Popular Dance

Dancing is a very popular activity for all people, young and old, men and women. For social interaction activity, for sport, for performance. Now we can see people dance everywhere, we can see people dance in the street, we can see people dance in the parks or some open spaces in the morning or in the evening. Dancing is good for health excercise. It is not only make your whole body in movement and is also make your mind release along the dancing, because normally when you dance you will listen to music and follow the rhythmic of music and perform the dance.

Street dance is famous today. Some of the most famous street dance styles of today, such as breakdance, popping and locking, began appearing around the 1970s; hip hop new style and house dance around the 1980s in New York and Los Angeles; and electro dance around 2000 in France. Though some of these styles originally evolved separately, most of them are today associated with the hip hop scene, as they share many street dance elements.

More recently, new street dance styles are emerging that are further inspired by hip hop and its music. Krumping, with its focus on highly energetic battles and movements, is an example of such a style that just recently became publicly known. It's also common to see some characteristics of street dance being mixed with other more traditional dance forms, creating styles such as lyrical hip hop, a fluid more interpretive version of hip hop dance, and street jazz, a hybrid of modern hip hop styles and jazz dance. Such styles are generally focused more on choreography and performance and less on improvisation and battles, and are not always considered pure street dances, though a popular alternative to the more traditional and classical styles of studio dancing.

In Jamaica, Dancehall music, which is the contemporary version to Reggae, has spawned its own street dances. The movement has gathered momentum within the last five years where every day a new dance is being tested on the streets.[citation needed]

A new dance move becoming increasingly popular in the western United States and especially in Utah is called the "Luke Salisbury." To perform this move, you need a a subject who is held by each of four limbs (two arms, two legs) by four trusted people. The four people then launch the subject into the air and catch his fall to keep things safe and fun. The "Luke Salisbury" is most effective when Luke Salisbury is the subject.
