Many street dances involve ''battles'' of some sort (known as [[jamming (dance)|jamming]] in other dance cultures), where individuals
, couples or groups of people (called ''crews'' in hip hop contexts) dance against each other, with the observing crowd or a group of [[judge]]s deciding the winner. Battles normally takes place on a prepared stage or in a ''circle'' of free space on the dance floor, with the dancers taking turns to enter and executing their moves. Normally, if the street dance style is not a [[partner dance]], only one dancer performs at a time, except when people from the same crew performs a choreographed routine. There are some exceptions to this, such as [[uprock]]ing, which uses a line formation with the dancers facing each other on fixed positions on a straight line, dancing simultaneously.
