The counterculture that emerged in the 1960s

The street dance

The Street Dance is one of the most representative forms of dance on events, competitions and dance shows, therefore this study aims to show how the Street Dance emerged and evolved into a general context and how it conquered the stage dance in Brazil, becoming one of the most practiced dances now. It is a descriptive research of investigative character, and it is of qualitative nature. The interviews were conducted with four choreographers who work in the area for over five years: Carlos Neto, Carlos Nunes, Evandir Ferraz (Mike) and William Freitas. The Street Dance does not emerged by itself, it emerged with others elements of the Hip Hop culture, the rap, the MC and the graffiti. We can identify some of its precursors as DJ Afrika Bambaataa, DJ Kool Herc, and singers as James Brown and Michael Jackson. It is a form of dance that has evolved from its earliest manifestations, mainly due to the changes that happened with the music used to dance it, some styles/forms of Street Dance emerged form this as locking, popping, house, freestyle. The Street Dance mode appears in the “Festival de Dança de Joinville” in the mid-nineties and remains in the art scene today.
