    Most popular Type of dance


    There are many different types of dance but the most performed and known dance is the

    Break-dance, breaking, or b-boying is a street dance style that evolved as part of

    the hip hop movement among African American youths in New York City during the early 1970s. It is danced to hip hop or other music, often remixed to prolong the breaks. One who practices the style is a break-dancer, breaker, b-boy.

    Popping is a style of hip hop dance and one of the original funk styles of dance that came out of Fresno, U.S.A in the 1970s. It is based on the technique of quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to cause a jerk in the dancer's body, referred to as a pop or a hit. This is done continuously to the rhythm of a song in combination with various movements and poses. Popping is also used as an umbrella term to refer to a group of closely related illusionary dance styles and techniques that are often integrated with popping to create a more varied performance. A popping dancer is commonly referred to as a popper.

    Locking is a style of funk dance and street dance, which is today also associated with hip hop. It relies on fast and distinct arm and hand movements combined with more relaxed hips and legs. The movements are generally large and exaggerated, and often very rhythmic and tightly synced with the music. Locking is quite performance oriented, often interacting with the audience by smiling or giving them a high five, and some moves are quite comical in nature. The name is based on the concept of locking movements, which basically means freezing from a fast movement and "locking" in a certain position, holding that position for a short while and then continuing in the same speed as before. These movements create a strong contrast towards the many fast moves that are otherwise performed quite continuously, combined with mime style performance and acting towards the audience and other dancers. Locking includes quite a lot of acrobatics and physically demanding moves, such as landing on ones knees and the split. These moves often require knee protection of some sort. A locker is a locking dancer. Lockers commonly use a distinctive dress style, such as colorful clothing with stripes and suspenders.

    Krumping is an urban street dance form characterized by free, expressive, and highly energetic moves involving the arms, head, legs, chest, and feet.The root word, Krump stands for Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise. The youth who started krumping saw the dance as a way for them to escape gang life and other negative influences in their neighborhood. Krumping has become a major part of hip-hop dance. CBS news has compared the intensity within krumping to what rockers experience. Krumping
    appeared in Los Angeles, CA during the 1990's
