop dance moves such as the Humpty Dance were made popular by hip hop artists who had created the songs from which these dances were derived.
Early on, dance competitions on sidewalks included beat boxing, a form of music-making that included raps and special sound effects made with the hands and mouth. Artists like The Fat Boys rose to fame and fortune with Buffy's beat boxing talents.
After the outbreak of interest in hip hop dance, there were even several movies highlighting this new form of dancing that combined beats, sounds, and gravity-defying moves. Crush Groove and other movies saw their day in the spotlight as hip hop dance continued to expand to different cultures and races and locations around the globe.
From freestyle forms that were often the spotlight of informal battles both indoors and outdoors to formally trained dancers who began to incorporate hip hop dance as a means of dance and physical exercise, hip hop dance has continued to evolve. Today, hip hop dance has earned a recognized place in dance studios and is practiced as regularly as other styles.
Whether hip hop dance was the brain child of some who were simply looking for another form of expression or the intentional genius of creative souls who were looking to put another dance expression into the mix of music is not clear. What is clear is that hip hop music has survived challenge and change and fought its way into the dance scene around the world.
In 2005, the popular television show "So You Think You Can Dance" presented yet another platform for hip hop dance artists to display their talents while competing for fame and fortune against other recognized dance forms such as ballet, tap, jazz and ballroom.

Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, or Acrobatics?
I'm thinking about starting to take dance lessons. A couple of years ago I took ballet and then had to quit for some reasons. Now I want to start dance again but I'm not sure if I should take ballet again or try something new. Can you tell me about each one and an like the pros and cons... sorta..
thank you
Ballet:
Pro-gives you grace, poise and its just plain beautiful
Con-You work your butt of 24/7 and it's the hardest style of dance when done right. Takes so much work.
Jazz:
Pro-I like to say its a dirty ballet. You have the fundamentals of ballet but its sassy and fun
Con-You dont learn everything like in ballet. I love jazz though so there isnt really a con to me.
Hiphop:
Pro-its so much fun and you can learn to freestyle and dance anywhere
Con-it wont get you cery far
Acrobatics:
Pro-you get extremely strong and flexible
Con-its not dance.
I would say do Jazz. I know i say it because im in it but its the best of all worlds. its not stiff like ballet sometimes is but its not too loose or all over like hiphop. with jazz you can have fun with it. its sassy and fun and sexy. its just a fun dance to dance!

The Jazz $6.99 Melissa Scott, winner of the John W. Campbell Award, twice winner of the Lambda Award for best novel, and author of the cyberpunk classic, Trouble and Her Friends, returns with a hip novel of the media-dominated future, when the internet is filled with Jazz: intentional misinformation and bewildering disinformation that are both an artform and a business. Tin Lizzy, a respected Jazz artist with a checkered past, is a theatrical Web site designer who does backgrounds for Jazz productions. When a nifty new script shows up on the web, Lizzy is surprised to learn it came from a teenage boy named Keyz. It turns out Keyz used his parents' access codes to borrow a Hollywood studio's editing program- the true, hidden source of the studio's success. Now the studio head wants to lock him in jail and throw away the key. So Lizzy rescues him and takes him on the road, across the altered landscape of twenty-first century USA, trying to stay one step ahead of the police . . . . and the vengeance of a megalomaniac CEO. The Jazz is a road chase novel of the future, filled with shady characters, close calls, and colorful neat ideas. |
