Popping workshop with Kenpachi
Popping is a dance style originated from California during the 70s in Fresno, California or Oakland, California. The most popular origin story credits Fresno’s Sam “Boogaloo Sam” Solomon as the creator of Popping. Popping is a dance style that is the contracting and relaxing of the muscles to create a "pop" in conjunction with the music.
