There are a lot of hip-hop moves so I can't cover all of them.
Only several of them...

Freeze jump

Start feet together.
Then jump so that when feet land, they will be about a shoulder width apart.
[Remember the "freeze" jump in Dance Dance Revolution, the video game?]

Sandwich jump.....

Reverse of the "freeze jump"
You start with feet shoulder width apart.
Jump with both feet until they close together. This has an effect of a "sandwich"...the legs close as if it was two pieces of bread...

Monkey

Start feet together
Jump with both feet, and land with feet together and
bend your knees "grand-pile" style (remember that in
ballet?...this means "very fully bent knees") and crouch
upper body forward and bend arms inward. This
will give the "monkey shape."

Monkey jump

Start in your "monkey position" explained above for the "Monkey".
Jump and stay in that monkey position throughout.

Boxers' jumps

This came out of the last movements of the Soujia Boy dance.
(you know, "crank dat soujia boy" thing). Both hands are up in fists protecting the upper chest or face, and you jump with both feet as much as you can, usually with the feet loosely
together but not tightly together.

Bend slightly after each jump before you make the next jump.

Happy hip-hopping.....
