Locking:
How It Started:
Invented accidentally in the late 1960s by Don “Campbellock” Campbell, an arts student at Los Angeles Trade‑Technical College. While attempting the popular “Funky Chicken,” Don froze—couldn’t remember the next step—and instinctively pointed at the audience, who loved it. Teased as the “Lock,” the move was embraced, named “Campbellocking,” and later simplified to “Locking”
Definition: a street dance style in which the "lock" is the foundational movement, building upon it with creative and personalized variations.[1]
