Street dance was created in the 1970s and made popular by Afro-American dance crews in America. Evolved as part of hip-hop culture as graffiti, rap and DJ etc., street dance was spread to the whole world gradually.
街舞起源于20世纪70年代左右，一开始在美国黑人群体中流行，是黑人帮派之间的斗争——斗舞（battle），属于打架斗殴的文明版。后来随着嘻哈文化的流行（比如涂鸦、rap、DJ等等），街舞也渐渐流行开来。
In the 1990s, street dance was introduced to China. Back then breaking was the most popular form and was initially considered as an inappropriate activity by most Chinese parents. Afterwards as the popularization of hop-hop culture, street dance is gaining popularity in China.
街舞传入中国是20世纪90年代，当初叫做所谓的霹雳舞（breaking），并且很长一段时间里被认为是“不良少年”的一种活动。不过还好，随着街舞文化的普及，已经逐渐被广大人民普遍接受了。
