Best Robot DanceEver as seen on So You Think You CanDance!
 The robot is simply the illusion of being a robot. Movements of therobot are
normally 
started and finished with a dimestop (a veryabrupt stop), to give the impression of motors starting and stopping,but poppers have also been known to do the robot with apopto thebeat. As long as the illusion of being a robot is maintained, it isconsidered the robot.Robot dancing is often considered a subsection of popping becausepoppers often include the robot in their routines, sometimes addingpops to the beat while maintaining the illusion of a robot, but therobot also exists as its own dance and is sometimes considered aperformance rather than a dance when the performer is imitating arobot without any music. When done without music it is considered tobemime, instead of dance. Street theater often featured mimes whodid a mechanical man or puppet style illusion, without music. In thelate 1960s the style was used while social dancing to funk or soulmusic. Charles "Robot" Washington was not the first to strictly imitatea robot as a mime however, he and his partner "Robot Ann" was thefirst to socially couple dance the style to music at parties and clubs,and it was at this point it became a party dance and later combinedwith other illusion styles to form todays popping style. The robot isone of the greatest Michael Jackson moves.
