What is street dance?

Hip-hop dance is a general term for many kinds of dances, which originated in new york, USA, and is also called free dance.

It was developed among black youths in new york in the mid-1980s, and it is an indispensable part of hip-hop culture. Because its performance venues are mainly informal occasions such as roadsides and squares, it got the name street dance, which is usually dancing in the street. Now there are many people in America who perform directly on the street. The original street dance was mainly in the early stage of 1992, and there was a kind of "in-situ street dance", without those large-scale movements and footwork movements, and without those gymnastics-like ground movements in break dancing.

Its unique style lies in paying attention to the coordination of the body, attaching importance to the rhythm of the upper body, and adding a lot of head and hand movements. This new dance style can be seen in Michael Jackson, Maria Kelly and Backstreet Boys's MTV. Rhythmic movements cooperate with hip-hop music, but due to the change of hip-hop music's own style, the dance with it has also begun to change. The rise of other music types, such as funk music and soul music, has led to the emergence of new dance forms.

At first, floor dance became popular, but because it has many common characteristics with previous street dances, they are no different in the eyes of ordinary people. In fact, street dance is a general term for a series of dance forms. Their common feature is that their limbs swing greatly and their dress code is not so strict. In addition to their own performances, street dancers will also organize fighting dances to compare whose movements are more difficult and have a stronger sense of music. Although there are few opportunities to perform in the theater like ballet,

But many businesses will invite dancers to perform in promotions or advertisements to enhance the atmosphere. In Taiwan Province Province, some politicians also use hip-hop as a memorial service. Many pop singers, especially rappers, can perform hip-hop. For example, Michael Jackson has made his famous spacewalk many times.
