Street dances are dance styles that evolved （逐渐;演变）outside of dance studios in any available open spaces. They are often improvisational （即兴的）and social in nature, encouraging interaction（互 动）and contact with audiences and the other dancers. These dances generally evolve out of urban and suburban spaces and are a part of the native culture of that geographical area. Some examples of street dances include B-boying, or breakdancing, which originated in New York City, and the Mel bourne Shuffle, which originated in Melbourne, Australia.
Street dances are dances that evolve among people in a social environment, although it cannot be ways determined as to how they actually do evolve among people. In theory, as one person comes up with a move that looks good to another person, that other person tries to copy that move. Similar to the game of Chinese Whispers, the effect is that the other person cannot absolutely perform that move the same way as the other person, thus leading to the dancer creating their own style or an entirely new move.
There is a small difference between an entirely freestyle dance and an absolute street dance. While a freestyle dance is random and a personal dance invented by a single person （even if it's based on someone else's dance style）, a full street dance is a collection of the various similar dance moves and styles collected into one practice and regarded as the same dance. For example, when B-boying evolved out of early hip-hop culture, people came up with their own moves, and other people improved them. Street dances constantly evolve for as long as they are, now and then practiced and regarded as the same dance. All the moves danced to breaks in hip-hop culture were regarded as B-boying.
Sometimes it is possible to trace back street dance styles that were mostly pioneered by specific persons. One example is Locking, which is often regarded as being started by Don Campbell, who was a 1970s pioneer of American street dances. Most of the time it is impossible to owe street dances to specific people; since the dances evolve outside of professional dance environments, and there is no social or legal record. Street dance pioneers also rarely have professional degrees in dance, thus distin guishing street dances from other modern dance forms.
