    a greater culture that began

    • When Hip-hop dancers participate in freestyle routines,


    they do not adhere to any choreographic sequence of steps
    but rather improvise their own moves on the spot. There
    are basically no rules for freestyle dance; Hip-Hop dancers
    commonly use the beat, rhythm, melody, lyrics and other
    aspect of a song or piece to help them determine their
    moves.
    Battles
    • Hip-hop dance battles may be between individual dancers
    or crews. They originate form the informal dance contests
    that took place in the streets and popular night time
    establishment. With battles, dancers perform routines, both
    freestyle and choreographed, alternately and either a panel
    of judges or the crowd determines the winner in the end.

    dancer enters to perform a sequence of choreographed
    or freestyle moves while the remaining dancers in the
    circle ell our jeers or encouragement for the person
    performing. When the first dancers go back the circle,
    another comes in and so forth.

    OTHER FORM OF HIP-HOP DANCE

    Krumping
    • Is increasingly gaining popularity in hip-hop because of
    the energy and freedom it encourages. It has four basic
    moves: jabs, arm swings, chest pop, and stomps, or if
    you look at it in simpler way, basically anything you
    wanted to do with your body. It is very improvisational
    and expressive.
    Arm swings/Jabs
    Chest pop
    Stomps
    Harlem shake
    • The Harlem shake gained popularity because of a viral
    YouTube Video. It has no strict code of dance moves.
    As it only involves creative convulsions of the body, it
    is no wonder that Harlem Shake is popular even those
    who are not adept at dancing.
    Jerkin
    • Is fairly recent Hip-hop dance trend. It involves twitchy
    dance moves called ‘jerks’ where the performer
    executes a set of in and out leg stretches. It is more of
    a sub-culture trend, if taken together with its dress code
    of neo-colored, skinny jeans, and Chuck Taylors.
    Liquids and Digits
    • Is oriented towards Hip-hop, but has more laidback
    settings such as in glitch hop and drum n’ bass. It
    often involves smooth, ‘liquid-ish’ hand movements
    called hand flows, and digital manipulation, creating
    illusions and movements with the fingers.
    • The performer’s body is used as a contour to express a
    feeling or a series of interpretative gestures. Often
    involved in telling the story and creating visual
    representation of music.
    Robot/ Mannequin
    • Is pretty much similar to popping, but still many
    dancers’ user robot dance moves as their primary style.
    Robot style is simply acting like a robot, (not
    necessarily in jive with the beat) and doing stiff arm
    and head movements that often contrast with the
    smooth.
