In "West Side Story," the street dance serves as a powerful representation of 1950s gang culture by showcasing the intense rivalry and camaraderie between the Jets and the Sharks. The choreography reflects both the aggression and the unity within the gangs, emphasizing their struggle for identity and territory in a rapidly changing urban landscape. The dance also highlights the social tensions of the era, including issues of race, class, and youth rebellion, encapsulating the vibrancy and violence of street life during that time. Overall, it illustrates how dance can be both a form of expression and a means of conflict resolution among the youth.

Its called "street dance" because it originated on city streets in the late 1980's and early 1999's. It was a way for gangs to stop trying to kill each other. :)

In "West Side Story," the police are unable to effectively communicate with the gangs due to the deep-rooted tensions and animosities between them. The rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks creates an environment of mistrust and hostility, making it difficult for law enforcement to mediate or intervene. Additionally, the gangs operate outside the law and are resistant to outside authority, viewing police as adversaries rather than allies. This lack of communication exacerbates the violence and conflict within the community.
Girl gangs were mostly out of family problems and guy gangs were from other problems like, lack or full of money, outside appearence, or from different level of crimes.

No, all the violence in West Side Story is done as strictly choreographed dance and there were no real gangs with those names when the musical, West Side Story, was written.

Most of the time cops are just as bad(if not worse) than the gangs we already have out on the streets.
