CLASS DESCRIPTION

BBOYING
B-boying or breaking, commonly referred to as breakdancing, is a style of dance that was created, and evolved as part of hip-hop culture among African Americans and later on Latino American youths in New York City.

Breaking includes four primary moves: toprock, footwork, freezes and power moves.

One who practices this style of dance is called a bboy, bgirl, or breaker. The word bboy was first used by Kool Herc giving the name to all the early 70's dancers and the name stuck with them as an elite group of dancers that got down in Kool Herc's parties

LOCKING
Locking (originally Campbellocking) is extremely funky and sociable dance. Created by Don Campbellock, locking generally describes the action of Lockers when they "lock" in position; Locks, Points, Paces, Claps and Twirls.

The movements are generally large and exaggerated, and often very rhythmic and tightly synced with the music. Locking is quite performance oriented, often interacting with the audience by smiling or giving them a high five, and some moves are quite comical in nature.

WAACKING
Waacking focuses mainly on dynamic arms movements, extensions as well as various poses.

It is a dance style which was originated way back in the 1970s. However, it only gained its popularity only in the recent years.

Now, Waacking is not only danced to House music alone. Many people are Waacking to Hip Hop music as well as incorporating this dance style with other dance styles such as Locking, House and Hip Hop.

However, there is a misconception that Waacking is too feminine for men. That is not true. Add in your own flavour. This style is open for everyone!\

POPPING
Popping is a dance style and one of the original funk styles of dance that came out of Fresno, CA in the 1970s.

It is based on the technique of quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to cause a jerk in the dancer's body, referred to as a pop, tick or a hit. This is done continuously to the rhythm of a song in combination with various movements and poses.

Popping is also used as an umbrella term to refer to a group of closely related illusionary dance styles and techniques that are often integrated with popping to create a more varied performance, but it is distinct from break-dancing, with which popping is often confused.

HIP HOP
Hip hop is a cultural movement that originated in the working class communities of New York City, United States, in the late 1970s.

DJ Afrika Bambaataa first outlined the five pillars of hip-hop culture: MCing, DJing, breaking (bboying), graffiti writing, and knowledge.

Initially only Bboying, Hip hop dance has evolved along with its music counterpart. Progressing when different styles and flavour carried influences from other genres, each style has gain popularity and followship and started to branch off as being its own style.

Often associated with high-energy dance steps from music videos, techniques consist of basic bounce, grooving, isolations and even adaptations from funk styles, breaking and also house dancing.
