Locking is a funk-based street dance style created by Don Campbell in Los Angeles in the early 1970s, characterized by fast, exaggerated arm and hand movements punctuated by sudden freezes, or "locks." It is performed to funk and soul music and is one of the foundational styles of hip-hop dance, popularized by groups like The Lockers. Dancers are drawn to its playful, high-energy character and its emphasis on musicality and showmanship.
