Hip hop dance


Creativity always comes from the heart, and hip hop dance is about ingenuity, the way you dance. Essentially, this form of dance is a street dance style, or what we call urban ethnic dance. It evolved as a part of the hip hop culture, from where hip hop music has also emerged. In recent days, hip hop dancing has become immensely popular amongst the youth. This forms of dancing serves as, perhaps, the best way to express one’s creative talent, as it is a dance in which impressions as well as expressions come from the soul.
 
Hip hop dance corresponds to body movements, which harmonize with the beat* and rhythm of music. In this dance style, you can find lots of breaking, popping, locking and free styling, while its movements indulge jumps, breakages, and rotations. Such elements make this dance style amazingly explosive and truly informal. Dances like jazz and ballet are fairly technical and call for special training. While in hip hop, dancers are at liberty to do whatever movement they want to do. All they need to do is simply get familiar with the dancing technique.
 
Hip Hop dance acts as a good exercise for dancers and also helps them to improve flexibility, develop body balance, and coordinate muscles. It also enables the dancers to develop their own style and stay in good body shape. There are many steps and movements in hip hop dance which don’t make a part of ballet and ballroom dance. This style of dance can be learned by anyone who is keenly interested in it, regardless of age or sex, increasingly its popularity all the more.

I'm keen on Dancing= 

Beat: type of music
Indulge: To yield to; gratify: indulge a craving for chocolate.
Enable: To make operational; activate
