hip hop dance
Hip hop is a style of dancing that has its roots in the streets and is much less structured than most other dance forms. The technique involves getting low to the ground and having fun! The music used also has its roots in the streets, taking advantage of Hip Hop, R&B and Pop, and as such the dance form enjoys a wide popularity with young dance students today.
