Day 5 Disco

1970s saw a revolution in Hollywood, the solo male bandstand style swing dances, were replaced by boys and girls dancing with disco lights, glossy clothes and very typical rhythmic music. You can say when tap dancing supported by hand movements usually up and down and fancy clothes and highly dependent on music which has high-pitch vocals, steady drum-beats and bass line can be defined as a disco dance. Few common dance steps include side stepping , raising your arms overhead, large hip and pelvic movements, and twisting your hands in time to the beat. A few common disco dance steps include pivot turns, foot stamps, and shoulder rocks. Most of the steps in count of 1-2-3-4..

1980s in Bollywood was greatly influenced by Bappi Lahiri and his disco hits. In 1982, an entire movie was made on the life of a disco dancer, and ever since this movie was hit, the main lead Mithun Chakraborty is worshipped as Disco God.....Enjoy this song from Disco Dancer..Music, disco lights, costume, steps...all uniquely identifying DISCO...

Day 6  Hip-Hop

Hip-hop is a street dance style, originating from New York’s young Hispanic and African-American boys.  You can consider Break-Dance as a sub-form of hip-hop.Hip-hop includes various moves such as breaking, popping, locking and krumping, and even house dance. In krumping, the dancers sometimes use physical contact and weight sharing. Generally classifying HipHop is a dance style with lot of attitude and colorful dance-wear accompanying free moves.

Please enjoy this famous Madhuri-Prabhu deva number which I identify as a hip-hop/Latin western dance….though since MD is doing is…the street dance attitude is less and it looks more like a graceful dancing…but observe other guys…they are doing pure hiphop…

Lyrical hiphop is now a days gaining more popularity. Lyrical dance means dancer tries to tell a story with the help of gestures, wordings of the song and facial expression. So Lyrical hiphop means story telling with free moves…confused?...just understand one thing…aur kuchh ho na ho  long hair and kind of “Ham hai mahan” attitude is must…here is one from Bluff Master(2005)…though dance kam hai…but attitude bahut hai boss…J
