Another fact to add. There's JUST Hip Hop! No Lyrical Hip Hop, Yoga Hip Hop, Jazz Hip Hop, Urban Hip Hop, Hip Hop Hip Hop, Street Hip Hop, Thug Hip Hop, etc. Thank You! The more you know, the better you can do.

[@AusafSiddiqui20]

Been trying to explain this to people and your comment will help them agree now. Thanks! Also, when will the intermediate and advance program come out ?

[@adrianjurado8231]

I like hip hop

[@nicksterlouw8647]

Thank you, truth well spoken

[@BboyBabyCAkes]

Been waiting for this kind of video. I think it’s more important for the younger generations to learn more about the history of hip hop, learn how to develop their own styles, techniques, and moves and not to just rely on the urban dance scene hype and urban dance competitions

[@lilacfloral1]

Andrew Rosales so true! gotta bring that knowledge to develop individuality 🙌🏼💯

[@sunilghongade7505]

Hip hop is in our blood We all known is just feel dance all the way hip hop comes out

[@shanylacurry2700]

[@steezystudio]

What would you like to learn about popping/animation?

[@shanylacurry2700]

I would love for you to do a video on. Strobing and ticking and what the main differences between them are. And how to glide on the TIP of your toe and robotics. Thanks for responding to me also how to use the muscle in your chest to chest pop stronger. THANKS I LOVE U STEEZY

As an original old school UK Breaker, it was a pleasure to be influenced by and influence other Breakers. There's a few old school video's of the 80's. 90's and 2000's on my channel of me and my Break dance friends. I enjoyed this snack bite video on Hip Hop culture. Respect, peace and love! B-Boys will always be boys!

When you talk about popping and locking not being the same as hip hop, in a way you are right, but not all the way right. True, popping and Locking has their own culture, technique, and music, but the influence is the same. And it had a big influence on breakers as well. Remember, No one on the east coast knew they were around because it was a west coast thing. Soul Train introduced popping and locking to America. That's how b-boys saw it and learned it. In the early days Poppers and Lockers were considered b-boys as well cause you had to know how to do everything in a crew. Look at the old docs, you see kids from New York popping as they break. So it's not as simple as " popping and Locking is not the same as hip hop"... it is.

[@jtika1978]

Agreed! And popping and locking are used a lot in hip hop. Watching all these KZbin famous choreographers & even freestylers- they all use elements of popping and locking. I mean, do we remember the song Pop Lock & Drop It? 😄

[@clintdelavega8547]

😌👌🏼

[@avanulaneway8418]

if true about only 1 hip hop, can y'all tell these dance schools?? cause I've definitely taken a "street" hip hop class

[@jtika1978]

Unfortunately a lot of studios teach jazz with some booty poppin and call it hip hop.

[@darkfork6097]

Are Street dancing and hip hop the same and what are the sub styles of hip hop?

Sir ,according to 7th point,popping and locking are not part of hip hop, or they fall under hip hop? Please answer, please🙏

[@tinikadavis3546]

What's the back ground track? Who produced it please

[@daphne2108]

Do you have to be flexible to do break dancing or bboying??

[@Joschmo939]

daphy the alien you don’t have to be when starting out, but it’s a huge plus to be flexible because that way you’ll: 1. Be able to have fuller, bigger range of motion in your dancing 2. Be less prone to injury

[@jtika1978]

2:00 what kind of dancing is he saying there?

[@shakeelrichards6673]

Please do a video of lyrical hip hop & how it falls in

[@JadeZuberi]

No such thing.

[@vedangi_Sharma7]

Good question

[@battousaix1494]

Didn't explain why "Knowledge" became an element of hiphop🤔 i thought there were 4 elements though

[@ameeralkanaan8845]

Same dude. I don't get the knowledge element.

[@lajt0r]

Knowledge brings them all together. Keeps up the force of UNITY.

[@Lalox16x]

@@lajt0r isn’t that just the 4 principles of have fun, peace, love, and unity? Back when I dived into hip hop history, everyone said 4 elements. Lols so I’m surprised I’m seeing people say there are 5 elements and even 9 now

[@lajt0r]

@@Lalox16x yeah they are the core elements, OG if you will ;) but as mainstream media rap business took over and HipHop was left behind it was the Knowledge of the teachers and then students who held discussion panels at various events, showed it in thier work etc kept the real Hip Hop alive and therefore Knowledge is seen as the one additional elemnt by many.

Hey you r saying that hip hop dance same as social dance. Bt how. Then y u need a DJ, MC , etc . Social dancers do anything and without knowledge .

[@Joschmo939]

Shiva Shiva Your argument has a fallacy. Hip hop, as a whole, is not just limited to its dancing or social dance, whatever you wish to call it. It was a movement where people in the Bronx back in the 70’s wanted to create their own sound and artistic expression when Disco music was mainstream in the flashy/extravagant part of New York. Pioneers of the hip hop era expressed through........you guessed it: 1.DJ-ing (creating new sound through music) 2. Graffiti (the streets are the canvas) 3. Emcee-ing (rapping) 4. Knowledge (for the youth) 5. Breaking! (Movement) Social dance, how I see it, is a term where people would dance together exchanging energy/vibes, dance by “call & response” to the music(DJ), and is in NO way a staged/choreographed setting. (E.g Clubs, house parties, block parties, social settings etc). The first HIP HOP dance party to come to existence was done by DJ Kool Herc and the first ever Emcee, Coke La Rock. It was at an apartment complex in the Bronx, and the party was held in like a big community room that was an amenity to its residents.(keyword: community room/house party, therefore Social Dance). DJs and Emcees has such an impact on this new sound of Hip Hop that the people who were there were all feeling the music and dancing in such a new way that it eventually formed into a style known as breaking(bboying/bgirling). Hip hop dance was known for its originality and the contributors of Hip Hop being original. Grandmaster flash, one of the first masters of turntable-ism, noticed that 70s disco music DJs at clubs would have to switch out their records for another record when the song was finished(that stops the music, thus people stopped dancing momentarily). He figured out that the only way to keep the crowd dancing NONSTOP was to have dual turntables with a mixer in between, play 2 of the same records on each dual turntables, and extend the breaks that those songs had by doing scratching(he used a crayon to indicate on the vinyl record when the break started and ended) I’ve only explained why Hip hop needs to have at least one of those 5 elements, ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY DJ-ING! Hip hop has a huge cultural significance and global impact through their form of social dancing, it is very different than other art/movement forms. But by definition of social dance, they achieve the same results. House dance is another social type of dance. They did it at the clubs/warehouses. There were DJs mixing up house music to keep the participants dancing and exchanging vibes. Occasionally they would have singers there too(analogy to Emcee) **just another example** Locking, another social dance with its own style. Usually has DJs for music. I know it’s a long explanation, and your head must hurt, but all these reasons and backstory need to be stated and immortalized in order for these WHYS to make sense to those who don’t understand how hip hop came to be. (This is only 10% of the whole era). I hope this clears the air a bit and makes a lot more sense for you! BTW(for those that read this comment): I’m definitely not the most knowledgeable when it comes to hip hop, so if I made any mistake in explaining the history, feel free to correct me by commenting here! I could always solidify my understanding of the history! Love.

[@ShivaShiva-mo9yw]

@@Joschmo939 may be u r right but on KZbin i heard interview of master strech budha (orignater of hip hop ) he said that social dance is not hip hop that's y m saying and thanks for this knowledge but i know all this knowledge bcz i already listen all this on KZbin .. but i want to know that how do you know about hip hop. . is you attended any meetings with legend or hip hop workshop.

[@Joschmo939]

​@@ShivaShiva-mo9yw I will agree to what you say about Buddha Stretch's explanation of social dance. The only sense I can make out of this is that Hip Hop is a social dance, but social dance isn't limited to hip hop. I personally haven't had the honor YET of taking Buddha Stretch's hip hop classes, definitely hearing it from him would help me completely understand his reasoning(I would love to one day)! I have learned from Jade Soul himself multiple times in the Southern California region, Mr. Wiggles, Sho-Tyme(one of my FAVORITE dance teachers, he's a legend and OG when it comes to hip hop dance, check out his work) and other dancers(who are also teachers) that grew up from the culture. I've gotten my knowledge(still learning too!) about hip hop through the music that I listened to growing up, learning breaking/party rocking/new jack swing/litefeet dances(these styles fall under the umbrella of hip-hop dances), and few of my friends that are hardcore hip-hop enthusiasts. If you have Netflix, I highly recommend the Netflix Original series "Hip Hop Evolution." Personally, it's one of the few documentaries about hip hop that isn't boring to me (no offense to other production companies that made their own). I highly recommend watching it because it's fun and engaging, and makes you fall in love with hip hop over again! The series unfortunately doesn't cover the dancing aspect of hip hop, just the culture as a whole & music, but still very informational! P.S. Thanks for the reply & conversation, it was very thought engaging. Might I ask what youtube videos you saw that taught you knowledge about hip hop?? I'm curious! Love.

[@ShivaShiva-mo9yw]

@@Joschmo939 thanks you so much bro for this knowledge actually m from india and I do not know much English, so I have some difficulty in understanding when I listen on KZbin . And i m so curious about hip hop that's y i always comment in comment box to gain perfect knowledge of hip hop , as you saying that y have learned from jade soul then definitely u have good knowledge about about hip hop dance .. can please talk to me on Instagram i want to follow you on Instagram so please send me your id 🙏🙏🙏

@@Joschmo939 but it’s not original. A large majority of hip hop, especially at its roots, derives from vernacular jazz dance and funk. Nothing is original. Nothing new under the sun.
