5. I. DEFINITION:
Although widely considered a synonym for rap music, the
term hip-hop refers to a complex culture comprising four
elements:
1. deejaying, or “turntabling”;
2. rapping, also known as “MCing” or “rhyming”;
3. graffiti painting, also known as “graf” or “writing”;
4. B-boying which encompasses hip-hop dance, style,
and attitude, along with the sort of virile body language that
philosopher Cornel West described as “postural semantics.”
7. II. History:
ORIGINS AND THE OLD SCHOOL
• Hip-hop originated in the predominantly African
American economically depressed
South Bronx section of New York City in the late
1970s.
• Graffiti and break dancing, the aspects of the
culture that first caught public attention, had
the least lasting effect.
8. II. History:
• Reputedly, the graffiti movement was started about
1972 by a Greek American teenager who signed, or
“tagged,” Taki 183 (his name and street, 183rd Street)
on walls throughout the New York City subway system.
• By 1975 youths in the Bronx, Queens,
and Brooklyn were stealing into train yards under cover
of darkness to spray-paint colourful mural-size
renderings of their names, imagery from underground
comics and television, and even Andy Warhol-like
Campbell’s soup cans onto the sides of subway cars.
9. II. History:
• Soon, influential art dealers in the United
States, Europe, and Japan were displaying
graffiti in major galleries.
• New York City’s Metropolitan Transit Authority
responded with dogs, barbed-wire fences,
paint-removing acid baths, and undercover
police squads.
11. II. History:
• The beginnings of the dancing, rapping, and
deejaying components of hip-hop were bound
together by the shared environment in which
these art forms evolved.
• The first major hip-hop deejay was DJ Kool
Herc (Clive Campbell), an 18-year-old
immigrant who introduced the huge sound
systems of his native Jamaica to inner-city
parties.
12. II. History:
• Using two turntables, he melded percussive
fragments from older records with popular dance
songs to create a continuous flow of music.
• Kool Herc and other pioneering hip-hop deejays
such as Grand Wizard Theodore, Afrika
Bambaataa, and Grandmaster Flash isolated and
extended the break beat (the part of a dance
record where all sounds but the drums drop out),
stimulating improvisational dancing.
13. II. History: HIP-HOP IN THE 21ST CENTURY
• As the century turned, the music
industry entered into a crisis,
brought on by the advent of digital
downloading.
• Hip-hop suffered at least as severely
as or worse than other genres, with
sales tumbling throughout the
decade.
14. II. History: HIP-HOP IN THE 21ST CENTURY
• Simultaneously, though, it solidified its standing
as the dominant influence on global youth
culture.
• Even the massively popular “boy bands,” such as
the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC, drew heavily on
hip-hop sounds and styles, and rhythm and blues
and even gospel had adapted so fully to the
newer approach that stars such as Mary J .
Blige, R. Kelly, and Kirk Franklin straddled both
worlds.
16. III. Classifications/Types:
Locking:
- (originally Campbellocking) can be traced back to the late
1960’s and was created by Don Campbell. It is a style of funk
and street dance and originally danced to traditional funk
music such as James Brown.
- The name is based on the concept of locking which 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. It relies on fast and
distinct arm and hand Hip Hop Manual 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.
17. III. Classifications/Types:
• Locking includes quite a lot of acrobatics and
physically demanding moves, such as landing on
one's knees and the split.
• These moves often require knee protection of
some sort.
• Other important stylistic features are waving of
arms, pointing, walking stationary and grabbing
and rotating the cap or hat.
• Don Campbell created the original freezes,
incorporating his unique rhythm and adding
gestures such as points and handclaps.
18. III. Classifications/Types:
• In the early 1970s this set off a movement of Locking
dance groups, notably Campbell's group The Lockers.
Another locker called Greggery 'Campbell Jr.' Pope and
others set the foundation for locking dance and clothes
style.
• Lockers commonly use a distinctive dress style, such as
colorful clothing with stripes, suspenders, pegged knee
length pants, hats and gloves.
• 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.
20. III. Classifications/Types:
Popping
- The best way to describe the movement of popping
would be to imagine a force of energy going through the
body causing it to move like a wave..
- This style is difficult to manage at the technical level as it
requiring command of isolations, a perfect knowledge of
the body, and a good sense of the rhythm with major use
of counter-tempo.
- The style demands continuous contraction of the muscles
to the beat to give a jerky/snapping effect – a bouncy
style.
22. III. Classifications/Types:
Electric Boogie
• Electric boogie is a style of popping (ticking) but
the major difference is that Popping creates a
soft wave whereas Electric Boogie creates more
jerky waves with micro wave moves, executed
with a high velocity more difficult than classical
popping.
• The Robot, and the more smooth and controlled
movements of mime are characteristic.
23. III. Classifications/Types:
• Instead of throwing the body in and out of
control like locking, or in total hydraulic
control like The Robot, energy is passed
through the body popping and snapping
elbows, wrists, necks, hips and just about all
the body joints along the way.
• Electric Boogaloo is more like mime in the
sense that it imitates a live wire of electrical
current or rippling river, but it still needs the
control of The Robot to give it style.
25. III. Classifications/Types:
Breakdance / B-Boying
• Breaking or b-boying, commonly called
breakdancing, is a style of dance that evolved
as part of hip-hop culture among Black and
Latino American youths in the South Bronx
during the 1970s.
• It is danced to both hip-hop and other genres
of music that are often remixed to prolong the
musical breaks.
26. III. Classifications/Types:
Four basic elements form the foundation of breaking
• The first is Toprock, a term referring to the upright dancing and
shuffles.
• The second element is Downrock which refers to footwork dancing
performed on the floor.
• The third element is the Freeze, the poses that breakers throw into
their dance sets to add punctuation to certain beats and end their
routines.
• The fourth element is the Power Moves. These are the most
impressive acrobatic moves normally made up of circular motions
where the dancer will spin on the floor or in the air.
27. III. Classifications/Types:
Uprock
- is a soulful, competitive street dance using
the rhythms of Soul, and Funk music.
- The dance consists of foot shuffles, spins,
turns, freestyle movements, sudden body
movements called "jerks" and hand gestures
called "burns".
- Uprock is said to be mastered with discipline,
patience, heart, soul, and knowledge.
29. III. Classifications/Types:
Funk
- Funk dancing originated on the West coast of
the United States, where it developed in the late
60’s as a reaction to the fusion of Soul and
Disco, as well as early R’n’B and Hip Hop music.
- It is a highly choreographed dance form,
similar to dances seen on commercial video
clips. It features a mixture of sharp and fluid
movements, popping & locking and animated
expression.
31. III. Classifications/Types:
Streetdance
• Streetdance is very physical and incorporates
dance moves from all over the world.
• Various dance styles are mixed with a multi-
cultural influence and funky tunes.
• Generally a Streetdance routine can include
locking and popping, street style and funk.
Streetdance is a FUSION of styles from the Hip
Hop genre.
32. III. Classifications/Types:
Tutting/Tetris
• Tutting or Tetris is a dance style that mimics
the angular poses common to ancient
Egyptian art.
• Whoever coined the term probably imagined
that this was how King Tut danced.
• The style is rapidly evolving but there are
some constant rules that define it.
33. III. Classifications/Types:
Tutting/Tetris
• The most important stylistic convention is that
limbs form 90 degree angles.
• While this constraint is fundamental, and for the
most part is not violated, other aspects of the
dance are in flux.
• Dancers used to utilize a limited set of static
hiero-inspired poses, but they now have begun to
create more complex geometric patterns
involving interaction between multiple limbs.
38. Battle
• A battle is a freestyle where dancers 'fight'
against each other on the dance floor without
contact.
• They form a circle and take turns trying to
show each other up by using either a better
style, more complex combinations, or harder
moves.
40. Liquid Dancing
- a form of gestural dance that sometimes
involves pantomime
- invokes the word liquid to describe the fluid-
like motion of the dancers’ body and limbs
- primarily the dancers’ arms and hands which
are the focus, though more advanced
dancers work in a full range of body
movements
- similar to the styles of popping or locking.
42. Boogalo
- a fluid style, that uses every part of
the body and involves using angles
and smooth movements to make
everything flow together
- it often uses rolling of the hips,
knees, and the head and is often
used as a transition
44. Ragga
- a dance style originating (in the late 70’s)
from street dance by AfrojamaĂŻcans,
Afrocarabians, which uses music which
evolved from classical Reggae with a hip
hop influence
- the style used is a combination between
hip hop moves, afro moves with latin
influences with sensuality
45. Ragga
- it requires very good physical condition,
as many muscles are involved in the
Raggajam, particularly in the lower part
of the body
- correct execution requires good
technique.
47. House Dance
- House is a group of dance styles primarily
danced to house music that have roots in the
clubs of Chicago in the late 70’s and early 80’s
-the main styles include Footwork, Jacking and
Lofting. Like hip hop dance it was created by
black and latino Americans and is often
improvisational in nature
48. House Dance
-it emphasizes fast and complex foot oriented steps
combined with fluid movements in the torso
- incorporates movements from many other
sources such as Capoeira, tap, jazz, bebop, and
salsa
- it includes a variety of techniques and sub-styles
that include skating, stomping, and shuffling
- one of the primary elements in house dancing is a
technique called jacking and involves moving the
torso forward and backward in a rippling motion,
as if a wave were passing through it
49. House Dance
- this movement is repeated and sped up to match
the beat of a song
- this technique is the most important movement
in house dancing
- all footwork in house dancing is said to initiate
from the way the jack moves the center of gravity
through space
- other than footwork, jacking, and lofting, house
dance has grown to include other related styles
such as vogue, wacking and hustle
51. Lyrical
- Lyrical hip-hop is a fluid and more interpretive
version of new style hip-hop most often
danced to downtempo rap music or R&B
music
- Lyrical is "hip-hop with emotion“
- it focuses more on choreography and
performance and less on freestyles and battles
52. Lyrical
- the name lyrical comes from the word "lyrics"
because dancers use the lyrics of a song or
instrumental music to inspire them to do certain
movements or show expression
- the goal of a lyrical dancer is to use gesture, facial
expression, and controlled movements in order
to execute their movements and emotions fully
- besides emotional connection to music, lyrical
dance typically encourages use of articulation,
line, weight, and movement qualities
54. Stepping
- Stepping or step-dancing is a form of percussive
dance in which the participant's entire body is
used as an instrument to produce complex
rhythms and sounds through a mixture of
footsteps, spoken word, and hand claps
- though stepping may be performed by an
individual, it is generally performed by groups of
three or more, often in arrangements that
resemble military formations
55. Stepping
- Stepping may also draw from elements of gymnastics,
tap dance, march, or African and Caribbean dance, or
include semi-dangerous stunts as a part of individual
routines
- some forms of stepping include the use of props, such
as canes, rhythm sticks and/or fire and blindfolds
- the tradition of African stepping is rooted within the
competitive schoolyard song and dance rituals
practiced by historically African American fraternities
and sororities, beginning in the mid-1900s
57. Free Running
- Free running or freerunning is a form of urban
acrobatics in which participants, known as free
runners, use the city and rural landscape to perform
movements through its structures
- It incorporates efficient movements from parkour, adds
aesthetic vaults and other acrobatics, such as tricking
and street stunts, creating an athletic and aesthetically
pleasing way of moving.
- It is commonly practiced at gymnasiums and in urban
areas (such as cities or towns) that are cluttered with
obstacles
58. Free Running
- The term free running was coined during the
filming of Jump London, as a way to present
parkour to the English-speaking world
- However, the term free running has come to
represent a separate, distinct concept to parkour
— a distinction which is often missed due to the
aesthetic similarities
- Parkour as a discipline emphasizes efficiency,
whilst free running embodies complete freedom
of movement — and includes many acrobatic
maneuvers
61. Punking
- This style came in 1970s from the West coast,
directly Los Angeles, where it was developed
in clubs and underground scene
- Punking was first spotted in gay clubs in
Hollywood
- Dancers began to represent it on television
and it became well-known thanks to Soul Train
- Punking then became a part of many shows
from Hollywood to Las Vegas
63. Waacking
- Waacking is a name that some of the Soul
Train dancers began to use instead of the
initial term punking
- Some say that punking was the correct name
for the underground style, while waacking or
whacking came later, when the dance became
popular
64. Waacking
However, this dance style reacted to changes of
music:
a. Punking-1970-1974 - at this time the music is moving
in more funk direction. Clothing was very colorful,
funky. Dancers had a funky feeling. This is why this
style mixed with lockin. In fact, these two styles were
very close to each other thanks to a funky feeling
65. Waacking
However, this dance style reacted to changes of music:
b. Waacking-1974 - about this time broke out "Disco
Madness". Music began to take a different direction. Dancers
started to wear completely different clothes. Women danced
in a dress and heels, men exchanged a funky T-shirts for shirts
and jackets. The style began to change more in the direction
of jazz. The dance included a lot of lines, poses (which was
mostly inspired by movie stars of 1930s’) and other technical
design movements of hands that you wouldn’t definitely find
in the punking. In particular, the overall attitude of the body
has changed thanks to the footwear and clothing. Dancers
began to dance everything more in upright stand unlike in
punking, which was far more in the knees.
66. Waacking
- this style was "forgotten" for a while and
survived in a small group of dancers who are so
devoted
- today waacking and punking is experiencing a
"rebirth" in different forms
- For example, in NY you will see primarily jazzy
form, but more funky in Japan
68. Voguing
- Vogue is a form of modern dance, as well as waacking
and was created by the gay community
- The style is inspired by photos of models in poses in
various positions such as posturing hands, feet, body
movements in linear, angular and precise, fixed
position.
- Inspirational material for the dancers were fashion
magazines like Vogue, Elle ... which often drew
inspiration from photos of extravagant models
- This style of dance arose from Harlem ballrooms by
African Americans and Latino Americans in the early
1960s
69. Voguing
- It was originally called "presentation" and later
"performance”.
- Over the years, the dance evolved into the more
intricate and illusory form that is now called
"vogue.“
- Voguing is continually developed further as an
established dance form that is practiced in the
gay ballroom scene and clubs in major cities
throughout the United States—mainly New York
City, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Philadelphia,
Washington D.C., Miami, Detroit, and Chicago
70. Voguing
- Currently there are 3 different styles, or we
can say "schools" in Voguing
1. Old Way (pre- 1980)
2. New Way (1990)
3. Vogue Fem (started around 1985)
71. Voguing
Old way
- characterized by the formation of
symmetrical and precise lines, creating a
wonderful variable action with proper attitude
-Egyptian hieroglyphs and fashion poses
serve as the original inspirations for old way
voguing
72. Voguing
New way
- characterized by a more precise geometric
patterns associated movements called "Click" (arm
twisting in the joint) and "arms control" (agility
hands and wrist illusions, which usually make "tut"
or "tutting" and locking or stopping movement
-can also be described as a modified form of
mime - where imaginary geometric shapes such as
boxes, are presented during the move, that move
progressively around the body of dancer and
showing dancers dexterity
73. Voguing
Vogue Fem
- largest extreme flexibility and fluidity, exaggerated
feminine movements, influenced by ballet, modern dance
and in the case of "dramatic" Vogue Fem, emphasize
jumps and tricks
- includes other forms of dance moves such as:
Modern jazz, ballet, gymnastics, martial arts, break
dancing, yoga
-Some dance historians even point out that
breakdance and vogue evolved together in a bilateral loan
of movement, with artists from both parties interacting
one another in Central Park, Christopher Street pier,
Harlem and Washington Square Park
