I’ve talked about how where hip hop came from, how it relates to African American history, and why I think it will be hear in the future but what about right now. Yes, in the examples page I show recent videos of break dancing crew. But breakdancing competitions are still a sub-culture compared to other forms of art in todays society. A well recognized form of art viewed and listen by millions of people in America is pop music. The artists can usually dance and some of their moves relate to breakdancing.

You can see that the artist will be singing and then for a part of it will dance and be in sync with their back up dancer. Popping, locking, and freezing are all types of moves that relate back to breakdancing. This shows that even the really popular forms of art in America now still utilizes styles of hip hop culture and breakdancing.
