What is Hip Hop Dance?
Hip Hop dance literally refers to the street
dance styles and the music also evolved from the
same place. People who were not good at any
particular dance form took to the streets, moved
their bodies sporadically to the hip hop music
and brought this dance form into evolution.

Popping
Popping is a kind of dance when the dancer gives
jerks to ones body and it feels like having
muscle contractions. These movements are called
pops.

Locking
Don Campbell developed this popular form of
dance. Locking involves fast movements of upper
half and the arms of the body, which is then
locked into a particular position for short
periods of time. This dance is carried on with
the dramatic moves.

Breaking
Breaking is often associated with hip hop. It has
no proper structure, the improvised moves are
done on the feet. The most interesting moves of
this dance happen when the dancers are on the
ground and use this form while doing it.

Social Dance
When you dance in a social environment, that
dancing is called social dance. Its just like a
club dancing or party dancing. Theres no right
or wrong way of doing it until you are doing on
the rhythm or the tunes of the song.

dancing moves from all over the world. It is a
kind of multi- cultural, kind of dance which
