Subject
Hip Hop
Introduction
Explanation
Hip Hop and break dancing originated in the African and Latin communities on the streets of New York
around the year of 1979. There are claims that Hip hop had originated in Los Angeles, but more evidence
leans towards New York. Real hip hop pros know music hits were originated during block parties in the
Bronx during the 1970s. Speakers called MCs would perform while funk and soul music played. DJ Kool
Herc was the name of one of the most popular DJs in the early 70s who mixed, scratched, and added
breaks while music played. DJs were also originally called MCs—using four-counts and basic choruses
would allow speakers to perform by allowing them to gather their thoughts. MCs would create teams—
which ended in the emersion of gangs such as Afrika Bambaataa’s Universal Zulu Nation.
Discussion
Discuss the benefits of learning and participating in the sport/activity.
Dance involves flexibility, strength, and endurance which all equate to a sense of well-being. Stretching
before and after dance helps build flexibility. And with flexibility, dancers are able to achieve a full range
of motion for all major muscle groups--the more you can flex and extend, the more moves can be added
to a dance routine. Second, strength is built through resistance against a dancer's body weight--for
example, hip hop requires dancers to hop and jump around sometimes high and sometimes low--which
require a dancer to have strong leg and abdominal muscles. Third, exercise (dance) increases endurance.
This way, muscles are able to work harder for longer periods without fatigue. Dance elevates the heart
rate which increases stamina, which generally builds endurance.
In the end, dance provides opportunities to meet people and to build friendships. Through friendships
builds motivation and self-esteem which can reduce stress and tension. Dance promotes well-being.
