::: How to do Uprock / Battle Rock :::

Uprock was developed in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn between 1967 and 1968 by two men: "Rubberband Man" and "Apache". Throughout the mid-60s and mid-70s, Brooklyn was home to many street gangs. Rubberband Man and Apache were all too familiar with these violent times; they grew up in the Bushwick area. They often hung around with the "Devil Rebels" and other local Brooklyn gangs. Although they socialized within a dangerous circle of friends, getting into trouble was not their ultimate goal. They loved to dance, mainly to Soul and Funk music, and wanted to channel their energy and skill towards something new, so they created a new dance form called "Rocking". Rubberband Man and Apache would dance on the street corners while listening to the radio. They used a mixture of moves from Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Salsa, and later the Hustle.

As the dance developed, body movements called "jerks" and hand gestures called "burns" would be added to imitate a fight against an opposing dancer. Apache, to humiliate his opponents, incorporated hand gestures known as "Burns". Rubberband Man and Apache morphed these dance styles, movements, and gestures together to create a unique and original street dance. Many gangs, and more specifically gang members, began to perform this dance. It became commonplace to see gang members hanging out in corners dancing against each other. Rocking became a competitive dance that caught on very quickly.

By the early 70's Uprocking became a local dance, not just a "gang dance". Many non-gang-related youths from around the area started Uprocking. This dance appeared at block parties, teen dances, and many other festive gatherings. A man by the name of "Crazy Rob" organized the first Uprock contests in existence. Competition was fierce and Brooklyn became a breeding ground for intense dance contests (commonly known as battles).

Unfortunately, fierce competition did not go without difficulties. Though many battles would end peacefully, several others did not. Rubberband Man's final battle ended in a violent outcome when he lost his life through a jealous dance rift. Rubberband Man participated in a dance battle, in which the opposing dancer's girlfriend was put up as a prize. Ultimately, Rubberband won the contest and claimed his prize. The jealous boyfriend shot Rubberband as he was leaving the dance club with his new "prize" girlfriend. It was a tragic ending, a true legend was lost, but the dance continued to live on.

Later another follower of Rubberband Man named Eddie Figueroa passed on and taught others the intricate moves and steps of Uprock dance in tribute to the memory of Rubberband Man.

By late 70's Uprock had its own identity as a serious dance form. There were dozens of crews in Brooklyn by this time. Uprock was taken very seriously by its supporters. The high stakes for battles often included money, women, bragging rights, and shirts. Latter being one of the highest stakes in a battle; if you lost your shirt, you lost your nickname and your crew's name.

In 1980, the biggest title in Brooklyn came up. The title was "King Uprock". All the best Uprock dancers in Brooklyn came together to compete in one contest. The title was won by 'Ralph Casanova, who now holds the "King Uprock" title.

By the mid-80 and into the 90's Uprock began to wane while Breakdance became more popular. Many Uprockers got married, acquired full time jobs, became "B-boys" themselves, or had other situations that took them out of the game. The only way that Uprock was present during this time was in a modified form called "Top Rock", which was done by B-boys. Top Rock was not the correct form of the original Brooklyn Uprock dance, and in essence, Uprocking became dormant for a few years.


Dance
The dance involves two or more dancers, single or as a team, dancing alternatively or simultaneously, performing what is called a dance battle. Uprock dancers battle throughout the duration of a complete song, unlike Breakdance, which uses the "break" of a song. The initial basic move is the freestyle or routines if any until the break of a record. At the "break" is where the "jerk" or "burn" is then executed.

Although uprockers sometimes emulate fight moves with their "burns", physical contact is never allowed. Physical contact is usually a sign of inexperience. If an uprocker is experienced he or she will not make any contact in order to "burn" his or her opponent. If occurring, no point or burn will be given to the one who touched the other.


The Apache Line
The dance is performed in a line formation called the "Apache Line" so another opponent or teammate is needed in order to battle or do a routine. The Apache Line allows two opposing dancers or crews to face each other and execute their "burn" gestures towards one another in contrast to where the b-boy battle is in a circle. Each uprocker must keep in his/her line formation until either he is tapped to step out by another rocker, or the opponent gives out. However, the teams can switch partners in keeping the battle line in motion. Then he or she steps out and the next dancer is in the battle. This is a sign of respect for both dancers.

In the initiation of a new rocker, an Apache line is created. The new Uprocker must battle each member on the Apache Line. The New Rocker must dance down the center of the Apache Line and battle each Rocker ensuring that he keeps a discipline in the use of jerks, burns and freestyle.


Rhythm and float
Experienced uprockers are also familiar with the songs that they dance to, and they use the lyrics and sounds of the music to out-do their opponent. The music is the guideline for when to execute a jerk, burn, or freestyle. Therefore, knowledge of the music is very important in the Battle scene. An uprocker must execute a jerk or burn at the "break" and dance freestyle or burn throughout the rest of the music played. He or she uses the music's lyrics or sounds in his or her favor in order to create the illusion of a story. This is unlike a breaker who steps in, "Breaks", then steps out for part of the music.

The battle does not necessarily use burn after burn; there must be a constant rotation of burns and jerks in order to give each opponent the space to burn the other with style. There really is no losing in the battle; it is the knowledge of the music and the styling of dance that wins in favor of the dancer. Creativity and execution of the moves in accordance to the music being played was the way it is judged.


Etymology
It was called "Rock" because they danced mainly to rock songs. This style of rock later became known as Funk. The Rock dance partly consists of different bits and pieces of Salsa. As far as the moves, there are footwork and shakes. Many good rockers did the Latin Hustle because back in the days it went hand in hand.

The dance caught on so quickly in the early 70's, and had spread so widely, that the name had to be changed. The term "Rock" in a "Rock Contest" would confuse many "Rock music" fanatics; they would show up expecting a rock concert. Mistaken as a "rock & roll dance", "Rocking" became "Uprocking", which was a combination of Salsa, the hustle, freestyle, burns and jerks. It was the same dance with a different name. The name change did not affect the rate of the dance's growth and popularity. Many young men were competing and many Uprock crews were organized.


Breakdance and Hip Hop
The original B-Boy generation consists of classic B-Boying, Electric Boogaloo, Popping, Locking, Uprocking, MCing, "beat boxing", DJing and Aerosol Art. Some of these forms have been around individually, until 1974, when a defined name entitled "Hip Hop" was derived by Afrika Bambaataa. Hip Hop united all of these different elements. Uprock is one dance that has been developing in the late 1960s, before any of these dances were even united under Hip Hop.

It is stated that if there were no Uprockers back in the late 60's we would not have the Break-dancers (media's term for B-Boys) today. Breakdance now reappears in the streets and clubs of New York City as it did in the early 80's. From the beginning, Uprock's "Jerks", "Burns", and "Freestyle" were and are the three main movements used in this dance art form, and is still being used in today's B-Boying. The modified Uprock in Breakdance is called Toprock. Uprock does have many similar "Down Rocking", (known as Boing Oing) that b-boys use. "Uprocking the downrocking" part soon evolved to become "B-Boying", which the Bronx took to the next level with the addition of spins.

::: How to do Stepping :::

Description 6 step...
The 6-step is foundational to breakdance not only because it is the first footwork sequence breakers often learn, but also because it remains the move around which many sets are structured. Many breakdance moves can begin from the 6-step. The move sets up the direction of rotation and builds momentum while imparting body control. The breaker stays low and in contact with the ground, which places him in perfect position for performing other moves. Each of the six distinct steps puts the body in a different position which can be used as starting points for other moves. Steps 1/2 and 3/4 (described below) are most often used for launching other moves. Conversely, any move which ends on the ground can be transitioned smoothly back into the 6-step.

The body position after step (2) and step (4) are mirror images of each other. Six step often involves looking straight ahead constantly and placing the feet in the same place for each rotation, but can be done with your body facing a different direction for each rotation.

While the basic 6-step resembles walking in a circle on the ground, there are many variations of footwork or "techs" that can reverse the direction of rotation, interlock limbs, incorporate minor flips, twists, kicks, shuffles, tweaks, and much more.


Step by Step - Clockwise rotation..
As the name implies, there are a total of six steps in one rotation of the 6-step. A standard version begins in the push-up position with feet spread apart.
The left hand lifts, and the right foot is placed where that hand used to be.
As weight shifts onto the right hand and foot, the left leg is moved up into the crook of the right knee.
The right leg swings around in front of the right hand and comes down so that the breaker's legs are in a crab position. Meanwhile, he switches hands so that the left hand returns to the ground and the right hand flies up.
The left leg now swings around in a wide arc and wraps around the right.
The right leg moves back into its original push-up spot.
Lastly, the left leg pulls back while the right hand comes down to complete the push-up position. The breaker is now back in the starting position and may continue with step 1.

Variants
Out of the many 6-step variations, a few have a defined, repeatable pattern like the 6-step itself and therefore are recognized as footwork sequences in their own right. The most widely recognized ones are listed below. Experimenting breakers commonly invent their own footwork sequences and casually refer to them as "their 9-step" or some similar term, but these sequences are not widely recognized. Moreover, some moves like the 2-step are relatively unrelated to the 6-step even though they have similar nomenclature.

3-Step
This is a move done in many different ways. Start out in a push up position and do the first step in a six step way, lift your right hand and put your left foot where your hand used to be. Instead of stopping here, turn yourself so you're in a crab soccer position, like in the third step of the six step. Now throw out your right leg and do a chain and ball, a helicopter, or a coffee grinder (the name depending upon where you're from). Catch your left ankle in the air on your way around and twist and untwist it for style points. When you land you should be in the starting position. It helps if you're flexible when you do the chain and ball. This is very good for getting momentum for other moves.

5-Step
A simplified variation of the 6-step. The only difference is that the initial two steps are merged into one. The dancer jumps into step two with his/her front leg slightly more extended.

7-Step
Also a simple variation on the 6-step. The first step is the same, but at the second step the left leg steps over the right. From here the right leg is kicked forward to a position halfway through the third step of the 6-step. The right leg is tucked back in and you continue the fifth step.

::: How to do Toprock and Downrock :::

Toprock is a major element of b-boying. It generally refers to any string of steps performed from a standing position, relying upon a mixture of coordination, flexibility, rhythm, and most importantly, style. It is usually the first and foremost opening display of style, and it serves as a warm-up for transitions into the more acrobatic maneuvers of downrock. Breakers may devote considerable time to developing their toprock, and the style they display is a point of pride.

It is a style of dance in and of itself, but it is very open to modification for individual style. For the same reason, it has come to incorporate elements that range widely from Liquid dancing to the Robot. In particular, uprock is a competitively-oriented type of toprock consisting of foot shuffles, spins, turns, and creative movements that may mimic combat. It was developed from the "Ginga", a footwork pattern used in capoeira, which was taught to youth in African-American community centers as a method of developing self-esteem and character. In fact Toprock was stolen from Uprock with Toprock the bboy's version of Uprock.

Downrock is an element of breakdance that includes all footwork performed on the floor. Downrock is normally performed with the hands and feet on the floor, as opposed to toprock. In downrock, the breakdancer displays his or her proficiency with foot speed and control by performing footwork combinations. The foundational move of downrock is the 6-step, and combinations often transition from it into more athletic moves known as power moves.

::: B-boy and B-girl :::

A B-boy or B-girl is a person devoted to hip-hop culture, specifically the breakdance element. The term originates with the first hip hop DJ, Kool DJ Herc, who, noticing the reaction of some dancers to his playing the part of the record with a drum break, named them break-boys or B-boys. It quickly came to include any follower of hip hop, identifiable by clothing habits, listening tastes or lifestyle, but has returned in latter years to the more specific usage in connection with dance.


Overview
There are four basic elements which form the foundation of B-boying. The first is Toprock, a term referring to the upright dancing and shuffles that B-boys do when they enter a circle. The second element is the Downrock or Footwork, refers to dancing performed on the floor. The third element, is known as the Freeze, refers to the poses that B-boys throw into their dance sets to add punctuation to certain beats and end their routines. The fourth and final element of bboying is the Power moves. These are acrobatic moves normally made up of circular motions where the dancer will spin either on the floor, or in the air.

A related dance form which influenced B-boyings Uprocking / Rocking / The Rock Dance, also performed while standing, and a style of dance in which both dancers fabricate ways of beating the opponent using fictional weaponry and embarrassing situations in rhythm with the music (Burning). This style involves moves called Yerks [pronounced Jerks] which are a set of motions executed to the break of a track and are where most of the battling occurs, outside of the break of a track is where the freestyle element of the dance is executed with great musicality throughout.


B-boy fiction
The first B-boy-themed novel, Kid B, was published by Houghton Mifflin in 2006. The author, Linden Dalecki, was an amateur B-boy in high school and directed a short documentary film about Texas B-boy culture before writing the novel. The novel was expanded from a B-boy-themed short story The B-Boys of Beaumont, that won the 2004 Austin Chronicle short story contest.


Crews
A crew is a group of two or more b-boys or b-girls who choose to dance together for whatever purpose, either simultaneously or separately. Some of the most known crews to the mainstream population in the USA include crews like the Rock Steady Crew, New York City Breakers and the Boogie Brats.

Since its development, however, there have been multitudes of crews that have come up all around the world. Crews such as Ichigeki from Japan, Gamblerz and Last For One of South Korea, and Vagabondz of France go to competitions like Battle of the Year to test themselves against the best in the world. The South Koreans have emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the B-boy world, winning 4 of the last 6 Battle of the Year competitions.


Battles
Battles are an integral part of the b-boying culture. They can take the form of a cypher battle and an organized battle. Both types of battles are head to head confrontations between individuals or groups of dancers who try to out-dance each other.

The cypher (or the circle) is the name given to a circle of b-boys and/or b-girls who take turns dancing in the center. There are no judges (other than the participants of the cypher itself), concrete rules or restrictions in the cypher, only unsaid traditions. Although people aren't always battling each other in the cypher, there are many times when battles do take place. B-boying began in the cypher and only later did organized competition develop. This type of battle is how b-boying was originally and it is often more confrontational and more personal. The battle goes on until it ends for one of many possible reasons, such as one dancer admitting defeat. Cypher culture is more present in communities with a stronger emphasis and understanding of original, true hip hop culture. Battling in the cypher is also a common way for dancers to settle issues between each other whether it be individuals or crews.

Organized battles, however, set a format for the battle, such as a time limit, or specify a limit for the number of dancers that can represent each side. Organized battles also have judges, who are usually chosen based on years of experience, level of deeper cultural knowledge, contribution to the scene and general ability to judge in an unbiased manner. There are however, times when non b-boys or non b-girls are chosen to judge by some organizers, and these type of events (jams) are often looked down upon by the b-boying community. Organized battles are far more publicized and known to the mainstream community, and include famous international-level competitions such as Battle of the Year, UK B-Boy Championships Redbull BC One, Freestyle Session and R16 Korea. It should be noted however that a view exists that a trend in recent years has been to place an over-emphasis on organized battles, which takes away from a more originality-based aspect of the culture that is often more emphasized in cypher culture.

- Various B-boy styles -

There are many different styles one can use to break, often stemming from a given b-boy or b-girl's area of origin and dancing influences. Although there are some generalizations on the kind of styles that exist, many b-boys and b-girls will try to combine elements from different styles with their own ideas and knowledge in order to create their own style.

Examples...
Power - When people ask b-boys if they "breakdance," usually this is what is comes to mind. Power moves deal with full-body spins and rotations that give the illusion of defying gravity. Headspins, backspins, windmills, babymills (munchmills), flares, airflares, airtracks, 1990s, 2000s, jackhammers, crickets, turtles, hand glide, halos, etc.

Abstract - A very broad term of a b-boy style, but may include the incorporation of threading footwork, freestyle movement to hit beats, the inclusion of house dancing, broken link styles and "circus" styles (balance, tricks, contortionism, etc.)

Blowup Style - A type of dancing based on the "wow factor" of some power, freeze, trick, and circus style. Blowup styles are made to pile as many difficult trick combinations together right after one another to "smack" the other b-boy. Usually comes after becoming proficient in other styles first due to the amount of control and practice needed. These are the names of some of the moves: airbaby, airchair, hollow backs, solar eclipse, reverse airbaby, etc. The main point in blowup style is that a b-boy needs to be able to go from one move to another, or better yet, transition between several moves back and forth.

::: Moves, Beat and inFashion :::

:::: Moves ::::

Toprocks...
Toprocks menampilkan gerakan yang membtuhkan fleksibilitas, gaya , dan yang paling penting irama. Tarian ini biasa digunakan pada awal pertunjukkan sebagai pemanasan beberapa gaya akrobatik lain. Dowrock biasanya ditampilan dengan posisi tangan dan kaki pada lantai. Pada downrock, seorang breaker menampilkan perputaran tubuh dengan kecepatan kaki dan kontrol dengan cara mengkombinasi gerakan kaki. Kombinasi ini akan menampilkan gaya yang disebut power moves

Power Move...
Power Move adalah gerakan yang membutuhkan momentum dan kekuatan fisik untuk menjalankannnya. pada power move, breaker lebih bergantung pada kekuatan tubuh bagian atas untuk menari, menggunakan tangan untuk bergerak. Power Move terdiri dari Windmill, Swipe, dan Flare. The windmill adalah gerakan populer daripower move.

Freeze...
Freeze adalah menahan gerakan dengan pose yang bagus. Semakin sulit freeze, membutuhkan kekuatan tubuh breaker untuk menahan dirinya, dengan pose seperti Handstand .

Suicide...
Suicide adalah tarian penutup sebagai kebiasaan breaker. Breaker akan membuat dirinya terhilat kehilangan kendali dan jatuh dengan punggung, perut, dll. Semakin sakit penampilan suicide terlihat, semakin bagus tarian tersebut, tetapi breaker akan melakukannya dengan sebuah trik untuk mengurangi sakit. Biasanya tarian ini juga digunakan untuk menarik penonton setelah gerakan freeze.

:::: Beat ::::

Musik menjadi salah satu elemen penting dalam breakdance, karena para breakers tentu tidak akan bisa menari tanpa musik. Bahkan terkadang musik-musik yang seru dapat menjadi sebuah inspirasi tersendiri bagi para breakers ini. Musik-musik dengan irama break beat merupakan menu wajib di sini, yaitu dengan campuran musik-musik lain seperti Jazz, Soul, Funk, Electro, Electro Funk, Disco, Hip Hop, sampai R&B. Musik-musik ini tidak dibiarkan murni begitu saja, karena ada DJ yang bertugas mengolah musik tersebut sehingga akan terdengar sangat serasi dengan gerakan-gerakan yang ada.

Tempo pada musik yang dimainkan disini berkisar antara 110 hingga 135 beats per minute (BPM), sedangkan di Eropa untuk urusan musik memang sedikit berbeda jika dibandingkan dengan Amerika. Kalu di Amerika para breakers menggunakan black music untuk mengiri tarian mereka, maka Eropa memilih jenis musik electronica dan rock untuk mengiringi mereka. Musik yang berbeda tersebut menjadi sebuah warna tersendiri di dunia ini, dan gerakan-gerakan yang mereka mainkan pun terlihat lebih extreme dibandingkan dengan gerakan para breakers yang menggunakan musik-musik pada umumnya.

:::: inFashion ::::

Bagi para breakers, selain musik, fashion atau wardrobe juga bagian yang sangat penting, karena menurut mereka fashion merupakan identitas diri mereka sendiri. Breakers pada tahun 1980'an memilih brand Adidas, Puma atau Fila untuk sepatu yang mereka gunakan, karena sepatu dari brand ini memiliki tingkat kelenturan yang sangat nyaman dan cukup menunjang mereka dalam melakukan gerakan-gerakan pada tarian ini. Beberapa breakers bahkan sengaja menggunakan topi, t-shirt dan sepatu dengan brand yang sama sehingga terlihat lebih serasi. Sebagai aksesori tambahan beberapa Breaker membawa tape sebagai pemutar musik. Pada akhir-akhir ini para b-boys juga sering mengenakan kostum seperti b-boys pada era tahun 80'an, karena fashion para b-boys pada tahun tersebut benar-benar sangat nyaman dan cukup sederhana, sehingga mempermudah ruang gerak mereka.

Selain identitas dari para b-boys, ternyata beberapa atribut yang mereka gunakan ini juga memiliki fungsi ganda, yaitu sebagai pelindung ketika mereka melakukan gerakan-gerakan yang cukup extreme. Walaupun berfungsi sebagai pelindung, namun tetap saja bagian dari fashion ini sangat menarik untuk diperhatikan dan tentunya tetap menunjang fashion dari para b-boys tersebut. Headwear seperti helm skateboard atau topi menjadi pelindung kepala mereka ketika melakukan gerakan headspins (berputar dengan kepala sebagai tumpuan dan kaki diatas). Selain itu bandana yang mereka kenakan pada kening mereka juga berguna untuk menahan rambut mereka sehingga tidak menutupi mata mereka ketika sedang menari.

Jika pada umumnya kita melihat dandanan para b-boys sangat mirip dengan dandanan para jamers atau skateboarder, Anda tidak perlu heran jika melihat para b-boys dengan dandanan a la punk atau gothic sekalipun, karena sebenarnya hal itu sah-sah saja, karena fashion-lah yang menjadi identitas mereka.

::: Historical of Bboy :::

"Flash Back" sedikit ke era akhir 60-an..atau awal 70-an.

" Good Foot" sebuah tarian yang dilakukan the "Nicholas Brothers", atau salah satu personilnya yang terkenal yaitu "James Brown".
Sebagian berpendapat bahwa "The Good Foot" merupakan tarian freestyle pertama yang mungkin mengilhami para bboys di pesta "Kool Dj Herc".
Bboy-bboy pertama yang terkenal diantaranya "Nigger Twinz","Zulu Kings" & "Spy"(a.k.a The man Wit Thousand Moves).
Namun Diakhir tahun 70an bboying mulai kehilangan pamornya yang pada waktu itu sebagian besarnya berlangsung pada remaja-remaja berkulit hitam.

Sekitar awal 80-an bboying mulai muncul kembali.
Kali ini pamornya terhadap remaja asal Poerto Rico yang meletakan hidup mereka pada bboying dan membawanya ke tingkat selanjutnya, mereka memulai untuk mengkombinasikan bboying dengan gerakan acrobat dan gymnastic Tetap berpatokan pada "Style".
Rock Steady Crew merupakan salah satu dari crew bboying yang melahirkan gaya-gaya baru dalam bboying tak lupa untuk disebutkan New York City Breakers merupakan salah satu dari crew yang memajukan breakdance di era itu.
Film film mulai dibuat pada saat itu dan membawa bboying keluar dari bronx untuk di perkenalkan ke dunia.
Diantaranya adalah Flash Dance.
Walaupun Flash Dance bukan film bboy, namun pengaruhnya cukup besar untuk dunia soal Breakdance.
Setalah Flash dance muncul film "Breakin","Breakin2",&"Beat Street".
Beat Street menjadi sangat terkenal karena ada adegan battle antara Rock Steady Crew dan New York City Breakers. Dua crew bboy yang sangat terkenal.
Media sangat mempengaruhi bboying.
Karena pengaruh ini bboying terkenal dengan sebutan Breakdance.


Bboying adalah sebuah bentuk tarian Hip-hop dimana sekarang dikenal sebagai "Breakdance", terdiri dari Top Rock / Up Rock, Foot work, Spinning Moves (power moves) dan Freeze.
Bboying datang dari Bronx New York City America. Sebutan Bboying pertama kali dikemukakan oleh Kool Dj Herc yang merupakan seorang Dj di Bronx pada masa itu.
Bboys artinya "Break Boys".
Disebut "Break Boys" karena mereka menari saat bagian musik turun dimana musik hanya ada ketukan drum atau dikenal dengan istilah break part of music.
Akhirnya Break part di "Looping" oleh DJ maka lahirlah "Break Beats"

Perkembangan jenis tarian yang satu ini pun sangat pesat, bahkan beberapa komunitas di Amerika mulai terbentuk. Pada tahun 1980'an, breakdance sudah menjadi seperti fashion di Amerika. Hampir di setiap malam di beberapa bagian kota terdapat beberapa komunitas yang saling menunjukan kebolehannya dalam melakukan jenis tarian ini, walau tidak sedikit yang berujung pada keributan. Cara mereka berkompetisi memang sangat mirip dengan dengan freestyle yang biasa ditemukan pada musik Hip Hop. Tidak hanya di jalan-jalan saja tarian ini ditemukan, karena club dan party pun menjadi lahan empuk bagi para breaker untuk menunjukan kebolehannya.

Setelah sempat menjadi "sampah" di beberapa tempat umum tersebut, akhirnya breakdance mulai menunjukan kelasnya. Pada akhir tahun1980, mulai banyak kompetis breakdance yang resmi bermunculan dan Battle Of The Year merupakan salah satu kompetisi yang sangat berkelas. Kehadiran kompetisi ini langsung diikuti dengan berbagai kompetisi lainnya yang seara tidak langsung mengangkat kelas jenis tarian ini.
