『休閒作為一種潮』：街舞運動的符號，規範，與文化　

現代社會中，街舞顯然已成為一種不可或缺的文化活動，不但是呈現文化的載體，在特定的時空背景下更成為文化中的核心符號，甚至隨著時間累積文化能量，進而擴大進化成為一種當代的流行文化形式，街舞又是以怎麼樣的樣貌與形式存在於現今社會中？本研究的目的乃是以文化的意涵為論述的基礎，了解街舞在文化層次中所扮演的角色，並透過文獻分析法，探討街舞的概念如何透過不同的文化層次在當今社會中如何被執行，被利用，與被定義，另外，透過參與觀察與深入訪談法，老師7位，學生4位，讓我們一窺文化內部最真實的聲音，透過他們的內心世界與文獻分析結果再作比對，剖析出問題根源，盼給予文化推廣上一點的助力，最後將街舞重新定位，找到其在社會大眾心中的文化層次。 經由資料分析過程，本研究結果如下：

一、在多層次的文化討論中，街舞的概念以本質，載體，風格，區別與抵抗，潮，以及消費工具的方式，與不同的文化層次緊密結合，反映出文化即休閒，休閒即文化的觀點。

二、街舞的不受限、成就感是吸引年輕人為之瘋狂的關鍵，而台灣街舞無明顯的在地性，卻保有日本風格。

三、在歷經幾十年的演變，不設限成為其不變的特色，更是參與者不斷追求的目標，即舞出個人風格。

四、教學者與參與者對街舞認知有明顯認知差異，前者將其定位在藝術層面與生活，後者皆以運動與休閒居多。

五、街舞成為社會消費的工具，僅是藝術作品，僅少數推廣者秉持原創精神，因此將其定位大眾文化層次。
