You’ve seen the meticulous, funky moves of Brittney Spears and Justin Timberlake as they groove to your favorite pop songs on MTV. According to funk teacher Clinton Shalkoff, “It’s a very detailed form of dance that involves a lot of head, shoulder, rib and hip isolations. Funk jazz and hip-hop are slightly different forms of dance in that funk involves looser movements, but the two terms are often used interchangeably”. Funk jazz and hip-hop typical attract a younger following, although people of any age who are looking for a funkier, street-style of dancing can enjoy it. These dance styles are fast-paced and make for a great cardiovascular workout.
