What is "popping"?
Popping is a dance style that originated in the 1970s, characterized by its technique of quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to create a jerky, "popping" effect. Dancers use these muscle contractions to make their bodies appear as though they are jerking or snapping in rhythm with the music. Popping often involves isolating different body parts and performing moves such as waves, robot-like motions, and locking. It is typically performed to funk, hip hop, or electronic music, and is known for its precise and expressive movements.
