尬舞
尬舞又叫battle,是街舞专业用语,俗称斗舞,指相互舞蹈的比较,而其中以breaking为主,因为breaking天生就是用来尬舞的一种舞蹈,极具爆炸力,感染力,和火药味。现在多形容不懂跳舞的人对扭身体,使场面一度尴尬的动作。

seems like it originally meant a break dancing dance-off but it seems mostly to be (wrongly(?)) used to talk about choreographed group dances

see: http://www.baidu.com/link?url=HP5t1SmbHLuRnaJOq0BtN7qT7zwGzZ_Fbzyj0P-kvG3oc8nH0fIh_TyCBN3z7VATYElUX9MX4foO4hjf_pbNbK&wd=&eqid=8e974ccf000037bb0000000559413b40 [婚礼上尬舞] - it's just a choreographed group dance

and:
一个印度婚礼至少尬舞三天 整身装备上哪儿买?
Bollywood dancing? It can only be a choreographed group dance....

or 街舞 has just been understood as any outside dancing?

Editor:
The Baidu article you referenced gives the two basic meanings:
1) the "dance-off" sense you submitted
2) 由于使用了“尴尬”的“尬”字,“尬舞”又衍生出新的含义:嘲讽舞姿不佳的人胡乱扭动身体,使场面尴尬的场景。(i.e. weird dancing)

Lots of examples of dancing that are labelled "尬舞" (weird dancing) are done by choreographed groups.
But you can't conclude that 尬舞 *means* choreographed group dancing.

e.g. 父亲在女儿婚礼上的尬舞合集
https://www.bilibili.com/video/av18672161/
The father and daughter do a choreographed dance together at the daughter's wedding.
But 尬舞 refers to the weird dance moves, not the fact that it's choreographed dancing.

+ 尬舞 尬舞 [ga4 wu3] /(slang) to battle each other in street dancing (derived from Taiwanese 較, which sounds similar to Mandarin 尬[ga4])/(slang) to perform weird dance moves/
