Tecktonik (often abbreviated as TCK), also known as Electro Dance, Milky Way or Vertigo, is a style of street dance danced to electro house music based on a blend of techno and Hip-hop styles (late 80s vogue, 90s waving and old school breakdancing), and 70s disco, started in the early 2000s in Paris, France, at the club Metropolis.[1][2] It has grown in popularity through word-of-mouth and video sharing sites such as Dailymotion and YouTube.
The term Tecktonik is a registered trademark, and this has created issues for dance events or other uses of the name.[3] The creators of the Tecktonik brand (most notably, Cyril Blanc, the artistic director of Metropolis[4]) sell official products, such as clothes, CDs, energy drinks, etc. Tecktonik was featured prominently at the 2007 Paris Techno Parade on September 15.[4]

This is done continuously to the rhythm of a song in combination with various movements and poses.[1] Popping is also used as an umbrella term to refer to a group of closely related illusionary dance styles and techniques that are often integrated with popping to create a more varied performance (see below).[2] A popping dancer is commonly referred to as a popper.
Like other styles of hip hop dance, popping is often performed in a battle-trying to outperform another dancer or group of dancers in front of a crowd. This gives room for improvisation and moves that are seldom seen in shows and performances. It also allows for interaction with the other contestants and spectators. Along with hip hop dance, popping has also been incorporated into electronica dance scene to some extentIn the 1970s, the pioneer popping group the Electric Boogaloos (earlier known as the Electronic Boogaloo Lockers) greatly contributed to the spread of popping, partly because of their appearance on the television program Soul Train.[3] Their founder Sam Solomon (a.k.a. Boogaloo Sam) created a set of movements that evolved into the styles known today as popping and boogaloo after being inspired by one of the pioneer locking groups known as The Lockers as well as a fad dance popular in the 1960s known as the jerk.[4][5] While dancing, Sam would say the word "pop" every time he flexed his muscles, eventually leading to the dance being called popping.[1][3][6][7][8]
The Electric Boogaloos encourage the term Funk styles to identify the dance moves that came out of the west coast during the funk era.[1] The primary funk styles are popping, electric boogaloo, and locking. The funk styles were integrated into hip hop dance once the culture reached the west coast of the United States. They are now included in several hip hop dance competitions. Some state that popping itself existed in some forms in the late 1960s in Oakland, California before the Electric Boogaloos were formed and that the style cannot be traced to a specific person or group.[9] This is generally accepted regarding the various related styles such as animation, (ro)botting, and strobing, which the Electric Boogaloos themselves acknowledge.
