Popping Tutorial

[Thetrappiste1]

Quick question : when doing the fresno (or any other popping move), are you only popping your arms or also the chest ?

Great tuto by the way, don't know if you're still into poppin though, considering you posted that in 2005.

Anyway, thanks for the tuto !

[smoothjrSK]

[COD4Mme]

[mrslayga16]

[synergestic]

Actually i didn't get how you hit the chest. Your shoulders seems like moving as well a long with your chest.

[efestCwalker]

SONG NAME: Play - David Banner

thanx u for good tuttorial! man!

[jenson12son]

How do I attach a video response ?

[captainchris12]

Are we suppose to tense the whole arm at once..or separately with each muscle..

[illgobby]

This helped me so much! One of the best tutorials I've seen by far



[lilspazzz]

Hey! Sweet tutorial!

Just wondering what was the songs u used here?

Thanks :)

[911keng]

how long average to get decent hitting ? i suck in hitting. i heard need use stamp heel or bend knee abit to give illusion of whole body is hitting.

[AlexThePrivate]

your music collection is really awesome ahahha

[rcloren]

maaan i remmeber watching this in grade 9 or 10, im 18 now, i never gave up and i can do all the things i wanted to accomplish thanks to this video, basicly never give up and youll get it sooner or later.

[SwordWhisperer]

Thanks for making and posting this video. It explains a lot. You are a good teacher and dancer.

[SwordWhisperer]

This video explains a lot about it. Thank you for making this video and posting it.

[xGLmedia]

Do you think its possable to become really good at hip hop dance if i started , the only dancin ive ever done was melbourne shuffle and electro shuffle , but im 16 atm and im afraid it might be kinda late to get like really good at it ??? :S

[iRIS387]

@xGLmedia

it's never to late to start dancing. I know some 40-50 year olds who are learning to pop, and they have got incredibly good.. so just go for it, and don't give up :)

[sbarry92]

@xGLmedia OMG im the exact same as you tho im 2 years older than you and all iv done is jumpstyle and shuffle and trying to learn hip hop! Im adding you lol :D

[pleurose]

[ChoiAerin]

Hahaha.. my joints are hurting after practicing the hitting haha.. maybe im doing it wrong.. its so hard.. cause i can feel my joints making noises haha.. Hope I can be better at this! Mad tutorial :) Thanks!

[inventfmc]

@ChoiAerin Hey you should be using ONLY ur muscles... not ur joints for popping.

[ipohkengyeah]

@inventfmc i have trouble hitting. i duno i shud jz practice or what. when hitting arm, shud i bent abit of my elbow. of jz tense the whole arm. the wrist supposed to jolt up abit during flex right ? also chest hitting is frustrating.

[NewLifeMoves]

@inventfmc hey great tutorial man. whats the song at 3:50 ?

[jswayney16]

[kwattree]

[JSWAGGNATION]

whats the first song

[tplayer53]

This was great. I'm 54 man but giving it my all. The only problem I have is that it tends to scare the hell out of my dog.

[nmrafie24]

lol...yeah, thats d attitude ..

[TheSubwaysurfer]

@tplayer53 HA!! some Im NOT the ONLY "OLD dude" doing this! LOL Im 50 and started poppin again seriously in my 40's . I wanted a FUN form of exercise and entertainment and this was a lot more cooler than "jogging on a treadmill" My dog, is used to me doing this though! LOL!

[ipohkengyeah]

@tplayer53 u shud plant fruits instead of popping

[02fnky4u]

wow, you make it look easy, will try to practise this cause need a hoby... my dance style is too unique.. love how you move. so awesome

:)

[Gundamknight2423]

Popping = the illusionary style of musicality with isolations,waves and botting, as well as hitting the ebat with teh tensing of the muscles.

[ng2bz]

nice

[BlackSoldier]

BOOO LOL

[JimmyPageProject]

whats the name of the song at the last part?

[Piliusetes]

first songname? thx man :D

[rislowboom]

the fact is that the dance people call "popping" is characterized by the hit. that's the foundation. like invent says, if you're not hitting, you're not popping. everyone wants to learn how to wave - it's a crowdpleaser, lol.

[4lifeKid]

well yeah crowd pleasing is a huge part of dancing. Of course there are other motivations for dancers but what do you expect? The only thing I would correct is when people annoyingly use the term "pop locking"---there is no such thing!!

But to the non-popper/waver/bboy-bgirl/kr­umper/gigger/any kind of freestyler it all looks the same lol.

[frnknberryXD]

Relax guys hes a close friend of mine its an inside joke.

Bossanovaz!

[frnknberryXD]

wow this guy is awesome!!! is he black?

[DJSardaukar]

That's an ignorant question.  Who cares?

[ouchstopclicking]

how does that matter?

[thandonghp]

thanks you very much

[jrion2]

i think popping by itself is nuthing. in order 2 see the tru beauty of it u must also hav skills in waving. combing the 2 makes for a really good show. ^^V

[RookieN08]

actually waving is consider as popping

hitting,roboting,waving and tutting are actually popping

so this tutorial actually teaches you how to hitting

[bboytrigger123]

nope. Popping is Popping. Popping is hitting. Waving, tutting, strobing, ticking etc... those are separate styles that are incorporated in popping. Same as boogaloo & G-style are two separate styles of popping.

[RookieN08]

thats what mean

waving,tutting,strobing,roboti­ng etc are styles that when they combine , they are call popping.

I don't understand why most of the people keep thinking poppping is hitting.

[ImStillJaKEbR0oKs]

no, popping is great, every dance style can be great, just it looks a little bit different with waving

[jrion2]

im guessing u the 1 that minused me? lol

[ImStillJaKEbR0oKs]

no, you just have an opinion, i don't think you're wrong, just have a different view, i diden't minus your comment

[LOTHARIOOFESV]

Dope Vid Homie!!! Check Out My arm wave tutorial. Subscribe if you like!!! LotharioESV

[DJSkewer]

thanks man. this only tutorial i have seen that covers popping. I'm trying to learn popping so i can start a dance club/crew at my school with some friends. this helps :) So far my friends and i got break dancing, "the jerk", gliding/floating/sliding, and liquid down. thanks for the popping tutorial!

[tkdmijo]

invent will you ever do the ticking tutorial, ist great but hard to learn there isnt any itcking tuts here..... great video btw!!!

[Berzerker911]

this is an AWESOME tutorial

[mutombo14]

hey whats the last song?

[FalconMYk]

Wow, thanks a lot.

This helped me so much, I'm trying to learn how to pop and this got me started really well.

I'm Korean too, go figure.

[COD4Mme]

@FalconMYk Asian! im asian too. filipino to be specific

[RookieN08]

whats the difference of robot dance and popping?

[mypassismyrealname]

when popping, you hit it,

robot, you stop your motion

while popping you can dance like a real human at least you hit.

[royal1000]

popping is the name of the style it contains styles like robot , waving, gliding , boogalo, egiptian twists, tutting and more :D

[CLOUDSTR1FE]

I'm having trouble with the hitting. Like is it just simply tensing your muscles? Like it's just awkward to tense relax tense relax tense relax... Any advice or maybe i'm just doing something wrong...

[inventfmc]

That's basically all it is... remember to try to relax more than you tense though haha. Also remember, it takes time!!!

[MrAlien1213]

@CLOUDSTR1FE  watch my vid(tutorial)

[VICENTIJE95]

ajde pusi kurac mother fucker

[imdabestness]

omg dis vid helped immensly...

at first all i was doin was trynna make shit up, but failing miserably...

dude, breakin it down nd givin exercises REALLY helps.. sure my muscles r slightly sore after 5 mins but after a while it will help ayy?

can u reply or sum shit tellin how ta make the small moves? coz idk how nd ino it sounds dum...

anyway thx again G =]

[TehPure]

Is there any way to tell if ur doing it right?

since right now im trying to pop and my shoulder keeps going up o.o

[brockrock06]

this is legit

and the song is david banner play, just w/o the lyrics

[JayleeAngel]

Really good tutorial. What a way to break it down and giving exercises really helps. *thumbs up*

[DB90909]

what is the song on 4:20?

its nice for popping..

[imdabestness]

the song iz "Play - David Banner" cept its got wordz.... obviously XD

[ExplicitAzn]

I'm learning popping right now, c-walking isn't really impressive.

[gawshurface7924]

true that ! xD

popping seems to have more versatile styles. Cwalking seems a bit more repetitive

[OmqitsMarioxD]

Wahts Daht Sonq In 4:21 ?

[prodigee1130]

ive been popping for 2 years and i jus want to know wat u all think, watch my vid and ill prolly make sum more of yall want me 2

[eliseshannon1]

hi,

could u go onto my channel, a.nd watch my vid, its called my first week of popping, could u also please give me some advice.

thanks

[Rafswitch]

very good dance moves and good tutorial,i should do one but i feel too old as to do this,i used to dance poplock and breakdance in the eighties but i still love it,im trying to teach some kids to do this,this is more like when you get shocked so your muscles contract,the hardest thing is to come up with your own dance routine anyway hey man good job thanks for sharing this with the rest

keep up the good work

[xXJSK19921112Xx]

wow

teach me how to do that fing at 2:53

right after you say there you go

thats mad

lol

[riquelmeghurl]

I went to my first class last week and it was like I had 2 left feet lol, this is really helping though I feel quite silly doing it alone in my room hehe, great stuff!!!!

[dancefan18]

sick man this is nice i just subscribed im tryin to be a all around better dancer, i wave and break a little but this hittin looks sick,

Keep up the tutorials man 5/5

[riot4977]

i wanna learn popping! im new to it actually.. i dont know if i could do it, coz im an 18-year-old girl. hahaha. hope this could help. LOL

[inventfmc]

Of course you can do it!!!

You can do anything you set your mind to.

And also, 18 is a fine age to start popping. I started when I was almost 19 too. And you being a girl has nothing to do with it. If you want some examples of really awesome girl poppers, look up "Foreign Exchange". All girl popping crew. :)

[riot4977]

woah! I just saw her! Pandora!! Man, she's amazing! Thanks for sharing.. And thanks for this tutorial, by the way.. :)

[R3maN3nT3]

thats encouraging bc i was thinking that i started a lil too late. im a 19 year old guy, but started taking the interest about a year ago. Now im actually trying to master it. I choreographed a song too! be on the look out for it, coming soon! @riot4977 you should also check out Beat Freaks, they are also an all girl crew but they can def keep up and even pass the many of the guy crews.

[23spacejam]

damn!

its been more than a year since i first saw this video

n now i can really say that im good as you.

[inventfmc]

Hey man, that's good to hear.

At the point I made this video I had been dancing for 3 years. So if you caught up to that in a year, good job!!!

Check some of my newer videos, it's me at 6 1/2 years... so set that as you bench mark for 3 years!!!

Keep it up!!!

[zylman93]

you are a great dancer, but your face is dead on this movie. thanks.

[eaeaeaea07]

This is the best popping tutorial i've ever seen

[TooT1424]

dis spit wack as dirt

[inventfmc]

except dirt is vital to all life of earth... so with me bein wack as dirt, you're really sayin I'm vital!!!

[reyguar]

i agree, and well put so many "haters!" true dance enthusiasts would embrace your talent and dedication as well as encourage others, like you do, to practice and become better. The negativity is most likely only a result from problems, fears insecuritys in their own life. Otherwise what is the point of trying to bring someone down? this is a great tutorial and thank you, and all you who say otherwise how bout a video response and show how "unwack" your popping is?

[chibustin]

lol. you got that right.

[moviephoneguy]

you look like common kinda.

[harleyherrington]

thats sick i need to learn how to do this

[asiankid911]

ive got a question how do u hit ur upper body cuz i have a trouble with it i can hit with my arms and legs but i have problem with my shoulders

[vote4thaovang]

[mzoranz]

Good stuff!

[tokansam19]

idk if this is popping or not but whats the move where you stand facing sideways and you use your hand to push your head back and then your chest and you repeat

[PockyDesu]

i'd like to know if theres a name as well! This dancer "dumbo" does it so good!

[DizzyED]

i believe that just to be a trick using isolation and separating different parts of your body. not sure how to classify that move other than isolation though..

[npzstreetball]

nice tutorial man

da peaace at de end woz nice

lol=]

[kid986]

my strong arm is my right one..it tenses and pop quite good..but my left one is not as god as my right one..and ive been doing the same excercises to make them both strong but my left one is still not as good..could someone tell me why please.?
