Today, its also common to see popping danced to more current music genres such as modern hip hop music often snap music and various forms of electronica.

This gives room for improvisation and moves that are seldom seen in shows and performances, such as interaction with the other contestants and spectators.

Boogaloo/Electric boogaloo The boogaloo is a loose and fluid style trying to give the impression of a body lacking bones, partly inspired by animated movies and cartoons.

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 as well as a fad dance popular in the 1960s known as the jerk.

!Before anything, I am NOT a professional popper! But yes I *am* Korean though. This goes to show that all Koreans are NOT perfect at popping, locking, and bboying. Anyways, this tutorial was made when I was a beginner. The advice is correct, but the bodily examples had a lot of mistakes. So for beginning/starting/chobo poppers, this might help. That being said, I hope you enjoy this video, and use it at your own discretion by the way .

Hey, it’s me again, Poppin’ Seong Hoon from Biola University ! My last video wasn’t that good, but I hope you enjoy this video more. More importantly, however, please stop saying that my skills in this video was not good. I know that . The explanations are CORRECT though, it’s just that **I** couldn’t do it that well. I already said “I’m not that good” back then. Anyways, I’m much better now, and this video is old news (stop hating, if you don’t like this video you can just leave and that’s fine you know ^_^). Anyways, the three songs used in this video are these. (a new pet peeve is when a person asks what the songs are when it’s been listed RIGHT here ever since the uploading of this video. If you ask, know that you will probably be ignored by yours truly.)

Daft Punk – Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Herbie Hancock – Rockit
Slick Dogg – If You Pop Homie

In addition, know that a number people have asked tips about popping inside my comments section, and I have answered them. So, if you do want to learn how to pop, I suggest going through my comments section to look for answers to your questions and/or just some tips. Also, many other questions has been asked in my other videos too. If it hasn’t be asked, ask away . It’s just that I don’t want to answer the same question repeatedly … and yes, the intro was freestyle .

That all being said, thanks so much for enjoying this video ! (Elisha Kim is my English name, by the way, if you’re confused by that name in the tags)

I also have 3 other videos, please enjoy ^_^

Strobing Using the same principle as dime stopping, but movements between halts should be shorter, and as quick and regular as possible to give the impression that the dancer is moving within a strobe light.

Normally performed alone or with a partner acting as the puppet master pulling the strings.

When using popping as an umbrella term, these can be considered a part of popping.

Having its root in the late 1970s dance club scene, popping is commonly danced to dance and pop music of that time, such as funk, disco and electro.
