Aspiring hip hop dancers may become rather discouraged when they are not able to remember a routine. Here are 3 tips you can use to proficiently kick-start your learning journey in mastering complicated dance moves and get better at it as you go.
Hip hop dancing newbies may become rather disappointed when they are not able to catch up in a hip hop choreography in hip hop dance classes. In this lens, I will be sharing with you 3 suggestions you can use to successfully kick-start your hip hop dancing voyage in mastering complicated moves and get better at it as you go.
Before that, let's have a small discussion. Do you agree that the key to mastering hip hop dance moves quickly and easily is to get the essential concepts right first? Once you have acquired the fundamental concepts of basic hip hop moves efficiently, you find that you will get on to a new choreography much quicker and thus accelerating your learning of a new choreography.
In such a case, you might even be at a point to appreciate the choreography beyond just trying to figure out what's the next step in the routine. That is why those who persevered and got over the starter levels of learning hip hop turn out very well as hip hop dancers.
When you first watched a hip hop dance recital or a professional dancer, the dance may seem rather complicated because hip hop often contains high-speed and many combinations of various moves. As such, it can actually be quite frustrating for some who cannot catch up in the choreography. This is esppecially so for newbies who just begin hip hop dance classes - they may even give up their dance dreams because it is just too difficult.
However, there are techniques you can use to efficiently comprehend complicated moves and get better at hip hop dancing as you go. What's more, you might even find out that the dance itself can be included into your daily exercise routine to help you keep fit, replacing other fitness routines such as jogging or going to a gym.
Before I go into the 3 tips to mastering complex hip hop dance moves, what is hip hop dance? Hip hop has its origins going back all the way since the 70s, and it is mainly liked by the adolescents. However, you might be amazed that all other age categories, regardless of how old or how younger, also use it as a way to work out and keep fit.
Without further ado, here are 3 techniques on how to get started:
Tip 1: Imitate Hip Hop Expert Performers
Switch on your TV, get the best songs and hip hop choreography from MTV or VH1. Look at the entertainers execute their groove and try to replicate them.
Tip 2: Move to the Groove
It's so essential to get and be on beat in a particular song. You can practice doing that by paying unique interest to the beat of the bass sounds whenever you are listening to any song. Recognize the driving beat (usually the drum beats) of the music and begin to feel it through your body by grooving to it. For example, you can tap to the beat, clap or even dance to the beat etc. The key is to ignore any other disruptions from other equipment in the song and concentrate on finding the beat. After enjoying many songs, you are likely to be able to find it.
Tip 3: Focus
Even if you have gone for hip hop dance classes before or you have tried it yourself, the key to learning new choreography is to forget whatever you have learned and concentrate. Dance is always evolving and changing hence you have to 'empty' your thoughts of what you think you already know and just concentrate on the existing choreography like you are a complete newbie.
Of course, there are other factors and strategies to consider when learning hip hop but I hope these 3 guidelines will be able to help you get started on your voyage to mastering complicated hip hop dance moves. Have a lot of fun and appreciate the experience!
