No, popping and locking isn't b-boying. They're types of hip-hop dance, but breakdancing includes toprock, downrock, power moves, freezes, and suicides, while popping and locking involves the fast but choppy movement of turns, twists, etc. with your arms while standing.

It depends how the audience views dancing, but it's likely that bboying (breakdancing) willl always be more preferred, impressive, and healthier than popping, because bboying applies balance, strength, speed, and precision to execute power moves like cricket, kip-up, and frontflip. Popping probably beats bboying when you add roboting (like from Madd Chadd in Step Up 3D).

What is breaking popping and locking?

Breaking, popping, and locking are distinct styles of street dance that emerged from the hip-hop culture. Breaking, also known as b-boying, involves dynamic movements, including spins, freezes, and footwork, often performed to breakbeats.
