    What exactly is Body Popping, and who started this form of dance?

    Question #90360. Asked by billythebrit. (Dec 27 07 2:22 PM)

    Popping is a funk dance and street dance style based on the technique of quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to cause a jerk in the dancer's body, referred to as a pop or a hit. This is done continuously to the rhythm of a song in combination with various movements and poses. A popping dancer is commonly referred to as a popper.

    It is generally believed that the dance evolved in Fresno, California in the 1970s, partly inspired by locking.

    Popping is also used as an umbrella term for a group of closely related illusionary dance styles and techniques that are often integrated with popping to create a more varied performance
