2000 Chav Culture
- Sporty
- Cheap
- Practical
- Relaxed and chilled out
Since the 2000's, something that is called the 'chav' culture has hit Britain. This is a laid back form of clothing which is sometimes linked with rebellious or gang behaviour.
Typical brands within the 'chav' culture are Burburry, Adidas, Puma, Lonsdale, McKenzie, Nike and Reebok.
This type of clothing is usually slouched style and consists of tracksuit bottoms and a tracksuit top or sweater.
This type of clothing is usually used now in dance for practicality over looking good, it is lightweight, cheap, easily replaceable and flexible. A lot of this type of clothing is also circulates a lot of air.
1990's Girl Band
- Turtleneck
- Layering
- Jeans with boots
- Colour
90's fashion was all about chilled out, grunge like fashion. Layering was popular among many young and old people.
Teenagers wore high neck shirts, or wore belly shirts so that they would be showing some skin. This was always accompanied with some sort of boot or chunky shoe.
The girl-band phase was kicked off in the 90's with the introduction of the most famous girl band in the world; the Spice Girls.
The Spice Girls formed every type of girl there was, from sporty to scary, ginger to posh and baby. Each spice girl used 90's fashion in a particular colour to represent their own character.
The Spice Girls were famous for their platform boots, chunky trainers, boob tubes and cut out dresses.
It was a very laid back fashion, and people mostly wore jeans with most things. A pair of slouch jeans for everyday and a pair of dress up jeans for going out.
1980's Glam Rock
- Colour
- Leather
- Face Paint
Glam rock was an era in the 1980's which came just before thrash and other metal types of music. Big hair, bright colours and gothic style combined to make this unique look. Both women and men adopted this glam rock style and it is often called 'hair metal'.
Face paints were all very popular for these glam rock bands, an example of this would be the band KISS. They use heavy makeup alongside their long hair to create a scary look.
Leggings and tight pants made from leather were prominent during the glam rock or hair metal years. Many men in these bands were seen as quite feminine, and usually had accompanying dance routines to perform around the stage with their guitars in hand.
1970's Abba Movement
Keywords:
The fashion of the 1970's was a very hip, laid back fashion which was quite dull. The main colours used were browns, suedes and sand.
Many could say that the 70's fashion was very illfitting and no one was in to fitted styles. Trousers, tops and hats were often loose, baggy and flappy to sit alongside their laid back lifestyle.
Sandals, hats and boots were very popular during this period, as were the invention of the 'flare' trouser. This was usually accompanied by brown leather or suede boots to give almost a vintage, cowgirl look.
Abba were at the forefront of anything 70's. They inspired fashion, music and tastes throughout the UK, Europe and The world. The Swedish band were the iconic dancers and shakers from the time, and their hit tunes are still adored by many today.
- Chilled
- Relaxed
- Fun
- Flares

1960's Rock and Roll
Keywords:
Rock and roll was a rebellious age in time, a decade where music expanded incredibly and so did fashion and dance for the everyday man and woman. It was a confident, rule-breaking genre with adopted a very specific fashion and style.
Women wore pleated skirts, usually with a bright or funky pattern, tight fitting tops in black and matching heeled shoes. The wore sunglasses to look inconspicuous, and neckties and little socks to finish the outfit off.
Men wore leather, denim, tailored suits with an unbuttoned shirt, they were sex objects, bad men and wanted rebels.
Elvis Presley was one of the first alongside Bill Haley and Billy Fury to really demonstrate the Rock n' Roll genre in music. These men were often seen as sex objects, wanted by many many girls and this stereotype has stuck today.
Elvis danced in a Rock n' Roll way too, he would swing his hips, arms and get down on the floor to dance.
Grease the film really embodied the Rock n Roll era of the sixties. The boys would drive around in fast cars, in gangs sporting jet black leather and unbuttoned shirts. Whilst the pink ladies would wear softer colour's and sweet dresses in contrast.
The dance moves were fast, quick, electric and fun.

- Tight
- Denim

Usually dancers wold dance in partners, with both male and female taking the lead. Each would have their own style of individual dance and then would come together for a grande finale or paired dance.
