Ticking/Strobing/Popping/Locking.

TICKING-  Rather old-school, almost a forgotten art. : /  This involves short movements of the body with brief pauses in between.  This is faster than strobing.

STROBING-  Often lumped together with ‘ticking’, strobing is the ability of one’s body to mimic the appearance of being under a strobe light.  It involves short, ticking movements.

POPPING-  Often confused with locking, popping is actually faster than its counterpart.  It is the new-fangled form of ticking.

LOCKING-  Longer movements created by suddenly acquiring or losing tension in many areas of the body at once.  The robot is a form of this.

KRUMPING-  A spiritual dance of the hood; high energy, release of violence and aggression.  (Rize is a great movie to look into this culture.)  Inmate looks very funny trying to krump- but I definitely try, LOL.

 

I’ll leave it up to you to find videos if you want them because I have no sound on my computer… but you can link them to me and I can check them out and be like, "Yes that’s it."  Or, "Umm… that’s whack."  : ) 
Any other questions?  Let me know and I’ll answer (if I can)!

Err no I haven’t seen it but I’ve seen trailers for it so that’s why I thought it might be relevant! Later.

Well thank you for that lovely tutorial. Believe it or not, but I actually knew what “Krumping” was. I’d seen the film maker’s of one such film on “The Late Late Show w. Craig Fergusson” a while ago. It’s a film I’d always wanted to see, but sadly am unable to find anywhere around these parts. Looks cool, though.

Ryn’s: Yes that’s the same pile o’ crap the city seems to dump for me to shovel back into the street. Seems like a moot point, don’tcha think? As for Eva’s pic.., You don’t like? It’s the only one I could find that didn’t have her posing in a skimpy bikini. I don’t personally find her all that attractive, and didn’t want reader’s to think I had a “whatever” for her. Welcome home & keep dancin’!
