History of Hip Hop Dance
By Trevor Bart
Hip Hop Dance has a dynamic history. From Breakdancing to the moonwalk from michael Jackson to Krump dancing to Bboy dancing to plain old head nodding. Everyone had their own way of expressing love
for hip hop dancing. Hip Hop Dance History has people buzzing. Why you ask ? Because they are watching all these crazy Hip Hop dancing music videos on tv and they want to know the history of it. Where did this stuff come from.
The history of hip hop dance started with Breakdancing. It started around the late 1970s to early 80s. Breaking started in the south bronx new york. It was a form of Hip Hop dance that was used by street gangs to settle differences without using violence. This was a positive for black and peurtorican youths at the time. People were not losing there lives over bs ya know. One of the first Hip Hop Dance crews in History are the rocksteady crew.
They help usher in a new style of breakdancing that included acrobatic styles such as headspinning, windmills, backspins, waves and all that good stuff. The Rock Steady Crew dropped on the scene around 1979 to 1980.
They were encouraged by a legendary DJ by the name of Afrika Bambatta to use break dancing as a tool to achieve greatness. Afrikaa Bambatta was instrumental in pushing break dancing forward by motivating youth to pursue their love of the art form.
Hip Hop dance the history played a big part of my life. When I was about 6 or 7 me and my neighborhood friends would put on local shows on our driveways charging 5 bucks a pop to let people come and see our freshest moves. Back then we were pumped up from watching all of those breaking movies like beatstreet and breaking.
