Answer 2

Popping, Locking of the hip hop genre are the most popular now besides Break dancing. And they look really cool.

The good thing is, you wouldn't have to get down to the floor to do Popping and Locking unlike Break dancing. =)

here are all (well, a good # of) the dance genres/ styles that are currently popular:

street: hip hop, krump, popping, locking

ballroom: pretty much everything... think SYTYCD, tango, rhamba, salsa, ect.

abstract: moder, contemporary

theatrical: jazz, tap, character

these are the main style you will see at dance competitions ect.
