The origin of street dance

Street dancing, which was born in the late 1960s, is the dance of the urban poor in black America. In 1970s, it was classified as a part of hip-hop culture, with strong performance, participation and competitiveness.

1992 at the beginning, there was a kind of "in-situ hip-hop", without those big moves and footwork movements, not to mention the ground movements similar to gymnastics 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. We can see this new dance style in Michael Jackson, Maria Kelly and Backstreet Boys's MTV.
