Answer 1

you stand on the inside of your feet and bend back knees forward the object is for your legs to balance out your back and creat a table from your stomach you need alot of leg power to do it....its not that hard after you practice a bit. give it a try hun

Answer 2

@ Mia S --> There is no such thing as body popping and locking! where did you get that. Its just popping. Locking is a completely different and unrelated style. Clearly you dont do this type of dancing because that is basic knowledge.

Lookup 'Salah popping' on youtube--> Salah invented that move and uses it alot in his freestyles.

Answer 3

hey, its called "body popping and locking" and its a form of street and hip hop dancing, i do it :)

its a skill which is quite hard to master, you must use every muscle and joint in your body (for example, when both your arms are spread horizontally and it looks like a mexican wave going from left to right; or right to left is called an arm wave and in an arm wave you must you every joint to make it look effective)

popping is about tensing and loosening your muscles (the bit at the start where he pops his chest is called a chest pop)

and the movements with his feet are called glides (when he is moving across the floor and it looks like he is floating)

this is all about pushing and sliding your feet across the floor when one heel is up and the toe is down and having the opposite on the other foot. moonwalks and sidewalks are also a form of popping and locking.

it sounds a bit confusing but if you want to try it, try typing things like "body popping tutorial" .. "how to arm wave" .. "how to slide glide" etc. into youtube and there are some really helpful videos which are easier to learn from.

hope ive made things a bit clearer ;)

@ DR JEFF i think if were at dancer, you'd know that locking IS a form of street and hip hop dancing. if you dont then you cant really class yourself as a popper, locking is asociated with that. look it up idiot.
