Ok so I started dance wayyyy back when I was like 13 & I thought it kool

Flash forward to 24 & I still dance randomly but have wanting to learn ballroom for the longest time, I started out bboying but I'm a skinny Chinese guy so it did not work well

After I realize that most normal folks duno what popping or locking is (i bet a lot of them still dont) so I took it up as it kind kool

then realize my popping was hip hop as told by a friend, so now I have no idea what I actually do beside random stuff & till this day I still have no idea

I also tried krump as well as the melbourne shuffle which I learn in 06 before lmfao became lmfao & as well as a few other style

I was never dedicated as a dancer so I just self taught & pick stuff up as I go along, Im pretty bad at dancing but I still do randomly for the heck of it

Anyone else wanna share & yes I really wanna learn ballroom as I have tried the jive lindy hop swing which is all under the same family

Actually Skinny Chinese guys and Mid-builds are good for dancing and looks nice when dancing, not a formerly 50kg guy turned 120 the n 92 thne 83 and now is good tank muscular+fat build and chubby stomach can do jack shit no more..

Only DDR/ITG is all i have left holmes, I'm sadddd.

I never tried dancing, not even clubbing, hell those kinnect games on XBOX sounds tempting but i never felt the need to dance....

also

YOU GOT THEM MOVES SON!!!!!
D D R
GET UP INTO DA MUSIC.

DDR MENU INSERT COIN.
Or ITG.

I see ITG as a unothodox dance style game with beats and stomps as teh back up beats and stuff. pretty much itg/ddr = musical artistry

What kind of popping? Well kind of popping requires a good pop,so start from there

1st step is to learn how to pop, there a video YouTube where a Korean teaches how to do the pop look it up

Saying that you're going to try out K-pop choreo means that you're gonna try teaching K-pop dance moves to dancers lol

choreo is somewhat more like teaching and creating dance steps

Anyone else look back at old videos of themselves and think "Wow I've improved so much?"

Just had another moment like that

It's been almost 3 years since I started to learn to dance by myself....

I Think I will actually reply to this thread. because it is relevant to my interests.

Umm, Before starting any dance you have to start with foundation. What is dance?

Dance is movement to music. Correct but then dance is the expression of ones self to the music. Ergo, if the music has a higher tempo & more of an upgroove, your dance should reflect that and your expression should be one of a "happier" or jesty sort of style.

History

Now onto what I do know, which is hip hop. Hip hop is not a "dance style" it is actually a culture which date back to 60s -70s. Hip Hop consists of 4 Original Elements. MC'ing(Master of Ceremony), Dj'ing, Graffiti & Breaking. Hip Hop music actually started from the dance. One Dj during a block party, noticed how the dancers would mainly start dancing during the Breaks of the song ( Without lyrics) and so these dancers were called "Break Dancers". That is why BBoy can be considered as the Original Dance of hip Hop.

Now a few years later, came the introduction of Soul Train, which was like MTV of the 60s-70s. This is how Locking slowly became part of hip hop as well even though Locking is considered to be a party dance. Same thing goes with Popping. Also the OGs of Popping are still alive today. Popping Pete is still alive to my knowledge.

Styles

Today there are so many different styles of what we can consider as "Hip Hop"
  • Commerical Hip Hop
  • L.A Style
  • Wacking
  • Popping
  • Locking
  • Bboying <--- Me
  • Hustle
  • and a few others I can't remember

Just like any other dance, all these styles listed above have foundations, and these foundations require months and years of practice and perfection. As a bboy, 6 step is a foundation, but then I still do drills for 6 step, because it is a foundation move. and I know mine is not perfect yet.

Popping is one of the more technical styles considering that a "Pop" is the contraction and expansion of a singular muscle. That is popping at the VERY BASIC, I am not even considering the difference in Popping styles, G-style, funk etc.

I have to get back to work but I'm going to depart with one last saying that an OG bboy said to me. "Just because you attend dance classes every week does not make you a bboy/popper/LA/Locker whatever. You have to practice it everyday, until you feel it. Only then can you be considered a dancer."
