Find out what the difference is between these hip-hop styles known as popping and locking. Although the most accurate category would probably be 'funk styles'.

Instead of a dance tutorial, I decided to put the freestyles side on side so you can see how different they look.

Please pass this on and share this video with anyone that needs educating on the difference between lockin' and poppin'...I'm sure by the end of this video they'll start coming round to it! Thanks.

  • lol good stuff

  • Kieron's popping looked really fun. Some tutorials on popping from him would be cool.

    Anyways I am looking forward to the next locking tutorial ^^d

    Very funny /entertaining/educational video.

    Popping i guess is more isolated, flexing the muschles, and keeping up with the illusion.

    Locking i would say is alot of fast movement involving your whole body and is really fun to do once you get the hang of it. ^^

see all
