Street Dance is a combination of many techniques
derived from street games with movement and rhythm. It comprises
elements of hip-hop, funk, electric boogie and break dance. Depending
on the style of dance it can be very technical with locking and
popping moves incorporated or more simple funky smooth moves.
An example of this style of dance is Wade Robson who has programme
on MTV in which unknown dancers have to imitate his set of moves
to win the show.
It has been around since the 90’s
due to the popularity of African, Jamaican and pop dance routines
in videos. Street dance can be seen on video clips and live performances
of such pop stars as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears, Anastasia
and famous STOMP group.
The style of music played to street
dance varies from hip-hop, African rhythms, Urban Funk, R’n’B
and pop.
