      The English name of hip-hop is Hip Hop. It is a street culture performed by African Americans from a sport to vent their emotions. It is characterized by strong explosive power. When dancing, the movements of the body are also exaggerated compared with other dances. The most attractive thing is the passionate feeling brought about by the vitality of the whole body.

      At the same time, hip-hop dancing also has a slimming effect, because hip-hop dancing is a medium-low intensity aerobic exercise. In one hour of exercise, it has a strong effect on consuming body fat. In addition, hip-hop is a small muscle movement. Regular practice can increase the coordination of your whole body and make your body proportions more standard. Of course, after learning hip-hop dance, you can also show off your skills in a disco!

      Tips for learning hip-hop dance

      1. The music used when practicing hip-hop is a very distinctive Hip-Hop rhythm, so everyone must first be familiar with and adapt to the characteristics of the accompaniment music before practicing. If as soon as you hear the music, you can step on the steps accurately and freely and in time with the music, then you are ready to start learning hip-hop.

      2. When practicing radio gymnastics and aerobics, the coach may require most of the movements to be "horizontal, horizontal and vertical", while hip-hop emphasizes arbitrariness and requires loose movements, so during practice you should relax your muscles and joints as much as possible to make them more flexible.

      3. When learning from a coach, there are generally certain procedures. Let me teach you a few tricks:

      a. Listen to music and become familiar with the rhythm;

      b. Keep an eye on the coach’s feet and learn the steps;

      c. After becoming familiar with the movements of the lower limbs, you can learn the movements of the trunk and upper limbs. Note: The key is to synchronize the movements of all parts of the body, that is to say, combine the movements of the lower limbs with the movements of the trunk, upper limbs and other parts.

      1. Turn your body 90° to the left and push your right foot forward and downward.

      2. Circle your shoulders in sequence, lift your left shoulder, and turn your head to the left.

      3. Turn your body 90° to the right, push your feet out to both sides, and expand your chest at the same time.

      4. Lift the knee of your right leg and turn 180° to the left at the same time.

      5. Lift the knee of your right leg and push it down to the left side, then place your back heel on the ground.

      6. Step your left leg to the left, stand with your feet apart, buckle your knees inwards, hold your chest while crossing your arms.

      7. Lift your left leg and push your knee back, while turning your body 180° to the right.

      8. Step your right leg to the right, stand with your feet open, turn your heels outward at the same time, open your arms and expand your chest.
