You must have heard of popping, locking and dropping, well, that is the popular Old School dance styles, which made waves back in the early seventies. However, with changing times, people moved on to much more energetic and free dancing style, named as Hip Hop, which was regarded to be the New School counterpart. With less movements on the floor, this style became popular with habits such as c-walk, etc.

The music got evolved too, receiving a makeover by Hip Hop, and bringing in new styles like, rapping and beat boxing, all of which grew out from the famous New York City area of South Bronx. Music and dance is incomplete with the costumes, and for the New School version, loose clothing made its name, since it allowed for free movement.

Sweat pants and loose trousers made their way for dancers, since they allowed them to transfer or move around with ease. However, they weren’t too baggy, which might end up giving them a hurdle. For the upper part of the body, tight T’s and loose T’s were preferred for females and males respectively, and for a more stylish look, some people do wear hooded jackets.

However, the most attention goes to the shoes, since they are official mode of movement for all the dancers, so they need to be perfect in all ways. Shoes which allow for comfortable movement on the floor, without getting stuck to it, are the ones that almost all dancers used. And they are popular, as they don’t put a strain of the legs, when the dancers swing or jump, etc.

Being funky, Hip Hop encourage other accessories too, like bands and at times, jewelry as well. One more thing that came along with the New School era was graffiti, which is widely connected to Hip Hop, making them blend with each other quite well.
