Popping Control Lab Path

Program Description

Popping and robot for dancers aged 7 and up. No experience needed to start.

Popping comes from the Boogaloo movement in Oakland, California, and it is danced to funk. Quickly contracting and relaxing a muscle makes a pop, or hit, on the beat. On this program a dancer trains that control two or three times a week: Foundation classes at their level, and Lab & Battle for freestyle and battles.
