Question

how are hip hop and dance related?​

Answer 1

Hip-hop dance began during the late 1960's and early 1970's, originally inspired by the movements of African dancing, and flourished as a new style of dance performed on the street for the people. Hip-hop incorporates aspects of modern dance, tap, and swing, integrating music and complex movements to form artistry.

More than 50 years old, hip-hop dance became widely known after the first professional street-based dance crews formed in the 1970s in the United States. Parallel with the evolution of hip-hop music, hip-hop social dancing emerged from breaking and the funk styles into different forms.
