History

In the late 1970s, a popping group called Electric Boogaloos (earlier known as the Electronic Boogaloo Lockers) from California greatly contributed to the spread of popping, partly because of their appearance on the television program Soul Train.^[3] The Electric Boogaloo is a Street dance or Urban Dance group that focused on a style called the electric boogaloo, a variant of popping. ... This article is about the U.S. state. ... Soul Train is a long-running music-related syndicated television program. ...

The Electric Boogaloos themselves state that around the years 1975-1976 their founder Sam Solomon (a.k.a. Boogaloo Sam) created a set of movements that evolved into the styles known today as popping and boogaloo after being inspired by one of the pioneer locking groups known as The Lockers^[7] as well as a fad dance popular in the 1960s known as the jerk.^[8] While dancing, Sam would say the word "pop" everytime he flexed his muscles, eventually leading to the dance being called popping.^[1] Many confirm the Electric Boogaloos' story that Boogaloo Sam came up with the basics of popping.^[4][5][6] Electric boogaloo is a style of funk dance and street dance closely related to popping. ... Locking (originally Campbellocking) is a style of funk dance and street dance, which is today also associated with hip hop. ... The Lockers (originally named The Campbellock Dancers) was a pioneer funk dance and locking group active throughout the 1970s. ... Fad dances are dances which are characterized by a short burst of popularity, while Novelty dances typically have a longer-lasting popularity based on their being characteristically humourous or humour-invoking, as well as the sense of uniqueness which they have. ...

Other closely related styles, such as the robot, are known to have existed prior to popping,^[3] and some state that even popping itself existed in some forms in the late 1960s in Oakland, California before the Electric Boogaloos was formed, and that the style cannot be traced to a specific person or group.^[9] This is less controversial regarding various related styles, which the Electric Boogaloos themselves acknowledge: "While Sam was creating popping and boogaloo, others were creating and practicing unique styles of their own. Back in the day many different areas in the west coast were known for their own distinct styles, each with their own rich history behind them. Some of these areas included Oakland, Sacramento and San Francisco."^[1] The robot (or mannequin) is an illusionary dance style often confused with popping that attempts to imitate a dancing robot or mannequin. ... Oakland redirects here. ...

The mainstream media contributed to the spread of popping and its related styles through movies such as Breakin', but also introduced a naming confusion by putting them all under the label breakdance, conflicting with the distinct floor-oriented dance by the same name (at that time known as breaking). Michael Jackson also helped popularize popping related styles such as the robot and moves such as the moonwalk, but introduced a new naming confusion as the moonwalk was already known by a different name in popping contexts (the backslide, see floating) before Jackson made the move famous.^[10] This article is about the 1984 movie; for other breakin or breaking references see breaking. ...

Terminology

Popping is the name given to a specific style of street dance. The name was coined by Boogaloo Sam, the founder of the pioneer popping group the Electric Boogaloos, when he used the word "pop" everytime he flexed his muscles to perform the characteristic popping technique.^[1] A girl hip hop dancing, a very broad and common category of street dance. ... The Electric Boogaloo is a Street dance or Urban Dance group that focused on a style called the electric boogaloo, a variant of popping. ...

Through the years, popping has also become a popular umbrella term for a group of closely related styles and techniques that have often been combined or danced together with popping,^[2] some of which are seldom seen outside of popping contexts. However, the use of popping as an umbrella term has been criticized, on the grounds that its many related styles must be clearly separated as those who specialize in more specific styles mustn't be classified as poppers.^[1]

Another term, pop-locking, gained popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s in some circles around Los Angeles as a general slang term for popping and its integrated styles. The term is controversial because some believe it generates connotative confusion by incorporating the word "locking", which also is the name of another distinct style of street dance (see locking) that is generally kept separate from popping compared to its more integrated styles. Funk styles is another umbrella term, encouraged by the Electric Boogaloos, for both popping, locking and related dance styles that were created on the West Coast of the United States during the funk era.^[1] Locking (originally Campbellocking) is a style of funk dance and street dance, which is today also associated with hip hop. ... Funk dance or funk styles refer to dance styles that were originally danced to funk music. ... Regional definitions vary from source to source. ... For other uses, including related musical genres, see Funk (disambiguation). ...

Characteristics

Popping is centered around the technique of popping (or hitting), which means to quickly contract and relax muscles to create a jerking effect (a pop or hit) in the popper's body. Popping can be concentrated to specific body parts, creating variants such as arm pops, leg pops, chest pops and neck pops,^[11] and can vary in explosiveness. Stronger pops normally involve popping both the lower and upper body simultaneously.

Normally, pops are performed at regular intervals timed to the beat of the music, causing the dance to appear very rhythmic in nature, and are often combined with stopping and holding a pose right before the pop. A common technique of transitioning between poses is the so called dime stop, heavily utilized in robot dancing as well, which basically means to end a movement with an abrupt halt (thus "stopping on a dime"), after which a pop normally occurs. putang ina. ... The robot (or mannequin) is an illusionary dance style often confused with popping that attempts to imitate a dancing robot or mannequin. ...

Poses in popping make heavy use of angles, mime style movements and facial expressions, and the lower body has many ways to move around, from basic walking and stepping to the more complex and gravity defying styles of floating and electric boogaloo. Movements and techniques used in popping are generally focused on sharp contrasts, being either robotic and rigid or very loose and flowing. This article is about angles in geometry. ...
