How to get started with popping ?

Back in the days if you wanted to get started with popping you have to go to a party or meet someone that does it. Now a day you can learn from online and videos. I still think the best way to learn this dance is to take a class and meet someone that does it. Then use the video or online to add on what you learned from your teacher. As a beginner its always important to learn the foundation and then build your style from it.
