Popping

Popping exists within the Funk and street dance families. Fundamentally, dancers rapidly contract and release the muscles so that the body produces a sensation of jolting or shaking. Practitioners are called Poppers.

Popping broadly encompasses related techniques frequently blended together. Importantly, these related styles differ from the robot, which represents one recognised variant — combined with popping, that combination becomes "robot".

The philosophy: one technique, endless variations — precision is the whole art.
