Hip-Hop Choreography
Hip-Hop choreography offers Hip-Hop dancers a medium to express themselves through dance, while not being constrained or limited by other genres of dance, such as ballet or jazz. Stylistically, Hip-Hop dance is very loose and open, which allows dancers to be influenced from many forms of movement, such as martial arts and every day activities.
Contrary to popular belief that Hip-Hop dancing is dirty, cheap and all about "booty-shaking," Hip-Hop dance offers just as emotionally and physically as any other genre of dance, and while there certainly is a pop element of dance associated with Hip-Hop that does embrace the "booty shaking," that pop element in no way represents the much larger whole.
Hip-Hop choreography can be seen in several dance groups as well as on stage and in videos with performers such as Run DMC and Michael and Janet Jackson.
