Dubstep (/ˈdʌbstɛp/) is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in south London, England. Its overall sound has been described as “tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals”.

The robot (or mannequin) is an illusionary street dance style -- often confused with popping -- that attempts to imitate a dancing robot or mannequin. Roboting gained fame after Michael Jackson used the dance when he performed “Dancing Machine” with his brothers,[1] and later performed the dance during his solo career in songs such as “Billie Jean”.
