Styles Of Swing The evolution of swing dance and swing dance music has opened new doors for new dance style to be developed. One of the earlier dance styles of swing is the Savoy Swing, which is a casual-looking style of swing dance that employs a fast and jumpy action. The Lindy Hop, which is another, more popular form of swing dance style, is a much smoother dance style as compared to Savoy Swing. There are actually three different Hip Hop styles of dance that a person can do, and they are breaking, locking and popping. Breaking The Hip Hop dance style breaking , it actually has four basic forms that compose its foundation in order for you to be able to perform this particular style of dance. The four basic moves are the toprock, which are foot movements done while the dancer is standing up, downrock, which are foot movements done while the dancer is down on the floor while using his hands to support his entire weight, freezes, which are poses done by the dancer on his hands, and power moves, which are basically acrobatic moves that are fairly difficult to perform. Mambo A lot of people, especially those that are very interested in taking up ballroom dance lessons, are always looking for places wherein they can learn how to dance mambo. Though most of these people know that mambo is a form of dance style, not all of them know anything else about the dance style. It did not reach the stage like other dances that evolved and accepted in various circles in modern society. This dance routine is performed mostly in private and public social events, dance competitions, and other dance performances. The maneuver can be done solo or with a partner. Techniques Considering that Lindy Hop is part of the Swing family, many of its moves can be found in other dance styles popular today.
