'''Street dance''' is an umbrella term used to describe [[dance]] styles that were originally danced mostly at [[night club]]s or outside in the [[street]]s, mainly because of their [[social dance|social]] nature that encourages performance and ''battles''.

==Styles==
Some of the most famous street dance styles of today, such as [[breakdancing]], [[popping (dance)|popping]] and [[locking (dance)|locking]], began appearing around the [[1970s]], with breakdancing soon becoming a part of the [[hip hop culture]]. Popping and locking are considered [[funk dance]]s rather than hip hop dances, but are today commonly associated with the hip hop scene and breakdancing as well, as they share many street dance elements.

More recently, new street dance styles are emerging that are further inspired by hip hop and its music. [[Krumping]], with its focus on highly energetic battles and movements, is an example of such a style that just recently became publicly known. It's also common to see some characteristics of street dance being mixed with other more traditional dance forms, creating styles such as [[street-jazz]], a hybrid of modern hip hop styles and [[jazz dance]]. Such styles are generally focused more on choreography and performance and less on improvisation and battles, and are not always considered pure street dances.
