Hip hop dance
Dance is the hidden language of the soul
Hip hop dance is a range of street dance styles
primarily performed to hip hop music or that have evolved as part of hip
hop culture. It is influenced by a wide range of styles that were
created in the 1970s and made popular by dance crews in the United
States. The television show Soul Train and the 1980s films Breakin',
Beat Street, and Wild Style showcased these crews and dance styles in
their early stages; therefore, giving hip-hop dance mainstream exposure.
The dance industry responded with a commercial, studio-based version of
hip-hop—sometimes called "new style"—and a hip-hop influenced style of
jazz dance called "jazz-funk". Classically trained dancers developed
these studio styles in order to create choreography from the hip-hop
dances that were performed on the street. Because of this development,
hip-hop dance is practiced in both dance studios and outdoor spaces.
