We have two young guinneas and they have both been doing a lot of jumping and twitching. Thought it was popcorn at first but I'm not so sure. In their cage it's definitely happiness but when we bring then to the couch or floor it seems different.
Here you can see the white one doing jt. Most times she's jumping 180s too.

Hi and welcome

It is still popcorning; just more restrained. Like with human dancing, every piggy has their own individual popcorning style - and some can be more quirky than others.
'Popcorning' and 'zooming' - joy and exuberance (videos)

But definitely no need to worry! :tu:
 
Just looks like popcorning/excitement to me... one of my pigs used to popcorn laying down as a baby... just random twitches! LOL!
 
Happy baby! Very cute! Wouldn’t be concerned.
 
Aw how lovely, my Kiki used to popcorn on her side when she was little
