Jazz: As a stage performance dance, Jazz is not essentially a street dance due to the differences in its origins and historical development from the American underground dance culture. The origin of this dance is earlier than all street dances, originally is the early 1900s American tap dance combined with Charleston, Swing, LindyHop and other dances and Jazz music for the performance of the dance, in the 1940s began to introduce the classical ballet and even the technical system of modern dance, and in the late '80s and early '90s began to be Hiphop and other street dance dance dance important influence. Gradually formed the present form of Contemporary Jazz (Contemporary Jazz Dance), also in the mouth of different Jazz choreographers have been named Street Jazz, Jazz Funk, La Style, La Style Hiphop, Urban Dance and other different names, and its current form and Street Dance, especially its relationship with Hiphop is still a major controversy. Its relationship to street dance in general and Hiphop in particular remains a major controversy.
Locking: Originating in the 60s and invented by The Lockers, a team led by DonCambell, Locking was the first street dance to take shape. It is characterized by rapid rotation and pointing of the wrists and arms, and sudden freezing of movement, accompanied by various techniques such as clapping, jumping and splitting.

In addition, because street dance is specifically a summary of various underground dance cultures in American folklore, dance styles such as the Tecktonik (which originated in France) and the Melbourne Shuffle (which originated in Australia), which were not created or shaped in the United States, are not usually considered street dance.
Common street dance styles and characteristics Part 2Hiphop culture, the most easily accessible to the public is the clothing. The oversized clothes that we all remember can be considered as one of the classic styles.
However, many people think that a loose T-shirt and the fact that it looks like it's going to fall off at any moment is the skateboarding style, which is actually quite general and crude. This is because loose and relaxed clothing is one of the characteristics of Hiphop culture, but only a major tributary of Hiphop culture. The origin of this style of dressing is said to be closely related to the genesis of Hiphop culture.
It turns out that Hiphop culture is as early as in the 70s, when the United States influx of a large number of new immigrants, poor African ethnic groups accounted for a considerable proportion of the economic capacity is limited, coupled with the seriousness of the situation, this group of black skinned young people are not able to be like other white people of the same age, across the threshold of the fashionable dance hall, so they will be self-help in the public **** place to dance, so that to declare a deep sense of depression and over-energy. The first time I've seen this, I've had a chance to see it in action.
And the so-called second-class citizens of the United States at that time, that is, blacks, Jews, ...... and so on developed (so also known as Hiphop culture is), in the United States at that time, people of color are not as good as the white people in the economic situation, but the children were born than the white people, in order to let these children grow up faster than the fastest to eliminate the clothes, so often buy the clothes, so that the children can be used to buy the clothes, so that they can be used to buy the clothes.
A plus Hiphop culture sports taste heavy, loose clothing is much more convenient, in the beginning of a strong occupation of hip-hop forces, nike, adidas, puma, converse and other brands are, using the practical action of supporting sponsorship will be the brand image and the exuberant spirit of the street coherent, access to a large number of hip-hop fans to rise and concur with the loose T-shirts, body side of the rolling line, and Deda sneakers, sports shoes, and the T-shirts, and the T-shirts. The sporty look of loose t-shirts, piping on the side, and Dada sneakers became the mainstream, and this phase is also known as the OLD-SCHOOL style; as for now, it is common to see similarly large collapsed pants and loose tops being dressed up as the so-called New-School, which has been around since the nineties.
However, wide is not the whole picture of Hiphop wear, carefully subdivided, there is still a difference; skateboarding friends like to wear, for skateboarding more comfortable and more durable, and with skateboarding brands of clothing, such as DVS, PTS, VOLCOM, EXPEDITION, DC .... ...etc. are all famous brands in skateboarding sporting goods; and players like to wear Nike, adidas and other sports brands of simple style sneakers, showing a clean and smooth style, and there is a saying that adidas shoes are mostly for the dancers who play the floor action favorite; and in the brand of streetwear, there are well-known ESDJ, TRIBAL, JOKER, FUBU , and so on, JOKER, FUBU ......, etc., and brand-name apparel TommyHilfiger, POLOSport, Nautica, OAKLEY and sports brands Nike, adidas are also popular brands for dancers.
However, in all the costumes there is a distinction between OldSchool and NewSchool styles, East Coast and West Coast styles, and so on. So in a crowd of awkward dancers, you can see the 70s to 90s style **** existed, regardless of the era of dress emulation, headphones Walkman is also a must-have line; in addition, rolled up to now the development of the latest attire is the headscarf, and in addition to the separate tie, now more popular tied a headscarf and then wear a top hat, headscarf only in the forehead edge of the slightest exposure. However, whether it is for fitness, or purely to catch up with the popularity, anyway, many people are now accustomed to doing sports to join their lives, although the ultimate goal of sports in fitness, wearing clothing and shoes are also comfortable and safe for the basic considerations, but the style of enough FASHION sportswear, so that when they do sports can also not lose the popularity of the line of fashionable players must have.

Because this dance appears in the street, not confined to the venue equipment, so called street dance, and has a strong participation, performance and competition.
In China, street dance as a form of fitness was introduced by the in 1995, in order to achieve the effect of fitness, Meng Xianjun have to choose to adapt the original street dance, to take the dashing and decadent, removed the street dance performance in the more difficult, more dangerous ground action, do not seek to vent their emotions, but only to have a healthy.
