The dance is characterised by its rhythmic, bouncing movements and its isolation of body parts, such as the arms, legs, and torso.
Popping and locking is said to have been influenced by a variety of other dance styles, including tap dance, jazz dance, and martial arts.
It has also been influenced by the music that was popular at the time, such as funk, soul, and disco.
Popping and locking quickly gained popularity in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s, and it has since spread to other countries around the world.
