Moves
- Crazy legs
- A footwalk that was created by Poppin Pete. He invented crazy legs by watching a boy called Crazy Legs dancing and changed what he saw into a Popping move.
- Fresno
- Basic movement between body, arm, and foot. It was created by Boogaloo Sam.
- A move, which defines all that is essential in Popping (also used in electric boogaloo). The Fresno can be performed in various ways as only the following requirements exist. In a fresno, the dancer moves side-to-side doing a hit on each turn with the leg and arm of the side the dancer has moved to.
- Neck-o-flex
- The neck twix between body and the neck.
- Old man
- A type of boogaloo style was created by Boogaloo Sam. Boogaloo Sam invented this move by watching an old man walking across the street.
- Twist-o-flex
- A technique where, as in the mannequin, the dancer creates the impression of unnatural body joints by moving and twisting various parts in sequence. Non-twisting parts should remain absolutely still. The effect resembles a Rubik's Cube moving, or somewhat a clay figure being modeled. It can be further refined by using hands to "push" or "pull" the body parts around.
- Walk-out
- A footwalk that took you from point A to point B. It is very common in popping.
