Dance Styles

Street dance is an upbeat ‘funky’ and current style of dance often used in commercial and pop videos.

Street dance is a very popular style of dance especially amongst young people as it encourages individualism, it’s interactive, fun and uses music which they like and can relate to. Street dance originated from outside of traditional dance studios. Within street dance, there is a variety of different style characteristics such as funk, break dancing and hip-hop. There has been a renewed hype increase due to the popularity of Diversity in Britain’s Got Talent in 2009. Street Dance is full of high-energy movements.

Students are encouraged to take their medal tests in Street which are taken in a very relaxed and encouraging environment. For those who work hard and gain a strong level of confidence, an invitation to join one of our performance crews may become available. This would mean having the chance to compete in Street competitions as well as other performance opportunities. All crew members MUST also be studying at least one other dance styles at Mad4Dance as well as continuing with their weekly street class.
