    Hip hop dance originated in the 1970s in New York and includes elements like breaking, locking and popping. Street dance evolved from hip hop and incorporates other styles like jazz and contemporary. While often used interchangeably, street dance is considered a more commercialized and accessible version of hip hop dance, as street dancers don't need skills in specific hip hop elements like breaking. Both styles are featured prominently in movies and music videos.

    • Some people call it Street Dance others call it

    Hip Hop Dance – some people even take it far


    to call it Urban Dance; so what do we call it
    then?
    • So what exactly is the difference between Hip
    Hop dance and Street dance? Is there even a
    difference? Even though most people tend to
    use both terms to mean the same thing, there
    are distinct differences between the two.
    Hip Hop dance originated from a cultural
    movement that began in 1970’s New York. The
    movement also includes Djing, rapping, and
    graffiti. The Hip Hop dance style incorporates
    locking, popping, breakin, house and more
    recently krumping, which are all stand alone
    individual dance forms in themselves. Hip Hop
    dance is very energetic, expressive,
    improvisational and social. A direct opposite of
    traditional dance forms such as Ballet, Jazz and
    Tap that were taught in dance studios and
    establishments.
    Street dance evolved from Hip Hop dance
    as the term ‘street’ comes from the fact that
    the dance style didn’t originate in dance
    studios but on the streets and clubs among
    groups of people. Street dance also
    incorporates into it other dance styles such
    as Jazz, Contemporary and more making it
    more accessible to everyone. It is the most
    predominantly featured style of dance in the
    music videos of some of the biggest artists
    in the world such as Usher, Justin
    Timberlake, Pussycat Dolls and more.
    Some people say Street dance is
    therefore a ‘watered down’ or
    ‘commercialised’ version of Hip Hop;
    in the sense that if someone calls
    themselves a Hip Hop dancer it
    means they are skilled in locking,
    popping, breakin, house or krumpin. A
    street dancer doesn’t necessarily
    have to be skilled in any of these
    areas in order to execute a street
    dance routine.
    The great thing about Street dance is
    that there is no age limitation or
    restriction to participating in it, which is
    why it has grown and continues to grow
    so much in popularity over the years.
    Spurred on by films such as Step Up
    and Street dance 3D and television
    shows such as Britains Got Talent, the
    popularity of street dance shows no
    signs of slowing down.
    Today street dance and hip hop is so
    mixed that when people refer to “street
    dance”, they’re usually talking about the
    hip hop style of dance as featured in
    movies like Stomp the Yard. Depending
    on who you ask, street dance and hip
    hop dance are very closely related.
    Some even consider them to be the
    same style of dance. Others view street
    dance as a more general term, while
    hip hop refers to a specific dance genre
    under the street dance umbrella.
    Breaking (also called b-boying) is more commonly known
    as breakdancing outside of the hip hop dance community.
    Breaking is generally performed during the breaks in the
    music. There are four main components to breaking.
    Toprock moves are performed while the dancer is standing
    and usually draw from other aspects of street dance (see
    popping and locking below).
    Downrock (also called footwork) moves focus more on the
    movements of the lower body and usually involve the
    dancer using one or both arms on the ground to support
    his or herself.
    Power moves are the more acrobatic types of hip hop
    moves that require a fair amount of strength and skill to
    perform.
    Freezes are dramatic poses held to match the beat of the
    music. A freeze performed at the end of a song is called a
    suicide.
    Popping is a rhythmic style of hip hop/street dance
    consisting of carefully controlling muscle
    movements to match “pops” or “hits” with the music.
    A variety of different moves can be contained under
    this category.
    Animation is when the dancer imitates a frame by
    frame cartoon by moving with sudden, jerky
    movements. Rather than fluid movements, the goal
    is to make each motion appear as if it were made
    from several individual sections.
    Tutting is a style of popping that focuses on using
    the body (especially the upper body) to create
    angles and geometric shapes.
    Botting is probably one of the most familiar styles of
    popping, it is more widely knows as “the Robot”.
    Locking consists of fast,
    exaggerated movements
    followed by “locking” the body
    into a position for a few seconds.
