Popping

Popping is a funk dance and street dance style based on the technique of quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to cause a jerk in the dancer's body, referred to as a pop or a hit. This is done continuously to the rhythm of a song in combination with various movements and poses.[1] A popping dancer is commonly referred to as a popper.
Popping is also used as an umbrella term for a group of closely related illusionary dance styles and techniques that are often integrated with popping to create a more varied performance (see below).[2]
It is generally believed that the dance evolved in Fresno, California in the 1970s, partly inspired by locking.[3][4][5][6] Like other street dances, popping is often performed in battles, trying to outperform another dancer or group of dancers in front of a crowd. This gives room for improvisation and moves that are seldom seen in shows and performances, such as interaction with the other contestants and spectators.
Today, popping has been incorporated into both the hip hop and electronica dance scenes to some extent।

Breakdance and Hip Hop

The original B-Boy generation consists of classic B-Boying, Electric Boogaloo, Popping, Locking, Uprocking, MCing, "beat boxing", DJing and Aerosol Art. Some of these forms have been around individually, until 1974, when a defined name entitled "Hip Hop" was derived by Afrika Bambaattaa. Hip Hop united all of these different elements. Uprock is one dance that has been developing in the late 1960s, before any of these dances were even united under Hip Hop.

It is stated that if there were no Uprockers back in the late 60's we would not have the Break-dancers (media's term for B-Boys) today. Breakdance now reappears in the streets and clubs of New York City as it did in the early 80's. From the beginning, Uprock's "Jerks", "Burns", and "Freestyle" were and are the three main movements used in this dance art form, and is still being used in today's B-Boying. The modified Uprock in Breakdance is called Toprock. Uprock does have many similar "Down Rocking", (known as Boing Oing) that b-boys use. "Uprocking the downrocking" part soon evolved to become "B-Boying", which the Bronx took to the next level with the addition of spins

Uprock

Uprock is a soulful, competitive street dance. It is danced in synchronization to the rhythms of Soul, Rock and Funk music. The dance consists of foot shuffles, spins, turns, freestyle movements, sudden body movements called "jerks" and hand gestures called "burns". Uprock is said to be mastered with discipline, patience, heart, soul, and knowledge. Back in the day, nobody was teaching Uprock. It was about watching and learning, then executing by experience in a dance competition. In Brooklyn there were contests every two weeks, with crews battling it out.

Toprock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
• Ten things you may not know about Wikipedia •Jump to: navigation, search
Toprock is a major element of breakdance. It generally refers to any string of steps performed from a standing position, relying upon a mixture of coordination, flexibility, rhythm, and most importantly, style. It is usually the first and foremost opening display of style, and it serves as a warm-up for transitions into the more acrobatic maneuvers of downrock. Breakers may devote considerable time to developing their toprock, and the style they display is a point of pride.

It is a style of dance in and of itself, but it is very open to modification for individual style. For the same reason, it has come to incorporate elements that range widely from Liquid dancing to the Robot. In particular, uprock is a competitively-oriented type of toprock consisting of foot shuffles, spins, turns, and creative movements that may mimic combat. It was developed from the "Ginga", a footwork pattern used in capoeira, which was taught to youth in African-American community centers as a method of developing self-esteem and character.

Series: How to Breakdance

Breakdancing first moonwalked its way onto the cultural scene from the South Bronx in the 1970s. Hip hop and breakbeat pioneer Kool Dj Herc is generally credited with being the first to loop together sections of beats from funk, jazz, disco, R & B and early electronica to create a rhythmic base for dancers to showcase their skills. The innovative and complex combination of moves, which became what we call breakdance, was used first as a method of settling gang turf wars, but soon evolved into a pop-cultural phenomenon in which dance groups like the world-famous Rock Steady Crew introduced the dance craze to the mainstream.

The popularity of breakdancing waned by the late 1980s, but has been recently rediscovered by a new generation of dancers who perform in professional competitions. While taking breakdance lessons might seem to violate the very ethos of the “streets” movement which spawned the genre, no one will ever know you learned the basics of breakdancing in a free online video course. Our expert dance instructor demonstrates the foundations of up-rocking, popping, locking, the six step, and power moves like flares, windmills, turtles, and freezes. Get all you’ll need to ensure you don’t “get served” during your next battle.
