'''Street dance''' is an umbrella term, similar to [[vernacular dance]], used to describe [[dance]] styles that evolved outside of [[dance studio]]s at more everyday spaces such as [[street]]s, [[school]] yards and [[nightclub]]s. They're often [[improvisation]]al and [[social dance|social]] in nature, encouraging interaction and contact with the spectators and the other dancers.

(contracted; show full), 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.
