POPPING dance

Popping is a dance style and one of the original funk styles of dance that came out of Fresno, CA in the 1970s.[1] It is based on the technique of quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to cause a jerk in the dancer's body, referred to as a pop, tick or a hit. This is done continuously to the rhythm of a song in combination with various movements and poses.[1] Popping is also used as an umbrella term to refer to a group of closely related illusionary dance styles and techniques that are often integrated with popping to create a more varied performance, but it is distinct from break-dancing, with which popping is often confused. A popping dancer is commonly referred to as a popper.
Like other styles of street dance, popping is often performed in a battle trying to outperform another dancer or group of dancers in front of a crowd. This gives room for improvisation and moves that are seldom seen in shows and performances (also referred to as freestyling). It also allows for interaction with the other contestants and spectators.
