Street Dance:

Street Dance literally gained its title from the "street" - the location where many of the popular techniques originated.  It is the umbrella term for dance styles that were developed in an outdoor inner-city environment (as oppose to in the indoor studios where many classical and contemporary styles were studied) by young people from the late 70's and onwards.  Street Dance styles include Bboying (break dancing), Funk styles (Popping and Locking), House Dance, as well as routine choreography of an "urban" nature, which now includes elements of New Jack Swing, NY Style, Jazz Funk and Gymnastics. Street Dance is now the most prolific dance style in the UK, with a huge industry following. Forms of Street Dance styles can be seen in many music videos, backing major label music artists across the globe. More recently it has become the theme for Hollywood movie projects and reality television shows.
