Popping is a street dance adapted out of the earlier boogaloo cultural movement in Oakland, California. As boogaloo spread, it would be referred to as "'''robottin''''" in Richmond, California; Strutting movements in San Francisco and San Jose; and the Strikin' dances of the Oak Park community in Sacramento, and "Pop-Locking" of Los Angeles which were popular through the mid-1960s to the late 1970s.
