Popin’ Pete, Boogaloo Sam’s little brother, practiced his dance moves by watching Soul Train and doing the robot. Skeeter Rabbit grew up in Los Angeles, and originally was only a locker until his cousins, Boogaloo Sam and Poppin’ Pete introduced him to popping.

Collectively they use the title “people,” and they refer to one another individually as “citizens” when speaking of their participation in the authority of the sovereign, and as “subjects” when speaking of their subordination to the laws of the state.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
“Remember dancing in
those electric shoes?
Remember?
Remember music
and beware.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
