What are the ‘official’ names for hip hop moves / steps?
Posted by adminJan 31
I’ve been to classes and learnt a whole lot of dances, but are there specific names for the movements? For example, in Ballet, there is a pirouette, pas de bourre, in jazz a hinge, step ball change etc - but what about hip hop?

Hip-Hop has a lot of terminology. For example, c-walks, baby freezes, V-steps, and coffee grinders.

hip hop moves generally don’t have names. the person who answered before me gave you names of bboying moves which is a type of hip hop dance. other types of hip hop include popping and locking which also have some named moves. you may use some moves from those three specific hip hop styles but when you take a class there are going to be a lot of moves that aren’t from a certain style and that don’t have names.

Its not they have names. they are just moves. Like when hip hoppers dance its like boom chak boom boom.
