Street dance is an energetic and exciting type of dance. It started with the people dancing in the street rather than in a studio(练功房).
Breakdancing and the Melbourne Shuffle are two examples of street dance. Many of the hip - pop dances are popular street dance. Even rave dancing is a type of street dance. Street dance changes and improves all the time as people try different moves. It is a form of dancing that young people really enjoy.
A school in Britain has seen how street dance has helped its pupils. They introduced it as a subject at school. Dance teachers went to the school to teach the students how to perform. The dances were rehearsed at lunch breaks and after school. Many of the students were from homes with many problems. The students also used to behave badly.
When the street dance classes started, it seemed to solve many of these problems. The students felt that they could express their feelings in dancing. If they were angry, they could do some of the dance moves and throw away those feelings. If they were annoyed about something, dancing helped them to be more peaceful. Another good thing was that the students felt better about themselves.
The students focused on other subjects more. They got better grades. Taking part in the street dancing also taught the students to work better with others. They needed discipline(纪律) to come to practise and to learn the dance steps. They entered a dance competition and won! This was very good for them. The younger students began following them. They are active role models.
Today bands have formed that combine(结合) singing with street dance. Street dance is becoming a popular culture.
