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.

Waltzing robot teaches beginners how to dance like a pro

Do the robot boogie
System Robotics Laboratory
Got no one to dance with? Not to worry – you might soon be gliding through the moves, thanks to a robotic instructor designed to teach humans how to dance.
The robot’s designers had already created mechanical dance partners that follow a human’s lead, but the new machine gently guides novices through routines while adapting to their skill level.
This is trickier, says Diego Felipe Paez Granados at Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan, who led the research, because the robot must keep students on course without becoming too forceful.

The 1.8-metre-tall robot has wheels, but its upper body moves like that of a human dancer. A force sensor and two laser rangefinders track its student’s movements, which are compared against motion-capture data recorded from professional dancers to judge their performance.
As they progress, the robot gradually reduces the force used to lead them so they become less reliant on its guidance. Its face displays real-time feedback to help pinpoint mistakes, as well as showing them their overall progress to provide encouragement.
In tests with volunteers who had never waltzed before, five out of six improved, according to results to be presented at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Singapore later this month.
With another group, the robot was not programmed to adapt to students’ progress and four out of six showed no improvement.
Enabling robots to teach humans through physical interaction could have applications beyond dancing, says Paez Granados, from physical rehabilitation to sports training.
“There are special skills and sports where the trainers are not always so open to everyone,” he says. “If you have this system that is good enough to teach you as well as a professional, then it could have a huge market.”
Etienne Burdet, who works on human-machine interaction at Imperial College London, says the underlying approach has already been adopted in robots used in medical rehabilitation – but extending it to complex, full-body interactions such as dancing is an important contribution.
Understanding more free-form physical interaction between humans and machines could be important for many applications, including the handover of controls between human drivers and autonomous cars, he adds.

Robot Dance training for beginners (NEW) ALL LESSONS >>>
Robot is one of the styles of modern street dance. The robot style was the basis of the popping dance style. The direction of the robot had a strong influence on the development of other directions, such as dubstep dance , electric boogie . Even in the hip-hop style, techniques taken from the robot style are used. Therefore, learning a robot will make your dance more expressive and stunning.
1. About the robot dance. Basic Robot Dance Technique (Video Training Course on Robot)
First of all, pay attention to fixing the dime stop and how to do isolations correctly.
It is these things that give a feeling of mechanicalness and iron, creating the image of a terminator or a moving combine according to your desire))) Also, do not rush and do not try to keep up with the music, because your robot is not late for the train!
Another little secret that will allow you to blow the mind of any viewer. Try not just to move like a robot, but try to become a robot at the moment of the dance! Then all your movements will be transformed and become true!

2. Sequences in robot dance. Training for beginners
As such, there is no basic technique in this style, but it is replaced by the principles of dance performance. One of the most important principles is the principle of sequence of movements.
That is, one next movement does not begin until the previous one ends. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule, as to any rule, but at first it helps a lot to avoid mess and confusion when performing a dance. Here, in general, the main thing you need to know for the successful development of this spectacular style!
