Popping

Coast: West Coast.
Style:  Funk Style traditionally performed to Funk Music.  
          Jerky movements resulting from flexing and contracting muscles.

There are over 25 different styles of popping.  

Note:  Popping and Locking are two separate styles.  Pop N Lock does not exist.  It is believed that the term "pop n lock"  was created because dancers would go from popping straight into locking, causing the untrained viewer to believe they were the same style.  This is similar to a dancing a 32 count adagio followed by a 32 count jazz combo and saying that the style is "bazz."

HISTORY OF POPPING
The Electric Boogaloos
In the mid 70's, a teenager in Northern California named Sam Solomon began creating his own style of dance that was inspired by The Lockers (aka the Campbellock Dancers).  He used abrupt stops and large, circular hip movements.  Often times, he would take inspiration from different motions and characters - such as the "old man" walk.  The story goes that as Sam was dancing around his house one day, his uncle said "yeah boy!  Do that boogaloo!" ("Boogaloo" came from the song "Do That Boogaloo" by James Brown).  Sam asked "What's a boogaloo"? And his uncle told him "It means you're gettin' down!".  After that, Sam was known as "Boogaloo Sam."  This conversation later served as the inspiration for the name of the "Electric Boogaloo Lockers," a group of which Sam was one of the founders, along with his cousin Pete.  The group eventually dropped the word "Lockers" from their name, and danced Boogaloo as its own style.  Like the Lockers/Campbellock Dancers, the Electric Boogaloos got their break on Soul Train.  

Boogaloo was characterized by:  Fluidity, use of every part of the body, rolling of the hips, knees, + head, 

Their style was a combination of locking, the Robot, and the smooth isolations of mime.  

Sam also began the style of Popping.  Popping was characterized by jerky movements resulting from flexing and contracting muscles.  When Sam was popping.  When Sam flexed his muscles, he would mutter "Pop, Pop" under his breath.  That is how this style became known as popping.  

Combining boogaloo and popping creates "Electric Boogaloo Style."

  
Styles of Popping:  Air Posing, Animation, Boogaloo, Bopping, Centipede, Crazy Legs, Filmore, Floating/Gliding, Hitting, Robot, Saccin, Snaking, Spiderman, Sticking, Strutting, Tutting, Waving.
