Talk:Electric boogaloo (dance)

message: there's a dispute as to whether boogaloo sam actually created the style or not. perhaps we should edit the historical information from the popping talk page and put it here instead. Wongba 18:08, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've now made an attempt at making the article a bit more neutral and clearly point towards the sources. I'd be glad to include other views on history, but we still need more quality sources. Currently, there are hundreds of websites claiming that the Electric Boogaloos created both popping and the electric boogaloo dance style, but I've yet to find one detailed and convincing article stating otherwise. - Wintran (talk) 23:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Historical Dispute

message: I removed the following because I cannot find any more information on it. Please provide source(s) accordingly:
:More recently - and specifically in London, UK and Brittany, France (Le boogaloo electrique) - the style has evolved and includes more modern moves such as 'the running man' and 'shirt pumping'. The evolution of this style is attributed to Steve Tracey and Mike Holladay who incorporated styles from Rennes, France with others from Exeter, UK. Examples of this style have been observed as far away as the USA, Japan, Russia and South East Asia.
(As far as I know, the "running man" was actually a dance move in old/middle school hip hop dancing of the late eighties, and not really related to popping at all.)
