街舞（Street Dance或 Street dancing）诞生于二十世纪六十年代末，是美国黑人城市贫民的舞蹈，到了七十年代它被归纳为嘻哈文化（Hip-Hop Culture）的一部分，具有较强的表演性，参与性和竞争性。
Street Dance (Street Dance or Street dancing) was born in the late 1960s and is a dance of African American urban poor. By the 1970s, it was categorized as part of hip-hop culture, with strong performance, participation, and competitiveness.
1992年初期，出现了一种“原地性的HIP-HOP”，它没有那些大幅度的动作和脚步移动，更没有霹雳舞中那些在地上类似体操的动作。它的独有风格在于注重身体的协调性，重视身体上半身的律动及增加了许多头部、手部的动作。我们在迈克·杰克逊、玛丽亚·凯利、后街男孩的MTV中都可看到这种新风格的舞蹈。[2]
In early 1992, a type of "in-situ HIP HOP" emerged, which did not involve significant movements and foot movements, let alone the gymnastics like movements on the ground in breakdancing. Its unique style lies in emphasizing body coordination, emphasizing the rhythm of the upper body, and adding many head and hand movements. We can see this new style of dance in MTV performances by Michael Jackson, Maria Kelly, and Backstreet Boys. [2]

街舞中国青少年最早接触街舞，始自20世纪80年代的美国电影《霹雳舞》，当时的霹雳舞（Break Dance）就是Breaking的前身。随着中国青少年对街舞理解的深入，他们逐步回归街舞的本源，以中国青少年自己的眼光和特点来实践街舞。
Street dance is the first street dance that Chinese teenagers were exposed to, starting from the American movie "Breakdance" in the 1980s, when Break Dance was the predecessor of Breaking. As Chinese teenagers deepen their understanding of street dance, they gradually return to the origin of street dance and practice it with their own eyes and characteristics.
除了早期的霹雳舞，自上世纪90年代中开始，全国各地青少年就已经开始习练街舞。北京、上海、广州因为资讯发达，街舞开展比较早
Apart from early breakdancing, teenagers from all over the country have been practicing street dance since the mid-1990s. Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou started street dance relatively early due to their advanced information technology
