From steps seen on TikTok to Youtube, when examining the styles of trending current dances, it can be noted that there is a blend of different forms including modern and hip hop, the two most commonly seen styles in current pop culture. However, as the line between the two dance forms are often blurred, it can be difficult to identify the styles involved. To understand the two most seen styles in pop cultures - the qualities that distinguish them, and the qualities that allowed for the two dance styles to be smoothly integrated - a brief literature review along with an observational learning method involving courses and events focused on hip hop and modern class was conducted. It was found that despite the different backgrounds and techniques involved in both modern and hip hop, both dance styles embrace similar values of freedom, self-expression, and individuality. Since both dances embrace improvisation and freestyling with a de-emphasis on the costume or other structural restraints, they can be smoothly integrated and combined into a choreography.
