I grew up in the 80's and this was considered "Popping", and this kid is in a league of his own. He put together a combination of moves that we knew as "waving, ticking, enhanced with a series of foot slides". His exceptional style can be taught or copied, but no one will ever be able execute it like him. This kid is one of a kind!

And i am having a big laugh how kids today try to give everything special names and over complicate things just to think they are smart ass kids. So back in my time where this started this was and for me still is a part of Breakdancing, and this guy DAMN GOOD! So every dislike comment that says this isn`t breakdance boohoo, deserve a straight punch to the face!

AGREED!!! Original meaning: "B-boying" (break-boying) or "Breaking" born in the 70's consists of four kinds of movement: toprock, downrock, power moves, and freezes. Toprock can draw upon many other dance styles such as POPPING, LOCKING, tap dance, Lindy hop, or house dance. From this perspective, this video is a form of 'breaking'! "Breakdancing" was a commercial term formed a few years later (going into the 80's) as a derivative of "breaking", though at that time "breakdance" was not an absolute or definitive type of dancing, and still included all the related variations of Breaking (including this video!!). It wasn't until the next generation (90's and onward) when "breakdance" became more definitive due to popular spread of new terminologies separating all the types of "breaking". The historical meaning of "Breakdance" can be denoted as just another term for "breaking", therefore it's ironic and paradoxical that the term "breakdance" itself could become it's own specific "form' of dance from all the other variations of "breaking". The conclusion, according to proper terms and contrary to modern popular belief, is that you are watching a person in this video who is indeed breakdancing.

@Kato Lee body-popping, if you will, a form of breakdancing, yes. I was a pro, breakin' in busker events as well as strong downtown street corners beginning summer if 1980, making money at it with other very talented. We all did the break spins and body mimes and some of us were better than others at various things, so we usually spot lighted our best talents in only some specific forms of breakin', and as a whole group we covered it all and it was called breakin' and soon to become the more popular term breakdancing in the following 2 years. Watch the movies, read the documentaries and understand that breakdancing has specific types of dancing... you wouldn't say a 'plie' in ballet is NOT ballet - it is a movement in ballet, but it's still ballet LOL C'mon!

Reece Sabatino I dunno...in the 80's when break dancing first swept the nation it was typically used as a catch all phrase to reference dancing done to breaks (the music genre)...what were calling boneless dancing was called boogaloo in the early 80's, pop n' lock'n, roboto, floor work, king tut, were a few of the more specific move sets that fell under the broad category of 'break dancing'. I suppose, with the advent of new dance music genres and generations of dancers, the terminology may have changed (even if just for some)...but if those moves are not break dancing...what is. No matter, good dance is good dance.

I never said it is. Tristen said "he's just bending his body". It's not quite as simple as just "bending your body" and the name for this dance is popping. Although it is often assumed that popping is a style of breakdance. The technique of popping means to quickly contract and relax muscles to create a jerking effect in the body.
@onceIhadalove

maddy verry You are incorrect. That isn't at all "body popping". Body popping is a street slang for spastic jump and lock mode. He is using the illusion side of break dance which incorporates very technical wave and floating techniques. This is the best the world will ever see and negative commenting is just not called for here. He is a genius. I was a state break dance champion in 1984. I won over many other contestants state-wide. I studied it intently for years and have performed all across the east coast. This man stands tall and deserves respect.

The official meaning of B-Boying: "B-boying" (break-boying) or "Breaking" born in the 70's consists of four kinds of movement: toprock, downrock, power moves, and freezes. Toprock can draw upon many other dance styles such as POPPING, LOCKING, tap dance, Lindy hop, or house dance. Therefore "Popping" is one of many forms of B-boying... do your homework young one. We were Breaking (break-boying) back in the day before the word "breakdance" was invented, and when it was invented, it was just a more commercial term of "Breaking".
