 * DANCE AND HIP-HOP**

I want to do a video showing hip-hop dances and the effect it has on many kids around the world. A lot of people do these dances for fun at parties and whatnot. But,for many kids, dance saves their lives. For example, kids who dance on the streets or in the studio are less likely to join gangs or do drugs. Some kids have to dance in the subway or on the streets to get enough money to help their family put food on the table. I want to show people I know dancing and then videos and pictures of street dancers.

(What I’m saying while my drawings are showing) We all dance. Some people dance at parties for fun, while others do it professionally. There are a lot of songs out now that have dances to go with the song, like Aunt Jackie or Crank Dat Soulja Boy. You are about to see people you all know having fun with it. So, enjoy!!

Well, now that you’ve seen let’s take a look at street dancers in action. A main type of dancing sweeping the nation now is krumping. Krumping is an aggressive and powerful style of dancing that started in Southern LA. It has gone from a style of dancing to a society. In krumping, there are "fams" or crews. All the dancers in the crew are organized under a lead dancer or the Big Homie. There are different styles of krumping such as Tricks and Flashy. Tricks is using a combo of different moves and tricks. Flashy is using lots of quick foot movements and showy moves.

These are pictures and stills of different dancers from the 2005 dance movie, RIZE, directed by David LaChapelle.

Some kids have to dance to stay alive. I know a lot of you have been on the subway and seen a group of kids dancing to "put some money in their pocket". These kids have no other choice but to do so. Kids who dance on the streets or in the studio love dancing and don't need to join gangs or do drugs to feel like they are apart of something.

 * Comments:**

I think it is a good topic because most people don't think about it, but dancing is a very important thing. It seems like it is going to be kind of short, and i don't know what drawings you could do. Most of the video would be people dancing and i think Ms. Benz wants more pictures than video, or at least as much. You could try to draw your own pictures of people dancing in Illustrator or Photoshop pictures. It is a good topic, but it seems a little short.
