Now let's move into some pop locking moves. One pop locking move you saw first was the pop lock jump when you're kind of here. Your hands are in front of your chest and you're going to jump out and bring it back in. You're going to bring it in, come out, and contract it back in. Another pop locking move is when you can do it individually where you put your hand in front of your chest and you pop it out. It could be done forward. If you're going to do it the other side, you're going to switch hands. The hand should always be out and straight and just pop your chest out. This move could also be done with partners. Bring your hands in front of the partner's chest. Her hands will come up and that chest will come in, or you can do a double pump. If you want to do some more advanced and you want to go to floor moves. The person in the middle, this is a 3 partner thing, will come down into a position like this. Lean back as far as you can. They will stand over and rise you up and up. Another dance that's really hot that's out right now is called the "pop lock and drop it," which consists of a lot of popping also but more of the lower body. Pop your leg right, left, and you drop.
