Is the English name of mechanical dance POPPIN or POPING?

Mechanical dance (or machine dance) is a style of funk dance and street dance, which basically makes the dancer's body tremble with the help of the skills of rapid muscle contraction and relaxation. This skill is called "popularity" or "hit". Dancers will use many different movements and postures to match the rhythm of the song. Mechanical dancers are also called "poppers".

In the late1970s, a mechanical dance company from California called "Electronic Bugaro" (known as "Electronic Bugaro Locker" in the early days) made great contributions to the promotion of mechanical dance, partly because of their performance in the TV program "Soul Train". Electric Bugallo claimed that during the period from 1975 to 1976, Sam Solomon, the founder of the dance company, was inspired by the lock dance pioneer group "The Lockers" and the popular fashion dance "the jerk" in 1960s. When dancing, Sam says the word "bang" every time he stretches his muscles. Finally, this dance is called "popping", and many people have confirmed the story of electronic Bugalos, that is, Bugalos Sam has mastered the basic skills of popping.

Other closely related dance styles, such as robot dance, are considered to have existed before mechanical dance. Some people say that mechanical dance already existed in Oakland, California in some form before the establishment of electric bugallo1in the late 1960s, and this dance style cannot be traced back to any specific person or group. The mainstream media attributed the popularity of mechanical dance and its related dance steps to movies such as "Breakin", but at the same time, all these dance styles were called break dance, which led to confusion of names. Michael Jackson also promoted the popularity of mechanical dance, and his dance moves, such as walking on the moon, are widely known. But it also caused another confusion in name, because the dance step of "walking on the moon" appeared in mechanical dance long before Michael Jackson became popular. Electric Bugallo himself thinks: "When Sam created mechanical dance and Bugallo, others were also creating and practicing their own unique dance styles. At that time, every different area on the west coast was famous for its unique style, and behind each style there was a wonderful story of its own. These areas also include Oakland, Sacramento and San Francisco. "

The action of "Walking on the Moon" has many skills and styles, which are combined with mechanical dance to make dancers strengthen their dance and perform different performances. Many of these techniques are quite rare outside the scope of mechanical dance. When the definition of "pop-up" is widely used, these will also be considered as part of pop-up.
