Dancers from the Chicago Multi-Cultural Dance Center perform hiplet which is mix of ballet and hip hip while on pointe. This style of dance uses the discipline and strength you use in ballet while creating a unique form of dance we are not use to seeing. Hiplet was created by Homer Hans Bryant’s who posted a video of his dancers that went viral getting more than 8 million views. “In order to stay relevant with young people, you have to do what they’re doing now,” "Hiplet" Homer Hans Bryant said on “Good Morning America”. Bryant has taught some stars like Lady Gaga and first daughters Sasha and Malia Obamaas. Creative new out of the box choreography is what helps keep dance alive and in the spot light. Huffington post jokingly posted an article and said "this is not your mama’s ballet". Being a dancer I watch these form of dance amazed knowing how much strength it takes to do the moves they are doing and looking so amazing while doing it.
Here is a video on Hiplet.
