Locking is a funk-based street dance style that originated in Los Angeles, USA, in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It was created by Don “Campbellock” Campbell, who developed the style after accidentally “locking” or freezing during movements while dancing.
The dance is characterised by sharp locks, points, wrist rolls, claps, and playful performance, often danced to funk music by artists like James Brown. Locking is energetic, expressive, and highly theatrical, encouraging individuality, interaction with the audience, and strong musicality.
Locking became widely popular through the dance crew The Lockers, who appeared on television shows such as Soul Train, helping spread the style worldwide. Today, Locking remains a key foundation of hip-hop and street dance culture, influencing many modern dance styles and continuing to evolve across generations.
