Hip hop dancers are those persons who perform strong and energetically choreographed dances with a number of body movements. Dancing is done in upright position instead of floor rock manner. The rhythm is slow for such dances compared to the rhythm in break dances.

Hip hop dancers place a lot of importance in creating their own styles and their own body movements while dancing. They always look for new steps and movements to include in their dancing movements and styles. The dancers have a lot of creativity. But this is not the case with technical dancers. The technical dancers generally follow the movements and steps taught by dance instructors without making much use of their creativeness.

One of the top most honors for hip hop dancers is the recognition rewarded as a b-boy or b-girl. Being a b-boy or b-girl, is an acknowledgment of the dancer’s knowledge of hip hop culture and the various hip hop dance movements. This recognition helps dancers to be self sufficient and to get differentiated from other ordinary dancers. Such persons do not require a choreographer or a dance routine to perform dance.

Hip hop dancers are known by their nicknames, in most cases. These names are an ideal way to express the particular style of the dancers. Some of the nicknames are crazy legs and rubber band.

Hip hop dancers are individuals who have experience with traditional dance movements or have already acquired some kind of training in body movements. Dancers can be professionals, beginners or experienced ones. There is no need to have an instructor to become a dancer. All those who are interested, regardless of age and *** can become a hip hop dancer by self teaching and practice. But the sad part today is that most dancers do not have adequate experience in hip hop dancing.
