Uprock
Difficulty rating = Easy Because many confuse toprock and uprock, we've taken the following explanation from http://www.dynastyrockers.com. Uprock is a soulful, competitive street dance. It was developed in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn between 1967 and 1968 by two men; Rubberband Man and Apache. Uprock is danced in synchronization to the rhythms of Soul and Funk music; and certain Rock songs. The dance consists of foot shuffles, spins, turns, freestyle movements, sudden body movements called "jerks," and hand gestures called "burns." The "Uprock" dance involves two or more dancers, single or as a team, dancing alternatively or simultaneously, performing what is called a dance battle (Breakeasy). Uprockers battle throughout the duration of a complete song (from the beginning to the end) in a line formation called the "Apache Line." © http://www.dynastyrockers.com |
