parties and gatherings. This form of dance is commonly recognized in our modern American society, but where did it all start? Hip-hop dancing started in the 1970s in New York City, where the first professional street-based dance crews formed. Around the time, young dancers would hit the parties and mimic the moves that were seen by dance crews and on the streets. Clive Campbell, better known as DJ Kool Herc, played an instrumental role in the birth of this dance form. Campbell, a Jamaican, was a
Breakin’(1995) is a film about the story of a jazz dancer named Kelly who meets two break dancers named Ozone and Turbo. The movie depicts their struggle from the street competitions to the stage of a professional jazz show. This movie also reveals that the way members of society view hip hop influences the effort one has to make in order to succeed in the industry. Throughout the movie, one sees how certain individuals perceive breakdancing to be similar to a comedy act. This is equivalent to
spinning moves (power moves), and freeze. B-boying came from Bronx, NY. The term "B-boy" or "B-boying" was created by Kool Herc who was a DJ spinning at block parties in Bronx back in the days. B-Boys means break boys and they were called so because they dance to the break part of music. Later, by repeating this break part done by DJ, "breakbeats" was born. Although people tend to pick up only power moves, real b-boys should master the all elements of b-boying. There are controversy between people who emphasize
the streets of New York mainly in the low-income areas such as Brooklyn, and the Bronx. It originated within the African American and Latino community and eventually spread throughout all communities. James Browns music dramatically affected the evolution of break dancing with the smash hit “Get one the Good Foot” in 1969. The song started off the style of dance “Good-Foot,” which later became known as “B-boyin.” When break dancing first started out
The street I will be looking at for this question is Bracknell High Street. It is a pedestrianised street with shops and takeaways, and a dance studio viewed as private. Recent plans to modernize the street has left some members of the community feeling disgruntled. There are also few ethnic shops, leaving some groups to feel disconnected from the street. The fact that only pedestrians can access the street has lead to issues over parking and inconvenience to motorists. ‘Change can be seen as threatening
Being in this semester of Hip Hop Dance and Culture I have learned many new things about the history of Hip Hop. I started getting interested in hip hop in middle school and I would watch my cousins perform with their dance company. That was what I thought hip hop was, I now have learned that it was basically commercialized hip hop. Hip hop is a fairly new culture when compared to older contemporary dances like ballet which has been around for centuries. Through this paper I want to go deeper

DVD and Learning Companion 1 to outline how material things favour the activities of some groups of people over others on a street that I know. The street I will be focusing my essay on is West Main Street in Armadale, West Lothian. This street is a lot like City Road in Cardiff in terms of the businesses of which it is made up. Family run businesses dominate West Main Street, like Coia sweet shop, Peking House Chinese take away, Talking Heads hairdressers and Allure beauty salon, as well as bigger
Throughout history, dance has served as a form that performs and embodies the cultural values of the society it is in. The idea of dance varies within intellectual traditions and develops to a wider concept of movement practices within individual cultures. Dance can be looked upon as a culturally formed activity that offers information about human behavior in a certain society. Dance has also served to disrupt the cultural values in a society due to cultural evolution and cultural migration.
The sheer white curtains billow in through the open window with the warm night air, like the sails of a ship setting off into the night. Lying in bed, I hear the buzz of a scooter whizzing through the streets, ironically followed by the rhythmic clip-clop of horseshoes meeting the cobblestone streets. It is our last night in Salzburg, Austria, and that moment embodies what makes this city appeal to me so much. Somehow, in the midst of the chaos of the twenty-first century, Salzburg has preserved many
The dance club is no longer an exclusive venue drawing together people with similar musical interests. Instead, it has become the commercialized superclub, where profit rather than music is the bottom line. As a space traditionally influenced by homosexuals becomes a major business opportunity, this commercialization has led to the inclusion of gay subcultures within mainstream American society. However, this process has served to reinforce social stigma and stereotypes. The advertising and club
Reaction Paper to Mean Streets Mean Streets' greatest influence in American cinema was not on directors or scriptwriters (though its influence there was considerable) but rather on actors. The film has Harvey Keitel (as Charlie) at its center, whose solidity and slight dullness as an actor keeps the film from spinning off into total anarchy; but it is Robert De Niro's Johnny Boy (Charlie's wild, self-destructive friend whom he looks out for with all the obsessiveness of an older brother)

foreign medieval culture. Fokine was extremely and consciously consistent in his works. Fokine explains, “The ballet should be staged in conformity with the epoch represented.” Fokine sets his 1911 ballet, Petrouchka, in Russia. The first scene is a street fair, which Fokine sets appropriately. He is sure to make the costumes realistic of that time and place. Rather than dressing the dancers in tutus and leotards, they wear dresses that are brightly colored and long. They are bundled up appropriately
When one thinks of different dance forms, one would tend to look at the beauty of it and how it makes people feel. But understanding the origin of some of the dances should help one to appreciate the importance the art form of dance has made in history. Through both of the dance forms there would be a discussion between the origins as well as the similarities and contrast of ballet and classical Chinese dance.
