History of Poppin
Locking and Popping (Electric Boogie)
Electric boogie is a style of popping (ticking). Both locking and popping or ticking originally came from Los Angeles. Popping was created by street dance crew ñElectric Boogaloo. Locking was created by ñThe Lockersî Both locking and popping existed a long time before breaking was born. During breaking era, b-boys started to put popping and locking into their dance. Mr. Wiggles says, since people in NY twisted popping and made it more funky and something different from original popping, they call it electric boogie instead of popping. (This comment about Electric Boogie is different from the following article, though. I am not sure which is true.) Nowadays, so-called “Breakdance” consists of breaking, locking, and electric boogie or popping. The following article is about history of locking and Electric boogie from a book “BREAKING AND THE NEW YORK CITY BREAKERS” written by Michael Holman in early 80s.
