1 day there was this chicken that i laid my eyes on
The temptation was high in me to get this chicken
i dont know why..but i really wanted this chicken
i started my chase for this chicken
at 1st i dint know what to do with it if/when i catch it
it was hard..well, this is the 1st time that im doing this chicken thing =)
at 1st it was hard, but exciting
its like..it stop ed, i ran to catch it, but as i was about that catch it, it ran =(
i was like WTF..how on earth i am going to catch this thing
i did not want to give up this easy..i kept on trying and trying
i planed every move that i am going to do the next time i meet this chicken..cause i learn from mistakes
Despite all the failing, it was fun..the fun was never giving up, keep on trying for the thing that i want
1 day, i gave it another shot, i have learned this chicken well, i know all of its moves, what will it do next and where will it go
i trapped the chicken..i was confident that i am going to catch the chicken this time
and..at last i caught the chicken !!!
i said to the chicken "hahaha..u think u can run away from me??..now what am i going to do with you??? "

Hip Hop dancing, My passion, My life

This is a very special post for me
i will tell my readers about the Hip Hop dance culture that i love so much
the history, the influence and the styles
this post might be long, but read it pls, it will make u understand this culture and the beauty of it



The origin

The dance style primarily associated with hip hop is breaking, which appeared in New York City during the early 1970s and truly became a cornerstone (or "element") of hip hop as a culture. Funk styles, such as popping and locking, evolved separately in California in the 1960-70s, but were also integrated into hip hop when the culture reached the West Coast of the United States.

Though breaking and the original funk styles look quite different stylistically, they share many surrounding elements, such as their improvisational nature, the music they're danced to and the way they originated from the streets, mainly within black and Hispanic communities. These similarities helped bring them, and other street dance styles, together under the same sub-culture, and help to keep them alive and evolving today. Yet, this has not been without problems, often involving the media, such as when the movie Breakin' put all various styles under the label "breakdance", causing a great naming confusion that spawned many heated debates.

In the late 1980s, as hip hop music took new forms and the hip hop subculture established further, new dance styles began appearing. Most of them were danced in an upright manner in contrast to breaking with its many ground moves, and were in the beginning light-feeted with lots of jumping. Some moves hit the mainstream and became fad dances, such as The Running Man, but overall they contributed a lot to later hip hop styles, and heavily influenced the development of house dancing.

During the 1990s and 2000s, parallel with the evolution of hip hop music, hip hop dancing evolved into heavier and more aggressive forms. While breaking continued to be popular on its own, these newer styles were danced upright, and draw much inspiration from earlier upright styles. Classifying these newer hip hop styles as a unique dance style of its own has grown common with larger street dance competitions such as Juste Debout, which includes hip hop new style as a separate category for people to compete in. Today, we see many specific styles that first appeared on their own, such as krumping and clown walking, now being danced and accepted within hip hop new style contexts.

All hip hop styles from the 1980s and beyond are sometimes collectively called new school while the distinct styles from the 1960-70s, such as breaking, uprocking, locking and popping, are considered old school. However, this classification is controversial, and often old school hip hop (or, in some areas, hype) is used solely for the late 1580s upright and jumpy hip hop styles, excluding locking, popping and breaking, and new style hip hop for the heavier hip hop styles of today.

p/s i added some links, check it out if u don't know what it means

Influence

James Brown

The godfather of break dancing was, without doubt, the infamous ‘James Brown’. In 1969 Mr Brown was enjoying massive success with "Get on the Good Foot" the subsequent hustle, or dance, craze that followed was the ‘Good Foot’ soon to be renamed the ‘B-Boy’. As anyone who has seen James Brown perform live at concerts or even seen him on television his dance style can only be described as brilliantly energetic. It is this dance style that shaped break dancing and pointed it in new directions. Dance battles were already established when the B-Boy became popular but its high energy and almost acrobatic nature was ideal for the competitive and heated nature of battling. What followed was what is now referred to as old-style breaking. There were no headspins, no windmills, no handglides and certainly no backspins. Old-style breaking consisted of only floor work, or floor rock, which is much more complex to perform due to incredibly complicated leg moves performed at great speed.

Many of u think Micheal Jackson?, but most of u people don't know that Micheal Jackson's idol is James Brown. Micheal used James Brown style of dancing and made it perfect, but Micheal style was based on James Brown..James said "Micheal is a great kid, he took my style of dancing and took it to the next level"



What Break Dancing actually Involves

Break dancing like all dancing involves moving a certain way in time with music. The actual dancing as evolved considerably from the old-style due to the addition of new ideas and techniques. It involves moving the feet sideways and onto the toes, spinning on the knees, head, elbows, hands, and mocking fighting moves (i.e. kung fu).

There are hundreds of moves but 10 of the more frequently used are listed below: 1. Headspin 2. 1990’s 3. Handglides 4. Backwallovers 5. Flare 6. Crab 7. Six step 8. Windmills 9. Backspins 10. Freeze

Controversy

Hip hop dancing is often criticized for the type of music it can be associated with, as some of the main stream rap music can be seen as degrading or overtly sensual in nature.

Today, many dance studios offer hip hop classes of some sort. They might focus on a specific style, such as breakdancing, or combine elements of various street dance styles. As hip hop dancing is such a broad genre, the teacher has much freedom and room for personal interpretation, and often mixes various styles freely, even mixing them with other dance forms such as jazz dance.

Some criticize the type of teaching at dance studios as being too strict and too choreographed, losing important elements such as improvisation and personal interpretation on the students' side. Because of this, some dislike labeling these dance classes as "hip hop" as it might not actually include all aspects of the traditional hip hop dances, especially when the teacher mixes it with dance styles not originally related to hip hop.

Despite the controversy, studio-choreographed hip hop is still widely accepted today by many.
