Hip Hop Dancing
Hip hop dancing is an urban ethnic dance form that has gained popularity in recent days. It is more common than the break dance of modern days. Hip hop dancing marked its beginning as part of the hip hop culture in the early 1900's, when the youth in and around Bronx, New York started dancing on the streets.

R&B Hip Hop
Hip-hop has had a significant influence on several genres of music. R&B, in particular, was the most influenced as to necessitate a subgenre. The key difference was that the subgenre was coarse and contained less of an R&B influence.

Pop and R&B singers, including Mariah Carey and Destiny's Child, appropriated hip-hop in order to relate to younger, urban audiences, thus creating a subgenre coined ""hip-hop Soul"". This genre features hip-hop backbeats, superimposed with vocals that were sung in the style of soul music; the lyrics, however, integrated street lingo and adult themes.

R&B Hip Hop
Impudence characterizes the styling of hip-hop soul. These hitherto conventional singers sported tattoos, wore leather, and wore a defiant look in the vein of hip-hop artists. Pop singers, who were reluctant to change their images, began collaborating with a rapper to remix one of their tracks, and incorporated the remix in their albums. These remixes were pegged as singles, and allowed the singers to retain their signature styles.
R&B Hip Hop
These remixed tracks soon became all the rage, and hip-hop soul crossed racial divides, earning its artists mainstream recognition. Veteran R&B artists also generated interest among young, contemporary audiences through their association with hip-hop. Patti LaBelle has performed with Outkast; Chaka Khan granted permission to Kanye West to re-mix her tracks. By joining forces with hip-hop artists, R&B singers thus reached out to a new age group.
Hip-hop soul is considered more mature than contemporary R&B, and targets an adult audience. This is primarily due to the genre's focus on the seamier aspects of life; hip-hop soul singers also use adult language and themes, which has drawn censure from people who feel the genre of music, similar to hip-hop, glorifies negative stereotypes.
Although hip-hop soul witnessed a dull period with the emergence of Neo Soul, another R&B subgenre in the late 90s, it is now experiencing a surge in popularity due to singers like Jaheim, Amerie, Keyshia Cole, and Anthony Hamilton.

Hip hop dancing is an ideal way to express one's creativeness. It features self impressions and the dances come from the soul. The dancing represents body movements that go with the beat and rhythm of hip hop music. There is breaking, popping, locking, and free styling in hip hop dances. The jumps, breakages, and rotations in the movements are combined in such a way that the dance style becomes an informal and explosive one.

Hip hop dancing is considered a good exercise for those persons who perform these dances. It helps the dancers to improve flexibility, to develop body balance, and to coordinate the muscles. This dance allows the dancers to improve their own style and to remain in good body shape. It also leads the dancers to a state of spiritual wholeness.
Hip Hop Dancing
Hip hop dancing includes many steps and movements that are not present in ballet and ballroom dancing. The jazz, ballet, and other traditional dance forms are technical and require more formal training. There is a term for each and every movement in jazz and ballets. But this is not the case with hip hop dancing and the dancers experience freedom while dancing. The only thing the dancers should have is to become familiar with the dancing technique.
Hip hop dancing can be learned by all those who are interested in dancing. There is no age limitation or restriction for learners and dancers. It is also not necessary that the instructor should be a professional dancer. However, this kind of dance is slightly difficult to learn because of the various body movements.

Hip hop clothes have been firstly worn by big hip hop stars like Run-DMC and LL Cool J in the 1980s. They were wearing big glasses, many rings, sneakers with 'phat' shoelaces. Big, gold necklaces and jewellery were also worn by other hip hop stars like Big Daddy Kane or Kurtis Blow. The haircut was another symbol of the hip hop trend: some singers were having Jheri curls; others had hi-top fade. But the Black Pride movement was the most powerful trend of the hip hop culture in the '80s. It was symbolized by dreadlocks, Africa chains and black-green-and-red hip hop clothes.

A Brief History of Hip Hop Fashion
In the 1990s the hip hop music changed, therefore the hip hop clothes suffered some changes too. Some singers (The Fresh Prince or Left Eye of TLC) were wearing bright coloured clothes and baseball caps. Other hip hop clothes were inspired from the dress code of street gangs and even prison uniforms. The prison inmates' 'fashion' of not using a belt (the belt always being confiscated by the wardens whenever a new prisoner was brought in) has inspired the wearing of baggy pants with no belt. Some regions of the USA have contributed with some special symbols to the hip hop fashion. New York preferred hooded clothes and Timberland boots while the West Coast liked big flannel shirts and Converse sneakers. The South brought in gold teeth fashion.

The mid-90s brought in another trend, the mafioso fashion, represented by hats and alligator skin shoes worn mostly by hip hop stars like Jay-Z or the Notorious B.I.G.
The new rising stars at the end of the 1990s - Sean 'Puffy' Combs came with new symbols as shiny, flashy suits and platinum jewellery to replace the gold one. Combs saw the business opportunity of selling hip hop clothes; therefore he started his own clothing line. Other clothing companies as FUBU or Karl Kani earned millions of dollars from selling hip hop clothes.
But the hip hop fashion started to become distinctive for female singers. Lil Kim and Foxy Brown were famous for their shiny, couture appearances while other singers like Lauryn Hill or Eve were known for a more low-profile clothing style.
But jewellery remained the most distinctive symbol of the hip hop fashion. Hip hop singers wore platinum necklaces or rings with big embedded diamonds. Some of them even had platinum teeth.
Nowadays, hip hop clothes have turned into extremely famous clothing labels. Many hip hop singers have their own clothing lines like Jay-Z's Roc-a-wear or Russell Simmons' Phat Farm.
The hip hop clothes have changed from the street style to the more glamorous style of the stars.
