hi people. i guess i could be considered new here since ive never posted anything before but im definately a noob at dance.

i was just wondering how to get good at doin the robot or really just that stoppered, laggy type of danceing. i dont just mean the dumb robot dance where everyones always pretending to do but like the actually cool stuff.

The robot is really quite simple. All you do really is tense up, and un-tense, and in between you move. Practicing in front of a mirror helps, and watching others do it helps a lot, since you can see all their faults and what they do. Welcome!

My advice is to start just by moving one stiff body part at a time. You're body has hinges just like a robot would. Practice using these different hinges. Starting with just your arms practice moving one hinge or bend at a time. I hope this helps.

Oh, you wanna learn popping, huh? (that's what it's called, btw). My advice is to look up Mr. Wiggles. He has a lot of good beats, and a lot of good advice on how to start. Start by doing some basic drills. If you look up a move called the fresno, that'll get you started on how to hit.
