[vutrix]

lol "aight nough talkin, let's TALK about poppin".....

[mojoham123]

the BOOMs and the KAAAs goes great with the locking... but i'm not sure it's the rite sound for popping hahahhaa nice tutorial btw

[brambilabong]

Check my floor body wave tutorial on my home page!

[ELEKTROLARA]

muchas gracias

me sirvio

[OrlyDudeGuy]

Dude, you are really good at teaching and explaining this stuff. I started breaking last year but I got more into popping 'cause that's what I've been wanting to learn and also getting into locking. Been working on popping and locking moves and I'm just beginning to get it and feel it. Thnx for the uploads.

[cvnguyen1010]

I've been popping for a while and following a lot of tutorial videos on youtube. I must admit that this is the most helpful and awesome tutorial I've watched man!! Please keep up the good work and Thanks a lot mate!

[LiFeeLLi]

how long are you dancing already? and how long does it need to dance like this?

[SuperLeonidas14]

great video :] thank you

[xtermin8tor18]

thx dude this really helps.

[RoboboyDW]

when you know about the style and the history and everything about the animation and boogaloo then you can progress in the right direction, if you think george sampson is the worlds best dancer then you will try to look like him and pop wrong, most of it is about knowing the things to watch on youtube :) Peace.

[crasianballer]

LOL at the jerk

[melowX1]

Tnx for showing a bit how popping works, its my favorite dance style but i can't seem to work it out so well. It begins kinda good but ends up with crappy stuff but now i might do it a bit better

[FloatingElmo]

Thanks, i really love your tutorials:D. I was missing this part in my popping and i hope that it makes my popping much better:D

[pirateXhunterXzoro]

[vietguy511]

yo sean, u got some skills man, u prolly do a mad robot haha forreal though props to you

[quillaz26]

@gpopperformexpress dude that as clear ad it gets! Couldn't have said it better myself. He has a good teaching method just a little misinformed check out my animatronics at the nevrott channel

[Gpopperformexpress]

In the robot tradition, what you are explaining is not correct. Animitronics is when you are being a robot who is being a human. So instead of pure botting, you are botting with humanistic feel. Also in robot or animatronics you need very clean dimes which you are not demonstrating. Not hating, just education. I appreciate you trying to educate ppl, and your intent, but I believe this info is incorrect.

Peace!

[kseslayer]

@Gpopperformexpress i agree wit sum of wut ur sayin but i was told that animatronics is mimicing the robots like the ones that you see playin instruments that are really jerky and have a pop before and after the hit (mr wiggles does this alot)

and animation is like a general dance style that is tryin to mimic sumthing unnatural so its more of a generalization (an analogy would be animation is lik popping and animatronics is like scarecrowing)

not sayin ur wrong jus puttn wut ive been taught

[MatTAFacT]

nice sound effects.lol

[elbraymundo]

BVVVVVVVVVVVVVVZZZZZZ TSH

BVVVVVVVVVVZZZZZZ TSH

BBVVSSZZZ TSH

[HipHopKasya]

[christophercraig81]

Leron

DisTraXion CRu

[evodantex]

[Lorbeer200]

[Rubz69]

great video

[littlemoymoy]

u are a great teacher

[blitzkriegxgirl]

wow, awesome, you're so funny when you tell us not to do something XD

[athaocity]

they dont teach animitronics in school

[natashaalias]

(I had a hard time)

[natashaalias]

hey shawn.I wanna say thank you for all the video that you made..it really helps me a lot with my dancing..just one problem..i had time to combine all the moves..is it really hard or I'm just not creative?(please reply)

[KyMace]

"...I didn't really teach anything but hopefully you learned something..." hahaaaa lmao, nice.

Lol but this was a nice intro tho, it helps.

[Brillta]

sometimes i think your a little full of yourself shawn, and then i remember your the f%$#in bomb and it's all good.

lol

thanks for this vid.

[Gundamknight2423]

i El oh El at truth behind the wave and glide and wave. too true, we should go back to some proper popping, like hitting and the isols

[IMAHIPHOPDANCER22]

I agree. I think no matter how much of a great dancer you are it is never bad to go back to basics. Basics of exspecially popping is somthing you should always take it back. Your already a good dancer no matter who you are but it wont help just to go back to step 1 every once in a while.

[BboyKraze253]

can you please do more tutting videos

and ur really good keep up the great work!

[bboyhights]

i make my own beats so i can hit them all

[whickedshell]

can you make a detailed tutorial of thos begin combos you did, that was really sweet ^^

you explain everything simple and clean the way it should be but can you do them slowly for beginners like me please =) thank you in advance

( Your break tuts and butterfly twist tut, they're REALLY REALLY GOOD! Ö)

[daiblo12345]

thxs a lot,its hard 2 leran but i kept looking at this vid for like 5 times a day till i learned it

[TeachMeProperDancin]

I think you know by now how much I love you and your tutorials, Shawn! I have been using animatronics for a while, but this really broke it down furthermore!

If you have a few minutes on your hand, please have a look at my "Popping & Locking freestyles"-video as I used your locking combo plus doing lots of your moves in there. Tell me what you think! :)

[xfya]

excellent!!

[0nwaay]

nice brooo ! :D

good tut! i luv ya not homo xD!

[randy19y]

Por favor sigue subiendo ese tipo de videos eres grandioso

todo muy xevere!

[illicit1991]

Nice tutorial man.

[illicit1991]

the-jump . co . uk

[dreg015]

thanks for this vid. short but really help ahaah thanks!!!

[ca1980ted]

It might be only me but I think your moves can be broken down even simpler. It might be because you're talking cause my attention is all over your body at the same time. It feels weird and isn't pleasent to the eye. I'm just sayin'.

[krazypinoy7012]

daaaaamn haha. ticking was ill aha. really opened my mind, as always.

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@krazypinoy7012 its the subtle things that stand out isolation is a great way to show that

[krazypinoy7012]

yah. thanks for reminding me though. isolations used to be my whole style aha but ive opened up. jus need to add em in again.

[SanojLTL]

[KStyIe]

I've been following u for a while, ur getting better & better man. great tutorials & tips for people like me that are self teaching. keep it up!

[asdfghk25]

It's all good, very enlightening aha

[patchesxc1]

wow thanks. I dont know if u listened to my listened to my last comment, but you posted a tutorial on exactly what i asked for :D I know how to wave and do some popping moves, but i didnt really know how to do just basic popping movements. Very helpful for ideas xD

[ngstylez]

Thanks, Shawn, great stuff

[BlackAceStarForce7]

this is the good stuff

[VnOnWoNg]

Hey nice tutorial but just so you know at 4:11, those arent ticks, ticking is to hit fast to every eighth beat. what you were doing is more like strobbing.

[Sangfroidation]

Shawn you're awesome!

What I love about these tutorials is that they don't strictly teach routines or combos that people will copy into their own styles, but an overview of the styles and a few base moves that we'll freestyle with.

[shortaflip]

Actually what you are describing is animation. Animatronics is emulating the movements of a robot trying to be human.

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

animitronics is more machine like and animation is just getting into character through poppin i think i am right?

[shortaflip]

Well I guess it could be how you perceive it, because Shields and Yarnell explained the difference in an interview. And those two are really crazy when it comes to botting and animation :)

[SavageChacolate]

@shortaflip

no he's explaining it right. but you have to be tense the whole time while doing animatronic, after moving into place while tense you hit but you dont relax your muscles at all. thats how you create the ripple effect. Animation is similar but you dont hit, you isolate body parts i.e. head, shoulder, hand, etc. I GOT YOUR BACK SHAWN!!!! ; ]

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@SavageChacolate WORD UP SAE-MEISTER!

[CWalkKenny]

the cwalk!! lol xP

[alanthegreat19429]

funny how i learn that todayy i got on and i saw it on my you tube subcribe lol

[ThePlatypusKnight24]

love this tut

[arothermel16]

without a doubt the best and most versatile dancer out there.. you know how to do every style and teach it all for free.. doesnt get any better than that

[4r44]

Shawn can you do a gliding & sliding tutorial? it would be great.

[FlowSiick]

he already did like two or three. search his uploads for them

[jville1stand1up]

already did...a loooooong time ago.

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

thanks

[jellydeal]

Great work my friend!
