I. Basic information

Urban is called a work of art, which uses various dance elements and is a fusion of various dances. Because there is no name, it is collectively called the city. This kind of dance does not stick to the traditional expression of personality, but is an organic combination of dancers' pursuit of art and trend, new elements and dance.

Urban dancers do not regard physical movements as pure competitive points, but present the dance itself as works of art. Urban is not dominant in front of breaking and hip-hop, so urban is more difficult to fight.

Second, dance elements

Urban combines the strengths of hundreds of dances. Urban has the control of poppin, the power of power jazz, the footwork of house, and the rhythm of krump and lockin. Urban has developed rapidly because it combines the advantages of many dances.

Third, the performance scene

City dances are usually performed in the streets or dancing places. Performers usually wear jeans, sports shoes and other clothes, and a large number of props, such as flamethrowers, knives and baseball bats, are incorporated into the dance, which increases the visual effect and expressive force of the dance.

Reasons for the popularity of urban dance:

1, expressing personal feelings

Urban works often emphasize the expression of personal feelings and amplify the emotional thoughts of dancers. It usually involves some short stories to show the true feelings of dancers' inner world. Dancers will choose some appropriate movements and elements according to the characteristics and understanding of music and integrate them into a work.

2. Rich fusion elements

Compared with other kinds of dances, Urban often combines vision, scenes, stage lighting, props and so on. With the dance, jazz, Hiphop, folk dance, ballet and other different kinds of dances will be integrated into a dance work to present the best visual effect and sensory experience of the work.

3. Be friendly to beginners.

When beginners first come into contact with dance, their understanding of dance is very limited. Beginners don't need strong skills, but can pay more attention to some basic skills, such as basic pace, body coordination and flexibility training, and learn more about all kinds of dances, so as to better motivate themselves and develop towards their goals.
