What is rock dance?
Rockdance is one of the first street dance styles that emerged in New York. This style was a response to gang culture and the difficult social and political conditions in the city. Instead of using violence on the streets, young people used dance as a way to resolve conflicts. They did this without physical contact, “hitting” each other through dance. Unlike other dance styles, where you often dance one at a time, in Rockdance you dance simultaneously with your opponent. In many dance battles, you have thirty to sixty seconds each turn, whereas in Rockdance, you dance the entire song together.
Rockdance is influenced by various dance styles from the 1960s, such as Salsa, Mambo, Hustle, Lofting, Disco, and Party Dances. The style consists of four main elements: Freestyle, Jerks, Burns, and Music.
