Why Is Popping Often Confused With Breaking?
The Electric Boogaloos were originally known as The Electric Boogaloo Lockers.
Popping is often mixed with animation, tutting, strobing, ticking and waving.
"Body popping" is a term that caught on in the media and dancers in general, however nearly all serious poppers refer to it as just "popping" or "poppin".
Skeeter Rabbit (RIP) who was a member of the current Electric Boogaloos was so called because he loved to do the locking step "The Skeeter Rabbit" which was created by the orginal Skeeter Rabbit of The Lockers.
Suga Pop is also a keen locker, often conducting locking workshops around the world.
It is believed that Poppin Taco, Poppin Pete and Jeffrey Daniel taught Michael Jackson how to "moonwalk" amongst other popping dance moves.
Today popping and isolations are often mixed into hip-hop dance routines and choreographies.
Poppin' Pete is the younger brother of Boogaloo Sam.
Popping is a technique (contracting and relaxing different muscles).
