Answer:
Dancing hip hop requires having YOUR OWN STYLE which means you have to be aware of who you are as a person and not just dance but really feel the music and embrace it. Listen to the words in the songs and react to it. It is so much more than just dancing because you express emotions and feelings through your body movements as well as your face and that can be a powerful thing. It is all about confidence, originality, and rhythm. Hip hop requires discipline in movements and time to develope your style sacrificing performance time as well. It depends on the individual's passion, drive, and physical ability whether or not they will achieve the art of dancing hip hop. I suggest dancing in your room or any place you feel the most comfortable in by yourself. Hip hop music isn't just fast, upbeat, and nonstop you can also dance to slow songs which really challenges your body to not overexagurate movements and control your body, so try dancing to all kinds of music. Having fun and enjoying what your doing allows you to open up. If you want to take lessons I suggest not only taking beginner hip hop classes but you can take jazz, ballet, lyrical, modern, tap, etc. Remember there is no "best" hip hop dancer or dance crew, everyone is equally amazing in their own style and choreography so try to find a studio that best fits YOUR personality and flair and see where it takes you! Always know that you can improve and be open to all experiences. Hip hop dancers take experiences from their lives and share it with the world through their dancing.Good luck and get ready to join millions of people who love to dance! I would also suggest going to youtube.com actually and search for hip hop dancers and dance crews so you can actually see first hand hip hop dancers in their own element and build up your excitement to dance hip hop as well. (you can search for team millennia, boogiezone, kaba modern, and just keep going to different links on youtube-trust me there are amazing hip hop dancers out there that will make you want to dance after the first five seconds of watching!)
Look for local schools or dance studios offering hip hop dance classes. Alternatively, you could find some instructional videos - it's up to you! You could even do both together, to speed your learning along.
Learn to find the rhythm and beat of music. Then go take a hip hop class, or buy a hip hop dance video online or at a store. You can also go to a hip hop dance club and learn by observation and trying it for yourself how to dance to hip hop by copying other people's moves.
Dancing hip hop really has to do with your own style and there really is no specific way to dance hip hop. The best way to learn would be to watch a few shows where they dance hip hop and to practice until you feel you are ready to get out there and show people what you got!
There are many ways to dance to hip hop. There are many instructional videos and classes you can attend. Its all about how you want to go about learning
There are many well known hip hop dance moves, some of which can be performed rather easily. For the best instructions, well known music videos from hip hop artists will give you examples.
Another way is to let the music move you :)
