Hip Hop is a very popular form of dance that is seen on music videos. It uses sharp isolated movements and its own fashion and vocabulary. Popularized in the 1980's, hip hop is based on several styles of music including R&B, house, techno, and rap. Originally, the hip-hop culture represented a motivated alternative to crime and violence and hip hop dance battles kept the kids of New York out of the drug culture and backstreet violence.
