Hip Hoppin'

Hip hop is a style of dance that uses the beats and rhythm of the music almost to the tee. There are many styles of hip hop like pop and smoothie hip hop. I, personally don't have as much experience in the style of hip hop, but I've done a few combinations and learned moves at various conventions. Hip hop is a difficult style to achieve in that it requires your body to isolate all parts. Some hip hop dancers are considered animators. They use there body and isolation a to create illusions and robotic like movements. Another type of hip hop in the crunk style. It seems to look messier in the movements compared to some styles of hip hop dancing. Here is a video example of a hip hop dance that is considered animating. It is performed by Twitch and Cyrus and it is called  robotic animation.
