Children who are considered at risk have the highest rates of obesity within this population. In addition to decreased levels of physical activity, at risk youth have shown difficulty in adjustment in terms of confidence, self-esteem, autonomy, and the ability to cope (Etzion & Romi, 2015). The characteristics described can result in at risk youth experiencing difficulty in functioning within their age-specific educational and social settings. Numerous v studies have reported the benefits of incorporating physical activity into school settings however, there are few studies that report the benefits of a school-based dance program to high-risk youth. Culturally relevant programs that promote self- efficacy in students have the potential to not only maintain physical activity, but improve the at risk characteristics previously mentioned (Jago, Edwards, Sebire, Cooper, Powell, Bird, Simon, Blair, 2013). This curriculum focuses on integrating the National Core Arts Standards and California Visual and Performing Arts Content Standards into a hip-hop dance class for middle school, at risk youth. The 20 lessons and accompanying video contained in this curriculum provide students with an introduction to hip-hop dance so that they will be challenged to be critical thinkers, team builders, and creative artists. There is also potential for improvement in physical fitness upon completion of the course. It is recommended that the curriculum be applied to research by implementing a pilot after-school dance program. To test the efficacy of the curriculum, areas of measurement can include: self-efficacy, physical activity levels, academic performance, and NCAS based assessments. Keywords: hip-hop, dance, at risk, curriculum, National Core Arts Standards, California Visual and Performing Arts Content Standard vi Chapter 1: Introduction Children who engage in recommended amounts of physical activity are at a decreased risk of health-related problems such as obesity, hypertension, respiratory problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, and insulin resistance (Beets, Beighle, Erwin, & Huberty, 2009; Trost, Rosenkranz, & Dzewaltowski, 2008). Despite the benefits of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in school-aged children, a large percentage of youth in the United States do not meet recommended guidelines in physical activity. Minority students are among the highest population showing a decline in physical activity and rising health-related problems. This population is also considered high-risk. High- risk youth can be defined as students who qualify for free or reduced-cost meals during school or whose annual income falls below the federal poverty level determined by the Department of Health Care Services. In particular, African-American and Hispanic youth fall behind the rest of the country in meeting suggested levels of daily physical activity (Robinson, Kraemer, Matheson, Obarzanek, Wilson, Haskell, ... & Varady, 2008; Sharma, 2008). High inactivity levels also result in limited opportunities for physical activity when those of lower socio-economic status are exposed to unsafe and undesirable environments (Beets et al., 2009; Witt & Baker, 1997). In addition to neighborhoods not being conducive for physical activity, the quest for school districts to meet the rising demands of academic achievement through standardized testing has significantly impacted attention to quality physical education in many schools (Ahamed, MacDonald, Reed, Naylor, Liu- 1 Ambrose, & McKay, 2007; Beets et al., 2009). The rise of after-school physical activity programs provides an opportunity for high-risk students to access school facilities in a safe environment and achieve recommended levels of physical activity without compromising academics (Beets et al., 2009). Physical activity in the form of sports, fitness, and dance are characteristic of many after-school programs. In creating after-school programs for high-risk and middle school youth, programs that focus solely on physical activity are not enough to change physical activity behavior in students (Huang, Gao, Hannon, Schultz, Newton, & Jenson, 2012). On the contrary programs need to be developed to address what motivates high-risk children to engage in physical activity. The implementation of hip-hop in curriculum has shown to captivate youth due to its predominance of minorities and relevancy in youth culture (Abe, 2009; Robinson et al., 2008; Taylor & Taylor, 2004). In 2009 over 300 courses on hip-hop alone were taught in United States classrooms (Hall, 2009). In addition to developing a program geared to the population served, it is imperative that studies are founded upon theory-based curriculum especially as it refers to student motivation. The use of a theoretical framework to support the physical activities provided in after-school programs identifies determinants of physical activity (Motl, 2007). The efficacy of a program geared towards the population it serves while employing a theory-based model can only be determined through some sort of assessment tool. The National Core Arts Standard (NCAS) in dance, developed by the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards, has been widely accepted as a 2 resource in achieving dance literacy across the nation and within states (California Department of Education, 2015; NDEO, n.d). NCAS are a set of standards composed of four artistic processes (creating, performing, responding, and connecting) that enable the student to become literate in dance education. California Common Core Standards were developed to promote the highest achievement of students, by defining the knowledge, concepts, and skills that students should attain at each grade level (California Department of Education, 2016). After-school programs have proven to be successful in reducing at risk behavior in disadvantaged youth (Witt & Baker, 1997). Improvements in physical fitness, academics, and social development have been found (Beets, Beighle, Erwin, & Huberty, 2009) as well. Though research has shown the positive effects of integrating National Core Dance Standards and Common Core Standards into K-12 dance curriculum, very little research has been done on its implementation in after-school programs, and even less on hip-hop based curriculum. This project, therefore, will include the design of a hip-hop curriculum to be implemented by educators in after-school programs for middle school, disadvantaged youth. By completing the contents of this course children will be able to demonstrate the artistic processes of creating, performing, responding, and connecting as outlined in the National Core Arts Dance Standards and will integrate historical hip-hop content that continues to be prevalent in youth culture. Students will also have the opportunity to improve physical fitness through moderate-to-vigorous warm-ups and physical education lectures. 3 Hip-hop dance is defined as an urban dance form that includes popular styles such as popping, locking, breaking, house, grooves, and freestyle. National Core Arts Dance Standards will be defined as a set of standards composed of four artistic processes (creating, performing, responding, and connecting) that enable the student to become literate in dance education. (NDEO, n.d). The California Visual Performing Art Content Standards will be defined as a set of standards for K-8th including: artistic perception, creative expression, historical and cultural context, aesthetic valuing, and connections, relationships and application (California Department of Education, 2015The course will be geared toward middle school, entry-level dancers, however content can be modified for those with prior dance experience. The significance of this curriculum is in its appeal to enhance current physical activity programs that lack quality curriculum needed for 21st century youth while equipping students with the skills needed to be high achievers despite the statistics associated with at-risk youth. The curriculum will be composed of 20 lesson plans

  • Types of Dance Styles
    Types of Dance Styles International Standard Ballroom Dances Ballroom Dance: Ballroom dancing is one of the most entertaining and elite styles of dancing. In the earlier days, ballroom dancewas only for the privileged class of people, the socialites if you must. This style of dancing with a partner, originated in Germany, but is now a popular act followed in varied dance styles. Today, the popularity of ballroom dance is evident, given the innumerable shows and competitions worldwide that revere dance, in all its form. This dance includes many other styles sub-categorized under this. There are many dance techniques that have been developed especially in America. The International Standard recognizes around 10 styles that belong to the category of ballroom dancing, whereas the American style has few forms that are different from those included under the International Standard. Tango: It definitely does take two to tango and this dance also belongs to the American Style category. Like all ballroom dancers, the male has to lead the female partner. The choreography of this dance is what sets it apart from other styles, varying between the International Standard, and that which is American. Waltz: The waltz is danced to melodic, slow music and is an equally beautiful dance form. The waltz is a graceful form of dance, that requires fluidity and delicate movement. When danced by the International Standard norms, this dance is performed more closely towards each other as compared to the American Style. Foxtrot: Foxtrot, as a dance style, gives a dancer flexibility to combine slow and fast dance steps together.

I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to my committee members: Andy Bennett, Hans A. Skott-Myhre, Nick Baxter-Moore and Will Straw. These scholars have shaped my ideas about this project in crucial ways. I am indebted to Michael Zryd and Francois Lukawecki for their unwavering kindness, encouragement and wisdom over many years. Steve Russell patiently began to teach me basic rules ofgrammar. Barry Grant and Eric Liu provided comments about earlier chapter drafts. Simon Frith, Raquel Rivera, Anthony Kwame Harrison, Kwande Kefentse and John Hunting offered influential suggestions and encouragement in correspondence. Mike Ripmeester, Sarah Matheson, Jeannette Sloniowski, Scott Henderson, Jim Leach, Christie Milliken, David Butz and Dale Bradley also contributed helpful insights in either lectures or conversations. AJ Fashbaugh supplied the soul food and music that kept my body and mind nourished last year. If AJ brought the knowledge then Matt Masters brought the truth. (What a powerful triangle, indeed!) I was exceptionally fortunate to have such noteworthy fellow graduate students. Cole Lewis (my summer writing partner who kept me accountable), Zorianna Zurba, Jana Tomcko, Nylda Gallardo-Lopez, Seth Mulvey and Pauline Fogarty each lent an ear on numerous much needed occasions as I worked through my ideas out loud.

  • The Miseducation of Hip-Hop Dance: Authenticity, and the Commodification of Cultural Identities
    The Miseducation of Hip-Hop dance: Authenticity, and the commodification of cultural identities. E. Moncell Durden., Assistant Professor of Practice University of Southern California Glorya Kaufman School of Dance Introduction Hip-hop dance has become one of the most popular forms of dance expression in the world. The explosion of hip-hop movement and culture in the 1980s provided unprecedented opportunities to inner-city youth to gain a different access to the “American” dream; some companies saw the value in using this new art form to market their products for commercial and consumer growth. This explosion also aided in an early downfall of hip-hop’s first dance form, breaking. The form would rise again a decade later with a vengeance, bringing older breakers out of retirement and pushing new generations to develop the technical acuity to extraordinary levels of artistic corporeal genius. We will begin with hip-hop’s arduous beginnings. Born and raised on the sidewalks and playgrounds of New York’s asphalt jungle, this youthful energy that became known as hip-hop emerged from aspects of cultural expressions that survived political abandonment, economic struggles, environmental turmoil and gang activity. These living conditions can be attributed to high unemployment, exceptionally organized drug distribution, corrupt police departments, a failed fire department response system, and Robert Moses’ building of the Cross-Bronx Expressway, which caused middle and upper-class residents to migrate North. The South Bronx lost 600,000 jobs and displaced more than 5,000 families. Between 1973 and 1977, and more than 30,000 fires were set in the South Bronx, which gave rise to the phrase “The Bronx is Burning.” This marginalized the black and Latino communities and left the youth feeling unrepresented, and hip-hop gave restless inner-city kids a voice.

  • Garage House Music Whats up with That
    Garage House Music whats up with that Future funk is a sample-based advancement of Nu-disco which formed out of the Vaporwave scene and genre in the early 2010s. It tends to be more energetic than vaporwave, including elements of French Home, Synth Funk, and making use of Vaporwave modifying techniques. A style coming from the mid- 2010s, often explained as a blend of UK garage and deep home with other elements and strategies from EDM, popularized in late 2014 into 2015, typically mixes deep/metallic/sax hooks with heavy drops somewhat like the ones discovered in future garage. One of the very first house categories with origins embeded in New York and New Jersey. It was named after the Paradise Garage bar in New york city that operated from 1977 to 1987 under the prominent resident DJ Larry Levan. Garage house established along with Chicago home and the outcome was home music sharing its resemblances, affecting each other. One contrast from Chicago house was that the vocals in garage house drew stronger impacts from gospel. Noteworthy examples consist of Adeva and Tony Humphries. Kristine W is an example of a musician involved with garage house outside the genre's origin of birth. Also understood as G-house, it includes very little 808 and 909 drum machine-driven tracks and often sexually explicit lyrics. See likewise: ghettotech, juke house, footwork. It integrates components of Chicago's ghetto house with electro, Detroit techno, Miami bass and UK garage. It includes four-on-the-floor rhythms and is normally faster than a lot of other dance music categories, at approximately 145 to 160 BPM.
