BREAKING
Breaking, Bboying, Bgirling or Breakin' is the original Hip Hop Dance! The term "Break Dance" was used for the media, but is culturally not accepted as the correct wording, so don't call it Break Dance! Breaking started in the 80's and can be found in your modern day music videos and movies. Some key movements used are top rock, footwork, freezes, and power moves. It's athletic, funky, spectacular to watch and a key element in Hip Hop culture.
waacking
Waacking/Whacking/Punking/Posing comes from the Gay clubs of Los Angeles, which brings you the confidence, fierce and dramatic movements inspired by black & white films, super hero comics & the martial arts. The Black and Latino gay men were the first to do it as a way to express themselves freely. Fast arm movements, rolling of the wrists, posing and "Punking" are some elements used within the Dance and Culture.
house
House is a beautiful fusion between Hip Hop, Jazz, Capoeira, Tap, Salsa, and more. Coming from the Club scene in Chicago and New York, these movements have grooves, footwork and floorwork, all coming from a social context. They say "House is a Feeling", so if you're looking for the best cardio and the best feeling of freedom through dance, this is for you.
