Hip-Hop Dancing

Hip-Hop is a style of dance developed on the streets of America in the ’70s and ’80s. It involves dance moves known as locking, popping, rolling, gliding, rippling and waving. To perform this type of dance, the dancer must learn to isolate all parts of the body and use them independently. 

An artistry has developed where the dancer mimes, imitating everyday movements such as riding a bicycle. Sometimes the dancer imitates a robot, but all moves must be musical. These dance actions are performed on the street in a small group with dancers challenging each other to perform in the middle of the circle, leading to the term “street dance.”

Today “street dance” has developed into a funky style of dance performed to street-style music. This earthy style is copied from the backing groups who dance in the videos of pop groups. Their choreographers are dance teachers, just like the professionals you’ll work with at Lait Dance Club.
