It is a style of funk and street dance and originally danced to traditional funk music such as James Brown. The name is based on the concept of locking which means freezing from a fast movement and "locking" in a certain position, holding that position for a short while and then continuing in the same speed as before. It relies on fast and distinct arm and hand Hip Hop Manual movements combined with more relaxed hips and legs. The movements are generally large and exaggerated, and often very rhythmic and tightly synced with the music | | 2 | Popping | The best way to describe the movement of popping would be to imagine a force of energy going through the body causing it to move like a wave..This style is difficult to manage at the technical level as it requires command of isolations, a perfect knowledge of the body, and a good sense of the rhythm with major use of counter-tempo. The style demands continuous contraction of the muscles to the beat to give a jerky/snapping effect - a bouncy style. | | 3 | Electric Boogie | Electric boogie is a style of popping (ticking) but the major difference is that Popping creates a soft wave whereas Electric Boogie creates more jerky waves with micro wave moves, executed with a high velocity more difficult than classical popping. The Robot, and the more smooth and controlled movements of mime are characteristic. | | 4 | Breakdance / B-Boying | Breaking or b-boying, commonly called breakdancing, is a style of dance that evolved as part of hip-hop culture among Black and Latino American youths in the South Bronx during the 1970s. It is danced to both hip-hop and other genres of music that are often remixed to prolong the musical breaks. Four basic elements form the foundation of breaking. The first is Toprock, a term referring to the upright dancing and shuffles. The second element is Downrock which refers to footwork dancing performed on the floor. The third element is the Freeze, the poses that breakers throw into their dance sets to add punctuation to certain beats and end their routines. The fourth element is the Power Moves. These are the most impressive acrobatic moves normally made up of circular motions where the dancer will spin on the floor or in the air.| | 5 | Uprock | Is a soulful, competitive street dance using the rhythms of Soul, and Funk music. The dance consists of foot shuffles, spins, turns, freestyle movements, sudden body movements called "jerks" and hand gestures called "burns". Uprock is said to be mastered with discipline, patience, heart, soul, and knowledge. | | 6 | Funk | Funk dancing originated on the West coast of the United States, where it developed in the late 60's as a reaction to the fusion of Soul and Disco, as well as early R'n'B and Hip Hop music. It is a highly choreographed dance form, similar to dances seen on commercial video clips. It features a mixture of sharp and fluid movements, popping & locking and animated expression. | | 7 | Streetdance | Streetdance is very physical and incorporates dance moves from all over the world.

They form a circle and take turns trying to show each other up by using either a better style, more complex combinations, or harder moves. | | 10 | Liquid Dancing | A form of gestural dance that sometimes involves pantomime. It invokes the word liquid to describe the fluid-like motion of the dancers' body and limbs.

It is similar to the styles of popping or locking. | | 11 | Boogaloo | A fluid style, that uses every part of the body and involves using angles and smooth movements to make everything flow together. It often uses rolling of the hips, knees, and the head and is often used as a transition. | | 12 | Ragga | A dance style originating (in the late 70's) from street dance by Afrojamaïcans, Afrocarabians, which uses music which evolved from classical Reggae with a hip hop influence. The style used is a combination between hip hop moves, afro moves with latin influences with sensuality. | | 13 | House Dance | House is a group of dance styles primarily danced to house music that have roots in the clubs of Chicago in the late 70's and early 80's.

Punking then became a part of many shows from Hollywood to Las Vegas. | | 18 | Waacking | Waacking is a name that some of the Soul Train dancers began to use instead of the initial term punking. Some say that punking was the correct name for the underground style, while waacking or whacking came later, when the dance became popular. | | 19 | Voguing | Vogue is a form of modern dance, as well as waacking and was created by the gay community. The style is inspired by photos of models in poses in various positions such as posturing hands, feet, body movements in linear, angular and precise, fixed position.

This style of dance arose from Harlem ballrooms by African Americans and Latino Americans in the early 1960s. | ## Thanks for Listening The image shows a pixelated cartoon of a person dancing in a blue shirt, purple pants, and blue shoes.
