Freestyle is spontaneous and individual. There are no required or structured movements that must be learned. It is an extremely popular form of dancing both for recreational purposes and as a highly competitive sport. This is a dance style enjoyed by boys and girls.
Freestyle Dancing (High Energy Freestyle Dancing), originated from the early disco days and began in the 1970s on street corners and public places where dancers would show off their improvisational skills. Los Angeles and New York were important locations for the evolution of freestyle dancing.
Although some performances are choreographed, or partially choreographed, improvisation is the main force behind freestyle and many people prefer the freedom of Freestyle dancing to other conventional types of dancing. Freestyle dancing allows for individual expression and dancers are encouraged to create new moves and develop a personal style.
Freestyle dance classes are funky, modern and fun. It's all about freedom to express movement to the wide variety of music trends. Classes should start with a warm-up and students should learn this dance form in a fun, energetic, yet hard working and disciplined environment.
High energy Freestyle dancing involves many different types of dancing, dance moves and dance steps, and leaves the dancer free to mix & match and move in any way desired. A dancer can e.g. do a hip-hop move followed by something jazzy or borrowed from modern dance and can even throw in a cha-cha-cha step.
Freestyle dancing is popular with dancers who like to express themselves. It gives them the freedom to throw their arms up in a joyous gesture if the song makes them happy. It gives them the freedom to let the whole body dance, even the head and fingers.
As with all dance forms, freestyle dancing has many health benefits.
Dancing improves, self-esteem, co-ordination, creativity, attentiveness and communication skills.
Dancing can also reduce stress and anxieties. Dancing increases self awareness and enhances social interaction skills.
Freestyle dancing is a performing art and cultural activity.

It is not an easy question to answer. Many contemporary dancers themselves are stumped when they are asked exactly what contemporary dance is. Well, I don't have the answers. But Philippe Noisette, author of "Let's talk about contemporary dance", says one of the ways to recognise contemporary dance is to realie that it's not about uniformity of dancers or of costumes; or formations such as the corps de ballet. While he states that contemporary dance has no boundaries, he also insists that it is not synonymous with chaos. While a minimalist solo is as acceptable as a choral dance for hundreds of dancers, and while dancers are allowed to be bare feet or with high heels on; thanks to the training of the dancers, choreographers are able to create harmony amidst apparent chaos.
Contemporary dance is a dance performance genre that developed during the mid twentieth century and has since grown to become one of the dominant genres for formally trained dancers throughout the world, with particularly strong popularity in the U.S. and Europe. Although originally informed by and borrowing from classical, modern, and jazz styles, it has since come to incorporate elements from many styles of dance.[1] Due to its technical similarities, it is often perceived to be closely related to modern dance, ballet and other classical concert dance styles.
