Locking is a funky and playful street dance style that originated in Los Angeles in the late 1960s. Created by Don Campbell, the style was first called Campbellocking and quickly gained popularity thanks to its high energy, comedic flair, and big, exaggerated movements.
Characterized by sudden âlocksâ or freezes in the middle of fast, fluid moves, Locking is both dynamic and expressive. It features points, wrist rolls, jumps, splits, and plenty of interaction with the audience, making it one of the most entertaining and joyful street dance styles. Locking grew alongside funk music, with groups like The Lockers bringing it to TV shows, concerts, and stages around the world.
More than just moves, Locking is about personality, fun, and connectionâitâs a dance style that encourages you to perform with confidence
