El Hip-Hop freestyle como potenciador creativo en la improvisación

Abstract

This research aims to recognize the pedagogical and artistic value of Hip-Hop freestyle within the training of dance artists. Based on my experience as a performer and researcher, I sought to demonstrate how this urban practice enhances creativity, improvisation, and the construction of bodily identity in artistic and educational contexts. The study was conducted under a qualitative approach, incorporating ethnographic and autoethnographic perspectives, which allowed me to understand Hip-Hop from within its culture and through my own lived experience. Results showed that Hip-Hop freestyle promotes expressive freedom, stage confidence, and improvisational ability, being applicable to multiple dance techniques. Participants highlighted the motivational and pedagogical nature of the workshop, as well as its potential to transform the relationship between body, music, and movement. It has concluded that Hip-Hop freestyle is an essential tool for dance education and creation, as it integrates technique, emotion, and experience, contributing to the development of more sensitive, creative, and self-aware dance artists.
