Kia ora! Our class has been learning Hip Hop dance for the last few weeks. This week we focused on isolations.
Isolations are when try to move just one part of your body at a time. It might be your head, or hand, or hips, or some other body part. It's a lot harder than you think! Our faces look so serious because we are so focused on our teacher, Miss Tayla, while we try to work out how to move just our ribcage.
Here we are, trying different isolations to music in this video.
Then we added our isolations to the different ways we travel. We played a game a bit like Follow the Leader where we travelled in a line doing different isolations and using different movements to travel, thinking about the floor patterns we were making too.
Phew! That's a lot to think of at once! At least we can laugh at ourselves when we get mixed up or make a mistake... and we're getting better.
Have you tried Hip Hop? What's your favourite style of dance? We'd love to hear in the comments below.
Wow Kaiwhare, those are some serious moves! I could do the running man, a dance move invented three decades ago...eek! Hip hop has certainly evolved over time. Don't stop grooving to the funky funky beat :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kaiwhare.. It is very cool to see you learning the Hip-hop dance moves. I loved attending your assmebly this week where you show-cased your new skills in front of the school. Maybe I could learn some new moves off you myself!
