Summary: Hip hop dancing covers a large range of styles and specific moves and techniques, but the cornerstone of the style is undoubtedly break dancing. Over time, that so-called old school way of dancing and participating in hip hop culture has evolved into many different 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. Many people take hip hop dance lessons, and although some people believe that teaching orchestrated steps is contrary to the roots of the culture and history of hip hop dance, many people benefit from taking lessons.

Take a few moments and watch this free video series designed to help teach some beginner hip hop dance combinations. Our professional dance instructor will teach you such moves as the step out, tap and turn, single leg butterfly and the snake. You will learn to drop and pop, drag turn, push off and step pop. Your new combinations will include the slap and snake, fan kick and roll, and step and turn. Start practicing the basics and before long you will be ready to show off your new combinations at your favorite club.
