The purpose of the work is to identify, analyse, and structure one of the understudied lexical components of papping and illusory styles. Research methodology. In the process of research, the principle of induction was used, as well as the following methods: analysis and synthesis – in the process of working with information sources; comparison – to identify identical facts and patterns; formalisation – for recording the detected timings in a single format. Scientific novelty. For the first time, in the process of analysing the dance vocabulary of popping and other illusory styles, their little-studied lexical component – timings – was revealed. A clear definition of this term is given, that is, the main characteristics of this component. Most of the used (basic) timings are identified and described, and their graphic record is also given. Conclusions. The analysis of the dance vocabulary of popping and other illusory styles made it possible to highlight their little-studied lexical component – timings. A clear meaning was also given to the term "timing", which is rhythmic after the use of dance technique (muscle control), which the dancer can impose on their own dance (dance movements, position). Research into this lexical constituent process has identified several "baseline" timings for popping and illusory styles. They are based on two basic dance techniques – pap and dime stop. Some of them correspond to individual dance movements or a specific illusory style. For a simple analysis and understanding of the timings, the article used a graphic model of their recording, which allows you to visually display the timings in accordance with the musical score. Thus, timings can be used as a separate lexical component of papping and its adjacent styles with their own characteristics and specificity. This component is closely related to music and, for the most part, a conflict for the dancer to diversify their performance by adding to its various rhythms.
