what is street dance?
Street dance combines the various urban street styles of
popping, locking bboyinig and commercial dance into an exciting
dance
The hip-hop dance styles b-boying, popping, and locking are some
of the most popular street dance styles in Western and African American
culture. Thus, those forms of hip-hop dance are the most prominently practiced
street dances. These street dance styles are so common that commercialized
versions have been professionally developed and choreographed for dance
routines in pop, hip-hop, electronic, and R&B music videos.
Another
example of a street dance is house dance. House dance, which is prominently
danced to house, disco, or techno music, evolved out of Chicago clubs but grew
and developed in the clubs of New York. Due to the modern mainstream popularity
of clubs, street and fad dances tend to evolve more often in nightclubs rather
than outdoor spaces. However, they may be practiced in outdoor spaces. Many
club and rave dances are also street dances. The majority of rave dances, like
club dances, are street dance styles since rave culture is prominently an
underground movement. Rave culture, like hip hop culture, is vastly diverse and
there are many different music genres each of which have individually prominent
vernacular dance styles. Amongst the electronic dance community, street dances
in the form of club and rave dances are mainly revolved around a consistent
rhythm and flow. Hip-hop dance styles like popping, tutting, roboting and
liquiding, due to their futuristic-cum-psychedelic theme and/or movements, have
been widely adopted amongst the electronic dance community.
