Hip Hop Dance

Hip-hop novelty and fad dances are popularized dance moves rather than dance styles that are often performed at parties. Many of these fad dances were created by musical artists such as MC Hammer, who created the Hammer dance, and Digital Underground, who created the Humpty dance. The Hammer dance and the Humpty dance were nationally known dance moves that became wildly popular and then faded as the song they were associated with lost popularity. Other examples include the running man, Harlem shake, Soulja boy, Aunt Jackie, crip walk, the Shoulder Lean, and the snap dance.
