Street dance
House - Born in Chicago, it began to become popular in clubs in New York in the beginning of the 80s. It was first influenced by dances like jacking and lofting. Later, steps from various genres like hip hop were mixed into it. Lastly, the style was completed with a hopping feel to the moves, making the dance highly energetic and expressive as house music became more upbeat. Basic steps of house include the sidewalk, happy feet, scribble feet, and skating. One popular form of house dance is 'waacking'. Waacking (or punking) is known to be first danced by mainly just gays, and was officially introduced to the mainstream by Tyrone Proctorm. From the 1980s, it began to mix with other genres, and now it is often mixed in with girl’s hip-hop and tecktonik.
