For all you uneducated peoples out there. . .
Raving is not near close to popping
Ravers either "Liquid" or go "glowsticking"
Ravers pop too (or at least try )
Liquid is when they do the fluid movements with their hands such as making them waves with their hands they have a "liquid" movement to it unlike "popping" where you actually "pop" you stiffin your muscles and lock your body in place.
POPPING IS NOT LOCKING!!!!!
AND THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS POP-LOCKING
YOU EITHER POP OR LOCK! END OF STORY!
"Locking" is like the funk style of dance, it was created by. . .
Don Cambell while trying to do the funky chicken stumbled on to
what is known as "Locking" (First professional 'street' dance)
Locking has moves like the "uncle sam points" to "wrist rolls"
It's fast and it's a non-stop dance ou just go til you done with your routine.
"Poping" has many styles to it
popping - the basic style where you "pop" your body
close to the robot, but in popping less robotic and tightening of the muscles
hitting - is more "sloppy" if you will, harder popping, bigger movements
Struting - is a continuous movement example: walking but in
a series of motions
IT IS BETTER TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE FOR POPPING & LOCKING
GO TO A B-BOY EVENT LIKE FREESTYLE SESSION OR B-BOY SUMMIT
SOME ILL ASS EVENTS OUT IN CALI
YOU'LL SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE DANCE FROM THE RAVERS
I know you all know glowsticking, it's basically waving glowsticks around whether it be on string or hand
then they got these cats that use lights now a days which is
pretty dope if they do it right(same usage as the glowstick)
ON ANOTHER NOTE
YOU CAN'T COMBINE!!!!!
YOU MAY ADD DIFFERENT STYLES LIKE FROM POPPING YOU GO
INTO HITTING AND THEN GO OUT AND LOCK. PEOPL SEEM TO "COMBINE" EVERYTHING LIKE "POPLOCKING" OR WHATEVER
"LIQUID POP" IS DIFFERENT IT'S NOT EVEN A COMBO.
"rave is flowing wit tha song. goin wit tha beat of tha track. bumpin and flowing. bumping to techno" - Street RSX
YOU GO WITH THE BEAT WITH EVERY DANCE!!
YOU POP TO THE RIGHT MUSIC YOU LOCK TO THE RIGHT MUSIC
NOT ONLY "RAVE" DANCE DO.
POPPING AND LOCKING ARE 2 DIFFERENT THINGS AND THERE A PART OF B-BOYIN (BREAKIN OR BREAK-DANCING AS YOU LIKE TO CALL IT) BREAK DANCING WAS THE TERM THAT WAS POPULARIZED BY THE MEDIA IT'S ORIGINALLY CALLED B-BOYING AND STILL IS TODAY STOP CALLING IT BREAK-DANCING
B-BOYING HAS DIFF. PARTS TO IT
POPPING
LOCKING
POWER MOVES
UPROCK
DOWNROCK (FOOT WORK; STYLE)
THEY ARE ALL SEPERATE THINGS BUT ALL PART OF B-BOYIN
Hmmmm. . . sorry for sounding like i'm yelling but i'm really not although i am a bit upset on how people mix things up but this was just to give you the "truth" just givin ya some edumacation
for ya heads out there.
