Funk styles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Funk styles or funk dance refer to dance styles that are primarily danced to funk music. More specifically they can be used for a group of street dance styles that originated in California in the 1970s, mainly locking, popping and related styles.^[1] Though many of these specific dance styles have today been incorporated into the hip hop culture to some extent, and are often seen danced to hip hop music and electronica, they were originally and are still commonly danced to funk music. One of the reasons that the term funk styles first appeared was to give these dances their own identity and avoid them being primarily associated with hip hop and hip hop dances such as breakdance. Funk dancing is very energetic and fun. ^[1]
