Hip hop dancers are those people who perform strong and energetic choreographed dances with a series of body movements. The dance is performed upright rather than on the ground. The pace is slow for such dances compared to the pace of break dances.

Hip hop dancers place a lot of importance on creating their own styles and their own body movements while dancing. They are always looking for new steps and moves to include in their dance moves and styles. The dancers have a lot of creativity. But this is not the case for technical dancers. Technical dancers generally follow the moves and steps taught by dance instructors without much use of their creativity.

One of the top honors for hip hop dancers is recognition as a b-boy or b-girl. Being a b-boy or b-girl is an acknowledgment of a dancer’s knowledge of hip hop culture and the various hip hop dance moves. This recognition helps dancers become self-sufficient and differentiate themselves from other ordinary dancers. Such people do not require a choreographer or a dance routine to perform the dance.

Hip hop dancers are known by their nicknames, in most cases. These names are an ideal way to express the particular style of the dancers. Some of the nicknames are crazy legs and rubber band.

Hip hop dancers are people who have experience with traditional dance movements or have already acquired some training in body movements. Dancers can be professionals, beginners or experienced. It is not necessary to have an instructor to become a dancer. All those who are interested, regardless of age and gender, can become a hip hop dancer in a self-taught and practical way. But the sad part today is that most of the dancers do not have the proper experience in hip hop dance.
