HIPHOP (CHOREO/FREESTYLE)

HipHop dance refers to the street dance styles that emerged from the hip hop culture in the Bronx, New York City in the 1970s. It is a form of expression that includes a range of styles such as breaking, popping, locking, and krumping.

HipHop dance is rooted in the African American and Latino communities of the Bronx. It emerged in the late 1970s when young people started organizing dance battles in the streets and parks of the city. These battles were a way to showcase their dance skills and to compete against each other.

Breaking, also known as b-boying, was one of the first hip hop dance styles to emerge. It involves acrobatic and athletic movements such as spins, flips, and freezes. Breaking gained popularity in the 1980s and was popularized by movies like "Wild Style" and "Beat Street."

Popping and locking are two other popular HipHop dance styles. Popping involves contracting and relaxing the muscles to create a popping or jerking movement. Locking involves freezing in a particular pose, often with a smile or a wink.

Krumping is a more recent hip hop dance style that emerged in the early 2000s in Los Angeles. It involves aggressive, high-energy movements that are meant to express emotion and tell a story.

HipHop dance has evolved over the years and has become a global phenomenon. It is now performed and enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds around the world. Today, hip hop dance continues to be an important part of the hip hop culture and remains a powerful form of self-expression and art.
