Hip-Hop Dances: Pop, Lock and Drop It

Hip-Hop Dances: Chicken Noodle Soup

Webstar & Young B's 'Chicken Noodle Soup' is all about the choreography. Fling your legs to the side as if you're having a fit and then strike a pose.



Hip-Hop Dances: Chickenhead

Chingy, 'Right Thurr'

While "chickenhead" first meant someone stupid, Chingy's 'Right Thurr' gave it a whole new meaning. Just wobble your elbows and legs.



Hip-Hop Dances: Goin' Down

Yung Joc, 'Goin' Down'

Just jerk your shoulders while snapping your wrists in time -- like you're revving a motorcycle -- and you're 'Goin Down' with Yung Joc and producer Nitti. No license required.



Hip-Hop Dances: Throw Dem 'Bows

Ludacris, 'Southern Hospitality'

More of a signal to get out the way, wild elbow swinging was a staple in the club scene for years before Ludacris' 2000 hit 'Southern Hospitality.'



Hip-Hop Dances: 2 Step

Unk, '2 Step'

Form a line, step it right and "get jiggy wit it" Unk's '2 Step' flow.



Hip-Hop Dances: Harlem Shake

G. Dep, 'Let's Get It'

Rumor has it an alcoholic created this shimmy in the '80s to get spare change. In 2001, G. Dep became the first to put it in a video with 'Let's Get It.'



Hip-Hop Dances: Kanye's Neck Jerk

Kanye West, 'Gold Digger'

Almost as contagious as 'Gold Digger's' wailing Ray Charles sample was Kanye "I'm the Best" West's peculiar head bobbing in the video.


Hip-Hop Dances: The Eagle

Nelly, 'Flap Your Wings'

For this video, Nelly requested that ladies "drop down and get your eagle on," which requires you bend your knees until you're almost on the floor, then 'Flap Your Wings' -- er, legs -- to the beat.



Hip-Hop Dances: C-Walk

The Dogg Pound, 'Cali Iz Active'

Seen in Tha Dogg Pound's 'Cali Iz Active,' the C-Walk was once only used by members of the Crips gang.



Hip-Hop Dances: Willie Bounce

Sean Paul, 'We Be Burnin''
Sean Paul does his version of the Willie Bounce in the video for 'We Be Burnin.'' This dancehall move looks like the reggae star is between two cherry trees when, unable to decide, he reaches out for one after the other.


Hip-Hop Dances: Diddy's Shuffle

Diddy, 'I'll Be Missing You'

As seen in the final seconds of 1997's 'I'll Be Missing You,' former Puff Daddy's signature footwork can't stop, 'cause it won't stop.



Hip-Hop Dances: A-Town Stomp

Usher, 'Yeah'
Back in '04, Usher and Lil Jon brought The A's thump to the masses with 'Yeah.' All you do is jump a little to the side and make a strong stomp with one foot.



Hip-Hop Dances: Krumpin'

Missy Elliott, 'I'm Really Hot'

Missy Elliott got "krump" in 'I'm Really Hot,' but the move originated in California. Just bring your arms up close to your chest and shake your body.



Hip-Hop Dances: Mary's Two Step

Mary J. Blige, 'Enough Cryin'

If the chickenhead hurts your knees, just channel Mary J. Blige's two-step from 'Enough Cryin' and do what comes naturally. That never goes out of style.
