The hip-hop dance style [[b-boying]] and the funkstyles [[popping]] and [[Locking (dance)|locking]] are some of the most popular street dance styles in [[African American]] culture. Those forms of hip-hop dance are the most prominently practiced ''street dances''. These street dance styles are so common that [[Hip-hop

There is a small difference between entirely freestyle (improvisational) dance and an absolute street dance. While freestyle dance is random and a personal dance invented by a single person (even if it

For example, when [[b-boying]] evolved out of early [[hip-hop culture]], people came up with their own moves, and other people improved them. Street dances constantly evolve for as long as they are intermittently practiced and regarded as the same dance.
