West coast had the g-funk era which brought many types of dance. Gangster Rap music brought on Cwalks, etc., reinvented the glide to a whole different level. West coast added alot more styles to Bboying as well such the use of gymnastic moves, to add to powermoves, like flares, etc.

So Music videos in the 80′s brought on choreagraph dancing but that was all based off streetdancing and still is because there was no other way to broadcast dancing but Music videos. Making everyone do the same thing can be difficult and adds another skill level to hip-hop dancing. As time went by, it became a profession, just like breakdancing is a profession for many. Some came from the streets, some came from the suburbs who learned it in a studio…but from an artform derived from the streets.

Nowadays Kids from the street take on this choreagraph dance in hopes to enter competitions to make something out of themselves and make money along the way. You can’t say there not from the streets because you don’t do choreagraphy in the streets or in the club.

Most choregraphers today do come from the street, and started dancing in the streets, and eventually went to studios to better their skills.

Its all a evolution of music, dance, and yourself to take things to a different level, rather than being stubborn and not changing.

The movie tried to take aspects of every hip-hop dance that evolved from breakdancing and hip-hop music. If you say why don’t they just do breakdancing is like saying why don’t you just play 80′s hip-hop.

C’mon, its hollywood, what do you expect…

anyway i think everyone should watch planet bboy!!

peace!
