Learn a New Step: Popping

Popping is one of the four fundamental forms of hip hop dance. In this clip, B-Boy J-Sun teaches you some basic information about the hip hop dance form, popping. Try it out, then take a look at some great poppers from around the world who have videos on You Tube!

The Minnesota Shubert Center's Education Program launched a month long, online program called: Hip Hop Dance: From the Streets to the Stage. The program, which consists of mainly video work, but also has additional links and information, is still online at www.mnshubert.org/hiphop. If you are a student, educator, or just plain interested in hip hop dance, the culture of being a b-boy or b-girl, the Minnesota dance scene or just love the dance form, be sure to check out the link!

@MrKamikaD As this was made years ago and I have lobbied for new clips featuring dancin dave for popping cuz I specialize in Rocking and Breaking, I'll overlook your ignorance. Popping is a Funkstyle but still associated with Hip Hop culture, done to funk but also done to Hip Hop. Just watch some of my videos like B-Boy Meets Beethoven (J-Sun and D-Skreet) or BBoy J-Sun I and you will see my style. Where's yours?

[MrKamikaD]

What the fuck is he talking about?! Popping, one of forms of hip-hop?!

Popping is totaly different dance style than Hip-hop. Man. Do something with your wisdom, cuz your knowledge is pain for me...

@inme1234 this is what they call popping not waving.....

[goodgrief78]

If you guys all know how to wave, why are you watching a video called, "Learn a new step: Popping"? J-Sun is one of the most respected b-boys in the Midwest, he's not a popper, he's a teacher. Quit battling people on the internet.

haha im a dancer as well in waving there is no or right it depends on they know about waving he is actually showing the right steps on how to wave PROPERLY no RIGHT ok and he just needs to practice more so that he waves better than that and your hitting isnt good no offence i think its better if you hit with your muscle not with your palm :)

love it

[bandbROX247]

guys hes really a b-boy thats his main style this vid isnt to be the best at poppin its to teach the ones who need help even if u cant do something clean... ur learnin to dancers r always learning im pretty sure he knows his wave isnt that clean he knows dancin dave and his wavin is clean which means when he watches dave do a wave and compares it to his he knos the difference...so basically wat im sayin is yeah he needed to work on his poppin but its possibly for one to teach what their learning
