Written by dance educator, historian, and scholar E. Moncell Durden, Beginning Hip-Hop Dance gives students the opportunity to explore hip-hop history and techniques, foundational information, and significant works and artists; to understand the styles and aesthetics of hip-hop dance as a performing art and cultural art form; and to learn about the forms of hip-hop dance, such as locking, waacking, popping and boogaloo, and house.
The text comes with a web resource that includes 55 video clips to aid in the practice of each dance technique. The web resource also offers extended learning activities and prompts for e-journaling to help students understand how the dance form relates to their overall development as a dancer; a glossary terms with and without definitions so students can check their knowledge; and chapter review quizzes to help students assess their knowledge and understanding of hip-hop dance and its history, artists, styles, and aesthetics.
As students move through the book, they will learn the BEATS method of exploring hip-hop through body, emotion, action, time, and space. This method opens up the creative and expressive qualities of the movements and helps students to appreciate hip-hop as an art form. Students will also learn how to critique a dance performance and create their own personal style of movement to music.
Book with web resources, 110 pages.
