Robot Dancing

something i probably got from my ass. enjoy

The robot (or mannequin) is an illusionary dance style - often confused with popping - that attempts to imitate a dancing robot or mannequin.

All movements of the Robot are started and finished with a lock, to give the impression of motors starting and stopping. The dancer's posture is initially kept rigid at all times until he or she has mastered the technique and is able to relax while maintaining the robotic illusion.

Because the Robot, popping, and locking are closely related, Robot dancing is often confused with popping and liquid dancing in general. The Robot, however, refers only to the technique of imitating a humanoid robot.

As with popping in general, the visual impact of the robot can be boosted by doing it in pace with music. The best effect is achieved with music that has very distinct beats such as electrofunk. It is nonetheless common to use music not particularly suited for the dance, but which has a "robot theme", such as Styx's "Mr. Roboto".

Unlike most other dances, the robot may also be accompanied a cappella by making vocal impressions of beeps and other electro-mechanical noises.

In the qualifying rounds for the 2006 World Cup, English striker Peter Crouch, after scoring a critical goal, began to do the robot dance and became a media sensation.
Stewie Griffin performs the robot in the Family Guy episode Fast Times at Buddy Cianci, Jr. High.
Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory performs it, along with robots in one episode.
In the movie Eight Crazy Nights, Whitey does the dance to the tune of Mr Roboto.
In Chappelle's Show, there is one character that appears in the background of many sketches doing the robot.
In an episode of My Name Is Earl, Randy and Earl appear doing the Robot to the tune of Mr Roboto, while lights flash across the room they are dancing in.
In an episode of Arrested Development, Buster dances in the stair car to Mr. Roboto, until his hook gets stuck in the dashboard. The reason for this is that the actor for Buster, Tony Hale, was, a couple weeks before, in a VW comercial where he does the robot in the car.
In the movie Major Payne, Damon Wayans performs the robot in a dance club scene.
