"On behalf of Expert Village I'm Safi Thomas from the hip hop dance conservatory. These are our dancers from the hip hop dance conservatory and we are going to teach you how to pop. So there are different forms of popping as well. As I mentioned earlier, popping came about the west coast and Boogaloo Sam was going through these stages and trying to figure out what types, what did he want to do with popping. How he is going to develop it? Well popping starts with/it comes together with other forms and other things that are actually happening already. So there is different forms of popping. You have ticking, you have strobing, you have vibration, you have hitting, you have tutting. That is just about 4 and there is about 53-60 semi different types of popping. We are just going to concentrate on just a few, just so you can get some of the basic and we are going to cover today is tutting. "
