Mr Wiggles Animatronics Lesson

[maders03]

its so much harder then it looks im tensing my muscles when im moving and then im not tensing when i stop is this right or do i tense when i stop and tense when move cos people say dimestoping is that just stopping or do u need to tense when u stop

[IMAHIPHOPDANCER22]

@maders03 To me its either or. Tensing your muscles just gives you the illusion. You can be completely relaxed and tense or you can just stay tensed to a dime stop. Its just the effect you want to give is that anamatronics movement.

[faix7827]

hey plz tel me a gud beat for animatronics

[juandaking93]

you look llike carlos boozer

[ialexmani]

wow dude idk if hes giving us a lesson or just showing off lol amazing

[TheSubwaysurfer]

Wigg's technique is SOOOOOOO tight he actually looks like a ROBOT trying to imitate a HUMAN! LOL! once he goes into animatronix mode, he just totally takes on that persona, and has such total body control that he seamlessly goes in and outta character. I KNOW it takes practice to get good at this, but honestly, I think some folk, like Wiggs were just "born" to do this better.

[TheSubwaysurfer]

Great thing bout WIggs is first that he's from NOO YAWK.. heh... 2nd is that the dude never repeats a move! or at least is able to mask it so you couldn't learn it easily. Since he aint battlin anymore very generous of him to pass on this knowledge ... I know he aint givin it ALL away but the parts that he is, is pure gold.

[81STARR]

i love u mr wiggles!!

[bvhzan]

[BURGZMOB]

soo f****n clean

[Sangfroidation]

Doooope.

[workinprogress305]

@KaijaStyle and 2buck4dH8rz.... its tense your muscles at the beggining of the movement, then release it/relax your muscles while moving, and then at the end of the movement that's when you tense your muscles again

[MrMarth]

Mr Wiggles will ALWAYS be one of the sickest. Always.

[Fr3e2xpress]

this actually helps

[STEPASAUR]

i've always had nice hydrolics, can't remember learning it and sure as f*** can't teach it, and i've tried..oh i've tried, big up Wigs

[KaijaStyle]

yeh how do you do the hit at the end aha :/

[2buck4dH8rz]

how do u hit it at the end when ur already tensing?

[XxBboyAyehxX]

relax real fast after tensing

[robx30]

awesome,bravo!

[kekoaaguirre]

siik wiit itt.

im still learning

[JarinQa]

Good:)

[klumzycuhz]

Omg mr wiggles is the shit !

[drew62969]

good shit homie

[Willie1700]

nice hydrolics man tht shit is tight haha

[KoifishKhoreo]

legs r a big role to this style it helps you rotate your upper body by pushing your legs against the ground. sometimes you can even adjust your stance while your do animitonics. but hey i my be a beginer but i still have years to practice

[swaztikakevz]

great mr wigz, wish i could be a popper just like you someday.

[CtlunatC]

what about the legs??

[Dr0den]

well most of the attention is brought to the upper body so you wont have to flex or hit quite as hard for the legs

[MRWIGGLESEB]

hey

look at the animation clip i use a front knee BOP

i teach the front knee BOP in MENU 6 DVD. but it is very effective for Bottin, Animation, and Animatronix

[mikesandytoes]

@MRWIGGLESEB wiggles your the best, i love the vidoe titled "mr. wiggles early" u killed it it gives me chills how sick everything is i love the funkyness of everything you do and i wish sum of the newer poppers would stop doing stupid moves to show off witch i dont even cosider dancing *cough* salah *cough*

[MikeyB423]

you have to keep whatever part of the body that you're moving somewhat tense while moving it... this helps maintain the controlled pace of the movement that makes it look robotic...then top it off with a quick/intense tensing of the muscle (dimestopping)...i don't know how to explain it any clearer than that... you just have to practice it and get a feel to really understand it...

[specialk05]

whats the beat in the background?

[MRWIGGLESEB]

its off my poppin CD i think eb funk 3

"dont stop it"

you can check on my site i have a soundclick radio station

peace\

wigz

[dskmark]

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude­! you rock! i wanna be just like you mayne! :D

[Dr0den]

<3 what your doing man

[2buck4dH8rz]

so your muscles are always tightened?

[stormdriven]

No - if your muscles are always tightened you wont be able to see the difference when you hit.

A more visually dramatic effect is delivered by keeping your frame rigid when you move, but the muscles are relaxed until the moment you hit [at which point they tense/flex momentarily and then relax again as movement continues].

[xonejessex]

it takes a lot of acid to get there boy.

[Takaodash1]

That is awsome I wish He could teach

[xpresso21]

cool

[ChewySatisfaction]

you should double up with poppin john, that would crush

[theincrediblesanju]

He is superbbbb!!!! Real Robot Stuff

[manga12]

On of the founders of origional hip hop, Mr Wiggles, and this is how you do the proper robot like this tight and stop to the beat and keep it moving with the whole body when you do this. That is how you pop, non of that booty shaking pop music stuff here. This is the real hip hop

[ilikewiigames]

@manga12 lol? this is NOT the "real" hip hop. hip hop originated from jazz

[manga12]

This is the real how one of its styles is done, Hip hop drew from many differant styles of dance, I hope you are refering to the old jazz dance, like you would see in the 20's on and not the stuff you see studios call jazz dance, it has nothing to do with hip hop it dont move the same, it dont dress the same and the style is more theatrical, it is a joke for studio hip hop to try to pass off jazz dance as hip hop, this is street dance at its core.

[abbirina]

[finalfantasyxeries]

i thought that hitting and "tightening your muscles" is the same....somebody can explain to me please?

[cambi18]

tightening in his context is talkin bout just holding tht flex n then u hit after wurds so ur going to hold tht flex n then hit(flex release real quick) i unno if my explanation is understandable but i tried lol

[jucajuca92]

amazing tut......thanks bro

[MisterSicOne]

[dirtychiva]

[ironman270]

[Kwinzproductions]

werent u on semeseme street or sumthing

[morganbboy]

Mr wiggles is like the only popper that does tutorials. Its sweet.

[Gsthebest1]

DAM JEEZ HIS GOOD!

[Afroman1125]

I have trouble with the hit at the end of each movement. Any advice?

[Izzy11215]

Think of it as if you just got scared and came to a sudden stop.

[jimleak007]

You know how you normally move and pop? Or move then pop? And how your tensed when dimestopping? It's basically when you move, your arms must be tensed/flexed. Then after you moved, you would hit/pop like you would if you were popping normally. Just keep practicing you'll get it over time.

[yobrandon11]

man after doing that for so many years wiggz probably has one of the hardest hits and dimestops I've ever seen O_Oa

[FAMEinSTYLE]

wiggles is the man

[J0HND3LACRUZ]

yo wiggles is the best of all time. he could do every style and and he could break and he could rap and he could graff! he been doing it for so long its mind boggoling.

[Ngagehuei]

it works and helps!

[DjRedAlert]

ummm i don't get it i know how to pop and stuff but when u tighten...to hit again don't u gotta loosen the tightening part then re tighten to hit?

[EjaBrown]

tightening your muscles is popping, but hitting is much harder and generally means stopping in place. so your tightening then re tightening but the second time is much harder and in place, like you just hit a wall and cant move any further. get it?

[DjRedAlert]

not really i do abit but..wat i gotta do to hit then? cuz tightening to me is the same thing?? helpp i wanna lern this

[EjaBrown]

just tighten the muscles and stop. it is the same. hitting is just a harder pop

[finalfantasyxeries]

i thought tightening your muscles and hitting are the same...reply pls

[EjaBrown]

well yeah, kinda. tightening your muscles is popping, but hitting is much harder and generally means stopping in place. so your tightening then re tightening but the second time is much harder and in place, like you just hit a wall and cant move any further. get it?

[finalfantasyxeries]

do i only hit the body part that moves ?

cause i am used to hitting EVERY body part when i move only 1 body part.

plz reply

[EjaBrown]

hit every part at the same time. its only your upper body in this video he wasnt showing knee hits. your hitting should be control by either your right arm or left. so both. dont focus so much on your chest and shoulders, they come naturally.

[FAMEinSTYLE]

thanx man ii see what your sayin

[Snoboarder999]

he said live robots......

[1maximus2001]

is it possible to sink your chest and stuff if your skinny

[niftyneek]

definitely, try and inhale when you do it, it should help the effect

[knightingale87]

dis aint no promo. get the fuck atta here

[knightingale87]

aaaa yeah! this guy is legend

[technotronic99]

great teaching!

[robotwmp]

[jlin91]

mr wiggles ur a legend

[PMJustinY]

nice. is there any way i can learn how to dime stop? ive been trying to get my dime stops down but i just cant seem to do them

[trisiderent]

????

listen to a slow beated song or something and just around. stop everything at the beat or every other beat.

[sifujordan]

It just takes practice and control. Try R&B and real slow music. You have to practice being relaxed and being able to stop clearly and perfectly. Pick an imaginary path/point and stare at it. Reach out to touch it and stop on it !

After you get that down, you add a pop to the end of the dime stop.

[EjaBrown]

a good trick is to pop your knee at the same time. it helps.

[finalfantasyxeries]

thx man
