Life is big and dramatic and traumatic, and what we who create can and should do is present our experiences and our survivals in ways that can inspire people, as well as showing them that they are not alone. I think to wait for a happy life, as if it were a destination, over a hill of lavender, scented by positive thoughts, is inane, a lost cause, but I believe fully that everyone--everyone on the planet--can find some measure of comfort and ease as they pursue their stories. Share them. --Martha Graham/Interview with James Grissom #FolliesOfGod

Hip Hop dance is primarily performed to hip hop music and has evolved as part of “hip hop culture.” Hip Hop dance styles like breaking, locking, and popping were created in the 1970s, and made popular by dance crews in the United States.  Hip Hop dance camps & the dance industry today has developed a commercial, studio-based version of hip hop dance as well as a hip hop influenced style of jazz dance called “jazz funk.
