Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the ideological roots of street dancing and explore the artistic value of street dancing. The study was conducted in the following perspectives. First, we explore how street culture, the ideological source of street dance, has been created and evolved. As a result, Street Culture is a subculture of Hispanics and blacks in the United States, whose true meaning is to deny their reality and society according to the times, resembling a spirit of hope for peace and freedom, not antisocial. I could see that it was a culture of youth entertainment and lifestyle itself. Second, to consider the artistic value of street dance, the artistic value of street dance was variously considered by applying each definition to the examples of street dance, including six theories(Imitationism, Expressionism, Formalism,The Impossibility of Art Justice, Institutionism, Pluralism) representing art definitions defined by many philosophers from ancient times to modern times. The results show that street dancing includes all the universal definitions of art represented by philosophers from ancient times to modern times. Although discussing artistic value through the universal definition of art as a study in the field of dance art is not a new perspective, street dance, which is already recognized as an artistic activity in the field of art, unfortunately lacks academic research. Therefore, this study aims to record street dancing as an academic foundation for moving toward one of the new arts in the field of dance and art, if not from a new perspective.
