On September 29, 2009, the Guinness World Record for the Largest Robot Dance was broken by Robogals at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Unlike other dances, the robot may also be accompanied a cappella by making vocal impressions of beeps or boops and other electro-mechanical sounds. The group again performed the routine on The Mike Douglas Show and the Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour in 1974. The Jackson 5 first performed "Dancing Machine" on Soul Train in late October 1973, where Michael Jackson performed a robot dance during the song's musical break. In 1969 Jack Wild did the robot in the "Mechanical Boy" episode of H.R. It is nonetheless common to use music not particularly suited for the dance, but which has a "robot theme". The best effect is achieved with music that has very distinct beats such as electrofunk. The Robot became popular around the world after Michael Jackson performed during a performance of the Jackson 5's " Dancing Machine"Īs with popping in general, the visual impact of the robot can be boosted by doing it in pace with music. Roboting has also been likened to the jazz-era folk dance of puppeting (a style also appreciated in some colors of experimental ballet), whereby the dancer would emulate the mechanical movements of a simple musical box doll. It was at this point it became a party dance and later combined with other illusion styles to form today's popping style. While not the first to imitate a robot as a mime, Charles "Robot" Washington and his partner "Robot Ann" were the first to socially couple dance the style to music at parties and clubs. In the late 1960s, the style was used while social dancing to funk or soul music. Street theater often featured mimes who did a mechanical man or puppet style illusion, without music. When done without music, it is considered to be mime, instead of dance. However, the robot also exists as its own dance and is sometimes considered a performance rather than a dance when the performer is imitating a robot without any music. Robot dancing is often considered a subsection of popping because poppers often include the robot in their routines, sometimes adding pops to the beat while maintaining the illusion of a robot. As long as the illusion of being a robot is maintained, it is considered the robot. Movements of the robot are normally started and finished with a dimestop (a very abrupt stop), to give the impression of motors starting and stopping, but poppers have also been known to do the robot with a pop to the beat.
It is a dance in which the dancer moves their limbs in a way that imitates the movements of a robot. The robot became popular in the 1960s, but goes back to the 1920s, when it was used theatrically in miming.
