Hip Hop in NW Calgary

Performance Division Hip Hop

Hip Hop dance is a subsection of Hip Hop culture, which was popularized in the South Bronx community of New York City in the 1980s. Hip Hop culture stemmed from graffiti art, break dancing, deejaying, and rap music.

Hip Hop dance performances are characterized by sharp movements referred to as breaking, locking, and popping, primarily performed to Hip Hop music. Dancers are often encouraged to show their creativity through improvisation, referred to as “freestyling.”
