The name of the street dance style (aka street dance - street dance) is eloquent in itself - this style originates not from ballet classes and choreographic studios, but literally from the streets. Street dance originated on the streets of cities, on busy lanes. This style is characterized by fast, as if impulsive movements, sudden transitions from fast rhythms to smooth movements, as well as unforeseen fading.

For street dances, open-air venues acted as choreographic studios: some kind of school courtyards, streets and alleys. Often these "studios" consisted of several groups dancing break-dancing and hip-hop, which organized dance battles among themselves. And since the movements of any dance styles are allowed in the battles, the street dance style has absorbed many elements of different styles. Street dance technique includes elements of hip-hop, funk, break, RnB, disco and many other styles.

The main idea of ​​these dances is that a person wants to tell about himself, and here certain trick skills are not even so important, special tricks and steps are only an addition to this dance.
