This video of a rudiment is a combination of a few vital electric-boogaloo moves put together to take them apart and to play with them. Doing it to both sides creates a great feel for flow. Change things up, make them more complicated if too easy. Slow it down or leave things out to make it easie...

With the practice of dividing our arm into different, separate parts, each part becomes an isolated variable for more possible expresssion. This rudiment simplifies the notion of fixpoints and separation, but also makes it easy to follow for an audience, since the separated moving parts are not t...

Hands and arms are the most expressive parts of the body. Therefore we need to spend an extra amount of time working on fine motorics. With the shown combination you learn different arm and hand positions you can later on freestyle with by changing the order or sporadically usage of any of the po...

In this video, Storm demonstrates a tutt concept he learned from Mr Steen from Denmark. It is a great introduction to the development of tutt ladders in lateral and vertical ways. By doing so it widens the spectrum of possibilities and helps immensely with the retrieval of single moves that becom...

In this video, Storm shows an interesting way to get into the rigor aesthetics of strutting by adding a bit of curvyness.
While the first part of the clip is completely dedicated to a combination of arm movements, the second part shows two step-combinations that serve as the underlying dance for...

The walk-walk-swoop is a rudiment that serves Storm to demonstrate how move combinations can be deconstructed and used as isolated components.
The swoop is an old social or party dance that goes further back in history than the first appearance of Boogalooing or Popping in California.
The walk-...

In this video, Storm explains an exercise he is using to get more precision for all sorts of twist-o-flex techniques, by using a strutting/ Toyman position creating a "box" with his arms. Using the simple rule of keeping some ninety degree angles in certain body parts works miracles here.

The Wackel Dackel is a mechanical effect that adds swing to your robot dance. It is a core move that is mainly executed by combining the isolation of the hips, the chest, and the neck. By doing so the body creates a wobble.

The Lanyard motif was discovered by Storm and Prince Mio in the early 2000s. The Lanyard works like a measuring tool. Gauging body parts and playing around by using all sorts of possible movements while the lanyard limits the range enables dancers to memorize these limits. After some time of cult...

By exploring the realms of the twist-o-flex Technique of the Electric Boogaloos I developed a strong leg pop effect while turning on one foot. By using the exercise I show in this video one can cultivate the notion of spinning on one leg, doing neck flexes, and popping the leg one stands on at th...

This video is a tutorial about a leg roll rudiment I´ve been teaching in my classes for quite some time now. The rolls emphasize on leg and hip movement. Then comes an appendix of an arm movement, two kicks, and a pivot to change it up in contrast to the rolls. Learning this combination facilitat...

The Counter-Move-Principle must be applied for most moves that should create a mechanical effect. In this video Storm gives a great explanation on how to use all body parts and how to progress quickly and steadily in the style of popping by respecting the musical patterns of the general rhythms o...

With this video, Storm gives you an introduction to the principles of the Twist-o-flex style invented by the Electric Boogaloos. By learning the shown rudiment you enable yourself to isolate the different body parts and ingrain them for improvisational purposes.

The Neck-O-Flex was invented by the Electric-Boogaloos. Storm learned it from Skeeter Rabbitt in 1996. Even though the movement only consists of two counts, it only really gets its great illusionary effect when all principles are applied. These are:
-the Fix-Point, by fixing the head.
-the count...

The Twist-O-Flex rudiment is one of the three most important move combinations that lead you to the Twist-O-Flex style.
The electric Boogaloos came up with it in the late 1970s. It is one of the moves that are universally known all over the planet.

The Master-Flex was invented by the Electric Boogaloos. It is regularly done in a combination of an eight count. While the shoulders constantly swing from side to side at a 180° angle, we are changing levels and adding leg and head movements. It is best to practice it back and forth for more vari...

When improvising we tend to get lost in thoughts. While the music plays at a steady pace we as performers must be able to stay coherent with it and build our rhetorical narrative.
-Time changes
-Stops
-Repeats
have a great effect in keeping our cognition on point and getting our message across. ...

The Old-Man by the Electric Boogaloos is a concept in which the shoulders and the hips are somehow isolated from one another. It is always either the shoulders that stop at a fixpoint or the hips that stop, while the rest spirals around.

The Airplane-Wave is executed by moving from one side fingertips over to the hands, arms, and shoulders to the other side's arm, hand, and fingers.
The most frequent mistake is that of moving the arms and the shoulders at the same time.

The Tidal-Wave is a wave done from head to toe. Not only is it important for waving in general, but being able to start a movement other than from the body center can develop a great illusionary effect. Movements that start with the head look like a person is getting pulled by a string. Starting ...

The style of Tutting is one of the most prominent ways of expression inside the realms of all illusionary dance forms.
The rules and principles of the art are simple to grasp on, but quite hard to execute. It is mainly about constructing poses with 90% angles.
We move by:
- folding
- tracing / c...

The Magazine-Style in tutting is based on the reference to a paper magazine that one plays with by folding and unfolding abstractly.
this 8-count rudiment is a great start to get into it. It serves particularly well to start a popping solo with since its moves are intriguingly detailed but small.

This video contains one of my favorite Tutting rudiments. It is part of the boxing style. The combination also contains a move I learned from the Popper and overall great artist Shawn from Oslo about 20 years ago. I usually practice things like that when I don`t have much space, like in airplanes...
