Popping (Dance Style)

SK3K · Mar-03-06, 10:10 AM

I've been poppin' for 4 years. For those of you who've never heard of it, it's the flexing/tensing of the muscles (arms, chest, neck, and legs mostly - a few use their abs too) to the beat. I'm not sure if it has any benefits to muscle strength, but it does increase endurance.

Is there a question?

Dimestopping is when you just move your arms/legs or body around without tensing the muscles to get a true popping effect.

i think popping is way cooler than bboying, it's a lot harder to get really good at. also, you can do it anywhere: popping while you are making a sandwich is particularly hardcore.

Sounds cool.
I've got to check out this popping thing..
But im guessing you must be flexible and actually have some
knowledge of break-dancing? 0_o

Just sudden sharp stops in movement. Does not require flexing or tensing. It is the basis of the robot.

Here's some clips of me:

Hard to see actual pops tho with clothes on and my cam isn't that sharp.

Here's a clip of a Korean group:

First little part is locking by Originality crew. Hard to get a clip of true popping because we (poppers) mix in other styles such as boogaloo, waving, tutting, snaking, etc.
