@jimiefoxx Type BAY AREA STRUTTING in your search and you'll see the true art form that evolved into popping. There should be at least 2 or 3 good examples on youtube.
@jimiefoxx Well, Skeeter Rabbit wasn't from the Bay. He was a locker from L.A. and also a decent popper. The strutters you saw don't appear to "hit" hard because this dance preceded popping. Strutting had a more fluid motion and flow. It was influenced by the "stepping" dance moves of the old 1960s 1970s Motown singing groups and also James Brown. Also "Botting"(robot) and miming was used in Strutting. I was born in San Francisco and saw this from the 70s to early 80s.
@mothball50 thank u so much. i think i learn it more and i think learning the history is very important!
i need people like u to help me learn more! u re the original one! im from Taiwan. Popping in Taiwan is popular because we have Kwon and many other great popper to promote the dance, but many people, i think, don't really learn the real history of this art.
@jimiefoxx I'm glad that this dance has spread worldwide. And people like you are keeping it alive. I was a strutter and locker for only a few years and stopped in high school. If you want to find more information on the history and origins of strutting/popping/boogaloo you should visit the west coast popping site. Those guys have more knowledge than me. Some of the top poppers in the US are on that site sharing info.
@ArtisticHmongBoi - can look up youtube dot com / sfstrutter for real BayArea strutting YT doesn't let you use links in responses That is Skeeter Rabbit RIP
@Oggranny that's exactly what I was thinkin at first, but then I remembered a part where a dude in "Freshest Kids: A History of the B-Boy" did this same style and called it strutting. I dunno. This isn't Bay Area strutting, I think, but I think it could be another style of strutting. That's just my thoughts, not official word.
Arent the Filmore and the Strut two totally different dance moves? Why is this guy "Harry berry" combining the two and messing the styles all up?
And whats the difference between the funkstylers and those guys? Aint they all from Cali and dont they all pop the same? Aint no difference man. I think some of y'all just like hating man. All I saw was continuous popping in that Filmore Strut video-- there is no actual definition to this style. Just a bunch of moving around and popping
So his filmore is wrong too? lol... some of you guys are crazy. If you all know what the real version of Filmore and Strutting is and since his version is wrong.. please point us in the right direction, so you can convince us better in your argument
hell yeah its rong man! the arm movements that he is doin r the only thing that could b considered struttin. but theres more to struttin then the arm movements theres the footwork and he aint doin it ... type in (harry berry the frisco popper filmore strut )and ull c a huge difference man
In response to the below, there is a style know as electric boogaloo, I think I know what i am talking about. I practice and teach popping 5 days a week several hours daily. How many of you can say that. I know alot of styles and this is strutting. There is a style known as filmore strutting and that is similar to the above. You are all thinking of strobe strutting or ticking strutting. Very different styles.
why is popping called popping? Anyone know. Because when boogaloo sam would practice, he would say the word pop when he hit. Thus we have the dance know as "popping". You guys should really know what you are talking about before speaking. he is the creator of popping and boog. Popping pete crazy legs style. THIS IS STRUTTIN. Poppin pete and Skeeter Rabbit wouldnt post a video of the wrong style or move in the style dictionary. THEY KNOW WHAT STRUTTIN IS!
Do you guys know who those two are? This is skeeter rabbit and poppin pete! They are from the famous electric boogaloos. If you pop, these are the pioneers of the dance. Sam Poppin petes brother, is the creator of popping. This is strutting, it is a variation of it. The whole thing isnt strutting, but the strob walk is the strut. I think poppin pete and skeeter rabbit know what they are talking about and demonstrating.
Big respect to both skeeter and pete... but that isn't strutting... I wish people would stop and look at the comments that are coming up, and wonder why so many people agree that this is in fact not strutting, or a variation of it. I learned strutting from Hit Master Fish.... and I know this isn't strutting.
he flipped and made popular HIS version of boogaloo. Oakland and Bay are boogaloo are what Sam derived his boogaloo from, but and did come first, but the EB boogaloo is what I'm talking about. That is what you can attribute Sam with...
you aint struttin homeboy i just happen to know the creater, sean do from san jo homie teacher of tommy boy, stop embarrassing your self knowledge is the key.
That's not strutting. My instructor Midnight showed us how to strut and it didn't look like that. Out in LA, I don't know if ppl still strut, but Midnight is keeping it alive by having us strut(routines).Fayzo, I have a video on my page that you can check Midnight and Tick-A-Lot.
I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about. If you want to rebut, you can bring that up with Fayzo. Struttin was around before Skeeter Rabbit started doing his own, and Fayzo is one of the pioneers on Struttin. Trust me, I've seen Fayzo strut before.
dude i just watched one of fayzo's videos, when he explained struttin...lol...he's doing the same thing skeeter did...skeeter just hits his harder with more frames that made it look like he was strobbin...but he was struttin he just has his on style like everyone else.
man rip skeet no disrespect to the man, but this AINT STRUTTIN. looks more like a strobe technique with turns. same goes to his filmore style - its not proper filmore and looks hella sloppy. HALLY BERRY look up or FAYZO. struttin should look clean, steppin in and out with straight arm angles and small CLEAN cicles to hit next angle. also bringin arms in and crossed (like preyin tuts) with steps. newskool strutters like MONEYB, dizzrockin etc are the modern strutters u wanna check.they dope!!
strutting is group routines, and filmore strut is coming out and hitting angles, usually using fully extended arms. ticking and strobing are more illusion based. Dude, seriously Fayzo is one of the pioneers of this style, so listen to him and look up Medea Sirkas!!!
mhmm he is strutting. Strutting is when u do movements/actions and pop during it. It's similar to strobing but strobing is quick movements + dimestop at a faster rate. Strutting is instead of dimestopping, u pop.
yes u could say that, when I think of strutting I think of filmore strut, seach harry berry filmore too see what you all are looking for probably, I can say how people are confusing this with strobing or tickin... but watch the angles and different positions that skeet is doing, strutting just without the footwork of filmore, but his movements are tooo small in this demo so its looks like wide or slow strobing
No, not at all. I have posted a link of what strutting is.
Kind of silly that they would call a style that resembles any BUT strutting "strutting".
The OG's need to get together and come up with a different nae that ore properly suits the character and actual definition of that style, besides putting words on it that dont even match what it is ACTUALLY doing. Strutting is basically a group performance--emphasizing synchronization through different levels and time intervals.
hmmmmmm i feel like i started this whole thing up lol
well maybe its sum other style by the same name, u never know or mayb there was sum dude hu made it up like that dude hu created ticking after learning how to hit.........but unless there an og familiar with this style or sum1 hu knows it we will never really kno
Agreed. And lol at people telling Fayzo what is and isn't strutting. This clip is definitely not strutting. There are many things Skeeter is good at, but he should not be trying and is not qualified to be teaching this style. For strutting look up Medea Sirkas, Pt 3000, BRS, ect.
Well these guys were there when it all started so if they say it's struttin, I'll take their word for it. Like some of you said, maybe it's a different form. It's definately not strobing. Strobing runs on the same principles of dime stops but it's slightly different. Strobing follows specific movements, this is erratic.
No disrespect Dj... but they were not there when this dance started! Strutting started in San Francisco in the 70's and they were not there. Me and my Group (Medea Sirkas) aka (Demons of the Mind) are one of the Pioneering Groups of this Style...and I can tell you for a Fact that this is not Strutting.
I know who you guys are. I don't know, I am an 80's baby. If you guys say it's not struttin then I take your word for it. I've never seen it so I can't say. I am open to the truth, but if an O.G. says one thing, I'll take it as that until someone proves me otherwise. Since your in Medea Sirkas I take your word for it.
there is a possibility strutting was coined for this type of dance he is doing and thats why skeeter calls this struttin I wouldn't call this strobbing not really
