HISTORY AND CONCEPT OF HIP-HOP DANCE also provides a great start to help provoke the academic conversations needed to understand and appreciate the deep structure of the hip-hop dance culture’s mode of communication via language, movement, and music. This documentary helps the viewer to understand the aesthetic qualities that began in the Afro-Latin communities, which have now become a popular global expressive art form. Moncell Durden, the Director of HISTORY AND CONCEPT OF HIP-HOP DANCE, has spent his life doing the different dance styles under the umbrella of Hip-Hop dance from their beginnings. Moncell was trained by the Electric Boogaloos, the creators of Popping/Boogaloo, the Lockers, and the hip-hop dance crew, Elite Force. He has spent over 8 years performing with Rennie Harris Puremovement. Moncell is an adjunct professor at Pennsylvania’s Drexel University, and has lectured about the history and dance styles of Hip-Hop in America, South America, Europe and Asia for the past 10 years.
