Amen. I think there's a big rift on this one between people who go to clubs and people who don't. Give me poplock, breakdance, and some glowsticks over Samba any day!


Nothing against y'all non-clubbers, of course

Coming from someone who watches the stuff, I'm more amused by the poplock stuff than I would be by salsa or meringue. It's definitely more amusing to watch, but then again I don't have to do it 10 billion times.

Don't feel too sorry from me . I manage along with what's out there pretty good. And the ratio of female to male dancers ... is good.

Hmm. Poplock has never been my favorite, but it's not all bad either in my eyes. And as some have said, I -have- gotten a fair deal of notice and compliments when dancing Poplock(2). Hopefully the 4 new flourishes will make it a more enjoyable dance and elevated from 'okay' to 'really fun' in my own book. Right now though, my personal favorite is still Formal. (Perhaps it will become Lyrical once I get that.) I have to agree, just plain MORE dance styles would be really nice. As for my own addition to the wishlist -- I'd really like some good ballet moves! (Just for the record, if there's one dance I actually -don't- like, it would have to be Footloose with its 'Frankensteinish' movements that look like your feet are both tied to the floor. Just IMO, of course.)

lol Sinda... you gotta be kidding me... and to be honest your post pisses me off. if you're gonna call poplock a lost cultural fad, you don't know the half

there are those of us out there who like hip-hop and the funkstyle dancing that's been a part of it for the last 3 decades. if it's not your flavor, fine but you sound retarded dissing it like you do. I know MANY people here in LA who make a living teaching B-Boying, popping and old school locking and no matter where you look, it's **edit** near impossible to find a choreagraphed modern dance routine without poplock moves in it. If you think poplock begins and ends w/ Michael Jackson, you might as well say Shakira invented the tango coz that's how stupid you sound

poplock is the only thing male dancers can do in this game and not look like queerbait

You aren't *forced* to do it, I skipped it very happily -- maybe took an extra hour of dancing but who cares. In a larger group the experience difference was really negligible -- it was less than the natural variation due to players having to stop and rest. If you are dancing alone it might matter more.


I would most definately love to see more visually interesting dances replace those that very few people find appealing.


I also wish that skill gain didn't depend nearly so much on which dance you did so that we could dance whatever dance we wanted to like musicans can play lower songs.

I agree with the poster who said they should add LIQUID as a dance type, that would be completely awesome,I personally jsut got Novice Dancer and Poplock with it. Bust otu the striped pants, sneakers and tight shirt and start Poppin'. Finally a type of dance that you dont need to be all fancy or slutty while doing, no dresses or fleshwraps, jsut plain old clothes and poppin n lights hehe.



On a side note i Think Wookies should get 2 forms of music to accompany the other stuff at master level musician.... Beat-Box and Body-Music hehe And c'mon devs add SPOONS as a musical instrument LOL


Ok Ok getting serious, I Know my fiancee would love for his Smuggler/entertainer to be able to play the low level stuff (as his template doesnt leave many points) with a HARMONICA! The musical instrument of the down and out everywhere. Simple to use, years to master. How about electric guitar? or Synthesizer?


Fooey on takin poplock out, it is a cool style, love seein the fat wookies do it. Its great!

It always seems that everyone loves poplock and poplock2 but the dancers, people request "the robot" all the time. I never noticed poplock or poplock2 having the full 8 flourishes am i missing something?

No, you're correct. Most of the dances only use 4 flourishes (1-4). The 5-8 flourishes are placeholders left over frombasic, I think.

poplock looks 10x better on a male dancer. My rodian got more comments/tips doing poplock than anything else.
