> For example, in some styles you tend to gather around in a circle and everyone is doing simple moves to mark time, then one person or maybe a small group goes into the middle to do something more impressive, then they step out and let someone else take a turn.

That's also popular in swing/blues scenes. I guess they're all rooted in the same environment in the end so that makes sense.

I'd venture to guess that the specific culture of call-outs and battles in hip hop are different, however.

Yup, similar but not the same :-) Have a look at https://youtu.be/zpeUnWrteQM for solo jazz - the elements are definitely shared.
