Me from the UK. I was a body popper from the 1980s, and I have always admired and even tried to copy the incredible dancing skills of Poppin Taco. All I can say is that perhaps in this lifetime we will never witness again that high caliber of dancing,, body poping skills, or artistry like Poppin Taco. Poppin Taco we salute you.

[@SOURMARTINI0214]

His moves are so robotic that it’s almost unreal! I was mesmerized the first time I saw him dance. RIP to a true legend!!

[@hamanthony1]

Even his hair is poppin and lockin in rhythm. Baddest dude!!

[@TheIMaggoT]

Hahahahah reeal

[@Jack02829]

R.I.P to the one and only the legend himself...

[@MW-sl9lv]

Bruno is by far in my opinion “The BEST”!!!!

[@mikegonzales1832]

To this day ive never seen anyone do the moon walk with there legs that far apart and do it in the smoothest way...not even mj

[@djhergert1995]

That move he did after the moonwalk, almost like a forward moonwalk, was nasty as hell. Never seen someone do that.

[@coaldust01]

This brought a tear to my eye, Took me straight back the 80s.

[@jamesradskijr.9745]

Taco is the King of Pop Lock-in. His style has influenced soo many including the King of Pop, that speaks volumes, till this day he still has got, like they say legends never die.

[@paulosicne8498]

Why did the breakin/hip hop collaboration have to end in the 80s anyway? I was a teen in the 80s, but not in this scene. But it seems like when NWA and all that gangsta crap came out, a lot of people in the hip hop scene dropped breakin and started up with the whole gang bs.

[@TinyMaths]

It's so easy nowadays (relatively speaking). When I first learned about 'Popping' I must have been about 12 or 13 years old. The the only place I got to see popping and breaking were either very rarely on TV or actually in school when on the rare occasion a circle would form somewhere during the lunch break and there would be challenges. Aside from t hat I just didn't get to see enough of it; I guess it wasn't as big over here in the UK as it must have been in the states (or at least we were a lot slower in the picking up of this dance), so in attempting to emulate this stuff, I had no idea what I was doing. We didn't even have a Betamax or VHS player yet, so once the TV show as gone, it was gone. I remember a few friends putting down cardboard in the estate playground and everyone trying moves; we had no guidance really. Such a shame. But it was fun to do anyway. Kept us over energetic kids busy. Now there's all these clips of amazing artists doing jaw dropping moves; I only recently discovered Poppin Taco. I can't imagine how this would have blown my mind to see back then when it was fresh off the press. I might not have even been able to process it. It's magical to see this, even all these years after it was made.

[@peterschnabel1583]

❤that forward Moonwalk was sick as fuck ❤😂😅

[@eurostar0711]

That moonwalk was before Michael Jackson started doing it. This guy was artistic director and choreographer for Michael Jackson for 16 years.

[@AC-mp7cx]

michael knew it first though

[@ufonious747]

This clip was NOT before MJ did it. MJ knew it already. He actually knew it years before he debuted it on the Motown 25….after MOtown 25, he called BOOGALOO SHRIMP over to his house to help him perfect it.

[@SOURMARTINI0214]

It was Jeffrey Daniel from Shalamar who taught MJ the moonwalk in 1980. The dance was around long before MJ, it was called the backslide. MJ renamed it the Moonwalk and debuted it At Motown’s 25th.

[@ufonious747]

@@SOURMARTINI0214 exactly correct. JD showed it to MJ around 80…Shrimp helped him perfect it after M25, at MJs request since shrimp had the cleanest backslide out at the time.

[@ufonious747]

That move actually dates back to the 50s with some people even saying the history began in the 20/30s. I haven’t seen any evidence of that though

[@mixeddmat]

Vato is bien firme!

[@affordableaquariumservices1663]

How come he didn't dance like this in the movie he's a lot better here

[@slabbyrider8665]

Scripted choreography

[@pabloenrikay]

A lot of the stuff he did in the movie was real amazing too though.... but since the movie wasn’t really based on him, we didn’t see a lot of what he can do..

[@ufonious747]

A lot of this was after the movie too

[@MrMelgibstein]

The moonwalk before Michael Jackson.

[@MW-sl9lv]

That’s who taught Michael J! Him along with Michael “Boogaloo Shrimp” Chambers.

[@ufonious747]

Y’all keep saying this lol it’s not true at all. These clips are POST Motown 25…and fyi, MJ knew of the ”Backslide” in 79-80…he just didn’t use it until Motown 25. Then AFTER Motown 25, he called Boogaloo Shrimp over to his Havenhurst mansion to help him perfect it.

Pop n taco was from another world with his popping... such an inspiration... when i first seen him wave and king cobra i lost my mind..... it didnt look real... i couldnt believe somebody can move in this way. LEGEND

[@MW-sl9lv]

I agree you!!!! I said pretty much the same thing when I seen him. Bruno was “Instantly” my favorite character & an ICON to me in dance & influenced me in that era (Showing my age a lil / I was 15yrs old)😄 Seen the movie at the theater & came out Hyped & Super Energetic after seeing them perform. LEGEND is Spot On!!!!

what's really sad is that Micheal Jackson never credited the ELECTRIC BOOGALOOS for the moonwalk and the dance POPPIN.....So fuck Micheal

i truly am so glad the as a history of dance/(authentic funk forms) we can see clearly what poppin is sposed to look like and feel like. thank you Taco..

[@MW-sl9lv]

I AGREE 💯

[@alltruenatural]

all his moves are amazing.....sometimes at certain points when I see Taco dance I yell out "IMPOSSIBLE" with my hands in the air. Which other popper smiles while he dances? Ladies and gentlemen, God sent this one.

[@ezbreakbeats3826]

Individually everyone has their freedom of expression, Taco Took basic stylez and mixed them into his own Creation..He was very in tact with his Body Muscle control intricately done with smooth perfection. hittin Tickin Tuttin boppn gliding poppn etc..Also Pop NTaco was the one who trained micheal jackson.and he's the O.G. So RECOGNIZE N GIVE CREDIT "Master Bruno Falcon "yuuppp"

[@pabloenrikay]

You couldn’t of said It any better..... he was very, very much in tact with his body muscle control, so precise... It was as if he can generate electricity with his movements.

[@Maher890]

@ Michael Smith, very true. Too many poppers are into flashy move and tricks nowadays

[@berkeleypoet]

what happened to poppin? why is it so watered down? the youth was supposed to take it to the next level like the Bboys did, instead it's soft and bubble gum, a matter of fact if taco or someone like him was to enter a battle he wouldn't be considered a popper AND I HOLD THE EB's RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FALSE DOCTRINE THAT DILUTED THIS ART FORM...they won't even let you bot , glide, or wave if they or their under 40 yrs of age clones is judging IT'S A SHAME TRUE POPPING IS A LOST ART

[@berkeleypoet]

notice he doesn't have to do anything fancy his mechanics are masterful TACO IS THE TRUTH
