Learn more about street dance

Street dancing is a broad term for dance styles that originated outside of traditional dance studios, typically performed in public spaces like streets, parks, and dance battles. It emerged in urban environments, primarily in the 1970s and 1980s, and is heavily influenced by hip-hop culture, though it also includes other genres like breaking (breakdancing), locking, popping, and house dance. Unlike formal styles, street dancing emphasizes improvisation, self-expression, and creativity, often reflecting the dancer's personal style and connection to the music. The dances are usually performed to hip-hop, funk, or electronic beats, and can involve solo performances or group choreography. Street dancing has evolved into a global phenomenon, with competitions like "Battle of the Year" and "Red Bull BC One" showcasing top dancers worldwide. It’s a dynamic, high-energy form of dance that continues to influence contemporary dance and music culture.
