More on Hip hop dance
Description from Wikipedia:
Hip-Hop dance refers to dance styles primarily danced to hip-hop music or that have evolved as part of hip-hop culture. This includes a wide range of styles notably breaking, locking, and popping which were developed in the 1970s by Black and Latino Americans. What separates hip-hop dance from other forms of dance is that it is often freestyle (improvizational) in nature and hip-hop dancers frequently engage in battles—formal or informal one-on-one dance competitions. Freestyle sessions and battles are usually performed in a cipher, a circular dance space that forms naturally once the dancing begins. Hip-hop dance is a member of the African American vernacular dances (dances that were developed in the streets/clubs rather than in dance studios) which include tap, house, and lindy hop. It is practiced at both studios and outside spaces.
The expansion of hip-hop culture has led to the birth of new dance styles and dance crews abroad with a particularly strong influence in France and South Korea. France is the birthplace of Tecktonik, a new style of house dance from Paris that borrows heavily from popping and breaking. France is also home to Juste Debout, an international hip-hop dance competition. South Korea consistently produces the best b-boys in the world. So much so that the South Korean government has designated the Gamblerz and Rivers breaking crews official ambassadors of Korean culture. The government also sponsors the international breaking competition R16. To some, hip-hop dance may only be a form of entertainment or a hobby. To others it has become a lifestyle: a way to be active in physical fitness or competitive dance and a way to make a living by dancing professionally.
