Dancing has always been part of human
culture, rituals, and celebrations. It is performed
by people of all ages.

Dance has many types, styles, and genre.


Each of these has its own unique characteristics,
though some of them may share a few or a lot of
similarities with one another.
HIP-HOP
Hip-hop traces its roots back in the late
1960s when hip-hop culture emerged in New
York among the black Latino ghetto. Clive
Campbell, who was popularly known as ‘Kool
Herc”, was one of the founders of hip-hop. He
was a Jamaican who came to South Bronx in
1967. Later on he was called “DJ”. In jamica,
this term refered to a master of the music system
evolving around the lives of the younger people.
Hip-Hop Dance

was created in 1970s. This dance was made popular
by dance crews in the United States. It was

hip-hop.
