This paper presents a starting point in the authors' journey towards the creation of a programme for a Physical Education and Sport elective that includes elements of Hip Hop Culture, specifically a Street Dance elective. The practice of Street Dance can bring innumerable benefits to students in Romanian schools, as it has already been demonstrated that dancing has a positive impact on both the physical and psychological human being. Whether we are talking about improving psychomotor capacities or cognitive abilities, dance can have a positive impact on a person's life and more than that, it can also help a person's social integration. The opinion of potential participants in this activity, teachers, and students, is a very important point of interest, and it is of interest to find out their position on this phenomenon
