Giving reasons (Is this correct?)

Giving reasons (Is this correct?)
 
Some students answer to the question Why do you like *type of music*? omiting "It"
For example: T Why do you like hip hop? St Because is amazing.
I provided examples myself  previously "Because it is excellent for dancing" "Because I like dancing" and many of them omit IT (or the subject) in the justification
Would you take this as correct in a written assignment, for instance?
Thanks in advance

No, the sentence needs a subject in English. In Spanish, the pronoun is "built into" the verb, but that doesn �t work at all in English.
