The Body Roll
Street Style Hip Hop- Dance Lesson
This hip hop dance move is taught by Caroline from So You Think You Can Dance Canada. She takes time out to teach the girls a hip hop move called the body roll.
Dancers who do hip hop dancing feel a sense of freedom. Anyone at any age can learn how to do hip hop. Hip hop dancing is not as technical as ballet, jazz or tap. In fact, hip hop doesn’t have specific names for each type of step as does ballet dancing, jazz dancing or tap dancing. On the other hand, hip hop dancing can be a bit challenging because of the different body movements.
The body roll can be done facing forward, as in this video, or to the side. It is a fun move to do and looks really cool. Once you have learned the basics, practice in front of the mirror until it looks just right.
