Dance is the only art of which we ourselves are the stuff of which it is made. The truest expression of a people is in its dance and in its music because bodies never lie. Dancers are instruments, like a piano the choreographer plays.
All my followers on twitter and Facebook know how much I want to dance right now. A friend threw an idea why not write a post on a thing which you love doing. “DANCE”
So here is
the list of some of the most famous dance styles performed all over the
world. I may have missed out some so please share you favorite in
comment section.
Hip Hop dancing (Popping)
Hip
hop is a dance style, usually danced to hip hop music that evolved from
the hip hop culture. Hip dance consists primarily of moves executed
close to the ground.
Belly Dancing
The
term “Belly dance” is a misnomer as every part of the body is involved
in the dance. The most featured body part being the hips. It basically
originated from Middle East. For me no one does it better than Shakira. J
Salsa
Salsa is a syncretic dance genre from Cuba. Salsa is normally a partner dance, although there are recognized solo forms.
Ballroom Dancing
Ballroom
dance refers to a set of partner dances, which are enjoyed both
socially and competitively around the world. Its performance and
entertainment aspects are also widely enjoyed on stage, film and television.
Tap dancing
Tap
dance is a form of dance characterized by a tapping sound that is
created from metal plates that are attached to both the ball and heel of
the dancer’s shoe. These metal plates, when tapped against a hard
surface, create a percussive sound and as such the dancers are
considered to be musicians.
Bhangra
Bhangra is
not a dance for me. It is something that we people of sub-continent
find life in. The compilation of gestures, colors and moves is just
simply phenomenal.
Break Dance
Break-dance incorporates
many types of moves that can vary as widely as a
breaker’s imagination and athleticism will allow. The inventory of
break-dance moves is extensive, and there are competitions throughout
the world. The best break dancer that I know was Michael Jackson.
Irish Dance
Irish
step dance is a type of performance dance originating in Ireland from
traditional Irish dance. It is usually done in groups but when
performed as a solo dance, it is generally characterized by a stiff
upper body and the quick and precise movements of the feet.
Robot dance
The robot is
an illusionary dance style often confused with popping that attempts to
imitate a dancing robot or mannequin. It was originated by Charles
Washington
Line dancing
A line
dance is choreographed dance with a repeated sequence of steps in which
a group of people dance in one or more lines or rows without regard for
the gender of the individuals, all facing the same direction, and
executing the steps at the same time.
