Puppet dance is called Roboting, which is also a branch of POPPIN. The commonly used movements are Dimestop and LOCKing

Generally speaking, if you don’t understand the essence of this type of dance, you will misunderstand it. The concept of static dance being regarded as mechanical dance is actually wrong. There are many branches in POPPIN, including mechanical dance, which was the name of the 1980s, and puppet dance, and many others

Mechanical dance uses LOCKing At the same time, Dimestop movements are also used, but basically every beat has POP. Depending on the type of music, there are also some other branches of dance steps, such as Moon Walk or Wave

Puppet dance rarely uses POP. It is more suitable for girls because Dimestop’s movements do not require muscle training and they never use other dance branches.

Musically, it is basically the same as mechanical dance, with a little more POP explosive rhythm and a stronger sense of music. Puppet dance pays more attention to the matching of dance steps and music. Generally, the effect expressed by each set of movements is adjusted according to the music or the dance steps. Choose songs. Unless performing on stage, mechanical dance is generally a casual dance. Once the music comes, you can dance freely. Puppet dance requires detailed choreography of a set of dance steps for each song.

The costumes are simple. Mechanical dance emphasizes visuals. The ones with effect, such as top hat + suit + dance shoes or peaked cap + loose T-shirt + folded pants + canvas shoes

Puppets tend to be more provocative, such as clowns or makeup + strange clothes. Or retro dress is the most common, at least hip-hop

It feels like... I don’t know how to explain it in detail, just use a simple metaphor

Mechanical dance (POPPIN) is like A province

Puppet dance is like a city

Same style but the latter is included in the former.

That's it
