If you're trying it for the first time, it can seem a little complicated, but broken down into all of its parts, the dance is quite simple and fun. So break out your hip hop dancing shoes and get ready to Pop, Lock and Drop It.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Stand with your legs slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Bounce a little to loosen up before you begin the dance.

2. Hold your arms bent at your sides and twist your right leg in so you are slightly bent and your right knee is bent toward your leg. Your body should be slightly bent as well and leaning toward the left.

3. Unbend your right knee and then execute the same move on your left side. Remember to keep your body slight bent and leaning to the right side.

4. Place your hands above your head and then drop down to the ground as if you were doing a squat, but instead of stopping at a certain point, drop all the way down to the ground and immediately come, or "pop," back up.

5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 until the end of the song.

Tips & Warnings

• When you drop to the ground, remain flat footed because it will give you better balance and allow you to push back up again to continue this hip hop dance.
• This hip hop dance is a great workout and a nice twist on doing squats. Several reps of this dance a few times a week and your legs will be looking great in no time.
