    ELEMENTS OF HIP-HOP DANCE DEFINITION

    1. Popping It involves quickly contracting and relaxing


    muscles to create a jerking or popping effect. This
    style emphasizes sharp and abrupt movements, often
    synchronized with beats in the music.

    2. Locking A funk dance style that features quick, distinct


    movements and poses. Dancers use a combination
    of locking their joints and fluid movements, creating a
    contrast between moments of tension and relaxation.

    3. Breaking ( breakdancing ) One of the foundational elements of hip-hop dance. It


    includes dynamic moves such as top rock, down
    rock, power moves, and freezes. Breaking is
    characterized by its acrobatic and ground-based
    movements.

    4. Boogaloo A very loose movement, mostly using the hips and


    legs. It gives the illusion that the dancer has no
    bones.

    5. Social Dances Or ‘80s party dances, came about during the 1980’s
    as popular dances at the time were transformed by
    club dancers.
