35. Hip-Hop in the Philippines The hip-hop culture in the Philippines emerged in the 1980s as a result of the large influx of American musical styles. The arrival of American hip-hop culture led to the introduction of street dance in the country’s dance culture.

36. What Is Street Dance? T he word “street dance” is a “ Filipinized version” of hip-hop dance that was specifically used by Filipino dancers. Other countries, especially the United States, use the term hip-hop dance when referring to hip-hop dance style. It is only here in the Philippines where the term “street dance” has been commonly used. Street dance, therefore, is a cultural variation of hip-hop dance in the United States and is generally a form of entertainment where technical and teachable dance aspects replaced the cultural symbolism and message of the true essence of African-American hip-hop dance.

37. Elements of Street Dance Bounce or recoil It is a quick contraction and retraction, or vice versa movement with energy and vitality. The body or body parts may move from one direction and quickly changes to a different or opposite direction. Example is the rise and fall movement of the shoulders that may be done with steady pulse or accentuated. Tightening of the body T he body is controlled with firmness and strength to prepare it for explosive and sudden movements. The body moves in a “fragmented manner which echoes the sampled layering of hip-hop music”.

38. Agility and coordination “Because the body dances a complex array of interlocking rhythms , percussive accents of isolated body-parts pop out in unexpected phrasing and that break dancers perform elaborate spins, balances, flips, contortions and freezes”, it must be able to move quickly and smoothly from one position to the other with ease. Fun H ip-hop dance is not only exciting but enjoyable as well. According to educator and dance professor Thomas DeFrantz, “Hip-hop dance is fun. Fun is an essential element of hip-hop, which offers its dancers a mechanism to offer kinetic musicality with a bravado that is easily consumed by an immobile audience”.

39. Different Street Dance Styles Breaking (also known as break dancing) An unstructured and highly improvisational style that incorporates gymnastic and acrobatic movements T he dancer executes several explosive, acrobatic movements with breaks or freezes in between acts, that is, holding the position of the movement for a few seconds before continuing or shifting to the next movement.
