Over time, that so-called old school way of dancing and participating in hip hop culture has developed a family of off-shoots. Funk dancing, popping and locking, jigging, freaking, krump, and hyphy are examples of types of hip hop dance, and each style contains certain moves that distinguish it from other forms.
