Basic hip-hop movements and features of this direction

In any dance there is a list of the main movements that form it. The basic movements of hip-hop are diverse. This style originated as a street dance, in which everyone showed everything he could. It is important that all movements are perfectly combined with the music for which they are performed. Music in hip-hop is called bit. This rhythm can be hidden under words and other sounds. The main thing that is required of a dancer is to hear him and make movements in time.

The Basics of Hip Hop

This dance has more than eighty basic movements. They are divided into three "schools":

1. Old School - was popular from 1979 to 1990. It includes the most simple and popular movements. At this time, the most popular was the "top" break-dance, that's what hip-hop dance is often called.
2. Middle School movements appeared in the decade from 1990 to 2000. Their founders were the animated character Bart Simpson, Janet Jackson and Bobby Brown. All sorts of steps belong to this school.
3. If you want to perform modern hip-hop dance, the New school is perfect for this. It includes movements that appeared after 2000. This school belongs to the famous Harlem Shake, which several months ago was the most popular movement on the dance floors.
4. Begin to master this dance is necessary with a pile and steps. We will talk about them further.

Groove

This term hides the quality of the movement of the body in the rhythm of playing music. These easy movements of hip-hop are divided into three groups:

1. Bounce - for each account, you must smoothly bend your knees and move the body down. In order to work out this exercise, you need to put your feet to the width of your shoulders and count. On the first account knees bend, on the second straighten.
2. The reverse "kach" - up. In this case, it is necessary to straighten the knees in time with the music, making the body move upwards.
3. Fast pulsation - body movements are performed faster, on each half of the account.

Remember that these basic movements of hip-hop are not independent elements, but a bunch between them. Kach makes it possible to make the dance plastic, and its other elements together with it are rhythmic and more beautiful. That's why groove needs to work out first. You can do it under the composition of Fort Minor feat. Styles Of Beyond - Feel Like Home.

Steps

One more basic movements of hip-hop are steps. They are used to change the direction of movement in the dance and reversals. Without them it is impossible to participate in battles and create a full dance.

1. Two step from the middle - imagine yourself on a dance rug with arrows (in your imagination you should stand in its middle), directed in different directions. For the bundle, use the pitch and move, first take a step back and return to the middle, then do the same forwards, left, right, and diagonally.
2. For the second type of steps, you need to present yourself in front of a triangle. These basic hip-hop movements are performed alternately by the right and left legs through the kross step (cross step for changing the leg). First right, and then left foot, you need to step along the imaginary vertices of the triangle.
3. Sham rock - moving diagonally in one direction and back. Movement begins with the left foot. It takes a step diagonally. Then the socks turn to the right side, the legs become close, the dancer stands on his toes and descends to the full foot.

All these movements are repeated from the right foot in the opposite direction. When practicing steps, the knees should be slightly bent. To the steps you need to add the quality, and all the elements need to be made more voluminous - to make the steps wider.
