01 Hip-Hop Performing
The history of Hip-Hop dance ecompasses the people and events since the late 1960s that have contributed to the development of the early hip-hop dance moves, such as uprock, breaking, locking, roboting, boogaloo and popping—collectively referred to as the funk styles. All these dance styles are different stylistically. They share common ground in their street origins and in their improvisational nature.
More than 50 years old, Hip-Hop dance became widely known after the first professional street=based dance crews formed in the 1970s in the United States. Parallel with the evolution of Hip-Hop music, hop-hop social dancing emerged from breaking and the funk styles into different forms of Street Dance and Urban Dance of today.

02 K-Pop Performing
K-Pop (abbreviation of Korean pop) is a musical genre originating in South Korea that is characterised by a wide variety of audiovisual elements comprising all genres of “popular music” within South Korea. The genre emerged with one of the earliest K-Pop groups, Seo Taiji and Boys, forming in 1992. Their experimentation with different styles of music “reshaped Korea’s music scene.” As a result, the integration of foreign musical elements has now become common practice with K-Pop artists.
K-Pop entered the Japanese market at the turn of the 21st century and rapidly grew into a subculture among teenagers and young adults in East and Southeast Asia. With the advent of online social networking services, the current global spread of K-Pop and Korean entertainment known as the Korean Wave is seen in Latin America, India, North Africa, the Middle East, and elsewhere in the Western world.
