Hip-hop is more than just a style of music or a set of moves. It is an entire culture that combines music, dance, art and a way of thinking. It originated in the 70s in the Bronx (New York) and has since spread throughout the world, becoming a symbol of freedom, self-expression and creativity.
What is hip-hop culture?
Hip-hop includes four main elements:
- MC-ing (rap) – rhythmic reading of lyrics to music, which became the basis of the genre.
- DJ-ing – the art of mixing music, creating a unique hip-hop sound.
- Graffiti – street art, conveying ideas and emotions through pictures on the walls.
- Breaking (breakdance) – one of the first hip-hop dances, combining acrobatics, strength and rhythmic movements.
In addition, over time, hip-hop culture has expanded, and now in the dance environment you can find hip-hop as a dance style containing many dynamic and signature movements.
Hip-hop as a dance style
Hip-hop dancing is energy, improvisation and freedom of expression. It is constantly evolving, incorporating new techniques and mixing elements of other styles, such as popping, locking, house and krump.
This style is valued for:
✔ Flexibility and variability – you can dance both in a free style (freestyle) and study ready-made choreographies.
✔ Self-expression – hip-hop is not about copying movements, but about creating your own style.
✔ Drive and emotions – there are no restrictions, it is important to convey energy and feelings through movements.
