8 OF THE MOST ICONIC HIP-HOP DANCE
STYLES
1) B-boying (Breakdancing)
2) Locking and Popping
3) Funk
4) Liquid Dance
5) Boogaloo
6) Reggae
7) Lyrical
8) Stepping
B-BOYING (BREAKDANCING)
•Thought to be one of the very first styles of Hip
Hop, B-boying is characterized by acrobatic
Power Moves, upright moves, and footwork.
Dancers also punctuate their routines with a
move known as the Freeze.
LOCKING AND POPPING
• While technically two styles, Locking and Popping
often go hand in hand. Locking involves fast
movements, sharp pauses, and exaggerated gestures.
Popping, on the other hand, is a bouncy style that
requires major use of counter-tempo.
FUNK
• Funk, which is a fusion of Disco and Soul, uses a
mixture of fluid and sharp movements and is often
highly choreographed. Locking and Popping are
also often incorporated into this dance style.
LIQUID DANCE
• As its name implies, Liquid Dance is a fluid and
graceful dance with a focus on the arms and hands.
It may include some forms of pantomime and
advanced dancers will use a range of body
movements.
BOOGALOO
•Another fluid like style, Boogaloo as taught by
Hip Hop dance studios, involves the entire body
moving smoothly, often with the rolling of the
hips, head, and knees.
REGGAE
•If we had to pick a Hip Hop style that invokes
sensuality, it would be Reggae for its Latin
influences mixed with more traditional Hip Hop
movements set to the modern evolution of
Reggae music.
LYRICAL
• Lyrical is a unique style of Hip Hop in that it tells a
story and is danced to the words of the music
instead of the beat. It is often fluid in nature and
more interpretive than other forms of Hip Hop.
STEPPING
• Stepping is a group dance that involves using body
movements to create percussive beats. This is
accomplished through:
-Stomping or Steps
-Clapping or Slapping
