Hip-Hop Street Dancing as "Modern Dance?"

[pammalamma]

On the cultural front, after decades of deconstruction, dance seems to have entered an "is it art" phase. These guys appear to be trying to elevate hip-hop to a fine art. However, doesn't that violate the folk nature of hip-hop? Yet, it has happened to many other art forms--look what happened to jazz. Postmodernism is so boring in its failure

Art results from talent, imagination, and expertise. Running backward may qualify as an event, even a sport, but it doesn't mean art to me.
