How do you hiphop dance?

Question:I think that's what it's called, but if there's another word for it, here's the video that Chris Brown dances in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqumjziPT...

I really want to know how to dance like that. To be able to slide and spin and how to actually DO those moves. Does anyone know any pointers or videos that I can watch to learn?

Thanks! :D

Hip hop basically has to do with isolations. Chris Brown does break dancing, hip hop, popping, locking, etc. They're all isolations in the muscle which make very tense and sudden movements. You can't expect to learn these online you have to be taught by a professional teacher who can show you the muscle stretches you're supposed to do before you start a routine. I suggest you sign up for some classes by a dance school you can trust (Alvin Ailey has a great hip hop course.) I wish you luck on your hiphop!

take dance courses...duh!

well my friend she goes to a private dance class/session so i would do that and tell them that u want to learn how to dance and spin and they will do it for u and u can learn Ok?

ur not going to be able to become good by watching videos, u hav to get out there and take classes! trust me they will be worth it if u go to the right studio

the best way to start hiphop is to begin the fundamentals, or the moves from where hiphop came, these are called uprock and poplock, uprock is shifting your upper body in a swaying movement while your feet switch round so it seems like you might tangle yourself, that's the amazing part of hiphop, poplock is making "locking" movement troughout your body as if a wave was passing through your arm to your chest and down to your leg, combine these moves together and you have hiphop

OMG

This is my favorite song in the world!

Oh anyways, what i do is watch the videos and practice dancing ;D
doing those dance moves ARENT EASY. thats why Chris Brown is pro so if I were you I'd keep practicing hip hop and stuff. lolz i wanna do that.

but with more practice you'll be able to do that. here are some o fthe videos I use. oh and by the way, hip hop is all about attitude and you have to feel the weight of your body and kinda hang low. and this always helps me when i'm doing hip hop, I think of something that makes me angry or some people i hate right now and then i think of how bad i wanna punch themm... that'll put more energy into your dance ;D and just take it step by step if its too fast and you dont know how to do it
