Popping was popularized by Samuel Boogaloo Sam Solomon and his
crew the Electric Boogaloos. It is based on the technique of quickly contracting
and relaxing muscles to cause a jerk in a dancer’s body.

3. Locking
Locking or campbelocking was created by Don Campbellock
Campbell in 1969 in Los Angeles, California. It was popularized by his crew,
The Lockers. Locking can be identified by its distinctive stops. It is usually
performed by stopping the fast movement that you are doing, locking your body
into a position, holding it, and then continuing at the same speed as before. In
locking, dancers hold their position longer. The lock is the primary move used
in locking. It is similar to a freeze or a sudden pause. A locker’s dancing is
characterized by frequently locking in place and after brief freeze moving again.

community of South Central Los Angeles, California, and is a relatively new
form of the “Urban” Black dance movement. It is free, expressive, and highly

dance style to release anger. It is reported that gang riots in the United States
decreased because of the Krumping style.

using your body parts. The style was originally practiced by young funk dancers.

Egyptians. It is the position seen in this portrait that has been adopted by
dancers today. Tutting is still a greatly respected move and King Tut aka Mark
Benson is widely acclaimed for pioneering the style.

6. Shuffling
The Melbourne Shuffle (also known as rocking or simply The Shuffle) is a rave
and club dance originated in the late 1980s in the underground rave music seen in
Melbourne, Australia. The basic movements of the dance are a fast-heel and toe action
with a style suitable for various types of electronic music. Some variants incorporate
arm movements. People who danced the shuffle are often referred to as rockers, due
in part to the popularity of shuffling to rock music in the early 1990s.

1970’s disco era of the underground club seen in Los Angeles in New York
