10. The robot
When it comes to doing the robot, we’re pretty much in the animation corner of hip-hop, but that’s ok, because this isn’t an overly complicated move, much like other animation steps are.
The secret is to make sure to separate each and every step you make, as if you were a machine, maybe even add a little wobble move at the end there as if you’re stabilizing yourself. The robot has a lot of forms, but the most common form of it involves a lot of arm movements. Whether you’re crossing your arms, holding your elbows at a 90-degree angle, or moving them up and down to the side, you’re pretty much doing the robot. Interesting start of our list of easiest hip hop dance moves and steps to learn for beginners, don’t you think?
What you have to remember, is to make sure your moves are “robotic” – that they won’t flow like a normal human movement.
