Moves: The Walk-Out

Popin Pete and Boogaloo Sam breaking down the Walk-Out EB style.

The Walk-Out is one of the most fundamental move in popping IMHO; it can be done in many different variations and to all styes. It is the basic step in this dance; the basic way to move and travel as a popper. It’s inspired from the pimps’s walk on Fillmore street in San Francisco; this street used to be the pimps mecca back then, their specific way to walk, described in American Pimp (1999) is key to understand the cultural aesthetic behind the Walk-Out.

The Pimp walk, see the American Pimp (1999) movie.

 To me the Walk-Out tells everything; it shows the ONE in the music, the dancer’s FUNK and the dancer’s understanding of the dance. A Walk-Out demands timing and relevancy; it is transparent of the popper’s level because it’s used to organize his travelling, accent the music and express his charisma through Funk. Therefore, by watching the popper’s Walk-Outs you get to feel all that at once. Walk Tight.
