Popping Open Level with Brooke Milliner
Summer Intensives 2025
About Popping Open Level with Brooke Milliner
This intensive will run from Monday 11 - Friday 15 August 2025.
Groove into Summer with our Introduction to Popping class!
The class will introduce you to the fundamentals of Popping, its rich history and its key pioneers. Founded in the late 60s/70s in Fresno, California, Popping is characterized by sudden tensing and releasing of the muscles or “hitting”, typically to Funk or Disco music.
These sessions will focus on the foundations of Popping, learning techniques and drills throughout the week culminating in a fun and funky choreography. This structured approach aims to enhance both your technical skills and artistic interpretation within the style, whilst grooving to music by a live DJ.
