SKEETER RABBIT (Electric Boogaloos)

Stephen Martin Nicolas Vinsen - his full true name.

Skeeter Rabbit - his lockers name. There is such person whom call Skeeter Rabbit. He was one of founders of style « Skeeter Rabbit ». When Stephen has started to dance locking, style « Skeeter Rabbit » became his special style. he made it absolutely in another way since beginnings him to alter, and all began to name him « Small Skeeter Rabbit » or Skeeter Rabbit younger. As a result the name it was pasted to him, and he became Skeeter Rabbit. he has started to dance locking in 73-74yy. Many from lockers were his neighbours from Vazza. he constantly saw lockers and danced. he did not wish to be the dancer, he simply liked to dance.

When someone has told about popping (style), he was in perplexity since never him saw. he lived in a coastal area Dignity Francisco and saw only Dime Stopin, Robot and any other styles such, but he and did not think then, that this style differs that he saw and made. Then he has seen Samа Salomon (Boogaloo Sam) and Timoty Salomon (Poppin' Pete) and all has turned over.

POPPIN` PETE

Timoti Salomon - his true name

Поппин Пит, one of bright representatives of group " Electric Boogaloos " which has based and his brother Boogaloo Sam (Sam Salomon - has created his true name) and Nik Johnson (Robot Dzho from an initial team « Electric Boogaloo lockers »). Sam all of the beginnings also has created styles Popping and Boogaloo, in 1976, in Fresno California. Development of these styles also has begun with that moment. he has started to learn children from « Electric Boogaloo lockers », then Timoti became a member of this group in 1978.

In same to year when they have moved in Long Bich Kalifornija, Sam has called Timoti and has told, that has invented new style (they brothers, mothers different, and the father one). he all over again tried to explain all by phone, that it for style - something about reduction of muscles, the priest-priest and so on. When Timoti about it has heard, has tried to strain muscles and so to go, but all equally could not understand, how so it is necessary to do it "priest" by hands? he simply shook hands ;)) When they have moved in Long Bich, Timoti was only 16 years. And here when they still have not entered into the house, and stood at a bus stop, he has told Samу: « Well, show dance! Show! », he has told to wait. And here, when they have entered into the house, in the room, Sam has shown dance is has changed his all life. he never saw, what somebody so moved the body. They then have gone mad, they danced all the night long, and their mum shouted, that they would go to sleep, but they continued to stand and make movements before a mirror. Next day at Timoti the neck, hurted a body and hands hurted, but he should learn and persistently practised with Sam every day.

One of the most set questions: « As it is such style became such popular? In fact when only people have seen him, they spoke, that him dance, as though twitch ». Sam was still absolutely young when went to church and copied movements of people which danced under church music. Further, he in the end of each taken movement added "priest", reducing muscles. And so looked initial popping. The basis was very simple.
