Behind The Scenes: Old School Hip Hop

Anne Marie Iniguez
Old School Hip Hop dance is one of the most fun styles to ever hit the dance floor! We were back at The Beat Box Studio on a beautiful Los Angeles summer, ready to kick it old school with Ashley. Our girls got the look, the moves and the attitude down so let’s go behind the scenes.

Old School Hip Hop: This Is How We Do It

This time around, we added another dance video to shoot for our YouTube channel. Ashley chose the classic song This Is How We Do It by Montell Jordan. Who doesn’t love this song? It’s definitely the song that gets everyone on the dance floor. I was thrilled to be one of the dancers for this shoot and I won’t lie, I’m listening to it right now and shoulder dancing while typing this article… this is how we do it! One of my all time favorite dance move, The Humpty Dance, made the cut too. So subscribe to our YouTube channel to easily find this choreo video on it’s release day.

Old School Hip Hop Level 1

Now it’s time for the long haul shoots to start. We had the wonderful Melissa & Solange helping us out with their dope dance moves behind Ashley. You might recognize them from our Flirty Hip Hop videos which they also crushed! What I personally love about Old School Hip Hop is how classic the moves are. The first level includes moves like the Cabbage Patch, Hip Rolls and the iconic TLC Creep dance move.

Old School Hip Hop Level 2

Level 2 of Old School Hip Hop might be my favorite because of Ashley’s slammin’ outfit. She donned a baby blue top with denim jeans, a cute purple bandana, a plaid shirt around her waist and like a Calvin Klein ad, her band showing above her jeans. The moves were pretty amazing too. Of course, the dance difficulty went up a notch and the girls had to learn dance moves in double time like the Kick Ball Change and the Jazz Square. Even though the hip hop moves were getting harder, the fun was keeping up with it.

Old School Hip Hop Level 3

Our last shoot for Old School Hip Hop was level 3 and this level got everyone’s heart raising especially since our pizza came earlier than expected. The girls and the crew were hyped to finish the shoot, but in order to get a slice of pizza, they must get through what Ashley had in store for them in level 3. It was no walk in the park with moves like Criss Cross Legs, the Running Man and the Booty Shake Turn. These dancers definitely got their cardio workout for the day!
