Although street dance has just started in Macau, many people are fascinated by it. In fact, how charming is it to lure so many teenagers to practice a discipline which is so difficult and hard?

Every night, there are no less than 15 teenagers who get together to do a street dance outside the Macau Cultural Centre after 9 o'clock. Since the space in Macau is limited, street dancers often find themselves to have no choice but to dance on the roadsides. Most of the time, they are stopped by the police, leading them to give up dancing again and again. This may be one of the reasons why it is difficult to popularize street dance in Macau.

Furthermore, street dance is not viewed positively as it brings inconvenience to local residents because street dancers frequently practice late at night. So, people tend to think these teenagers idle away their time by dancing. "Due to these negative views, we cannot build up our confidence or set up our goal," said Wilson Leung, a secondary school student who has been learning street dance for three years,

"I think street dance is just a kind of sport. If parents support us, it may help teenagers to build up confidence and grow to maturity," said Joseph Chu, a secondary school student who has been learning street dance for two years.
