INTRODUCTION

“Hip-hop is more than music. It has crossed cultural boundaries that other music genres never
crossed. Hip-hop is not only the music you listen to, but the way you walk, talk, dress, and act. Hip- hop is a
state of mind. An entire generation, thirty year strong. We are hip- hop generation. Rap is what we do. Hip-
hop. Hip-hop is how we live!‟‟. KRS One, Rapper and Architect of Hip-hop

Hip-hop culture is from the African-American group of people who were looking for a creative outlet
to vent their frustrations and disappointments with society (Dimalanta, 2006). It started with funky beats
reverberating at house or basement parties and the streets of New York. According to Aldridge and Steward
(2005), it has developed as a „‟cultural and artistic phenomenon affecting the youth worldwide as it reflects
the social, economic, political, and cultural realities and conditions of their lives, speaking to them in a
language and manner they understand‟‟.

On the other hand, street dance is one of the newest dance genres in the 20th century that
immensely attracts the new generation particularly the youth. It came from the African-American hip-hop
culture that tremendously spread worldwide.
