Hip-Hop Dance

Street Dance has developed from various cultural influences. In addition to the "Freestyle Dance" technique of combining accentuated body movements, steps, arm, head and hand positions, Street incorporates the 'Basic Rhythmic Groove". This enables the dancer to first establish the rhythm of the music, gradually adding basic head or shoulder actions, before combining more advanced techniques such as popping and locking. It should be performed with rhythmical attitude and expression reflecting the mood of the music. (The I.D.T.A Freestyle Committee 2006-2008)
