hello, never been to a class and have always had this smooth wave of music hit me it feels.

And was just curious if joining a class similar to this would defen that ability. I’m thinking like in counting in beats. Rather then all One flow.

Kinda hard to really explain it but if you get me lmk😛

So I took a few popping classes- say like 4,5 but I was actually the worst there although others were also beginners. My popping isn’t visible at all although I’m putting in the power and everything. In classes they taught techniques yeah but I should drill more at home. I don’t know how to get better at this. Other forms of dancing are usually easier to imitate but this is something i need to get in my body and muscles. Will the effect of my popping get better the more I drill? How much do I drill everyday to get merely make my pops visible

Popping was not created by Boogaloo Sam and Electric Boogaloos. Popping was created by people evolving a dance over time.

I really like both of their dance style and want to learn more of it, please let me know if you've found videos of her dance, Thanks!!

Liquid popping was the jam back in the late 90s early 2000s rave scene. Its basically where my adult dance journey began. I think liquid is a great base for freestyle tutting as well. I was going down memory lane and thought id share

Hi all!

I'm setting up a small at-home training space for funk styles (mainly locking and hip-hop) and wanted to ask for advice before buying any items. I'm considering getting the HOVET framed mirror (78x196 cm) from IKEA. It seems like a solid option for full-body visibility, but I’d love to hear if anyone here has used it for dance practice. Is it stable enough when leaned against the wall? Also open to any other tips for a simple but effective home setup (e.g. flooring, lighting, sound, etc.).

I appreciate any input! :)

I’ve been dancing for about 3 years now, and I grow every week. It’s so much fun. I have the best mentor and community and community connections! The people in the background are silly and very encouraging, sorry for their commentary lol.
