TIPS: How to dance Hip Hop Better
1. It's all about attitude - Remember that Hip Hop dancing is all about "selling" the performance. Commit to each movement and be confident about everything you do.
2. Learn the basics first - the better your basics are, the better you will be able to execute the more intermediate and advanced Hip Hop moves. So don't jump the gun, instead master the fundamentals.
3. Practice, Practice, Practice - You need to hone down your skills as often as possible. Make sure to practice before every class and at your spare time in between classes. The key is to get the steps into your muscle memory.

How to learn street dancing without leaving home
February 5, 2017LifeSport and fitness
Street dancing is not at all the lot of the elite, endowed with natural plasticity and great talent of people. And not even those who have the willpower to regularly attend a dance studio. You can learn how to move beautifully and correctly without leaving home.
Share
0 Street dancing is a magnetically mesmerizing spectacle.
Surely you have seen how the dancers turn into robots, simulating mechanical intermittent movements, or flutter above the ground, magically hardly touching it with their feet. Here is a video of one of the most famous street dancers Marquis Scott:
All this seems so impossible, out of reach. I would like to immediately dispel the doubts that most viewers have when watching the video.
Common misconceptions about street dancing
1. This guy is a genius because he improvises. Do you see how easily, for example, a “wave” passes through the Marquis’s hand? Before he could do it, he:
- flexed the wrist a thousand times;
- flexed his elbow a thousand times;
- pushed his shoulder forward a thousand times;
- tens of thousands of times connected these movements in series.
Over time, awkward hand rotations turned into a smooth wave.
Actually, here, for clarity:
And so with any element that you see in the dance. Each of them first goes through a long process of cutting and settling in the motor memory of the body. Improvisation is a free combination of such elements.
2. This guy has a talent, not everyone is gifted like that
The movements of each dancer, no matter how free and easy they may seem now, were originally just as timid and clumsy as yours. The same Marquis Scott, whom many will call a genius, before he started dancing, moved no better than anyone else. Dance is not some school of magic that is inaccessible to mere mortals.
Dance is first and foremost a technique. Technique worked to perfection.
Do you hear music, try to move to it, but something extremely clumsy comes out? But the body of the masters "dances by itself"! But how can your body dance if it doesn't know how to move? First teach it them, and then it will perform the dance for you.
And everyone can handle it.
3. I will never succeed in this way
With desire and diligence, everyone will succeed. Get rid of conceited thoughts about your exclusivity.
You must have thought “Wow! I wish I…”, but you don’t even dare to continue this thought to the end, because, of course, “such a talent is not given to everyone, but even more so to me.”
Most likely, many of you watched the video, went to the mirror, tried to make a “wave”, instead got a real storm with 11 points on the Beaufort scale, laughed and went on with your own business. For some reason, people think that a street dancer is gifted by nature. No, in the same way, he once approaches the mirror, tries to do something and laughs at failure. Only then does he approach the mirror again and again.
Street dance in most cases is an improvisation based on a free combination of elements of various dance styles honed to perfection.
Yes, street dancing is a very broad concept that includes breakdancing, locking, house and much more.
So, you understand that there is no magic and mystery in the masterful dance, and the secret of its lightness lies entirely in the development of various movements? Already good. Let's go further.
Technique
What is the study of technique?
- Selecting a specific movement.
- Its breakdown into elementary components.
- Multiple repetition of each of them separately.
- Connecting them in series to the desired movement.
- Repetition of this movement, using it in conjunction with others.
Repetition, repetition, repetition - this is the basis of technique. Why? Because that's how our body learns. At first, the path to each movement will lie through great volitional efforts, control and concentration. Everything will happen slowly. But with each repetition, the new movements will be adapted by the mechanisms of your motor memory. And in the end, the movement will be performed naturally and easily, like a wave of a hand.
You don't have to think about it. It's like learning to ride a bike.
So, mastering the dance is available to everyone. But the path to it lies through the development of technology. And work on technology is labor, long, difficult and sometimes makes you want to cry.
But there is good news.
You can work at home. And most importantly, it will be interesting for you to work.
Because any routine, unpleasant work gets a motive and becomes much more interesting when it brings some result. And the sooner this result manifests itself, the more noticeable it is, the greater the desire to continue the person lights up.
Believe me, you can learn the simplest techniques of magical plastic surgery in the shortest possible time without leaving your home. Of course, you will not become Marquis Scott so quickly, but you will definitely succeed in surprising your friends and relatives, and even yourself. Let's take the mentioned "wave".
By following the instructions from the second video of this article every day for at least 15 minutes, in a couple of weeks you will make the movement correctly, quickly and with the necessary automaticity.
Dancing at home
Now about the main thing. The studio has a professional choreographer who teaches and shows the movements. And at home? And at home there is YouTube, where no less professional dancers have already posted thousands of training videos.
If you are one of those people who has the thought “Wow! I wish I…" when watching the first video, the action plan is as follows: you go to one of the YouTube channels below, watch dance videos and determine whose style you like, open the training videos and, getting up from your chair, without leaving your monitor (well, if there is a mirror nearby), you start doing what is shown in them. That is, repeat, repeat, repeat movements.
Don't worry about the small space: we are not learning the waltz, and you will have enough space to learn the basic movements and perform simple connections.
Here, of course, a lot depends on the dance genre. For example, you can master the bottom break only if you have a lot of space and slippery flooring.
Lifehacker chose the most undemanding styles in terms of square area, united under the name dubstep. It doesn't matter if you like this music: the elements of the style itself can be used in completely different ways.
1. Here is a wonderful school of Alexander Dragon, in which you will find a huge number of videos teaching all the elementary movements of completely different directions, many lessons, links and dances. This school has, perhaps, the most saturated channel on YouTube, which can completely replace classes in the studio.
Don't be put off by the abundance of videos. And in no case do not immediately take on links like this:
To successfully do what Alexander does, you first have to learn the basic principles and movements of waving, tatting, popping and so on.
Do not be afraid of these words: in the "School of the Dragon" you will find information about each direction and find a video with a detailed analysis of any movement. The illusory style practiced here is the closest to what you could see in the video at the beginning of the article. This school is my personal choice.
2. Good dubstep and electric boogie lessons are on the MotionUD channel.
3. Foreign channels include TheRussianTiger and El Tiro. Thanks to the latter, you will learn how to perform the “robot dance” relatively quickly.
4. Good videos about breakdance are available at Break Dance School and Breakwater. Again, this style is not easy to practice at home due to the large space it requires and the special flooring.
Remember, the main thing is sincere desire and regular practice.
Without one, there will be no other. At the same time, desire and practice are a universal remedy for all “failures”.
Good luck in your dancing endeavors!
