Recent years has seen the rise of "Street Dance" as a UK phenomenon, from its diversity in bridging possible gaps between members of the young community to international recognition.

But what is it?
With Street Dance acts Flawless and Diversity both serving up heart felt
and passionate performances at the 2009 Britain's Got Talent finals, and
reaching over 20 million viewers, Street Dance has been firmly cemented
on the map.
Is it an umbrella term used to classify a range of techniques, like the way multicultural is used to explain societies, or is it a stand-alone technique that has it's own vocabulary.
Universal Dance Theatre is delighted to welcome five reputable figures of dance to share their first hand knowledge and experience, to give their insight and help to open the lines of communication that could potentially answer this question.
