House

This style of dance is characterised by footwork and acrobatic moves. House dance began in a Chicago nightclub called the Warehouse, also the birthplace of house music. House dance has emphasised fast footwork, upper-body moves and is danced to house music.

From the beginning, the house dance scene embodied themes of unity and liberation. Clubs that played house music became venues where people from diverse backgrounds came together to dance, resulting in a cross-cultural mix of salsa, tap, African, jazz, hip hop, hustle, Capoeira and other forms. This fusion of styles, unified by the spiritually uplifting house music message, ultimately became the new artform of house dance.
