Street Dance Choreography

 


Street Dance Choreography-But wait! Unlike many other dance forms, dancers interpret the existing moves freely and even invent new ones to create a personal style of their own. Improvisation is the heart of most street dances, though actual street dance choreography is also seen, mostly mixed with improvisation or used for prepared shows (in which a lot of Street Dance choreography is seen).

At the heart of Street dance and its choreography is hip-hop. Street dance used 'uprockin' fighting moves countered by 'downrockin'.
Later, West coast  street dance styles like locking, popping and boogaloo caught on, around the 70's, and then hip hop new style and house dance around the 1980s. Street dance moves got gradually more acrobatic showing off their backspins, headspins, windmills and the suicide.

Today, street dance being mixed with other more traditional dance forms, Dance teachers and choreographers took street dance from the streets and into the studios and incorporated street dance choreography in the structure, arrangement, the makeup, and configuration of jazz dance.  

a lot of people are against street dance being incorporated into 'studio dance' due to the want of keeping the constitution, rareness, distinctiveness, and individuality of street dance and street dance choreography.

Incorporating the genuine street dance choreography into [for example] jazz choreography created controversy among individual street dancers or crews as to who was the originator of a dance, especially when it becomes popular.
