They're often [[improvisation]]al and [[social dance|social]] in nature, encouraging interaction and contact with the spectators and the other dancers.

Today, ''street dance'' is commonly used specifically for the many [[hip hop dance]]s and [[funk dance]] styles that began appearing in the [[United States]] in the [[1970]]s, and are still alive and evolving within the [[hip hop culture]] of today. Most of these styles are considered [[African American vernacular dance]]s as they first appeared within [[African American]] communities.

Opposite to many other dance forms, most street dances encourage individuality and originality, and that dancers interpret the existing moves freely and even invent new ones to create a personal style of their own.
