Street Dance - A street dance is a dance style that evolved outside dance studios in any available open space such as
streets, dance parties, block parties, parks, school yards, raves, and nightclubs. The term is used to describe vernacular
dances in urban context.

as part of hip-hop culture. It includes a wide range of styles primarily breaking which was created in the 1970s and made
popular by dance crews in the United States.

B-Boying - Breakdancing, also called breaking or b-boying/b-girling, is an athletic style of street dance. While diverse in
the amount of variation available in the dance, breakdancing mainly consists of four kinds of movement:
toprock, downrock, power moves and freezes.

Toprock -Toprock is a major element of b-boying and b-girling (breakdance). It generally refers to foot movement
performed from a standing position, relying upon a mixture of coordination, flexibility, rhythm, and most importantly,
style.

Downrock - Floorwork in b-boying (breakdancing) includes floor-based footwork, or downrock, as well as certain more
athletic power moves. Downrock is performed with the body supported on the hands and feet. It allows the dancer to
display their proficiency with foot speed and control by performing intricate footwork combinations.

Freezes - A freeze is a b-boying technique that involves halting all body motion, often in an interesting or
balance-intensive position. It is implied that the position is hit and held from motion as if freezing in motion, or into ice. ...
Spins are often combined with freezes, and the spins are usually done in the form of kicks.

Power moves - Power moves are moves loosely defined as relying on speed, momentum, and acrobatic elements for
performance. They are prominent in B-boying, often the centerpieces of routines featuring the other elements (toprock,
downrock, and freezes) that make up breaking.

1980s. The dance is based on the technique of quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to cause a jerk in
the dancer's body, referred to as a pop or a hit.

Locking - Locking is a style of funk dance, which is today also associated, but not to be confused with hip hop. The name
is based on the concept of locking movements, which basically means freezing from a fast movement and "locking" in a
certain position, holding that position for a short while and then continuing in the same speed as before.
