What is Street Dance?
Street dance refers to dance styles that have
evolved outside of dance studios. It is performed
in -streets, dance parties, parks, school yards or
in any available space. It is often improvisational
and social in nature, encouraging interaction and
contact with spectator and other dancers.

various similar dance moves and styles collected
into one practice and regarded as the same
dance.

Different Styles of Street Dance
B-BOYING
B-boying or breaking, also called breakdancing, is a style of street
dance and the first hip-hop dance style that originated among
Black and Puerto Rican youths in New York City during the early
1970s. A practitioner of this dance is called a b-boy, b-girl, or
breaker. Although the term breakdance is frequently used to refer
to the dance, b-boying and breaking are the original terms.
Four Movements:
Toprock footwork-oriented steps performed while standing up
Downrock footwork performed with both hands and feet on the floor
Freezes stylish poses done on your hands
Power moves comprise full-body spins and rotations that give the illusion of defying
gravity
Shuffle - also known as Rocking
The Melbourne Shuffle (also known as

Rocking or simply The Shuffle) is a rave
and club dance that originated in the
late 1980s in the underground rave
music scene in Melbourne, Australia.
The basic movements of the dance are
a fast heel-and toe action with a style
suitable for various types of electronic
music. Some variants incorporate arm
movements. People who dance the
shuffle are often referred to as rockers,

Popping

Popping was popularized by Samuel Boogaloo
Sam Solomon and his crew the Electric
Boogaloos. It is based on the technique of
quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to
cause a jerk in a dancer’s body. Popping forces
parts of your body outwards, similar to an
explosion within parts of your body. Popping also
contracts muscles, but it is followed by
relaxation that gives it the jerking appearance of
popping.
LOCKING or CAMPBELLING
Locking or campbellocking, was created by Don

Campbellock Campbell in 1969 in Los Angeles,
California. It was popularized by his crew, The
Lockers. Locking can be identified by its
distinctive stops. It is usually performed by
stopping the fast movement that you are doing,
locking your body into a position, holding it, and
then continuing at the same speed as before. In
locking, dancers hold their positions longer. The
lock is the primary move used in locking. It is
similar to a freeze or a sudden pause. A locker’s
dancing is characterized by frequently locking in
place and after a brief freeze moving again
Krumping

Krumping is a form of dancing that originated in the
African-American community of South Central Los
Angeles, California and is a relatively new form of the
“Urban” Black dance movement. It is free, expressive
and highly energetic. Most people paint their faces in
different designs. Krumping is a dance style to release
anger. It is reported that gang riots in the United States
decreased because of krumping style.

Tutting

It is a creative way of making geometric shapes forming
right angle using your body parts. The style was
originally practiced by young funk dancers. It is derived
from the positions people were drawn in during the days
of the Ancient Egyptians. It is the positions seen in these
portraits that have been adopted by dancers today.
Tutting is still a greatly respected move and King Tut aka
Mark Benson pioneering the style.
Waacking

Waacking” is an African American
form of street dance originating from
the 1970’s disco era of the
underground club scenes in Los
Angeles and New York City. Waacking
consists of stylized posing and fast
synchronized arm movements to the
beat of the music. Today, waacking is
a popular element of hip hop dance.
