Bio

 Todd “PopNTod” Breithaupt has been regarded as one of Southern California’s innovators in popping, specializing in styles such as waving, robot, bopping, dimestopping, and animation. He has spent over ten years honing his craft mainly through self-practice and also with the help of the knowledge he has received personally from many of L.A.’s legends. Yet it was through spending innumerable hours street performing on Hollywood Blvd. or in his recent hometown, Portland, Oregon, that PopNTod was able to develop world-class mastery with the robotic styles and attain “incredible upper body isolation” as So You Think You Can Dance judge, Mary Murphy, once described.
 He has performed for and shared the stage with countless artists and groups such as Jabbawockeez, E-40, Ludacris, Common, etc. and even worked with Carnival Cruise Lines as a permanent hired performer. He has appeared in a number of commercials and other media including Chris Brown’s music video, “I Can Transform Ya” where the dedicated popper and Chris Brown perform side-by-side to some of Todd’s own mechanical choreography.
  Realizing that dancing is a gift to share, he has even played a large part in mentoring and/or influencing some of the world’s up and coming dancers including Dumbo of Poreotics, winning team of America’s Best Dance Crew 2009. Todd’s current performance crews are New Lineage, LXD [Legion of Extraordinary Dancers], Soulbotics Krew, and West Coast Avengers. He currently resides in Portland, Oregon where he teaches and performs regularly.
