Dance Step

This porject was aimed at creating a 3 dance step movement and a hairstyle that would go with the dance. The three dance step had to be created into a flip book. Also a A3 poster for the hairstyle. So I started to look at the different genres of music and some examples of dance movement routines.

Typically today's dance step music tend to be more electronic.

Steve Hillage and Miquette Girandy set out a categorization of electronic dance music genres based on bests per minute (Bpm)

• 60 - 90 Bpm - Hip hop and dub
• 90 - 120 Bpm - faster Hip hop and big beats / trip hop
• 120 - 135 Bpm - House
• 135 - 155 Bpm - Techno
• 155 - 180 Bpm - Drum and bass / Jungle
• 180 + Bpm - Hardcore gobber and beyond4

For the flip book I decided to record the movement and then later turn it into images.
