Popping is a street dance style that originated in Fresno California in the late 1970s. Its roots trace back to working class youth of color making the most of limited resources, like many other street dance styles. Popping’s rhythmic contractions of the muscles are accented by a sudden jerk, called a “pop” or a “hit”. The movement is repeated over and over again at regular intervals timed to the beat. Other funk dance styles including boogaloo, animation, ticking, robot dancing and strutting can be combined with popping to create various movements, poses and techniques.
The Strobing movement is a form of popping that allows the dancer to make it look as though they are moving within a strobe light. This is a difficult technique to master as it requires precise timing and distance between each move.
