Street dance

Street dance is called street dance simply because its a style of dance that rose from the streets of America, it originated through the black hip-hop culture its a style of dance that includes many flips and tricks. Street dance focuses on different styles of dancing these are poping, locking and breaking, usually sreet dances will specialise in one of these three areas of dancing. These three styles poping, locking and breaking are the 3 most popular styles of street dance, there are still may other styles of street dance such as tutting, crip walking, krumping, clown walk, dougieing, jerking and may more styles. Popping is basically the waving of the body, using your arm body and legs to create a consistant realistic wave kind of effect going through you body, popping is one of the more original styles of street dance. Locking is the movment of the body in a robotic style, it consists of freezing from a fast movement and "locking" in a certain position, holding that position for a short while and then continuing in the same speed as before, locking is the more funky style in street dance. Breaking is the more modern style of street dance, this in my opinion is the hardest style of the three styles I mentioned, it consists of technical foot work and many power moves such as the windmill, flare, air flare, swipe and headspins.
