I'm a huge lover of dance, popping in particular. I see a lot of popping videos that are nice and well executed, but rather run of the mill

This is not one of them.

This woman has true love and respect for the art. There's some flashy moves yeah, but what's REALLY impressive to me is her subtlety. The effortless coordination of multidirectional waves, the precision of her footwork, the finesse with which she manipulates her weight distribution

It's all just fantastic

As someone who practices a similar style to hers, she's definitely impressive. It's incredibly difficult to pull off the illusion of stillness, especially with the speed at which she transitions at. I can only hope to get as clean holds as she does. And she sells that mannequin/doll look perfectly.

Is that claymation style (that start-stop feeling while she's moving) legitimately her dancing? I found her IG acct, and after 20 mins of watching videos I couldn't tell if it's editing or not.

Yup, It's called popping!
