But what is it exactly? House dance is a social street dance that was born on the underground club dance floors of Chicago and New York in the s and s. It is a post-disco-era genre. Disco had been alive for some 10 years at that point and had fallen victim to commercialisation and, with that, racial and sexual tensions. So, the people bit back, denouncing disco and everything it represented. This paved the way for many new styles of musical and movement expression, including hip hop and house.
House Dance is an authentic style of street dance that originated in the late 70s and early 80s. This style was influenced by a number of other movement styles, including Tap, African dance, Latin dance, and martial arts. House Dance is all about freedom, improvisation, and feeling the music.
