街舞是「嘻哈文化」四大元素之一。1970年代，街舞開始出現於紐約市的南布朗克斯，由於大眾傳播與媒體的高度發展，街舞擴散至全球各地，成為展現身體文化的休閒遊憩活動以及影響當代舞風的流行藝術。本研究探究臺北市街舞發展脈絡、教舞及展演場地的分布、並透過實例探討習舞學生居住地點空間分布。研究發現，臺北市街舞發展已近30年，1980年代是萌芽期、1990年代是成長期、2000年代至今為蓬勃發展期。臺北市街舞教學及展演場地主要以大安區、中正區及士林區為核心，隨著新銳教舞者的傳播，已將街舞空間由核心區發展至臺北周邊以及全國各地。
Hip-hop dance is one of the four elements of the 'hip-hop culture'. The culture began in the South Bronx in New York City during 1970s, owing much to the development in media and mass communication. Consequently, hip-hop dance, demonstrating body cultures and leisure activities, quickly spread all over the world and had an impact on contemporary dance styles. This study is to explore the development of Taipei's hip-hop dance, location distribution of learning and performance, as well as student residences in the City, through case analyses. We found that the development of hip-hop dance in Taipei can be traced to the 1980s, and 1990s has reached to a growing and boom stage since 2000s up to the present. Hip-hop dance in Taipei can be classified by the types of action and by time phases. Teaching, learning and performances of hip-hop dance in Taipei have mainly concentrated in three districts; Daan, Jhongzheng and Shilin. Through the learning effort of the young dancers, it is now spreading to other places of the Taipei metropolitan area, and even to the whole island of Taiwan.
