Hip Hop

No matter who you are or where you come from, you've probably heard of hip hop. Although it is considered to be a more "modern" form of dance, having first risen to popularity in the 70's, hip hop has proceeded to take the world by storm. Hip hop can trace its origins to the streets of many American cities, such as Los Angeles, Compton, and New York City. It attracted the attention of many young adults, who happily adopted the new moves as a form of dance. From the start, it was common to see, on many city sidewalks, hip hop competitions taking place, their participants popping, locking, and gliding with grace and dexterity. Although the exact origins and ideas behind this type of dance are partially shrouded in mystery, it has become wildly popular worldwide, and will continue to inspire many generations of dancers for years to come.
