The mainstream popularity of viral hit shows like "Street Woman Fighter" and its spin-off "Street Dance Girls Fighter" has brought a rising interest in the culture of street dance among the general public like never before. Dance battles, cyphers, emcees, and a variety of freestyle genres, everyone is fascinated with the "underground dance".
Street Dance is an umbrella term that encompasses street performances like busking, battle culture, and a lot more. Its main attraction is freestyle. A dancer does not rely on choreography but rather a free flow of movements that results from hours of polishing foundations of the respective genres. There's Hip-Hop freestyle, Locking, Popping, Krump, Whacking, House, and various other new styles that stem from them. But it's not just about movements, it's a commitment to the dance form's history and knowledge of culture as well.
