The word hip-hop was apparently
invented by a new York rapper,
Afrika Bambaataa (Kevin
Donovan), who was dubbed as the
grandfather of hip-hop.
The hip-hop culture in the
Philippines emerged in the 1980's
as a result of the large influx of
american musical styles. The arrival
of hip-hop culture leads to the
introduction of street dance in the
country's dance culture.
What is street 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 1970's
and was made popular in the 1980's by media's exposure of several hip-
hop dance group in America.

The word street dance arrived in the Philippines from the united states
during the 1980's 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 U.S. use the term hip-hop dance when referring to hip-hop dance style.
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.

These are various street dance battles held locally across the
countryas 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.

scale, that is certain big companies sponsor these kinds of
competitive events and done nationally, an example of which is

are held in barangays during social gatherings or special
occasions like fiesta. Small-scale street dance competitions are
those that are held within a certain group or or community dance

street dance competition.
The Elements of Street dance:

1. Bounce or recoil

it is a quick contraction and retraction or vise-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 witth steady
pulse or accentuated.
2. Tightening of the body
The 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.
3. 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.
4. Fun
Hip hop dance is not only exciting but enjoyable as well.
The different street dance styles:

Old School dance styles

Old School Street Dance
Style
1. Breaking or 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.
Power moves used in break dancing:

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.
Headspin

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.
Flare

This is an incredibly difficult

move borrowed from gymnatics
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.
Basic moves used in break dancing:

Top rock
This is a simple dance done
standing-up to initiate break
dancing. Its style is obvious to
anyone watching because it is
incredibly unorthodox looking
Breakdancers take pride in having
unique toprock that still stays within
the definition of what toprock
actually is.
Uprock

This is doing a toprock with someone else, sort of like a

fight but without contact and very rhythmic. Uprocking is
often confused with toprock, but the two are completely
different dances.
6-step

It resembles walking in a circle on

the ground. Only one hand is
touching the ground at a time. The
6-step is the building block for the
rest of the dance, and is heavily
'teched' or modified to allow for
variation and style.
Moonwalk

a move where a dancer

slides backward while their
legs appear to be walking
forward.
Worm

A move in which a dancer lies

on the ground and forms a
rippling motion through his
body. This can be done in one
of two ways, either forward or
backwards, either shifting your
weight from the upper body to
the lower body (Backwards) or
vice-versa for forwards.
2. Popping

A quick contraction and

relaxation of muscles to
producing jerking of various
joints.
3. Locking

It relies on fast, distinct arm and

hand movements combined
with relaxed hips and legs
wherein the lock is the basic
move used. It is characterized
by the frequent locking in
place and moving again after a
quick freeze.
The New School dance
styles
1. Krumping

Characterized by unrestrained,
rapid-fire, and highly energetic
moves of the limbs and torso.
2.House

A dance style that emphasizes

fast, complex footsteps with
fluid movements of the torso.
3. Street jazz

Combination of hip-hop dance

style and jazz dance
movements.
