The dance industry responded with a studio based version of hip-hop- sometimes called new style- and jazz-funk.Classicaly trained dancers developed these studios styles in order to create choreography from the hip-hop dance that were being performed on thestreat.Because of this development, hop-hop dance is practiced in both dance studios and outdoor spaces.The commercialization of hip-hop dancecontinued in 1990s and 2000s with the production of several other television shows and movies such as The Grind, Dance 360, Planet B-Boy, Rize, StreatDance 3D, American's Best Dance Crew, the Step Up film franchise, and The LXD, a web series.
