Where is street dance from?

Hip hop dancing (also known as breaking or b-boying) originated in the Bronx, New York City, United States, during the 1970s. This style of dance was created by African-American and Puerto Rican youth as a way to express themselves and their culture. This art form gained traction at block parties, where DJs played funk and soul music. Dancers created moves with their bodies, including footwork, spinning on the floor, and freezes. The original hip-hop dance moves included the uprock, the toprock, the downrock, and the freeze.

Hip-hop dance quickly spread throughout the United States and the world, becoming an essential part of hip-hop culture. It evolved into a global phenomenon with various styles, such as breaking, popping, locking, and house. Over the years, hip-hop dance has been featured in music videos, films, and television shows, increasing its popularity.

Today, street dance is a diverse art form that incorporates various styles and influences from around the world. It continues to evolve as dancers create new moves and express their individuality through dance.
