House Dance

HOUSE DANCE is a club dance that is above all festive and unifying like music. Still underground, HOUSE DANCE is experiencing a sudden evolution with a public passionate about HIP HOP dance. From now on, it is practiced in clubs as well as in classes and even in major competitions (battles or choreographic competitions)... it also requires creativity, spontaneity and engages the challenge of oneself just like HIP HOP dance. But HOUSE DANCE is above all: music, HOUSE Music. This music which gives its particular attraction, that of being festive and convivial, intended to bring people together towards a feeling of pleasure and self-forgetfulness and thus provoke "the pleasure of dancing in its pure state"... Now the HOUSE DANCE is a dance with very distinct movements or steps. While it is now similar to the HIP HOP NEW-SCHOOL dance, this dance takes its impetus in the clubs of HOUSE MUSIC. A musical culture different from hip hop although we can find the same influences (SOUL, DISCO and FUNK). This MUSIC was born in Chicago in the 80s, while DANCE, it took off in New York in the 90s. What tends to bring HOUSE DANCE closer to HIP HOP is due to HIP HOP NEW-SCHOOL dancers who have given a strong impetus to this style of dance. HOUSE DANCE has broad influences because it is danced in NEW YORK clubs, a city with cosmopolitan origins where everyone is there and where everyone brings their share of cultural claim and development. Historical dances to the most recent give styles and movements or steps that will be considered over time as common bases for all those who practice it.

Popping

Popping is a dance born in the late 60s that developed in the late 70s and early 80s until today. Danced, in these beginnings, by dancers familiar with the Black Panters party "the black resurgents", a group still existing, from Oakland, California. The Popping, Animation, Boogaloo, and Funkstyles very quickly had a big social and cultural success and seized all of the west coast of the United States at first, then traveled to America, Europe, Asia, and other continents. Basically, these social dances were born from the Afro-Latino cultures and communities of the West Coast of the United States. In the late 70s and early 80s the Electric Boogaloo's definitely democratized this dance worldwide, with the help of Michael Jackson who popularized it in music videos such as Thriller, his concerts, or even at Disneyland in Captain Neo . For years, popping from FUNK music (hence the name Funk styles for Popping and Locking) has been danced and crossed the years by adapting to the different musical currents from Funk. Acoustic funk, PFunk, Gfunk, ElectroFunk and hipHop Funk. From the 1960s to 2022, Popping has only evolved. At the physiological level, it is a dance that combines muscle contraction and relaxation. "waves" (waves), "glides" (skating or sliding effects), "Tutting" (egyptian dance), "roboting", "Boogalooing"... Etc etc.

Locking

Locking is a dance style that originated in the Afro-American culture in the early 70s. It was developed in Los Angeles, on the western side of the United States.

Its creator Don Campbell is the first protagonist, and followed many people such as Mr puinguin, shabadoo, toni basil, tony gogo, Damita joe and many others .... Locking was inspired by club dances and acrobatic movements. The drunken steps and locking movements will be very quickly popularized thanks to the Soûl Train show. A lot of club moves were all the rage at that time like the jerk, the twist, the swim, the funky chicken, break down.... Through these movements, Don Campbell creates his very atypical style by stopping the movements, which will give birth to the locking. Many other dancers practice campbelllocking and contribute to the development of this dance. They bring other steps which will become universal bases. The locking is as much a ds of solo said freestyle (improvisation) as of group, That one can find through the group the lockers.
