Vietnamese fans, including professional dancers and choreographers, have high hopes for dancer MT-Pop at the show. 

“I hope MT-Pop introduces Vietnamese contemporary dance to audiences in Asian countries on season 4 of Street Dance of China,” Nguyễn Lê Khanh, a student who studies dance at the Soul Music & Performing Arts Academy in HCM City, said.

MT-Pop is a professional dancer in Popping, a street dance adapted out of the earlier Boogaloo culture movement in Oakland, California. The dance focuses on specific body parts, creating variants such as arm pops, leg pops and neck pops. Dancers often move to funk and disco music. 

MT-Pop has offered Popping training courses in Việt Nam and China. He won top prizes at international dance contests such as Who is The Champion Malaysia in 2017, Jack of all Trades Festival Canada in 2018, Drop the Beat Australia in 2018, and Juste Debout Bangkok in 2019.

People can see his performance at Street Dance of China every Saturday on vieon.vn. — VNS
