LESSON 4: FORMS OF HIP-HOP DANCE
Hip-hop is a dance style performed to hip-hop music and usually done in the street. It has
evolved as part of hip-hop culture. It started in the 1970s and was made popular in the 1980s by
media’s exposure of several hip-hop dance groups in America. The movements of hip-hop dance
contain an assertive angularity of body posture and an insistent virtuosic rhythmicity. It is freestyle
in nature and may be practiced in either a dance studio or in an open space outdoor. It includes a
wide range of styles primarily breaking, locking, and popping. Other terms that are used in street
dance are crews, free styling, and battles. Hiphop dance can either be a form of entertainment or a
hobby. It can also be a way to stay active in competitive dance and a way to make a living by
dancing professionally.

What is Street Dance?
The word street dance arrived in the Philippines from the United States during the 1980s
but only gained unparalleled popularity during the 1990s. The 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 hiphop 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 message of the true
essence of African-American hip-hop dance. Other than
a form of entertainment, street dance competition
emerged not only in the Philippines but also worldwide.
Dance crews coming from different places engage in
freestyle dance competitions and meet on street
corners or dance floors to battle other groups. This is
often referred to as "battles." There were no designated
'judges' in these battles in the real hip-hop cultures. The winners, characterized by their "virtuosity,
style, and wit," are agreed upon by all the participants at the end of the battle. These days,
however, reputable judges are chosen to determine the winners in every street dance competition
or battles.
There are various street dance battles held locally across the country as well as hip-hop
dance competitions internationally. Several groups of all male, all female, or a mixture of male and
female dancers showcase their street dance skills and compete against each other. Locally, street
dance competition may range from small to big scale; that is, certain big companies sponsor these
kinds of competitive events and done nationally, an example of which is the Sketchers Street
dance Battle. Other street dance competitions are held in barangays during social gatherings or
special occasions like fiestas. Small-scale street dance competitions are those that are held within
a certain group or community. Dance competition held within a school is an example of a
smallscale street dance competition.
What are the different street dance styles?
Hip hop dance has several styles that comprise two main categories: Old School and New
School.
Old School Street Dance Style
The Windmill It is a move in which the dancer spins from his upper back to his chest while twirling
his legs around his body in a V-shape. There are many variations to this move such
as nutcrackers and handcuffs. Many dancers will spend anywhere from two to six
months learning how to do a basic windmill, since the motion is quite unorthodox.
Head Spin The dancer spins on his head, often while wearing a stocking cap or handkerchief.
When the dancer uses his hands to aid in speeding up the spin, it is called 'tapping!
A dancer may tap for a few rotations and then 'glide' for as many as 15 rotations.
Kid Freeze is the b-boy who claims to have invented the headspin.
Flare This is an incredibly difficult move borrowed from gymnastics and resembles the use
of a Pommel Horse, but is performed without one.
Jackhammer It is a move performed on the ground having the dancer balancing on one hand
and laying his body on the elbow of the same arm. He then bounces up and
down with his hand as he spins around.
(1970s and 1980s)
Breakdance/B-boying - also known as

break dancing; it is an unstructured and highly
improvisational style that incorporates gymnastic
and acrobatic movements. It was popularized in
the early 70s. In break dancing, the 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.
- involves a lot of feet movement back and forth and robot like actions,an experienced shuffler will
even perform break dancing during a shuffle.
- 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. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M3d-C0yjuY)
