He’s had a long dance career spanning over thirty years. And today, OG popper Coco is inspiring a new generation through his continual investing and mentoring in students at Homeland and the local poppin’ scene. Along with a handful of other OGs, Coco has been contributed to the guidance of the new school with tips on technique, dance history, and personal wisdom. His intense hitting techniques combined with his waves and animation are benchmarks for many new poppers. And as a contest judge, he has shared his expertise and valued opinion with the growing culture.
You can see a clip of Coco in action here at Homeland:

He danced with Hugo “Mr Smooth” Huizar during their days touring with music artist Gerardo (aka, Rico Suave) in the early ‘90s. Today, he shares history with the new school, even blessing the Monday night class at Homeland with his understanding of New Jack Swing. As he continues to make his mark in a new decade of dancing, we say to him, “Thank you, Coco.”
