The word "hip" had been part of the African-American vernacular English since 1904. It meant "current." It was a derivative of the word "hep"
South Bronx community leader Afrika Bambaataa first used the term “hip-hop”. In the 1970s, hip-hop music appeared. It was based on turntablism, the art of manipulating sounds to create music and the simultaneous looping of the station wagon, an upbeat drum. Later, this technique was combined with MC rap. Hip-hop dance is an art form performed primarily to hip-hop music. Hip-hop is danced in the streets. The styles that have developed in recent years are known as New School. The older ones involve break dancing and funk styles. The period between 1970 and 1985 marked the old school era of hip-hop. The period between 1985 and 1993 was believed to be the golden age of hip-hop. Some of the different forms of hip-hop dance include Harlem shake, snap dance, gangsta walking. The four historical elements of Hip-Hop are MCing, also known as rap, DJing, graffiti, an art that has derived inspiration from urban culture and break dance, which is also called b-boying.
