::popping dance::

  :popping:

     Popping is a dance popularized by the Electric Boogaloos whose basic principle is the contraction and relaxation of muscles in rhythm. The beat transpires through the contractions used by the dancer at well chosen (the claps, snares, etc..) That enable it to appropriate music. The popping, like locking, dancing is a part of funkstyles. Indeed, these dances have taken their first steps on the funk to the late 19701, and 19802 years, when the Electric Boogaloo showed the world the dance style they had to invent, particularly through the shows television as train3 Soul. Now, this style is danced on several other musical styles such as Rap, Crunk or Dancehall. Of course, the popping is not limited solely to the G-Funk, funk styles that best suit their heavy and steady beat, to the extent that any good dancer can adapt to any style of music

  :frequent confusion:

The popping is often confused with other urban dance styles:
     First, the popping is not break dancing, the latter being a New York dance that dance floor. The popping is a dance that is danced standing California.
     Similarly, the popping is not named smurf. According to Bruce's crew ykanji, founder of Just dance championship standing, the term "smurf" is an invention française4. Indeed, when the popping arrived in France, nobody knew how to name it. This name is taken from the soundtrack of American film The Smurfs (The Smurfs to the EU), which was titled Let's Do The Smurf (Imitate the Smurfs) and whose clip shows poppers (dancers popping); an excerpt aired on the news is the cause of misunderstanding among the general public

:Principle of popping:

The popping is based on three basic principles: the hits, insulation and angles.
     The hits, or contractions, as we mentioned above, are the contraction of muscles in the body in rhythm with key parts of the music. There is no contract at every turn to remove any risk of the groove of the dance. Each song was thought he would be a shame not to think about when you turn it dance. Therefore, we must try to find the key parts of the music to be able to place some special tricks (eg ticking), or properly apply his hits (snare, claps, etc.). The body is composed of many muscles, the visual impact of the hits appear even stronger if one happens to contract many muscles (legs, torso, arms, and even throat), style, well obviously.

     The insulation comes from robotting, which as its name suggests is a technique consisting of mime gestures to imitate a robot. This is to isolate each part of his body to be able to activate independently of the others to create a visual effect. This principle is reflected in many basic movements such as the neck-o-flex, which is based on the isolation of the head relative to the rest of the body.

     Finally the angles, especially practiced in the tutting, consist simply move his limbs with aesthetics. Indeed, the visual effect is more significant when the movements are performed with well-chosen angles

.:Basic movements:

There are several basic movements in popping:
We can cite for example the Twisto-Flex is to separately turn the head, body and legs in different orders. Another of these movements is the Neck-o-Flex, which is very similar. This is turning only the head and the rest of the body, but when you turn one of these parts one must rotate 180 °. The Walkout is not a base with many variations that is moving with a certain groove, refer to the explanation of sam5 boogaloo. Techniques used by Michael Jackson gliding including the moonwalk and airwalk other. The tutting, which is called Tetris in French, is to conduct rapid and angular movements with his hands in the manner of Egyptian drawings
:The history of popping, a heated debate:
It is difficult to date and accurate paternity grant to a particular movement. Officially, the popping was created around 1978 by the Electric Boogaloos, and especially by the founder of this company, Sat Boogaloo However, a very similar dance was already dancing in the streets of San Francisco and Oakland from early 1970s, as evidenced by the existence of groups such as Close Encounter Of The Funkiest Kind.

Therefore, it is difficult to say who is behind this dance, as both parties say the same tenacity with their respective versions. Wish to undertake a historical neutral is equally difficult, since these dance moves were invented by dancers mostly anonymous, or just having distorted the movement of another dancer (not enough to have invented it for some) , etc..

When this dance has appeared in public in the 1980s, it seemed new to popular opinion, but its roots are actually deeply rooted in the different layers of American immigration, from around the world, have brought each of water to his mill

:Robert Shields:

Although not a mime and a dancer, Robert Shields has greatly inspired the popping. He and his wife Lorene Yarnell occurred in street performances (mainly in Union Square in San Francisco in the 1970s) during which they perfected the art of the robot. Shields greatly inspired the dancers for his ability to isolate parts of his body, his blocking and his articulation sequences.
Different Styles

:Animation:

Style very popular in Japan, as evidenced by the level of crews such as U-min7 or Hamutsun Serve8, more than a dance, it is to feel the music through dance to an extreme so that the visual and 'auditory merge

.
:Ticking:

The ticking is a technique that involves tensing his muscles at high speed, always of course keeping in pace

.
:Robot:

More mainstream style that visually popping because more easily appreciable by the uninitiated, this style is often confused with popping. However, the robot is a style that does not necessarily need to pop, he can do this with several other techniques: popping, bopping dime and stopping. This style, as its name suggests, is to imitate a robot, so this is a very compact style, asking lots of insulation

.
:Bopping:

This style is very similar to popping, but has a different technique of it. The bopping uses the body's joints to give the effect of pop or rather vibration. An example: Imagine a moving arm which stops abruptly. A popper is just getting his muscles for effect, while one who practices bopping will stop its movement and add a little vibration in his arm a little shake

.
:Waving:

The waving is to make waves (= ripple waving) with his body. Do not confuse with the boogaloo that might seem the same principle

.
:Boogaloo:

The boogaloo is to roll joints of the body such as wrists, the coup, pelvis, knees, etc.. This style is often associated with popping, with which it combines very well (many people confuse these two styles elsewhere) and was made popular by the group Electric Boogaloo. It is important to differentiate between these two styles, one of which uses art as muscle contraction (popping), while the other is based on the rotation of the joints (boogaloo

).
:Tutting or Tetris:

Refers to the Tetris arcade game and is defined by movements at right angles. Often referred to as the Egyptian. These are sets of arms that one goes on pace alone or with others to draw figures. The symbol of this art is called Pharaoh

.
:Fillmore:

The Fillmore is a style that plays with the positions of military origin, such as wearing a hand to his temple. Unlike other styles, it is possible to use this style without forcing the really 'hit' at the time

.
:Liquid Pop:

 
Information about the Liquid Pop remain relatively unclear. However, the style emerged in the 90s at raves. This dance style has evolved with the rise of technology sound more powerful and sounds more and more psychedelic. Opening up new possibilities of music and trance played a major role.

This dance style is to imagine a fluid or energy passing through the body, creating large and small undulations very fluid, fast and slow, giving the impression of being liquid, hence the name "Liquid". Liquid Pop is a mix of two styles. However the styles are mixed more and Liquid becomes a concept as Popping, Waving and Gliding.

These dancers are rare in France, you will find at raves or electronic festival
