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.

The Notorious IBE is a Dutch based international breaking competition founded in 1998. IBE is a non-traditional competition because there are no stages and no judges. Instead, there are timed competitive events that take place in large arena-style ciphers—circular dance spaces surrounded by observers—where the winners are determined by audience approval. There are several kinds of events such as the b-girl crew battle, the Seven 2 Smoke battle (8 top ranked b-boys battle each other to decide the overall winner), the All vs. All continental battle (all the American b-boys vs. all the European b-boys vs. the Asian b-boys vs. Mexican/Brazilian b-boys), and the Circle Prinz IBE (International Breakdance Event). The Circle Prinz IBE is a b-boy knockout tournament that takes place in multiple smaller cipher battles until the last standing b-boy is crowned. IBE also host the European tournament for the UK B-Boy Championships.

Top 10 BBOY Kill The Beat

B-Boy Summit is an international four day conference created in 1994 in San Diego, CA.[21][22] The conference includes a breaking competition, panels, workshops, and a marketplace. The difference between the B-Boy Summit and other hip-hop dance competitions is that the B-Boy Summit places a lot of emphasis on the history of hip-hop culture and the value of b-boys/b-girls across the world understanding the roots of where it came from.[21] For this reason the conference brings together rappers and DJs for a talent showcase and graffiti artists to do live paintings so that "each element of Hip-Hop combine[s] together to make the cipher complete."[21] There's also competitions for lockers and poppers as part of the "Funk Fest" portion of the conference and a Battle of the Sexes Super Jam. The B-Boy Summit is the only international competition that does not have regional tournaments.

KILL THE BEAT

While popping as an umbrella term is popularly used by hip-hop dancers and in competitive hip-hop dancing, Popin' Pete of the Electric Boogaloos disagrees with the use of the word "popping" in this way. He states "There are people who wave and there are people who tut. They’re not popping. I say this to give the people who created other styles their just dues and their props."Many of these related styles (animation, strobing, tutting, etc.) can not be traced to a specific person or group. The Electric Boogaloos themselves acknowledge this (see quote box). Other styles may have influences earlier than hip-hop. Earl "Snake Hips" Tucker was a professional dancer in the 1920s who appeared in the film Symphony in Black and performed at the Cotton Club in Harlem. Because hip-hop did not exist in the '20s his style was considered jazz but his "slithering, writhing" movement foreshadowed modern waving and sliding

Popping—as an umbrella term—also includes gliding, floating, and sliding[17][note 4] which are lower body dances done with the legs and feet. When done correctly a dancer looks like they are gliding across the floor as if on ice.[note 5] Opposite from gliding is tutting which is an upper body dance that uses the arms, hands, and wrists to form right angles and make geometric box-like shapes. Sometimes the arms are not used at all and tutting is only done with the wrists, hands, and fingers. In both variations, the movements are intricate and always use 90° angles. When done correctly tutting looks like the characters on the art of ancient Egypt hence the name—a reference to King Tut.

Popping was created by Sam Solomon in Fresno, California and performed by his crew the Electric Boogaloos. It is based on the technique of quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to cause a jerk in the dancer's body, referred to as a pop or a hit. Each hit should be synchronized to the rhythm and beats of the music. Popping is also used as an umbrella term to refer to a wide range of 10+ other closely related illusionary dance styles such as strobing, liquid, animation, and waving that are often integrated with standard popping to create a more varied performance. In all of these sub-genres it appears to the spectator that the body is popping hence the name. The difference between each sub-genre is how exaggerated the popping is. In liquid the body movements look like water. The popping is so smooth that the movements do not look like popping at all; they look fluid. The opposite of this is ticking in which the movements are static, sudden, and jerky.

Locking, originally called Campbellocking, was created in Los Angeles by Don Campbell and introduced to the country by his crew The Lockers. Locking looks similar to popping and thus frequently gets confused with popping. In locking a dancer holds their positions longer. The lock is the primary move used in locking. It is similar to a freeze or a sudden pause. A locker's dancing is characterized by consistently locking in place and after a quick pause moving again. It is incorrect to call locking pop-locking. Popping and locking are two distinct funk styles with their own histories, their own set of dance moves, and their own competition categories. A dancer can do one or the other but not both at the same time. It was only after seeing The Lockers perform on TV that a young Boogaloo Sam was inspired to create popping and electric boogaloo. The Lockers were composed of a prior smaller group of lockers and robot dancers. Other than Don Campbell, some of the original members were Fred "Mr. Pinguin" Berry (Rerun on the 1970s TV sitcom What's Happening!!), James "Skeeter Rabbit" Higgins, Adolpho "Shabba Doo" Quinones, Tony "Go Go" Lewis, Charles "Robot" Washington, and Toni Basil—the group's manager. In honor of her instrumental role in giving locking commercial exposure, Basil was honored at the 2009 World Hip Hop Dance Championships as the first female recipient of the Living Legend Award.

Rivers Crew VS Full Force

Breaking was created in the Bronx, New York during the early 1970s. While Black Americans are responsible for creating breaking it was the Latinos that kept the momentum of breaking alive when it was considered "played out" in the late '70s. It was Afrika Bambaataa that classified breaking as one of the five pillars of hip-hop culture along with MCing, DJing, graffiti writing, and knowledge. Due to this status, it is considered the purest form of hip-hop dance. Breaking includes four foundational dances: toprock, footwork oriented steps performed while standing up; downrock, footwork performed on the floor using the hands to support your weight; freezes, stylish poses done on your hands; and power moves, difficult and impressive acrobatic moves. In breaking, a variation to the traditional cipher is the Apache line. Ciphers work well for one-on-one b-boy battles; however, Apache lines are more appropriate when it is crew versus crew. In contrast to a cipher, opposing crews can face each other in this line formation and execute their burns. In 1981 the Lincoln Center in New York City hosted a breaking battle between the Rock Steady Crew and The Dynamic Rockers. "This event, which was covered by the New York Times, the Village Voice, the Daily News, National Geographic, and local news stations helped b-boying gain the world’s attention.

KOREA vs USA

Internationally, hip-hop dance has had a particularly strong influence in France and South Korea. France is the birthplace of Tecktonik, a style of house dance from Paris that borrows heavily from popping and breaking. France is also the home of Juste Debout, an international hip-hop dance competition. South Korea is home to the international breaking competition R16 which is sponsored by the government and broadcast every year live on Korean television. The country consistently produces such skillful b-boys that the South Korean government has designated the Gamblerz and Rivers b-boy crews official ambassadors of Korean culture.

More than 30 years old, hip-hop dance became widely known after the first professional breaking, locking, and popping crews formed in the 1970s. The most influential groups are the Rock Steady Crew, The Lockers, and the Electric Boogaloos who are responsible for the spread of locking, breaking, and popping respectively. Parallel with the evolution of hip-hop music, hip-hop dancing evolved from breaking and the funk styles into different forms: moves such as the "running man" and the "cabbage patch" hit the mainstream and became fad dances. The dance industry in particular responded with studio/commercial hip-hop, sometimes called new style, and jazz funk. These styles were developed by technically trained dancers who wanted to create choreography for hip-hop music from the hip-hop dances they saw being performed on the street. Because of this development, hip-hop dance is now practiced at both studios and outside spaces.

Hip-hop dance refers to social or choreographed dance styles primarily danced to hip-hop music or that have evolved as part of hip-hop culture. This includes a wide range of styles notably breaking, locking, and popping which were developed in the 1970s by Black and Latino Americans. What separates hip-hop dance from other forms of dance is that it is often freestyle (improvisational) in nature and hip-hop dancers frequently engage in battles—formal or informal freestyle dance competitions. Informal freestyle sessions and battles are usually performed in a cipher, a circular dance space that forms naturally once the dancing begins. These three elements—freestyling, battles, and ciphers—are key components of hip-hop dance.

Punk dance (also known as the thrash dance, or, more simply, thrashing) is a form of street dance that is performed impromptu in large crowds. While the punk dance is considered a fad dance, its origins also make it a street dance. The dance originated amongst the punk rock community and was made popular by the band, Sex Pistols. Amongst hardcore styled music concerts or raves, as well as busy nightclubs, the dance styles are at their most popular. The most modern form of punk dance is hardcore dancing.

Amongst the electronic dance community, street dances in the form of club and rave dances are mainly revolved around a consistent rhythm and flow. Hip hop dance styles like popping, tutting, roboting and liquiding, due to their futuristic theme and/or movements, have been widely adopted amongst the electronic dance community. From out of the electronic dance community street dances like Tecktonik (an example of a club dance) and Jumpstyle (an example of a rave dance) have also emerged.

A common example of a street dance that evolved without integrating hip hop, jazz or funk dance styles, is house dance. House dance, which is prominently danced to house, disco or trance music evolved out of Chicago clubs (but grew and evolved in the clubs of New York). Due to the modern mainstream popularity of clubs, street and fad dances tend to evolve more modernly out of indoor nightclubs instead of outdoor spaces (such as streets), etc. However, they may be practiced recreationally in outdoor spaces. Many club and rave dances are also street dances. The majority of rave dances, alike club dances are vernacular dance styles, since rave culture is prominently an underground movement. Rave culture, alike hip hop culture is vastly diverse, and there are many different music genres, each of which have individually prominent vernacular dance tyles

One of the first vernacular dance styles to adopt the term street dance was the jazz dance, no doubt due to its urban style and sometimes its theme. The term street dance has overrun the formal definition vernacular dance in the last decade. Along with hip hop and funk dance styles, jazz dance is an Afro-American vernacular dance, and has also commercial variations.
