You might see something on TV, and think that hip hop is just one style, expecting your hip hop dance teacher to dance the same way, but it is different.  Every hip hop dance has its own personal style (freestyle), and that stands for teachers as well.

As a matter of fact, it's not even easy, sometimes to distinguish between all dance styles since everyone is using a different terminology - hip hop, break dance, funky, urban dance, street dance, fusion.  It’s also obvious that two different teachers will create different choreography, so there will be differences between the hip hop dance classes.
