Title: | Hip-hop: street dance Lexicon in Singapore |
Synopsis: | This paper specifically sheds light on the hip-hop dance or street dance on scene in Singapore in the heart of Southeast Asia - a relatively new area of schorlarly observation among hip-hop historians, academics and enthusiasts. Hip-hop, is a subculture turned global phenomenon originating among African-American and Hispanic youth of America's inner cities in the 1970's, has been gradually embraced by the youth of Singapore since 1980's. Most hip-hop dance terminology is attributed to the Original Gangsters (OGs), hip-hop founders in the United States. However, while hip-hop dancers in Singapore mainly stick to the fundamental Lexicon, some new terms found in use suggest the developmental of a distinct local flavor not recognised outside local dancers private spheres. |
