(All the answers can be found in the extract.) *Required Street Dance A Brief Summary Street Dance is an informal style of dance involving a variety of moves, which is popular with young people and often developed in public spaces such as streets, clubs and playgrounds. Street dance, also informally referred to as street, is an umbrella term which encompasses a range of dance styles characterised by descriptions such as hip hop, funk and breakdancing. Its eclectic nature has spawned a whole new street dance language, including terms such as popping, locking, waving and krumping. When a dancer pops, they jerk their body by quickly contracting and relaxing the muscles. The movements they make are correspondingly referred to as pops or hits. Locking refers to fast, exaggerated, movements which then freeze into a rigid position (a lock), whereas waving describes a more Fuid style where movement appears to ripple through the limbs (as if a wave were traversing the dancer's body). Krumping is characterised by free, expressive and energetic movement of the arms, legs, chest and head. Street dance originated in New York in the 1970s. Evolving on the streets of Manhattan and the Bronx, it was developed as an improvised, social dance form, reacting against traditional, high-art dance styles. Popular with African-Americans and Puerto- Ricans, street dance was used as an expression of resistance and cultural identity outside of the mainstream. The energetic nature of street dance makes it popular with young people on a variety of levels, both as an art form, a competitive activity or for physical exercise (extract sourced from Macmillan Dictionary) 1.
