Preface I.1 Motivation & Background With the broadcast of a famous China program “Street Dance of China,” street dance is all the rage today among teenagers. Initially, street dance was merely prevailing in America; however, in the wake of globalization, it stands out throughout the world, and a lot of competitions were held as mushrooms after rain. What’s more, one kind of street dance, “breaking, is even possible to become one of the formal competitions, Paris Olympic Games in 2024” (BBC, 2019). As street dance in earlier times was for the accusation, attraction, and gang fights instead of for recreation, it led to the result that people viewed street dance as an underground activity. However, the truth is that, no matter what your gender, age, skin colors, and social statuses are, everyone can enjoy dancing. Through the program “Street Dance of China,” street dance broke through cultural circles, being treated and fostered correctly, giving a stage for dancers that was once looked down upon. To make people get rid of prejudice against street dance and exploiting more possibilities of street dance, we want to popularize street dance and take it to the world, and make everyone a fan of street dance! I.2 Purpose (1) What is street dance and what is its history? (2) What’s teenagers’ impression of street dance? (3) What’s the development and blueprint of street dance in the future? (4) How can we do to promote the culture of street dance? I.3 Research Methods (1) The Method of Literature Exploration: We collected data through the Internet and doctoral thesis. (2) Questionnaire survey procedure (quantitative analysis): We try to learn about teenagers' views and perceptions of street dance through online questionnaires. I.4 Procedures 1 A Dance Style That Is Worth Our Attention -Street Dance II. Body II.1 The Origin of Street Dance II.1.1 In the Overseas Cities In the late 1960s, street dance originated from Hip-hop music and Rap music in the African- American community and is a part of Hip-hop culture. Because its performance venues are on the roadside, square and other informal occasions, it is thus called street dance. Street dance was successively born in two places, New York and California (Wikipedia, 2019). II.1.1.1 New York In the 1980s, the dance style of African-Americans in New York changed with the rising of Hip- hop music. After being adapted and created by Henry Link and Buddha Stretch, a brand-new dance style that combined with a variety of dance movements and could dance with Hip-hop music, R&B music and Jazz music, etc., came into the world. To distinguish it from the dance style of African- American in the 1970, it can thus be divided into two parts, Old School and New School. In early 1980, Breaking is the most prevailing and all the dance styles among this period were called Old school, which consisted of a series of movements and matched with the tempo of Hip-hop music. In the 1990s, another dance style came out, New School, or straightly called it Hip-hop dance. New School inherited the tradition of rock, a dance style that featured wiggling from side to side. In contrast to Old School, New school put a greater emphasis on matching the rhythm of the music. In other words, the key that turns Old School into New School is exactly the rhythm of the music (Wikipedia, 2019). II.1.1.2 California California's Hip-hop originated in Oakland, the center of the African-American civil rights. In the 1960s, many black groups developed Boogaloo dance based on the actions of early street artists, comedians, and pantomime actors. In the 1970s, Funk music appeared in California and developed two dance styles, one is Locking, and the other is Popping. Locking was invented by Don Compell, an L.A. black youth, in the 1970s, while Locking was invented by Sam Solomon in Fresno, Los Angeles. He created a series of dance movements with the combination of Boogaloo dance and Funk music and also formed another dance style. In the meantime, Sam created another dance style -Popping, based on Auckland Roboting. Because of having a common musical base, Auckland dances such as Locking, Popping, Boogaloo dance, and early Roboting are now collectively known as Funk Style Dance (Wikipedia, 2019). 2 A Dance Style That Is Worth Our Attention -Street Dance II.1.2 Taiwan The turning point when street dance became popular in Taiwan was in 1980. Since the programs, “shining beats” and “golden channel” were released and the pop music master, Yu Guang, introduced western dance music, street dance had caught teenagers’ eyes and many people began watching MVs and imitating street dance. Meanwhile, with Hong Kong's idols and troupes coming to Taiwan, the first troupe of street dancers such as Ou Jun, Gao Jing Yang, and Wong Qin Xian took Taiwan by storm. At that time, the dancing level of Taiwan almost kept up with that of all the other countries. The Japanese TV station NHK even paid a special visit to Taiwan and interviewed the teenagers that danced at Shi Zi Lin square. Luo Shu Yu described, “Breaking was such a sensation that once a dancer or a troupe learned how to perform some movements such as WINDMILL, HEADSPIN and KNEESPIN, they could have the world” (Chinese Taipei Street Dance Association, 2010). In 1985s, with the release of the "Five Lights Award", street dance culture in Taiwan had been taken to a higher level, and because of that, many a person started learning breaking and popping. In the same year, there were many dance troupes came out, such as Gestapo, who made a hit with avant-garde music and superb dance skill. Another important and influential dance troupe is L.A Boys, who brought the real American dance style to Taiwan. Street dance lovers in this era usually gathered in the plaza to practice dancing and learned from each other by exchanging views of dance skills, and the two most popular places to practice dancing were Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. Nevertheless, it was not until 1995 did the sensation fade out after the “Coca-Cola street dance competition” finished. Between 1996 and 1997, many DJs started to popularize Hip-hop music. Simultaneously, Mariah Carey came to Taiwan for her concert, and her exclusive dancers brought self-created dance movements to Taiwan, which rekindled the hope of Taiwan's street dance industry. After that, the first street dance competition in Taiwan, “SUMMER HIGH” was held, and many renowned troupes were invited as performing guests (Chiu, 2015). Since 1988, Hip-hop dancers, DJs, and artists from all over the world came to Taiwan for communication and share with each other. Therefore, Hip-hop was spread rapidly in every part of Taiwan. In 1999, the first street dance alliance, South Soul, was established in Taiwan, which can be considered the flourishing period of south Taiwan; moreover, high school dance clubs were springing up like mushrooms. At the same time, Korean Hip-hop music started to snatch the Taiwan market, which provided Taiwanese with more choices. In 2000, American Hip-hop culture drew a lot of attention, influencing global music and street dance style. Taiwan is no exception. Many singers began creating music by Hip-Hop and R&B style, and many dance competitions were held one after another in all parts of Taiwan. As a result, the number of people who take part in this field is increasing; therefore, the culture of Taiwanese street dance became more and more stable. 3 A Dance Style That Is Worth Our Attention -Street Dance II.2 Various Dance Styles of Street Dance Table 1: The Styles of Street Dance. Locking Locking was originated from the late 1960s, which is the earliest formed dance style of street dance. It is invented by the crew, The Lockers, leading by Don Compell. It features fast movements, point with arms and hands, and sudden stop in a short time, and usually goes with clap, jump, split, etc. Breaking In the early 1970s, a series of difficult, skillful Power Moves using the head, shoulder, back and knee as a center of gravity to spin rapidly on the floor was widely accepted with the name, Breaking. Moreover, Breaking is the first Hip-hop style of street dance. “Hip” means one’s bottom, and “Hop” means jumping with one foot, and the combination of these two words means, “swaying bottoms softly”. Hip-Hop originated between the late 1980s and early 1990s and was spread by the dance crew, Elite Force, led by Buddha Hip-Hop Stretch. Hip-Hop originally meant the embryonic street dance dance (breaking), and it was transformed into a huge and broader concept afterward. This dance style emphasizes the integration of two objects, rhythm of the body and music; as a result, it is rich in lively feeling and looks pretty enjoyable. The element of movements generally comes from an underground dance party, prevalent movements performed in American entertaining TV programs and ironic movements in gang culture. Hip-Hop is one of the most frequently-learned dance styles. With dancing by a wide range and simple steps, it can present a complicated emotion. The technique of shrinking and relaxing muscles rapidly causes the dancers' bodies to look quivering.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This dissertation explores the idea of electronica as a descendent of electronic dance music, which, although embodying many related aesthetic qualities, operates within a different set of musical values. This needs to be understood in the context of how dance music's character, form and modes of performance relate to its specific cultural function. Repetitive beats (as espoused by house and techno in particular) comprise part of the cultural experience of rave. In combination with drug technologies and an ethos of collectivity, rave encapsulates a set of political phenomena that are entrenched within the formal and textural priorities of dance music. I discuss how modes of reception are affected by changes in these priorities, and to what extent post-dance music neglects the physicality that defines the political dimension of dance music's relationship to the body.

House Dance incorporates movements from many other sources such as: capoeira, tap, jazz, bebop, salsa, hip-hop, breaking etc. It includes a variety of techniques and sub-styles such as: skating, stomping, and shuffling. There are three basic constituents which lie in the basis of House: Jacking, Footwork and Lofting. Some of the following are the basic steps for the dance style House: Jacking – The original style of House Dance; jacking comes from Chicago. Jacking involves moving the torso forward and backward in a rippling motion, as if a wave were passing through it. This movement is repeated and sped up to match the beat of a song. This technique is considered the most important movement in House dancing because it is the foundation that initiates more complex movements and footwork. Lofting – The oldest of the House styles; it refers to the acrobatic floor-work, similar to break dance but much softer, fluid and sensual. Lofting is all about being smooth and controlled.
