subject: Learn Hip Hop Moves By Dvd [print this page] Hip hop is a very hot commodity! It is very much the dance style of the moment. There are competitions and TV shows to watch. Hip Hop Dance Crews have become internationally famous celebrities filling huge venues. It is a very creative and ever developing and evolving dance style. It is a great way to meet people as it is best done in a group or a 'crew'. There are no strict rules like there are in, for example ballet. You can really express yourself and be inspired by any form of dance and incorporate the moves into your own choreography.
So you want to learn hip hop dancing? Where do you start? Many successful and famous hip hop dancers started out by watching DVDs that taught them how to dance. This is because the basic dance moves can easily be learned by DVD and the rest is up to you. There is a lot of creative 'room' in hip hop which is why it is often very easy to watch hip hop by yourself and pick it up very fast, adapting the style to suit yourself.
The DVDs usually will teach you some basic moves and the rest you can develop on your own after you have learned the basics. The DVD can also be watched in the comfort of a location of your choice this is why a lot of people prefer to start out learning by DVD because it can be done in privacy. People prefer to dance in privacy because they are often fearful of what others will think of them when they dance in public. Dancing is hard when the dancer feels uneasy so this is why for certain people it may be best to dance in the location of their choice and only with the people of their choice watching.
Be sure to keep an open mind when you are preparing to learn how to dance through a DVD. A DVD can't answer questions but it can provide you with many of the answers to the questions you need to ask. Do not be judgmental and think that you can't learn anything from the DVD or else it just might become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Keeping an open mind makes a huge difference rather than shutting yourself out mentally and expecting to not be able to learn anything through a DVD. Remember some of the greatest dancers of our age started out learning how to dance by watching DVDs.
