How To Do Hip Hop Dance Moves

Okay, so now, were going to talk you through basic hip hop dancing. Hip hop is a style of dancing so it's a kind of thing you really have to get into the movement of the kind of people and the kind of sort of environment it comes from. Hip hop comes from New York, it comes from the very urban people from the nineteen seventies and eighties and it was something very fresh and new back then, so imagine the kind of people that were doing that.

It's very earthy, it's very kind of into the ground, it's not up and not up high, it's really kind of feet into the ground, very masculine, and very raw. So, here, we're going to borrow some of the basic concepts of hip hop. You're going to pull it off basically, best advice I can give you for any kind of hip hop choreography, is keeping it right down and keeping it loose so you can be literally rocking, getting it to the side, getting it up high, getting it down low, putting a little spin, down, up, down to the side.

Eventually if you get those legs down, you're going to sort of get the jerky feel that you need also very relaxed and try not to give it too many real kind of rough edges. It's the results of transitions with it and a few rough bits on the side so the transitions are very smooth, the finishes are very high, very bouncy legs, smooth transitions, hard finishing. If you follow by those rules in whatever moves you're doing, you're going to do pretty well.

If we were to be walking forward, we might go one, two, three, and four. So, we go one, two, three, and four at the side. Okay, so now, we're going to go back, so we're going to go with our right, left, right, left, right and if you noticed, the transitions are very smooth.

So again, if we might go down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up and those knees are bent as well. I want you to sort of take those moves home, give it your own feel, give it your own vibe and I guarantee you, you'll get away with some great hip hop moves and that's how to hip hop dance. .
