  • I wanted to have Chuck show the dance community a few Oakland Boogaloo movements that I feel relate to what we do in Popping today. This was a very informal and unplanned demonstration just to get an idea of some movements and also some history behind them. These are just some of the moves they did in Oakland during the height of the Boogaloo era there (1965-1980), but there are many more left to be shown.
    The years for each movement in this video correspond to the years Chuck witnessed the movements first hand. They are not necessarily the years the moves were created. For example, “Wiggling/Worming”, “Swinging the Arms”, “Hops” and “Puppet” movements were being done anywhere from 1965-1969 in Oakland by a generation of Boogaloo dancers that came before Chuck. I want to thank Chuck and all of these other Boogaloo dancers that came before us and honor their place in dance history.

    Thanx Oakland in regards to POP'N beginnings which I saw impressively at Electric Ballroom UK London in the 1980's dancing to Electro music (or what you call in the US Electro Funk) to Kraftwerk etc. But POP'N dance came in so fast and went out in a blink of an eye (might of been within a year or two in London) when Techno and Breakdance took over the scene and POP'N just went underground and thanks to Japan have recently resurface POP'N again with POP'N competitions since they have the money (and futuristic interest) to promote POP'N etc.

      France and Juste Debout which is now world wide along with the 'Electric Boogaloos" mainly Poppin Pete and Mr Wiggles were the ones to really bring into back into the fold not so much the Japanese.

    Could someone find MC Hammer around Oakland and have him demonstrate some of the dances he was doing in the 70's to early 80's. That would be dope!
