9. What is Hip Hop? is an umbrella term that includes several dance styles that are highly energetic and athletic. Hip-hop dance forms began as social dances that expanded to respond to socioeconomic conditions faced by marginalized African American and Latinx youth in inner cities. These dance styles hold the meaning and values of the community, resulting in a cultural movement that gained widespread attention through media that has led to its global popularity today.

10. History of Hip Hop Dance The Bronx, a borough of New York City, was where hip hop dance was first born. It emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s, at a time when African American and Latino communities were facing social and economic challenges. Despite living in poverty and with few job opportunities, these communities found ways to express themselves through music and dance. Street parties were a common occurrence in the Bronx during this time, and it was at these gatherings that early forms of hip hop dance began to take shape. DJs would mix together funk, soul, and other popular genres of music, and dancers would improvise movements on the spot. Slowly, these improvised moves started to become more structured, with some dancers incorporating elements of martial arts and gymnastics into their routines. From the streets of New York to dance floors around the world, hip hop dance has come a long way, and its history is a fascinating tale of creativity, resilience, and cultural transformation.

11. COMPONENTS OF HIP HOP DANCE

12. 1. GRAFFITI Graffiti is “the visual language of the hip-hop community”. Graffiti gained attention in the late 1960s when political activists illegally “tagged” or marked public places in defiance of government policies. Later, crews used graffiti to claim territories.

13. Examples of Graffiti in hip hop dance: 1. The Connection to Hip-Hop’s Birth -Graffiti was intricately linked to the birth of hip-hop culture. The same neighborhoods that birthed graffiti also saw the rise of DJing and MCing (rap). These art forms became interconnected, creating a cultural movement that embodied creativity and self-expression.

These art forms became interconnected, creating a cultural movement that embodied creativity and self-expressio n

15. 3. Graffiti in Music Videos and Album Art -As hip-hop music gained popularity in the 1980s, graffiti began to make its way into music videos and album covers. Iconic artists like Run-D.M.C. and The Beastie Boys featured graffiti art in their visuals, further cementing its place within hip-hop culture.

16. 2. DEEJAYS Deejay (DJs) or disc jockeys, emerged as “the sounds and memories of the community”. DJs initially hosted dance parties as part of social events. Through their experimentation with turntables and records, DJs found innovative ways to manipulate, isolate, extend, and loop the musical rhythms for dance.

17. Over the years, the DJ has often been usurped by the rapper, who are often at the front and center. Those who are aware of hip-hop's history and that when the music stops, the party stops, know that the DJ is invaluable and will always be the glue that holds hip-hop together. There are pioneers like Grandmaster Flash, radio personalities like Mr. Magic, mixtape kings like DJ Clue to jacks-of-all-trades like Lil Jon, tastemakers like DJ Drama and esteemed craftsman like DJ Premier, the role of the DJ is multifaceted, and continues to expand as the culture grows.

18. 3. EMCEES Emcees (MCs) are also known as the Masters of Ceremonies. It was the emcees’ responsibility to pump up the crowd during parties. They became the community’s voice, using improvised spoken words and rhymes to tell the social conditions and experiences of the community, often shedding light on social injustices. This is known as rap today. Rapping has roots in West Africa, where griots, or storytellers, were responsible for preserving their people’s “genealogies, historical narratives, and oral traditions”.

19. 4. BREAKING Breaking is considered the original street dance associated with the hip-hop subculture. Breaking is improvisational and emphasizes the dancer’s style and athleticism while responding to the musical accompaniment, typically funk music.

20. Elements of breaking/ breakdance: 1. Top Rock is when a breakdancer is dancing while still standing and it's how breakers start their throw down, before going to the floor. 2. Go Down is the move a breaker uses to go from their top rock down to the floor. 3. Footwork in breaking is when a b-boy or b-girl is down on the floor using their hands for support as they move their legs through a variety of breaking footwork steps.

21. 4. Freeze is when a b-boy or b-girl makes, hits and holds a solid shape with their body for a few seconds. 5. Transitions are the movements breakers use to get in and out of their moves, or to combine the footwork steps, freezes, tricks and power moves that they like to do in combination.

22. 5. KNOWLEDGE Knowledge is the culmination of the Afro-diasporic cultural components to recover power from oppressive systems through spiritual and political awareness. This refers to having gratitude for your heritage that will give you insight into your future and self-understanding.

23. In hip hop, knowledge refers to the skills and understanding of various elements of hip hop culture. These elements include: DJing — the artistic handling of beats and music. MCing, aka rapping — putting spoken-word poetry to a beat. Breaking — hip hop’s dance form. Writing — the painting of highly stylized graffiti. Theater and literature — combining hip hop elements and themes in drama, poetry, and stories. Knowledge of self — the moral, social, and spiritual principles that inform and inspire hip hop ways of being.

24. HIP HOP DANCE STYLES

25. 1. BREAKING also called breakdance by the media, is the original street dance associated with hip-hop. This dance form is generally performed solo and is highly improvisational, emphasizing the dancer’s style and flair. Breaking consists of four primary components: toprocking , downrocking , power moves, and freezes.

26. 2. TOPROCK refers to the movement that is performed from a standing position. Toprock highlights quick, percussive footwork paired with a relaxed upper body. Breakers generally begin with toprock to enter the cipher, a circular formation of people, where individual breakers take turns dancing.

27. Basic steps of toprock : 1. Do a kick step- A kick step is a form of toprock that involves kicking your leg out in front and stepping back and to the side. Prepare for the kick step by starting with a basic Indian step

28. 2. Add side kicks. To start your side kick, take a small step forward with your left foot, and kick your right foot out to the side. It should almost look like you're running.

29. 3. Do a hip twist. The hip twist starts a lot like the kick step. From your basic Indian step, kick your right leg out. Then, plant your right foot down, and swing your left leg out behind you. You can lean forward or backward depending on what is most comfortable for you.

30. 4. Make your own combinations. Toprocking is about making your own variations and combinations. Each dancer's style of toprock is unique. Once you learn a few moves, string them together in different ways to create your own style.

31. 5. Vary your arms. The main job of your arms while toprocking is to echo your feet. They're like a backbeat. They should never stead the focus. As you move, keep your arms as loose as possible. Swing them around like an inflatable tube guy, or let your body move your arms naturally while you work your feet.

32. 6. Work your hands. Toprock is footwork, but your hands can be the icing on the cupcake. Use your hands to express your attitude. Spread your fingers to project a friendly but slightly sarcastic "look at me" attitude. Lightly droop your wrists to project an attitude of arrogant ease.

33. 3. DOWNROCK or weight-bearing movement performed on the floor, is where the dancers support their bodies with their hands and feet.

34. 4. POWER MOVES are physically demanding acrobatic moves borrowed from gymnastics and martial arts requiring strength and endurance, such as spins, floats, slides and windmills.

35. SPIN- A dance move that involves the dancer spinning on their head with their torso perpendicular to the floor. Dancers usually wear a knit hat to facilitate spinning. They also use their arms and legs (raised out into the air) to control or speed up the momentum. Types of Spins: - Knee spin - Head spin - Spin down shuffle

36. FLOAT- is a b-boying move in which the body is held parallel to the floor while balancing on one or both hands. Though it appears to demand great strength, the float actually requires balance above all because the breaker's weight is supported on the elbows which are firmly planted ("stabbed") into the lower abdomen near the ASIS. Example:

37. SLIDE- the slide step is a move that creates the illusion of sliding on the ground. It involves smoothly shifting your weight from one foot to the other while maintaining a gliding motion. Example:

38. WINDMILL- The breaker rolls their torso continuously in a circular path on the floor, moving across the upper chest, shoulders, and back. Example:

39. 5. FREEZE or a held position, consists of the breaker halting the body from movement to achieve a challenging body pose, such as a headstand.

40. Types of Freeze: 1. Baby Freeze: Balancing on your hands and head, with one elbow on your waist and the other knee on the opposite side. This position can be modified by swapping leg placement.

41. 2. Airbaby : Similar to the baby freeze, but with the knee resting on the elbow of the supporting arm.

42. 3. Chair Freeze: Lying arched on the floor, with one arm stabbed into the back to support the body.

43. 6. LOCKING consists of briefly freezing movement into a held position before continuing. Locking is highly performative, using comedic mime-like actions with large and exaggerated gestures. Dancers interact with the audience by giving high fives and performing acrobatic moves like knee splits.
