Dance has always captivated me as an art form. A casual chat with a friend led to the very inspiration for the fusion dance form that I believe the younger generation will embrace or experiment in time to come.
"Wu-hop" is just an imaginary term that came up during this lively discussion on dance forms between the traditional chinese dance discipline against the catchy & expressive style of hip hop. What do "wushu" and "hip hop" have in common in the realm of dance you might think?
Both forms of sport exhibit dynamic and expressive movements, which lend themselves beautifully towards each other. A certain level of fitness is definitely required to be able to execute these challenging poses that try to assert a point or idea in a dance sequence.
In hip hop, you see gravity defying stunts in which "wushu-like" moves can be incorporated into the routine. The wushu moves will definitely add a different dimension of grace and power to the typically exaggerated moves of the expressive hip hop style.
Being the novice that I am in dance, I hope to explore both dance forms in time to come so that I may further ascertain if this new dance form/sport is ever going to take shape..should you have any comments to add or thoughts to share, I am all ears!
Hiphopfully yours
