[edit] Edits moved from article
I removed the following text about a regional hip hop event from the article:
There is also currently a major even held every Monday night at Londons 'the jump off' where crews compete for money and the glory of eventually winning £1000 if they stay top for 10 weeks.

- In that same vein, what bothers me about this article is that it's completely devoid of any clue as to where this form of dance is going on. Is this particular to the U.S.? Somewhere else? World-wide? Some context, please. --ILike2BeAnonymous 01:03, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] other articles
PlainJane 07:56, 1 April 2006 (UTC) I have recently begun and article on a similar topic: African American vernacular dance which is discussing similar issues, yet in a specific cultural context. This article could be absorbed into a new article 'vernacular dance', or else much of the information could be added to the hip hop culture article. 'street dance' is, however, a common term referring to 'vernacular dances'.
- Nice new article! Though I don't know much about the term, judging from the article content I would say that African American vernacular dance and street dance could remain separate articles. Even though most street dances of today are African American vernacular dances, the term street dance is not culture specific, which is why it would not be fair to merge it with hip hop culture either (some street dance styles are considered funk dances, for example).
- However, as the articles are clearly related, I'd like them to link to each other, maybe in the introduction section?

- I did some changes to street dance to make it link to African American vernacular dance. Wintran 23:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
