    Popping is a style of dance which many celebrity artists have tried to master.  Michael Jackson, Usher, and Justin Timerberlake, are just a few of the mega-star performers who have incorporated this unique dance style into their repertoire.

    Besides the actual pop, the flexing and relaxing of the muscle, I believe the two other major elements of this dance is (1) timing or rhythm and (2) isolation of the movement.

    Timing and rhythm is the most important aspect of any dance. We will work on timing of when to start a move and when to stop a move.

    Isolation of movement is another key aspect of this course.  We will drill only the arms, the legs, neck, and waist.  Eventually, we will combine all of these elements into one routine.

    We hope you will join us in this course.

    DS Players is the name of the dance group created by Ceech Hsu out of Mission College, Santa Clara.  This team was featured on America's Got Talent, San Francisco International Hip Hop Dance Fest from 2007~2011, Battlefest 360, BodyRock 2007 Champion, and RodyRock 2017 Anniversary Guest Showcase Performers.  Members are Ceech Hsu, Dennis Infante, and John Magat.  For the entire showcase video, you find it at https://youtu.be/kcEUxgxaYFo

    We recommend training to slower clearer beats.  Beats that are over 110 beats per minutes are too fast for beginner poppers.  We like beats that have easily identifiable clap beats.  This allows us to be 100% sure that we are training to dance perfectly on beat.

    How we dress and what we wear is also important when poppers dance.  In this video, I talk about what poppers wear and why we wear them.

    The most important factor in this video is the shoes.  Poppers generally wear shoes that have slick bottoms.  This allows the poppers to pivot easily and smoothly.

Requirements

  • Students need to have the desire to learn to dance.
  • Students must be honest with practice sessions.
  • Students must come with a positive "never quit" attitude.
  • Students need to understand English because the instructions are given in English.

Description

This course is the foundation for dancers to become poppers.  Beside the pop, the flexing and relaxing of the muscle, dancers must master body isolation, rhythm and timing, and muscle control.  Volume 1 of my Popping 101 series demonstrates simple and easy to follow drills for any beginner to start training immediately. 

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to dance and strengthen his/her ability to isolate body movements.
  • If you stand by the bar/wall when your friends are having fun on the dance floor, this course is made for you.
  • If you have already looked on YouTube for “how to pop” or “dance isolation” videos and you still cannot do it, then this course is for you.
  • If your dance teacher taught you a bunch of dance moves but never taught you how to stay on beat, then this course is definitely for you.
  • This course is designed for absolute beginners who have zero to very little dance experience.
  • If you think that just by watching without actually practicing, then this course is NOT for you.
