Welcome Turfin' dude.
Looks like some old school "gliding" to me with some popping and locking thrown in for good measure.
If that's coming back then I'll get my shit together cos that was the only part of the Hip Hop dancing thang that I was any fucking good at !
You're pretty much on the nose with that summary, though TURF includes a bit more story telling elements and that's what makes it unique I think. Plus it includes some of what I like to call 'toe tipping', a lot of isolation and contortion (which I guess are basically in the pop and lock family), various crip walk (and wiggle walk) influenced moves that originate from old school tango and salsa steps, as well as tons of influence from early tap and jive (like the Charleston).
My favorite part of Turfin' is glising and sliding and floating, most definitely. Get your shit together, swoop over to Berlin, and let's hit a train station for good measure!
