Hip hop dancing was invented by african and latin american people in Bronx ,New york.I hope the reader understands that hip hop is not an element or a tool, its a culture.Hip-hop dancing or breaking as some people refer is one of the four pillars of the hip hop culture.Hip hop is often a freestyle type of dancing and is attractive in its own way.What separates hip-hop dance from other forms of dance is that it is often freestyle in nature and hip-hop dancers frequently engage in battles—formal or informal freestyle dance competitions. Informal freestyle sessions and battles are usually performed in a cipher, a circular dance space that forms naturally once the dancing begins. These three elements—free styling, battles, and ciphers—are key components of hip-hop dance.
Hip hop dancing originated in the1970s an is been around for almost 30 years, it was highly popularised by certain crews and individuls such as james brown the lockers and drifterz crew.the electric boogaloos,The dance industry in particular responded with studio/commercial hip-hop, sometimes called new style, and jazz funk. These styles were developed by technically trained dancers who wanted to create choreography for hip-hop music from the hip-hop dances they saw being performed on the street. Because of this development, hip-hop dance is now practiced at both studios and outside spaces.Soon hip-hop dancing had made its way to movies and music videos.
