Boogaloo is a freestyle, improvisational street dance, closely related to popping dance and turfing. It's best known for the dance move known as the Robot; it is also related to the later electric boogaloo dance.[1]

Boogaloo dancers use illusions, restriction of muscles, stops, robotic movements, and wiggling to create a soulful, passionate, animated form of street dance.[2] The style also incorporates foundational popping techniques, which were initially referred to as "Posing Hard".[3][4]
