Hip Hop

Street dancing in it's finest..

Hip hop dance refers to social or choreographed dance styles primarily danced to hip hop music. Hip hop 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 and improvisational. 

More than 30 years old, hip-hop dance became widely known after the first professional breaking, locking, and popping crews formed in the 1970s. Internationally, hip-hop dance has had a particularly strong influence in many many countries ! 

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. 

There are several international hip-hop dance competitions, such as the Battle of the year, Hip hop international, Juste Debout, Notorious IBE and many more that offer competitors, which more often are crews, a chance to prove their abilities in hip hop dancing !
