Dance is about creativity, style, movement and freedom of expression. Hip hop is no exception. Driven by the music's beat, hip hop freestyle combines and plays off of existing dance steps to help you imagine and perform new ones.- Step 1 Wear the proper clothing, shoes and accessories that allows you to move freely and comfortably and broadcast your personal style.
Step 2 Take a class or attend a workshop taught by an experienced hip hop dancer or choreographer. Once you learn basic steps and techniques, you'll be more at ease as you freestyle.- Step 3 Practice at home to develop your ability to think up moves on the fly and avoid being anxious about dancing in public.
- Step 4 Listen to different songs and hip hop artists and let the music inspire you to move. Let your self-consciousness go so you're completely free to interpret the beat and do what you feel.
- Step 5 Develop your own moves. Base them on existing steps or create completely original stances, poses and combinations. Give each new idea a creative name in case it catches on with the public.
- Step 6 Choreograph the high points of a routine if you'll be dancing at an exhibition or competition. Use the planned moves as a framework, then freestyle the moments in between. If you need to fall back on well-known moves, combine them in unusual ways for a fresh look.
- Step 7 Dance with friends to play off each other. Mirror moves or use their steps as jumping off points or inspiration to create a few of your own.
