Is it hard to learn hip hop dance?

Posted on Friday in learn hip hop dancing | by

Ok I am 14 and I am really musically ambitious. I am learning electric guitar and other instruments and now I want to learn how to dance. I like hip hop and latin dance. I can dance a little already the soulja boy, cupid shuffle, and the spongebob dance but I want to learn how to improve and stuff. rhythm is not as problem either. So will it be hard for me? I am a quick learner=]

With hip hop it's all about the footwork. If you can pair some fancy footwork with a hot dance, you can look super. Try just making your feet move very quickly. You say you like latin dance. Do the cha cha a lot to help with foot coordination. Try watching hip hop videos to see some of the things professionals do. Don't copy the moves exactly though. Put your own twist on them to show how creative you are. Dance in your living room or in front of your mirror so you can see how you look. Practice, practice, PRACTICE. If you don't the skills you have go to waste.

    Try taking a class. You will learn a lot and they will usually teach you how to count while you dance so you can keep the rhythm.

    I'm almost sixteen and I just started taking hip hop classes. Just keep working and believe in yourself, and you can do it.

    I'm a quick learner too, but dancing in general is difficult to learn, especially hip hop because of the footwork and the moves are not as simple as ballet. It'll get easier if you keep practicing.

    Hey, I'm 13 turning 14 tomorrow =D. No, hip hop dancing isn't that hard ESPESSIALLY if you're a quick learner and you have rhythm. Hip hop dancing though in a dancing school is a little different then the soulja boy and all that stuff lol. It's more choergraphed but it's alot of fun =]. I say you should go for it
