"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 remember when you are in the club and you see someone dancing and all of sudden in the club it gets really dark and there are strobe lights all over the place. You see how the body looks when there is strobe lights on. That is what strobing is. Strobing is pretty much looking at movement at different points within a frame. So it is one movement that you are doing. So let's say you are doing boom, just a little simple movement like that that is one frame. Yet, if you break it up it would be 1,2,3,4 down. So that is strobing. So let's do that. Turn this way and we have 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 that is one frame. So it is and that is your strobe. "
