New School Hip-Hop
started in the 1980s as a mix of New Orleans hip-hop music and the traditions
of the Mardi Gras Indian chants
can be danced in both its common and hypersensual
form. It is very much associated with Mardi Gras culture that many types of Bounce
today remain to be highly regional and can rarely be seen dancing outside of the music
scene of New Orleans, Miami, Baltimore, and other music hubs
Bounce
this dance is inscribed with funk style popularized by dance group
Electric Boogaloo in the 1970s
This dance focuses on the movement of legs, hips, knees,
and the frequent use of exaggerated robotic-like moves
Electric Boogaloo
eminently improvisational and freeform, Jazz dance quickly morphed into a
performance dance that emulated elements of ballet which were inspired by
Afro-American slaves in the early 20th century
Street Jazz
dance style also known as gangsta-walling that originated quite recently in the 1990s on the streets of Memphis, Tennessee
dance involves the movement
that emulates the “bounce” in the core beat of the crunk music that often accompanies
this dance style
