locking came first. then poping. poping went in different directions thats why you have boogaloo, tutting, animatronics, animation, stuff like that. Then they figured you can dance on your hands to funk music. thats when bboying came. Then Hiphop music exploded and people started dancing to that instead of just funk. hiphop dancing incorporates all those different funk styles.
the funk movement actually had nothing to do with breaking. in new york a dj and his store he owned played music a lot and people just started dancing on their hands and it became popular. thus. breaking.
i don't think they called those styles poppin back in the late 70's, hip hop didn't even come out when this dance was created, musta been called , Funk or Boogie
when the dance was supposedly created by Boogaloo Sam was called popping. Popping isnt part of Hip-Hop it was part of the Funk Movement back in the 70's. Locking came before popping. Breaking came from the otherside of the country and they all clashed together to create this phenomenal movement that has gone underground.
The Umbrella Term for this dance is called "Funk Styles." I hate when people say poplocking or poppinglock or pop locking....If you are a Tutter, Locker, Popper, Waver, Ticker, Strober, Animator, if you do Robotics, anything that falls under this dance genre you are or they are "A Funk Styles Dancer!"
the confusion ensues when people label the entire dance poplocking. Poplocking is not the umbrella term for the whole dance but is a reference to a certain technique. You have mad poplockers in the bay right now like the members of g-style
actually Eazii there is such a thing as poplocking...ask Jazzy J, boppin Andre, G-style. There is a whole history of popping history that predates the boogaloos...sugapop is not and should not be considered a Popping historian, my friend...he was still @ home when the lockers were on soul train.He came along much later in the dance scene...poplocking is a justifiable term
where the hell did you learn that ? popping is its own style from the west coast. and the breaking scene opened on the other side of the country in new york how the hell can they be the same thing ? you should learn before you post boy. and dont go wikipedia to say shit that you dont really know.
A while back ago i just kinda put it under the category of Break dancing, since when break dancing is mentioned to people from back in the day they would always include popping.
the word "poplock" doesn't exist, but many people think so. There is Locking and there is Popping. Locking & Popping are 2 DIFFERENT styles. You can't do both at the same time.
David Elsewhere has some ill moves but he hasnt come up with any more hot shit... he is repetitive... Bionic Man can actually dance. elsewhere only knows how to bust tricks...
