• Causes of hip-hop dance injuries:
• No or not enough warm-up or stretching and cooldown time allotted
• Imbalance between the load placed on the body and its capacity
• Misalignment of the body during movement
• Weak technique and excessive joint angles during movement
• Repetitive movements and impact loads done successively without taking a break
• Trauma caused by missteps, hard landings, and falls when spinning and sliding
• Lack of training and muscle strength or too much training
• Insufficient number of protective equipment for knees, elbows, wrists, back, and neck
• Returning to dance too soon following an injury
• Thorough warm-up is essential before dancing to prevent injuries
• Perform stretches for the spine, legs, thighs, calves, ankles, feet, arms, shoulders, neck, and wrists
• Dancers have a greater risk of injury when muscles are cold and tense
• Attending a class to correct hip-hop dance techniques is recommended
• Recording the actual dancing can help identify and correct any bad dance techniques
• Dancing on hard streets, sidewalks, and tile floors can make it hard for the body and joints to absorb the impact of some moves
• If dancing on hard surfaces, use a mat or cushion
• Wear the right and comfortable shoes for the performance
• Take time to adequately stretch the muscles after performing to slow down the heart rate
• Dance on the right surface to prevent injuries
• Wearing protective gear like knee and elbow pads is advised for floor movements
• Cooldown safely after dancing
• Breaking or B-boying


  This was created in the Bronx in the early 1970s and was considered as the first hip-hop dance style.
• Locking


  This was originally called campbellocking and was created in Los Angeles in 1969. Locking looks similar to popping, however, dancers in locking hold their positions longer. A dancer cannot perform both locking and popping simultaneously. Lock is the primary move used and is similar to a "freeze" or a "sudden pause." A locker's dancing is characterized by frequently locking in place and after a brief freeze, moving again.
• Popping:

  • Created in Fresno, California in the 1970s
  • Significant technique involves quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to cause a jerk in a dancer's body, referred to as a pop or a hit
  • Each hit is synchronized to the rhythm and beat of the music
• Popping is an umbrella term for closely related illusionary dance styles such as "strobin" or "ticking"

  • Associated with staccato, jerky movements, or fluid-like body movements like water, animation, twisto-flex, and waving
• Popping includes floating, gliding, and sliding, making a dancer appear as if drifting across the floor
• Tutting:

  • An upper body dance that uses arms, hands, and wrists to form right angles and create geometric box-like shapes
• Memphis Jookin'


  This was created in the 1980s in Memphis, Tennessee and was characterized by dancers as gliding footwork, popping and waving, and using the tips of their sneakers to balance on point. The most fundamental point to jookin' is gliding on tiptoes. The sensational feature is the extensive use of pointwork on tiptoe where dancers do not only rise on point but also hop, turn, run, and balance on point.
• Turfing


  Turfing, the acronym for "Taking Up Room on the Floor," was created by Jeriel Bey in 2002 in Oakland, California. This is a fusion of miming and gliding that places heavy emphasis on storytelling and illusion.
• Jerkin


  The jerkin' dance style was created in Los Angeles, popularized in 2009 by the New Boyz rap song "You're a Jerk." Dancers typically style their hair in mohawk and often wear bright-colored clothing, skinny jeans, and Vans sneakers.
• Krumping

  This style was created by Cesare Willis and Jo Artis Ratti in the early 2000s in South Central, Los Angeles. Krumping gained mainstream exposure after being featured in several music videos. This style focuses on highly energetic battles and movements that are described as intense, fast-paced, and sharp. Journalist Taisha Paggett from Dance Magazine stated that, "If movement were words, [krumping] would be a poetry slam."
