What is Street Dance?

The term street dance emerged in Indonesia, probably around the early or mid 1990s, after the entry of hip hop to Indonesia. I say probably because I have not found references about exactly when this term is used in Indonesia, but I can confirm that at least this symbiotic dance street hip hop culture in Indonesia. It is quite evident from the flow of street dance that developed in Indonesia first, like bboying, which is taking roots of hip hop culture. Although there are also popping stemming the flow of funk music, but hip-hop then absorb this flow to be assimilated in it. Because of this reason that later lead to the assumption that the street dance = bboying in Indonesia, although there might be some debate about the proper use of this term, good and true.
