If we go to one of the purest forms and definitions of popping, it is actually to act or imitate as a robot. Robotics is all about dime stops. So dime stops is another huge fundamental dance style of popping. And it is the ability to freeze at a point in time.
Now technically speaking, you don’t even really have to hit to do dime stops. It’s more of just about the freeze. You definitely see a lot of poppers do a miniature hip when they dime stop.
Dime stop is definitely used a lot in robotics and I think it’s a great tool to use to develop patience when you dance. Starting out, it’s really easy to get caught in, “I got to do this. I got to go over here and do that.” But dime stops force you to freeze. So practicing dime stops can develop patience which is an awesome thing to have starting out.
So dime stops are I think a really easy move you can do on the first try. It’s just about freezing. So I’m going to give you a pattern to follow. Start with the left and the right arm to match it. And I’m just going to pick four corners. So I’m going to go left, down, down right, right.
Pop.
Now, I want to add a little bit more. I’m going to start using my heels to turn. Heels. Head.
Robotics is actually I think one of my favorite dance styles. I found myself roboting throughout the whole day. Roboting is definitely something that you can take your natural day-to-day movements and turn that into robotic style kind of dime stops.
So for example, let’s say I’m at dinner table. That’s the way I’m going to sit down. I put my arms out, set my plate right here, instead of just reaching out to get my fork and grab, I can go. So really, it’s just about using a regular way of doing things and thinking like a robot and using dime stops to kind of beat your communication for interpreting that as a dance.
I want you to think of a natural thing you do every day whether it’s brushing teeth or [0:02:26] [Indiscernible] and interpret that right now as a robot. If you were a robot, how would blank? OK? Fill that spot in. And we’ll catch you guys again.

How To Robot Dance - Easy Robot Dance Moves
You do not have to be a trained classical dancer to learn the robot dance.
The robot dance has two versions - the Michael Jackson one and the “everybody” robot dance. While you may take time to perfect the legendary Michael Jackson moves, you can try your legs and arms at the “everybody” robot dance, for sure. Moreover, with dedicated practice, you can master them in no time. The robot dance, also known as mannequin dance style, demands imitating the dancing motions of robots to come up with a crooked yet cool dance form. With a little patience and constant practice, you can melt hearts on the dance floor and have a good time. So what are you waiting for? Put on some dance music, like “Mr. Roboto” by Styx or “Kyur for Itch” by Linkin Park, and set the stage on fire. Learn some easy robot dance moves by steering through the instructions stated below. Watch all the heads turn as you display some of your coolest robotic dance moves amongst the crowd.
Easy Robot Dance Moves
Set Your Back Taut
Remember, robots have their vertebrae missing and the whole idea behind doing a robot dance is to imitate robotic movements.
Thus, the accuracy of your movements will judge how successfully and efficiently have you done your robot dance. Therefore, keeping your back firm and stiff is the backbone of any robot dance move.
Bend Your Arms
Bend both your arms at the elbow forming a 90 degree angle. Maintaining the position, raise one arm at a time, such that the open palm reaches your eye level. The move is one of the signature steps in a robot dance and should resemble a chopping motion. Alternately, raise your arms throughout the dance while maintaining a slow pace.
Pivot Your Head
While raising your arms alternately at a slow pace, swivel your head from right to left, repeating the motion at regular intervals. Make sure that your neck and head are upright and taut to your best possibility. Combined with your arms, this completes the upper-body portion of the robot dance.
Walk Around
Though it is fine to keep your robot dance stationary, advanced robot dancers prefer to use their legs and move around displaying their skills and talent.
To mete such potential robot companions, you can start walking around while performing the upper-body movements. However, maintain your pace in your walking as slow as in your arms and head. As your raise one arm, take a step, keeping your legs bent at the knees in 45 degree angle.
Bend At The Waist
After you have mastered the above steps, reveal your perfection and talent by continuing with this move. Keeping your back taut and stiff, perform all the steps combined together and bend at your waist in a 45 degree angle occasionally. While maintaining the bent position, you can let lose your arm swinging it back and forth like a pendulum. To show your flair and style, end your robot dance with a robotic bow.

Actually, this was the motto of the Noize MC concert, which took place on November 7 within the walls of the A2 club. The group, led by its leader Ivan Alekseev, performs in St. Petersburg on a stable and regular basis - about twice a year. But this time the concert was dedicated to a special occasion - the release of the new album "HardReboot", which means that something special awaited the fans.

The night before, Noize MC had already played an acoustic concert at Birzha Bar, but the club didn't become less crowded. The performance was sold out, of course, the stalls were packed to capacity, vip-tribunes, too. The Nevzyatag group had fun at the opening act, which, by the way, recently also posted its new album online. The audience took the warm-up quite friendly, many sang along, however, there were a couple of ill-wishers who expressed their displeasure too loudly. This is ugly, we are still at a “mass cultural event”, as Mr. Alekseev himself later put it, but here it is. But "Nevzatyag" coped with dignity, and after that they had to wait literally 10-15 minutes before the main characters of the evening appeared on the stage. nine0020
The concert was opened by one of the main songs from the new album “Robots”, the hall instantly came to life, it seems to me that the fences in front of the stage tilted slightly under the onslaught of the crowd. It was followed by the no less energetic "Captain America", but the fans in the hall were not at a loss and sang it by heart from beginning to end.
The set-list pleased indescribably: there were songs from the recently released album, and everyone's favorite hits like "Pool", "YesFuture" and "From the Window". Ivan dedicated the almost legendary “My Sea” to his wife, who, apparently, was watching the performance from one of the stands. Among the new songs were played “Come $omeAll” (by the way, the video was released just the other day), “Talking Heads”, “Save My Speech”, “Faryfury” and not only them. nine0020
I remember the incredibly poignant and sad song “M”. Petersburg poetess Marina Katsuba appeared on the stage to perform it. Perhaps it was one of the most powerful moments of the entire performance, when after a series of calm songs with heartfelt lyrics that Noize MC is so famous for, "M" caused an incredible reaction from the audience and the artists themselves. If you don't know what it's about, just listen, let's just say that it's dedicated to mom. Ivan admitted that this is the most "difficult song for him" from "HardReboot".
nine0013 But still, the tears caused by the touching words of the songs are only a part of the emotions that the fans experienced on themselves that evening. Minute sadness could not surpass the strength of delight, fun and the desire to dance and jump non-stop. The hall did not let up, between the songs everyone chanted “Noize MC, Noize MC, Noize MC!!!!” , for which the musicians did not have time to thank. There was also a virtuoso freestyle, bassist Alexander Kislinsky, reading a poem by Yegor Letov, a real rave party arranged by the group and their team right on stage to the song "Dancing", and the apotheosis of the whole action was Ivan's jump into the crowd in the middle of "Arrange Destroy" along with the guitar. Some resourceful guys brought flares to the concert and lit them in the center of the circle right in the middle of the hall during the performance of "I'm Burning Down". The flash mob artists were later appreciated on their page on the Internet, but according to rumors, safety violators were kicked out of the hall, and someone even had to call an ambulance.
However, there were no serious consequences. nine0020
The memorable moments can be listed endlessly, because there were an incredible number of them. But it is worth saying that the overall impression of the concert is simply unforgettable. Noize MC is not just an artist represented by Ivan Alekseev, but a full-fledged musical group that at one time raised the domestic alternative and rap scene to a qualitatively new level. Maxim Kramar, Alexander Kislinsky (who throughout the concert did not stop repeating that each of the songs is “about love”) and Mikhail Kozodaev are loved by the fans no less than the leader of the group. All of them are professional musicians who look organically on the stage and make a great show from any concert, no matter how big or small the hall is in front of them. Noize MC is one of the most prominent bands on the Russian stage, many of them should be equal in terms of the quality of the organization of live performances and the semantic focus of the lyrics.
