Techniques Used In Street Dance There are far to many different steps and techniques evident in street dance to mention, and more are being created everyday. Below is one of my favourite examples of street dance, it is a hip-hop routine and has many different techniques used, which i will point out below as i will use it as an example.

 Some of the most evident techniques are popping, krumping, freezes and body rolls. These are all very effective in making the dance so refined, and give it the pizazz it has. The popping and krumping are  done   very regularly as they are very sharp movements, that are performed in time with the music to keep the dance together. The freezes are very effective, in not only defining key points in the music, but they give the dance more edge and add more suspense and drama to it. Body rolls are a very common hip-hop move, they are pretty much always performed by women as it is seen as a very "sassy" move at times. They are very popular as they, like freezes as drama to the dance. There was also a lot of hair flicking, which personally i think is a technique as it add's personality, dynamics, texture and flare.  This is just one example of how certain techniques are used, but there are so many more. e.g. floor work, sliding, shuffling, clapping etc.   home   []
