hop dance style that originated among Black and Puerto Rican youths in New York City
during the early 1970s. A practitioner of this dance is called a b-boy, b-girl, or breaker.

appearance of popping.
 Locking or campbellocking - was created by Don Campbellock Campbell in 1969 in Los
Angeles, California. It was popularized by his crew, The Lockers. Locking can be identified
by its distinctive stops. It is usually performed by stopping the fast movement that you are
doing, locking your body into a position, holding it, and then continuing at the same speed as
before. In locking, dancers hold their positions longer. The lock is the primary move used in
locking. It is similar to a freeze or a sudden pause. A locker’s dancing is characterized by
frequently locking in place and after a brief freeze moving again.

dancers today. Tutting is still a greatly respected move and King Tut aka Mark
Benson is widely acclaimed for pioneering the style.

5 BENEFITS OF STREET DANCE
AND HIP-HOP
 Enhance your Mood

- This dance form is no longer just the territory of youth who bop their way from

being disengaged to being driven - it's also an outlet for a growing number of adults
who need their own story, to express themselves and to feel part of something. Street
Dance can sometimes be reduced to real life impersonating an MTV video. We
think it has this wonderful ability to get people to work hard, lose themselves, and
come out the other side feeling valued - less celebrity, more sanity, self-esteem and
sense of community.
 Cardio That's Enjoyable

- Street Dance is a fun way to cardiovascular fitness glory, as opposed to running on

a treadmill or riding a bike up a hill. If merely imagining those activities makes you
cringe, maybe it's because you hate the thought of being mentally present during
torturous forms of exercise, able to feel every movement in your knees and hear the
clock hands tick-tocking as you lose minutes of your life in the sweat pit that is the
gym.
5 BENEFITS OF STREET DANCE
AND HIP-HOP
 Street Dance Is Versatile

- Whether you want to steal some thunder and go it alone, or make it rain as part
of a crew, mastering a routine is a rewarding experience. With Street Dance, you can
learn formations that enable you to dance to trending rap, funk, hip hop or pop music.
 Unleash Your Attitude

- There are a lot of styles within the genre of Street Dance, from popping and
locking to breakdancing and house dance, so there's naturally a lot of room for self-
expression, and attitude. You can safely let it all out here, and there's also a
real chance of elevating your hobby, to make a profession out of your expressiveness.
 A True Head To Toe Dance

- While learning the basics of Street Dance, you'll work on strengthening your
hands, feet and joints - as opposed to more traditional dances which don't always
demand complete control over the shapes made by the extremities of your body.
From creating turfing hand illusions, which rely on wrist movements, to air-walking,
which asks for strict control of the heels - there are many moves that require attention
to the smaller details of form and co-ordination.
