Q4: I know this might be a silly question, but what is Popping and Locking?

A4: It’s not a silly question, I’m glad you asked.

Popping and Locking is a dance art form during the Funk Era, which is the 70′s.

Locking
-Is the very funky stop-and-start dance.
Takin’ you back to the 70′s where everything is about the funk.
A dance art form with improvisational steps.
Locking is about quick locks, points, hand claps, splits knee-drops,
and all those bouncy footworks.
If you’re not familiar of what real Locking is,  here’re some clips:

Popping
-Is another funky dance style after Locking.
Popping is the dance technique of quickly contracting and relaxing or ‘hitting’ of muscles to the beat of the music to create a jerky/snapping effect.
It involves boolgaloo, waves, tutting and animation.
If you don’t know what real Popping is, here’re some clips:

All of which are the very foundation
of the different Hiphop dance styles that you see now.
